SAHARA on Piedmont Avenue

We went to a great party the other night at Sahara, a Moroccan import store on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland.  Mostafa, the owner, was hosting a couscous dinner for his friends and customers with great Moroccan music, dancing, mint tea and baklava.  The best part was the warm hospitality of all the hosts and hostesses at the event.  Thanks, Mostafa!
