Eggplant dip
Be J.

Staff friendly and portions HUGH. We had: 1) lamb shank - 4.5/5 wish more lima beans in the rice; 2) chicken kabob with zereshki rice 5/5 chicken was moist, butter and delish; 3) eggplant dip 4/5 yummy but no afghan bread!; 4) side of koobideh 45; 5) saffroni rice pudding 4/5 no too sweet and bursting w flavor; and 6) napolean 5+/5. Possibly the best napolean i have ever eaten. YUM! We have been eating persian food since the 80s and this is one of the best we have tried.

This place is so great. We love their food so much, that we ended up catering them for my wife's birthday party. Mehdi & his team were so nice & easy to work with & the food was incredible. Very reasonable pricing as well. Will for sure be booking my next party with them.

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.

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.

Barberry Rice & Saffron Chicken

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.

I'm not an authority on Afghan food so this is rated as an outsider…read more Overall the food can be summarized as: lightly seasoned, enjoy the simple flavors of each component, and Must use the sauces to complete the dish. I personally think everything needed some salt, but maybe it's meant to be this way. Highlight is most definitely the green sauce (yogurt and chili, not spicy), baklava (sweet sticky on the bottom and flaky crisp on top, not overly sweet), yogurt mint drink (dough). Shami beef and chicken kebab were juicy and not dry. Through a bit of miscommunication.. I was given the yogurt drink instead of the normal side of yogurt cucumber sauce for the meat, and was warned by Ali that some people don't like it since it's a yogurt drink with salt, but honestly it was great and was essentially a yogurt mint sauce I expect from other Mediterranean/Middle Eastern type places but more watery. So admittedly I just took sips of this while taking bites of the kebab and rice and it was pretty much the flavors I was looking for, but an extra step. Beef Mantu was another source of confusion since there are regular and homemade versions (I didn't realize). They made me the homemade version without confirming with me on the phone; no problem. It was filled with lightly seasoned beef and topped with interesting spices. Overall not bad not great, definitely needs sauce / salt. Too light in my opinion. And for $25 I wouldn't get again not worth it. The customer service from Ali was great. Knowing this was my first time he explained everything, offered to charge me less due to the miscommunications (I declined), and gave complimentary side of sauce and baklava as a nice gesture. Good food. I know how to order next time. Extra green sauce or yogurt drink all over.

Good stuff! The star rating is purely for the type and grade of restaurant this is…read more As we've always had this place on the raider being its neighbor, we finally made it here and met the owner. Service was pleasant, and we received enough attention throughout the meal course. Great, open seating with the view on the Monument Boulevard, that was bright and comfortable. The outstanding Afghani food, and even better the desserts with saffron tea made this experience complete throughout. Would highly recommend Narunj Palow with thinly sliced dates. Turned out to be a little bit pricier than I thought it would be for a lunch, however, it really did worth it.

I've been a loyal customer of Alborz for over 32 years, dating back to their original Fremont…read morelocation, and I've been visiting the Walnut Creek restaurant since it first opened. There was a period when both the food and service had declined, but I believe in giving credit where it's due. Over my last several visits during the past two months, Alborz has been absolutely outstanding. The koobideh kabobs are some of the best I've had in a long while; truly mouthwatering. The flavors were explosively mouthwatering and unforgettable. In my opinion, great koobideh needs three essential qualities: it should be flavorful, juicy, and chunky in texture. Alborz's koobideh delivers on all three. The accompanying rice is perfectly cooked; fresh, fluffy, glossy, and delicious. Their bread also deserves special recognition. It's baked fresh daily in their tandoor, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The restaurant's interior has been beautifully updated and feels fresh and inviting, and the service has improved tremendously. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. After these recent experiences, Alborz has earned its way back to the top of my list for Persian kabobs. It's wonderful to see a longtime favorite return to the high standards that made it so special in the first place. Keep up the fantastic work, Team Alborz!

There was no answer on the phone. I called the Uber eats Driver who so kindly been waiting there for almost an hour and when he walked up to talk to them to see what was going on, they just told him that they were canceling the order. They're no longer gonna make our order for a Mother's Day dinner with kids we were trying to feed and then just a crass cancellation. I liked this restaurant in the past, but I will never go again.
