The Tayyibaat Meat & Grill will host a ribbon cutting at noon Thursday, Jan. 26, for the market and eatery that opened this past summer.
The 2231 W. Grant Line Road market, in the shopping center in front of the Kaiser Permanente clinic, opened in April, offering meats including lamb, goat, beef and veal, along with local honey. The grill followed in August, allowing customers to dine on fine carnivorous fare.
The restaurant’s Wali Azad said the restaurant features authentic Afghan and Middle Eastern kabobs and wraps with organic meats that are locally grown. The restaurant also offers burgers, with in-restaurant dining and takeout available.
The owners have another restaurant in Milpitas and one opening soon in San Francisco.
The Tayyibat Meat and Grill is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Black Ops Airsoft is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Temple finds home on Clover Road
A Hindu temple will soon fill a vacant strip mall on West Clover Road, as construction is under way to ready the building for the new tenant.
The Shri Paramhans Advait Mat Hindu Temple Tracy (San Francisco) will take over the whole space of the Tracy Plaza Retail Center on West Clover Road.
The 10,000-square-foot strip mall was completed in January 2009 but had since stood vacant waiting for tenants. That is, until the temple decided to take over the entire space, which comes with a 30,500-square-foot parking lot.
Construction crews have been at work converting the complex’s eight units into the temple. Though the Press tried to reach members of the Hindu community for comment, the temple’s spokesman was not available.

It was funny. Either that or we're all having the same hallucinations.
