This week the OUDG team visited A Taste of Africa, a small Cameroonian restaurant specializing in West African cuisine with a vegetarian/vegan twist. We felt right at home with chef Malong Pendar and the wholesome vibe of the place that felt a lot more like the dining room of someone’s home than a commercial restaurant. The food was great, featuring chicken, black eyed peas, red chard, plantains and a smattering of other offerings. We highly recommend that you check this place out.

This week the Oakland Urban Dining Guide visited a Jamaican restaurant called, Sweet Fingers. Technically it was not in Oakland, it’s about 2 or 3 blocks out of the city limits, but for all intents and purposes this place is in Oakland. We arrived at the restaurant at 1030pm and from then until 12am things got a little wild. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken was excellent, so were the crab cakes. We also did a little Jamaican spirits testing, yielding positive results. Enjoy the video
