The food is delicious. Lamb shank fall apart tender, and the rice was full of herby flavor. Owners are sweet and hard working.

I love this place! I have basically come to the conclusion that if I come to Walnut Creek, then I must get their Ghormeh Sabzi. So were in town last week and got a regular and vegetarian Gormeh Sabzi. Both were delicious and made quickly. The only thing that makes me sad is that they don't give you the hot out of oven flat bread anymore and they don't have any seating. So I either have to devour it in my car or drive home and let it get cold. read more

*****Customer Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic***** Located in the San Miguel Center on the south end of Walnut Creek, Kabob House is a small restaurant that has been serving up mouthwatering Middle Eastern food for more than a decade. I came here on 09/26/2020 in response to a family meal deal promotion posted on the Facebook page of a group called Help Save Walnut Creek Restaurants. The family meal deal was a one-day event. For $55.99 plus tax, it included chicken kabob, beef koobideh, grilled tomatoes, onions, and green peppers, hummus, rice, naan, and baklava. It was advertised to serve four to five people. I called at around 3:30 pm just to make sure they were not talking about little people. The lady confirmed that the meal would serve four to five adults. I placed an order and asked for it to be ready at 5 pm. I walked in a few minutes before 5 pm and they were just putting the order together for me. I took a look around while waiting. The interior was very clean. The owner and her staff all had masks on. An automatic hand sanitizer dispenser was situated near the cash register for customer use. Everything was neatly packaged and nicely presented. The meats were seasoned/marinated well and charbroiled nicely. They were both juicy and flavorful. The chicken had a nice hint of coconut milk from the marinade and the beef was spiced just right. The hummus was pretty decent. It had a nice taste but was a little bit grainy. It went well with the naan, which came room temperature. I should have heated it up in the oven before eating. The two types of basmati rice, flavored with saffron and coconut milk, were the perfect accompaniments to the meats. The baklava was a nice sweet way to end the meal. The portions were very generous and definitely enough for four adults. We ended up with lots of leftovers. The owner and her chef were very nice people. They were polite and appreciative of my business. Overall, it was an excellent experience. The ordering was easy, environment was COVID-safe, and the food was delicious. Hopefully they will run this promotion again. Even if they don't, I will return. BONUS MATERIAL: - Curbside pickup available. - Major credit cards accepted. read more

I'm in town getting my hair done and decided to order from here--so glad I did! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely a go-to spot when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Their chicken kabob is my absolute favorite! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for Persian food! read more

I agree with all the one-star reviews. This is the absolute worst Persian restaurant I have ever been to. This review is only for their customer service, not the food, because we didn't get to try the food. I'm glad that we didn't, actually. We arrived at their door and stood there so a staff member could seat us. We waited for ten minutes, and no one came to greet us, which probably explains why no other guests were there. When we realized that no one would come up and help us sit, we left. A much better Persian place nearby, Alborz, gave us the best kebobs and service. Please do not go to this place. Go to Alborz instead and thank me later. read more

Great experience at Kabob House! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and the takeout service was quick and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Persian kabobs! read more

I have reviewed Kabob House before and felt compelled to write another review. Kabob House is my go to for great Persian food. It is the best around (and I have tried several others that don't even come close). We ordered the beef Koubideh kabob, chicken kabob, tadig (crunchy rice that you hav to try), and yogurt with mint. Try to zereshk pollo (white rice with burberries - gives a sweet and tangy taste). The staff are pleasant and the food is delicious. All middle eastern food is not the same and neither is all Persian food. If you want the really good stuff - Kabob House in Walnut Creek is your place. read more

Food is ok. Service more to be desired. Ambiance needs improvement! In my opinion Service is very important even if food is not perfect! read more

Great food, great service.... You cant go wrong with this place... Definitely a hidden gem, get the chicken kabobs over rice.!!!!!

