text: Nellies brings a much needed respite from regular old sandwiches soups and pizza that pervade the Oakland lunch scene nnMy recent favs are the falafel and tabouli Oooh that tabouli so flavorful with the parsley and citrus man it is good on a ripped pita section Recent dislike is the hummos I find it too Earthy The service is nice and typically prompt they accept cards there is a minimum charge amount and the location is a plus for those of us who work at the top of the hill Stop in and give some local business owners your patronage
