About US
With new hands of the hospitality professionals, RK and Chef Lila, Sunny side changes its name to Solano Junction. Opened in the mid of pandemic 2020, these experts want to deliver quality, comfort food to the residents in the neighborhood. In compliance with Covid-19 safety precautions, the restaurant caters to take away, delivery, outdoor and limited capacity indoor dining options. The restaurant serves à la carte delicacies for breakfast, brunch and dinner, infused with traditional American, European, South Asian and Middle eastern recipes with refined modern American preparations. Solano Junction has perfected the all-day dining experience in Albany Bay in the Bay Area with an emphasis on simplicity and quality. Using seasonal and carefully sourced produce, each dish is precisely prepared by our talented chefs to stand out as a exemplary plate rather than being just another dish in our restaurant.