It's so difficult to find good Persian cuisine in the east bay and being down the street from my house, we gave it a go. Service was amazing! Super caring and attentive during our carry out process. The Soltani was a little dry for my taste but was a large portion which I like. We also ordered four orders of koobideh which my teens devoured before I can snap photos. The fesenjoon with chicken was delicious and will be my go too. They will definitely be our new go to when we're craving kabob nearby. read more

Kabob House is a hidden gem in the San Miguel Center right next to Dunkin' and across from Whole Foods. Parking is convenient too, which isn't always easy in Walnut Creek. Now let's talk about the food. The food here is delicious as it is generous! We ordered chicken kabobs and koobideh and it came with grilled tomatoes, rice, salad, and fresh bread. If you mention family style, your order will come in foil trays ready for sharing. The owner was so sweet over the phone and our food was prepared on time when we arrived to pick it up. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The chicken kabobs were juicy and moist. The koobideh (charbroiled ground beef) was equally scrumptious. The spices were on point. Oh and can we give a shout out to the rice? It was fluffy, buttery, yummy, basmati goodness. Add some fresh warm bread and salad. And you have a completely satisfying meal. We were definitely loving our dinner. There was enough food for 6 hungry adults plus leftovers. Kabob House is very accommodating. You can tell the owners really care about their customers and the quality of their food. You will be well fed and extremely delighted. If you haven't tried Persian cuisine, this is a wonderful place to experience it! read more

Incredible food. Better than any Middle Eastern food I ever ate before. I had the lunch special which consisted of delicious chicken kebabs, roasted tomatoes, and sauces for dipping pita bread into. The owner is very friendly and happy. read more

The other day, I ordered takeout Koobideh and lamb shank platters, and the food was perfectly prepared. For one person, the portion was more than enough. It was among the nicest meals I've had in Walnut Creek lately. Highly recommend!!! read more

Kabob House is warm and inviting, hospitable, with great service. The restaurant itself is clean and well-kept, offering pleasant dining. Waiters are very attentive to their guests' needs, making one feel welcome and taken care of. Be it dining out or take-out, the experience is always great. This would be a very good place to enjoy Persian cuisine in a friendly and relaxed environment. read more

Great service. Consistent food. We love their koobideh with fresh bread. The owner is always nice and friendly.

Fesanjan $19.95: I was looking for takeout to bring to my friend's place in the area, and went with Kabob House because I like Fesanjan. I typically get it from Yas Restaurant in San Jose, so just comparing these 2 I like Yas more still. The chicken was a little dry and there wasn't a lot of tang to the sauce. I thought the serving of the stew itself looked small for the price, but I did get super full after finishing it, even though I didn't need all that rice. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

Kabob House - Fesanjan $19.95 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Kabob house provided lunch catering for a family gathering we were hosting. I spoke with Sarah and ordered koobideh, chicken, rice, tomatoes, onions and salad family style. Day of order pick up was a breeze the food was ready early. When we ate lunch, everyone commented how delicious everything was and for whatever it's worth, my husband and in laws are from Iran. Delicious food, great service. I'll definitely be back! Thank you. read more

Food is ready fast service is great now their portions are huge with loads of rice a whole piece of flatbread and a salad so price is good if you want it all its only take out right now read more

Food is bland. Service was really nice and food was quick. I'd say the quality is good but just the flavor isn't there.

Kabob House is nestled inside of a quiet little shopping center. At the corner of South Broadway and Newell. I walked in right as they opened at 11:30am to order some food to go. The restaurant was setup for take out. Even with most of the tables put up the ambiance of the place was still very relaxing. There was some light guitar music playing as I took my time deciding what to order. The lady (Zora) was very friendly and helpful as I waffled between my order. I went with the lunch Chello Kabob Koobideh platter, Chicken Kabob platter, Khoresht-e-Gheymeh, and Baklava. I mentioned how the Khoresht-e-Gheymeh was going to be my dinner for later. She offered to have it stored cold that way I could keep it refrigerated in the meantime instead of walking back with hot stew that might not be good later in the evening. How very considerate! While waiting for my order to come up two other people came in for a pickup. Otherwise it was not full or busy on a Tuesday around 11:30am. The food was arranged beautifully inside some of the nicest eco friendly containers I have seen. The beef and chicken kabobs were a hit at lunch. They came complete with rice, hummus, flatbread and some vegetables and the yogurt sauce. The baklava was so good that we ate it and didn't have any left over for dinner . The Khoresht-e-Gheymeh was delicious after a quick round in the microwave. It was hearty and filling. Very much comfort food. All in all, I would recommend and will definitely return. Great find. read more

I'm still going to give them 5stars because we been getting food from this place for a while but recently it's very inconsistent when it comes to their beef kabob. We still like this place though. read more

Food was okay. Rice tasted too buttery. Chicken, beef, and bread a bit dry. Not enough grilled vegetables. Restaurant dark and dreary. Won't go back. read more

Such kind owners and yummy food! We had the fesenjan & combo chicken & lamb kabobs. The saffron rice was delicious and enjoyed the side salad. So close to home & delicious! read more

Delicious food and great attitude I always order by phone and pick up in 30 minutes very responsive. Their soltani is the best . read more

The food is so good. My favorite is the lamb kabob cooked to perfection and the vegetables cooked to perfection.

