KQED Food | Ajanta, CyBelle's Front Room, Syma’s Mexican Grill & Persian Cuisine | Check, Please! Bay Area @KQEDFood | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
We start this week in Berkeley, where Ajanta focuses on harder-to-find Indian specialties with creative, modern flair, regularly changing up their menu to showcase unexpected, complex regional dishes. Next, we’re off to San Francisco’s Inner Sunset to dig into New York-style pizza at CyBelle’s Front Room. Boasting one of the Bay Area’s most extensive vegan menus, CyBelle’s focuses on decadent, carb-centric Italian and American cuisine, placing plant-based creations alongside its more familiar meat offerings. Finally, Syma’s Mexican Grill and Persian Cuisine pairs two unexpected culinary traditions, offering authentic Mexican cuisine alongside flavorful Persian fare. Syma’s isn’t a fusion restaurant; instead, it’s a celebration of two disparate palates, all served with gusto. Reporter Cecilia Phillips wraps up this week's Check, Please! Bay Area with a visit to the Coastside Farmer's Market in Half Moon Bay, home to beautiful, hyper-local produce, all harvested and produced by farms within a six-mile radius.
