Oasis Restaurant & Wine Lounge plans to pause service for about three weeks beginning Oct. 15 while it moves from 780 Main St. to 855 Main St., a few hundred feet away in the historic Pleasanton Hotel building. Owners Omar Etemadi and Sadaf Shaghasi are aiming to reopen by Nov. 5 with the same menu and food in a refreshed, more upscale setting.
The lease at Oasis's current location is ending, according to Pleasanton Weekly. The outlet reports that the storefront has been leased to an Indian restaurant, with Lunchbox US listed as the incoming owner on an ownership application notice. Oasis opened in 2005 and has served Afghani Mediterranean food in downtown Pleasanton for more than 20 years, according to Pleasanton Weekly.
A New Home Next Door to Ruby & Roses
The move will put Oasis next door to Ruby & Roses, the other restaurant owned by Etemadi and Shaghasi. They opened Ruby & Roses in the Pleasanton Hotel building three years before October 2026, according to Pleasanton Weekly. The restaurants will share the building but operate with separate entrances, dining spaces and kitchens.
The owners describe the new space as cozier and more upscale, with the redesign focused on its appearance and decor. Shaghasi said Oasis will retain its authentic character and Afghani Mediterranean flavors.
Trade-Offs in the New Layout
The new location brings trade-offs: Oasis will have more parking and a bigger bar, but less patio space than at 780 Main St., according to the report. For special events, Ruby & Roses can serve as an extension of Oasis, with its patio available for parties and gatherings.
Oasis also plans to serve some events and parties using its own menu at Ruby & Roses during the closure, the report states. That arrangement will give the restaurant a way to continue serving customers while the move and transition are underway.
A Building With Deep Roots on Main Street
The Pleasanton Hotel is among the first few buildings constructed on Main Street and has historical significance in the city, according to Pleasanton Weekly. The building has also faced repair work: a 2023 interior fire at Ruby & Roses caused minor damage, and the restaurant was yellow-tagged by the city building inspector until repairs were completed, an earlier Pleasanton Weekly report said.
What the reopening target does—and doesn’t—tell us
Alameda County Environmental Health says the California Retail Food Code requires plan review and approval before new construction or remodeling of a retail food facility. Pleasanton’s permit page says design review applies to exterior modifications of commercial and industrial buildings. Those general requirements do not establish Oasis’s permit status, whether its plans require design review or historic-preservation review, or whether it will meet its Nov. 5 target, according to the Alameda County guide and the City of Pleasanton.
For now, the timeline points to a brief disruption rather than a lasting one. Oasis's owners are aiming for Nov. 5 to welcome customers back, this time just down the road in a building that has watched over Main Street since its earliest days.
