San Pablo approves expansion for Paradise Indian Restaurant The restaurant, located at 3550 San Pablo Dam Road in Sobrante Plaza since 1997, will now be allowed to sell full liquor instead of only beer and wine. The business is also growing by taking over the vacant space next door in Suite B. This expansion increases the restaurant from about 3,250 square feet to 5,000 square feet. The extra room will allow for 30 more seats, bringing the total capacity to 110 customers. Co-owner Gurjinder Singh told the commission that the change was necessary because customers often asked for spirits and would go elsewhere when they were not available. The commissioners voted unanimously to approve the plan under certain conditions, including that the restaurant cannot advertise hard liquor on its main signs or windows. The restaurant’s hours will stay the same, closing at 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.transportation job fair coming to San Pablo City Hall

The City of San Pablo is planning to hold a block party as a way to get community input on the future of the Rumrill neighborhood.

The event will take place from 11 a.m to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at Los Compadres, 1742 Rumrill Blvd. Lunch and kids activities will be provided.

The city is preparing a lan for Rumrill Boulevard between Brookside Drive and Costa Avenue. The plan aims to add new housing, support local businesses, create jobs and improve environmental conditions, according to the city.

“We want to hear from you so that the plan reflects the priorities of San Pablo residents and businesses,” city officials said.

Community feedback will be presented to the San Pablo Planning Commission on Sept. 24.