Finally got a chance to try Kabob House and it was so yummy! My family and I ordered 2 lamb shanks, koobideh, koobideh + kebab combo, and chicken combo for dinner. It was enough food for the 4 of us, and we had a lot of leftover rice, salad, bread, and a few pieces of meat to spare. The ingredients are very fresh, especially the salad. The rice was mouthwateringly good, and the koobideh was seasoned and grilled perfectly. The person who took my order on the phone was courteous and considerate. She made sure she ask if I wanted the food packaged family style, or individually, which I appreciated. I'll be back to try the lunch special! read more

Enjoyed this place! The owners are extremely hospitable and they provided a complimentary salad ( included in fine in and excluded for take out orders) 1. Time : took 10 minutes for my take out order 2. Cost: $23.56 for limeade ($2.99) and the combo lamb/koobideh plate . Steeper than most Mediterranean places in the east bay. I'd probably order 1 kabob and not 2 3. Meal: very satisfying - I finished half of it . Meats had mild flavors. I preferred the lamb and not too fond of the koobideh (beef) and would get the lamb/chicken combo next time. The roasted tomato was great and the rice extremely filling . Given I hadn't eaten anything and it's 4pm I could only finish 1/2- that's how much food they give you ! All in all cool place, initimate, filling, home cooked . Great service read more

Kabob House - Lamb combo plate with koobideh (beef), rice, roasted tomato. Salad was complimentary and not usually included . Only finished 1/2 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

2 words: Combination Kabob. You go to a Kabob house for meat so don't mess around with 1 when there's the option of multiple. In an assuming location in a mall plaza opposite Papa John's Kabob House serves some legit Persian food. + Simple Salad of Lettuce, Tomato and Onion with some delicious dressing as an appetizer. + Decent sized portions. + Juicy, tender meats. + Bread, Butter and Yogurt dipping sauce to accompany your meal. + Attentive but not ''in your face'' service. + Clean environment. Although I think the prices are a little high for the portion sizes Kabob House is most definitely aplace I will keep in mind for future visits. read more

Kabob House is tucked away in a small plaza on Newell Ave, away from the craziness of Downtown Walnut Creek. Don't let this unlikely spot discourage you-Kabob House holds it's own amongst others on the Walnut Creek dining scene. It's small and cozy with simple, classy and modern Middle Eastern style decor. You are greeted warmly by the owners (who also serve their guests) and given some warm and fluffy pita bread. The menu is fairly straight forward with a variety of kabobs and appetizer platters. All dinners also come with a small side salad. I had the veggie kabob which featured flavorful tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and onions. Atop their saffron rice, cooked perfectly, it was a simple yet flavorful dinner. My boyfriend got the chicken kabob platter which also had some veggies similar to mine mixed in. We started with the hummus, which at $4.95 was a generous portion and well priced appetizer. The hummus had a nice texture and we could tell it was freshly made. Overall, it was a pleasant meal, with good food and lovely service. A hidden gem in Walnut Creek! read more

Delicious, fresh, good portions. I love this place. Entrees come with salad and yummy vegetables. The chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled. The food is always delicious and fills you up. Highly recommend this place. Best Persian food! read more

First time trying this place, and we were definitely fans. The meat was juicy and tender (not dry and overcooked like some places) and the portions were very filling. We weren't fans of the eggplant Bonne (mainly the minty taste) but that can be more a case of just taste preference and not the food's fault. would definitely come back again if we're in the area read more

I went there to pick up several beef Soltani, chicken soltani, and koobideh combinations about 3 weeks ago. The lady taking the orders was very nice and very organized. Food was very tasty and everyone really enjoyed their food. The only bad thing was that they use lamb for their koobideh and my family didn't eat the koobidehs. Other than that, their food was excellent. For me it worked out better, for 2-3 days I had leftover koobideh kabobs I will definitely go back to this location. read more

We had three orders delivered. Lots of flavorful rice. The naans were dry. The chicken breast was lacking flavor. The chicken thighs and beef kabobs were excellent. read more
