This has to be some of the freshest and best kebabs I've had! The service is great! You must get the eggplant dish. Thank me later. Even if you're not a fan of eggplant, you got to get it. Very Smokey and flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try #5 and #6. I was basic and got the #3 but I'm glad I got to try it. The place is very family feel, mom and pop shop. The people are friendly and helpful! Highly recommend to anyone who wants a healthy and flavorful meal! read more

We were introduced to good Persian cuisine when my son got invited to a birthday party which was catered by Razi foods. We had to visit them in Monument Blvd. and ordered the following: 1. Chicken kabob- tender chicken skewer marinated lemon juice and saffron 2. Koobideh - seasoned skewers of ground sirloin The serving is generous. Staff is friendly. Bathroom is well-stocked. Ample parking. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

I grew up on monument blvd and always wanted good food reminding me from back home, I was surprised to finally see one and gave it a shot, I kid you not it's the best food you'll have especially if you guys like Persian foods and want to try it out at good price definitely try here first, customer service is also great that's why I always choose this place out of the rest. Inside as well is very homey feeling you can dine in and eat. read more

My wife and I chose Razi Foods to cater for our daughter's first birthday and the food was a complete hit. All the guests loved it and asked where we got it from. The food was flavorful and fresh, portions are generous even for catering. Razi Foods delivered the food to our birthday on time. Would definitely recommend them for catering. read more

If you like Mediterranean food, then you've come to the right place here at RAZI FOOD. This place serves AWESOME FRESH GREAT TASTING FOOD. Period. You'll find one of the best tasting Persian/ Iranian food here!! Their dishes are all so very tasty!! My favorite is the #3 Combo dish -- it has their (oh so moist!) Chicken and beef kabob, plus a grille tomato over basmati rice. It's a very large portion and feeds 2 people... but I never share and would pack the rest for a midnight snack or lunch for the next day!! lol. Another of my favorite is the Chicken Leg (x2) with rice with berries. The chicken legs are well marinated, moist and very tasty. The broth is also has great flavors, and I love pouring the broth over rice and slurping everything all up!! The exterior is very humble, with nice roomy and very clean interior. Service is always friendly with fast efficient service. The food deserves a SOLID 5-Star here! read more

Razi Foods is now at this location off Monument that used to house a Chinese restaurant originally for many years, which then turned into an Indian and then a Himalayan place, and now have found itself with a Persian cuisine. Slightly different than how it was before, this place is definitely more set up like a deli style, as the front counter is filed with items to just grab and go, including desserts and such, while the menu is all up behind the counter. Of course, there are still plenty of places to sit down here as well, so if you prefer to dine-in that is also an option. We'll start with the service, because this place is a bit tricky. While the staff there was nice and friendly, the service is a bit stifled and slow. It does appear that the majority of the business with Razi Foods is takeout, and even with that they seem to be slower, so if you plan to dine-in, and you're not a regular, just be aware it may take time. There may not even be someone in the front for awhile, so probably just sit down when you get in if you're not picking up or ordering ahead because it may be awhile. Now, let's get down to business, the food. As noted, they offer a variety of different dishes, and the kebab options are certainly where its at with Razi Foods. While the prices on the surface for these plates may seem to be more expensive, the quantity of food you get for the price is actually quite comparable and filling. The eggplant dip was nice and tasty as a appetizer. I got the beef kebab plate for myself, and the amount of beef you get with the dish was aplenty. The beef is also grilled and flavored well, so no complaints there. The grilled tomato it came with was nice and big to help build on the plate. And the plain rice and flavored rice was also quite delicious. My friend got a combination plate, and his rice looks like it had some extra stuff going on with it which I may opt to try out next time since it looks yummy. However, I was able to sneak a bit of that chicken and honestly, I feel I probably like the chicken a bit more than the beef because it had more flavoring to it. May do that combination though since the beef was decent too. There's a lot to be desired at Razi Food for those who are craving Persian cuisine. But do note, for dine-in, it may not always be the speediest of times there depending on how busy they are with take-out orders and such. When they are around though they are friendly and approachable. Reasonable price for the amount of food you get, and everything tasted well spiced and seasoned. Will certainly be back again in the future. read more

Yummy food and generous portions. Very nice staff. The koobideh and chicken plates/skewers are delish, dessert tasty as well. Ambiance not my fave but I take out anyway. Check them out, highly recommend! read more

The Food is so good. we especially like the eggplant dip appetizer. The dish sizes are large. A lunch dish is gonna be about $20 without drink, but it's gonna have enough to take home and it's delicious. Best place to stop along monument. The service is great. read more

Pour one out for the Mandarin Garden that used to be in this location. In its place, Razi Foods (aka Persian Kitchen), is a worthy new restaurant. It's a bit hard to find as it's tucked behind a Jack in the Box and the parking lot seems half abandoned. We came here on Tuesday for lunch and we weren't even sure if they were open due to the signage and the lighting inside. Thankfully, they were and we were able to partake in many delicious foods. We started with the Kashke Bademjan (Persian Eggplant Dip). I asked the staff if this was similar to Baba Ghanoush and the gentleman said kind of but without Tahini. This was fantastic- served warm with lavash. We also had Persian Shallot Yogurt Dip which was good, but you can get something similar at Persian grocery stores. It was nice with lavash and with our main courses. For entrees, we got the #1 Beef Koobideh plate. A generous portion of rice/saffron rice, two skewers worth of ground beef, and a roasted tomato. We also got the #5 Jewel Rice Shirin Polo plate. Tender chicken with fruit forward flavored rice. Everything was very tasty and it was more than enough food for 3 people. read more

We ordered catering from Razi Food for our Nowruz event at UCSF, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food quality was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All of our guests, both Iranian and non-Iranian, enjoyed the food. It was wonderful to see such a positive response across the board. The customer service was also exceptional. Everything was prepared on time and ready for pickup, carefully arranged and displayed with great attention to detail. Thank you, Razi Food, for your excellent service and for helping make our Nowruz celebration so special! read more

Delicious koobideh and chicken kebab. Rice is on point. Get sangak from the market around the corner.

