Problem: I usually come here for happy hour. Happy hour menu is pretty good. Place gets packed quickly. Gets loud once in a while. Outdoor seating is nice touch. They have misters in the summer and patio heaters in the winter. Service is good.

Problem: It's not that India Garden is actively bad, but there is not much to recommend it either. The food is your typical Americanized grub, the Indian equivalent of "Chinese Takeout." The service is pretty unfriendly. The waiter mumbled unintelligibly over the blaring music; then, he looked impatient and put out when I asked him to repeat what he said. No one from the waitstaff looked like he wanted to be there. The only highlight was that the vegetarian and some of the chicken dishes are "half off" after 10pm. My order of chicken saag at $5.50 probably does qualify as a bargain, but the watery saag and the stingy bits of chicken make the regular price kind of a rip off. So after normalizing for the overpriced menu, I consider the discount to be more like 20%. Conclusion: there are better options unless you are trapped in Oakland past 10pm and starving. 2.5 stars

Problem: This is a great breakfast joint to hit after a night of partying. A nice big country style breakfast to get you back in shape for another night out. I had the French toast, eggs and country potatoes. It was great! Seating is limited so very large parties may have to wait.

Problem: First, I must say that I'm a Hot Topic fan, in general. This particular store is pretty small in comparison to most, but it still manages to pack enough awesomeness into its crevices to keep you coming back. And what you can't find in store, you can order online. If you're a fangirl (like myself) or fanboy who likes to have thingamajigs from your choice fandom, you're likely to find it at HT. This store has a nice selection of HP (Harry Potter), Dr. Who, Supernatural, Disney, Marvel, etc., goodies, ranging from t-shirts, jackets, & belts, to wallets & backpacks. HUGE selection of band & pop culture t-shirts. Their clothes (especially the women's jeans) run small, so keep that in mind. When I was a size 2, I needed a 7 in their jeans. (They have a sister store, Torrid, which offers plus-sizes.) Goths will find no shortage of black everything. Cute punk outfits too. Fun socks, hats, & accessories. Head to the back of the store to search for clearance sale items. This store is neat, and there are some really cool employees working here. Sign up for their free HT+ membership/rewards program and get special discounts throughout the year, including a birthday discount.
