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
