Eat. Drink. Gather.

A neighborhood spot to hang with friends and be in community. Pakistani-inspired small plates and a creative, sustainably-minded beverage program in an upbeat tropically-hued oasis in the heart of Uptown Oakland. Welcome to Gold Palm. Let’s have fun!

Shirin Raz and Daniel Gahr of Bar Shiru took over this corner space in the Floral Depot building and installed Gold Palm, a restaurant that serves what the couple dubbed “Pakistani party food.”

Diners can tuck into chicken samosas, salads, or the chile cheese toasty, a cheddar- and Gruyere-laden grilled cheese with jalapeño inside. If there’s time, see if there’s room to dip into the attached speakeasy Moonglow for drinks, although be aware that visitors are prohibited from taking photos and videos inside.
