Cal's and Mt. Agni go dark, plus the last East Bay outpost of a classic Italian deli has closed
"After announcing a temporary closure earlier in the year, this Downtown Berkeley casual eatery appears to have permanently shuttered. The website and Instagram pages have been taken down, and is no longer active on the delivery and restaurant ordering apps. In addition to fried chicken sandwiches and smash burgers, the restaurant served chicken strips, fries, wings and chopped cheese sandwiches. Cal's Fried Chicken and Burgers was located at 2026 University Ave. in Berkeley."
"In a decade, the Bay Area has lost all of its Genova Delis. In 2016, fans flocked to the original Oakland location for one last sandwich. In November, another location on Treat Boulevard in Walnut Creek shuttered, and now, as of this week, the final location, in downtown Walnut Creek, has closed, as first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Genova Deli has a history dating back nearly six decades in Walnut Creek and the first Oakland deli opened in Temescal in 1926."
Several East Bay restaurants have closed recently. Cal's Fried Chicken and Burgers at 2026 University Ave. in Berkeley appears to have permanently shuttered after a temporary closure; its website and Instagram were taken down and it no longer appears on delivery and restaurant ordering apps. Cal's menu included fried chicken sandwiches, smash burgers, chicken strips, fries, wings and chopped cheese sandwiches. All Bay Area Genova Deli locations have closed over the past decade, with the final downtown Walnut Creek site shuttering; Genova's ravioli business will remain open and a separate Napa Genova remains operating. Mt. Agni at 1829 Euclid Ave. in Berkeley has closed; its phone is disconnected and the website has gone dark. The restaurant specialized in Nepali, Himalayan and Indian dishes such as momos and biryanis.