Truly a hidden gem hiding behind Jack in the box on monument. Razi's serves possibly the best Persian food in Contra Costa. The meat has the best charcoal flavors and seasoning is perfect every time. While their menu is a small selection, you can really tell that they put a lot of time and heart into each dish. While we might order different meats from time to time, we ALWAYS get the eggplant (kashisk bedejan). It's so creamy, smokey, minty, and rich. Drooling just thinking about it!! Eating at Razi's feels less like a business exchange and more like visiting family. The staff is so hospitable and friendly. The restaurant itself is quiet and cozy so you can enjoy your meal without interrupting like you would at home. read more

Came in this afternoon to finally try some Persian food in my area. Ordered the #3 with extra chicken kebab. Food was amazing as my family thoroughly enjoyed it! The chef came out to take the order and recommended the chicken for the kids (as he had some of his own). Place only had the front part open but there's additional room on the sides for larger parties. Overall pretty good place to come to, will definitely come back again! read more

Lets start with the food, great presentation, huge portions and the flavors are the closest to real Persian food I have tasted. Everything from the Chicken Kebabs and the Ghormeh Sabzi to the Koobideh were marveled at by all the people at the table. Then came the Baklava, the real deal. No almonds or walnuts, but all pistachios, butter and honey. A real treat. This is one I highly recommend. This is the place to come for the authentic flavors of Persia. read more

I came to this restaurant as a newbie, I've never eaten Iranian food before. I was pleasantly surprised, I loved it! I got the eggplant dip, and it was fabulous (I've never eaten eggplant before either!). I also got the chicken kebab and kebab koobideh with rice. It was more than enough food for 2 people (ended up bringing half of it home). I also bought some baklava to take home, it was also delicious. We stood at the counter for a bit until another customer got up and poked her head in the kitchen to let them know we were there. We ordered then sat down and food was brought out to us. Everything tasted great, the chicken in particular was seasoned so well and was so incredibly tender. The rice looked dry but it wasn't, it was so flavorful. Having this restaurant so close to me is both good and bad. Good because it's close when I get cravings. Bad because I might end up ordering often! read more

Good food, good service, reasonable prices. Tried the chicken kabab which was very good. Recommend this place.

Razi Restaurant offers very delicious food at very reasonable prices. The chicken kebab is especially excellent, very tender, flavorful, and served in a good portion. Overall, great quality food for the price, and definitely worth coming back. Well deserved for 5 stars! read more

Wow! Just had lunch here and they probably are the best value for Persian food in the area. Not only is the flavor and char excellent, their portions are probably 1/3 to a half bigger than the competition for the price. I have to stress, many of the items on their menu are also much cheaper than what you'll find at other Persian restaurants ($2 baklava anyone?). They even have a few Euro-style cakes and pre-made tubs of savory to-go items in the display case. The place was empty when I visited, but should be a go-to spot for people looking for healthy, tasty, and hearty food. I can't wait to tell friends and family about it. In these days and times of major shrinkflation, this place definitely makes you feel like you get alot for your money. Bonus: the wait staff are really nice. read more

Finally a good Persian food restaurant in the east bay. We did take out and everything was good. We ordered beef and chicken kabob with shallot yogurt. It's was delicious and authentic. Nothing against dariyoush in wc but it's not authentic Persian food. If you want really good Persian food this is the place We are Persian and have high expectations for our cuisine and this place meets it. That being said the decor and interior is outdated and strange so not a place you want to impress anyone to bring but I hope they are successful with the excellent food to be able to remodel. read more

Thank God for this place!! I've tried every Iranian food spot in the Tri- valley and Fremont area trying to replace my favorite spot called Shiraz. Unfortunately they went out of business years ago.

We came here today during the storm to grab lunch after story time at the library. The gentleman working the counter picked up my call right away and was very friendly. Upon arrival, they had plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and inside our food was ready for pick up. The man working the counter was very polite and rang me up quickly. They had an assortment of drinks like dough and they had Persian desserts like sholeh Zard, fereni, etc. I had ordered a #3 koobideh/ joojeh combo and it was a generous portion of food. Unfortunately by the time we got home, our food was cold and a bit lacking in flavor. read more

A Hidden Gem in Concord - Razi Foods! Just had an incredible family meal at Razi Foods in Concord, and wow--what an experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered a stunning platter of fragrant saffron rice served with juicy chicken kabobs, perfectly grilled koobideh, and a variety of beautifully charred vegetables that brought a rich, smoky depth to the meal. Every bite was bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. We also started with their kashke bademjan (Persian eggplant dip), and it was easily one of the best we've had--creamy, savory, and topped with crispy fried onions and herbs that brought it all together. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience felt like a home-cooked feast. If you're anywhere near Concord and love Persian food--or even if you've never tried it--Razi Foods is an absolute must. We're already planning our next visit! read more
