Shal's is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. It is nestled in-between Noe Valley/Castro and close to all the lovely restaurants and bars of the area. The whole place made us feel at ease. Shal was very nice, easy to talk to and very friendly when she welcomed us and even suggested some wonderful restaurants that were located nearby. She even took it a step further when telling us that landscapers would be in the back yard as to not give us worry or alarm. I would definitely come again!
