Best WLM Reviews
I cannot believe that this place is underestimated. It definitely deserves 5 stars.
I got the Alborz plate that is enough for two people. It comes with 3 different skewers and 2 saffron rice. The dish was absolutely super great.
I got the Cesar salad, and it was below average. More cheese and sauce should be added.
I tried the Turkish coffee, and it was just like the coffee I got from Turkey; super good and super strong. Also, I got a fresh pomegranate and it was good.
The place’s vibes are so good. They have internal and external tables. For sure, I am going to visit them again.
An Unforgettable Wedding Dinner at Alborz
We celebrated our wedding dinner at Alborz Restaurant in Walnut Creek last night, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The food was incredible—everything we ordered was perfectly prepared and delicious. We had Joojeh Soltani, Koobideh, Lamb Shank, and the Combo Plate as an appetizer. Each dish was flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection.
The service was just as exceptional as the food. Mr. David, the owner, was incredibly attentive, checking in with us several times to ensure everything was to our liking. Ms. Zhaleh was also wonderful—so kind and helpful throughout the evening. She even took amazing photos of our wedding dinner, which made the evening feel even more special.
The warm hospitality and exquisite Persian cuisine made this a night we’ll never forget. Thank you, Alborz, for making our celebration truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience!
This restaurant has been here for a long time. Last year when I visited, I received fresh hot baked naan. Unfortunately today the Naan we got was reheated. we ordered kashk e bademjan for appetizer and the Alborz special dinner for two . This was a watery bademjan with little Kashk. Definitely not a traditional recipe. The Kobideh and the roasted tomatoes were excellent the chicken and the barg kabobs were average, lacking flavor. My least favorite was the rice which appeared steamed.
Delicious foods and good services and plenty of parking.
However, their quality is not as good as many other Persian restaurants in the Bay Area considering the premium rate they charge for the meals.
Is worth a try but they need to improve.
In a Nutshell: Brilliant food, but the service? A complete nightmare!
I recently tried the Alborz Restaurant, enticed yet cautious due to its polarizing reviews. Joined by a couple of my friends, we started off our night with Ash and Tahdig with stew. Let me tell you, the blend of crispy rice and Gheymeh was nothing short of spectacular!
For the main dish, we had Ghormeh Sabzi, a Lamb Shank, and I opted for a custom mixed platter – Barg and Cornish Hens. As the photos clearly show, these dishes weren’t just good-looking; they were bloody delicious. Wrapping up with Persian Tea, I was nearly transported back to home – a genuine, heartfelt touch.
But then, disaster struck at the finish line – the bill. I had requested a swap in my mixed platter, which the waiter confirmed without a whisper about extra charges. Imagine my shock when the bill showed charges for two separate dishes! I politely pointed this out to one of the hosts, expecting a quick fix. Instead, what I got was rudeness personified! Not only did she refuse to correct their blunder, but she also had the gall to verify my story with the waiter. I eventually could convince her to fix the bill but it was appalling! I believe her name was Naseem as it was mentioned in the bill! This fiasco left a bitter taste in our mouths.
Also, it’s a real shame – the team works their socks off, and one individual’s lack of professionalism can ruin it all. It’s crystal clear why this gem was deserted at prime dinner time.
To the management: Wake up! You're hemorrhaging money and risking your brilliant team for someone who clearly hasn't got the first clue about the essence of hospitality. And if she is part of the management team, for the sake of her business and success of her team, she should remove herself from that position!
My advice to potential diners? Steer clear of this establishment unless you’re certain that this particular host is nowhere in sight – better yet, make sure she’s on vacation, permanently!"
One of the best Persian restaurants in Walnut Creek.
They have many tables. Good choice for families.
Their menu was big and varied.
Prices are acceptable.
Service was excellent.
The food was delicious except the Caesar salad.
Kababs were awesome! Moist with high quality. Rice portions were enough so that there won’t be any waste. Ghormeh Sabzi didn’t impress me much since I couldn’t taste the dry lemon flavor and looked like the meat cooked separately and added to gravy later. But overal, food was amazing. I am going to be a regular customer now on.

Recommendation: loved this Persian restaurant. First time here. I love going to Walnut Creek downtown for food options. Loved the chicken kebab and lamb shank. Their pallao was amazing. I will be back and highly recommend this place for Persian food.
