RAZI FOODS is one of my favorite restaurants in Concord. The food is ALWAYS SO GOOD: Tasty, Clean, and always seasoned and cooked perfectly. It has a humble exterior. And inside, the decor is simple but clean always. Once you enter the restaurant, someone will greet you and you can sort of seat yourself. A menu will be presented to you, as well as you can take a look at the menu/ pictures behind the counter. They have a rather simple menu with like ~ 12-15 dishes (which I like), and ALL their dishes are super yum (I've tried almost all). I really appreciate the food here. The food is clean, seasoned and cooked perfectly always (e.g. their chicken cubes are always moist!), and I never get that yucky bloated after-taste... which is why I actually crave their food frequently! Oh - one more thing... expect a super-sized serving here! lol. The rice plate is served on a serving platter sized plate, so the portion is huge, making the food here not only tasty but a great value. With the large portion, I never share... I alway take 1/2 to go for my midnight snack or lunch for the next day. Like I told the chef, eating here always keeps me happy for two days!! :) Highly recommended! . read more

I came here specifically because they had the plain rice with the saffron yellow rice on top. I had no earthly idea their chicken was going to be that moist and delicious. By far the best Persian/iranian food I've had in a long time. The place is easy to find, parking is easy and the two gentleman that helped me were very warm and kind. read more

Razi Foods aka Persian Nights opened in Tandoori Flames' space 2 years ago. New decor, seating. Same infrastructue/parking lot. Offerings (Persian/Iranian): appetizers, sides, stews, pollos, kebabs, soups, salads. Flatscreen behind counter had menu posted with pics. Paper menus had none. Steady procession of patrons-dine in & take out. No outside dining. Soft instrumentals from flatscreen showing flowers & scenery. bites: Gheymeh (16.99) Persian traditional stew. -ordered after viewing pics. Food came in 12ish minutes. -big dish of saffron covered basmatic rice flavored with rice spice blend. Irresistibly deliz. Saved most for snack later. -small aluminum bowl held the long simmered stew with yellow split pea cooked in tomato paste and onions. Skipped the veggie option. Savory taste with saffron, butter, dried lime and beef cubes. Fried potato shoestrings was atop it all. Yummy. 5 stars. Worthy. Service-good. quantity: reasonable. Quality: excellent. Artisan ingredients. Made to order. read more

Great food, great service! Honestly, you can easily share 1 combo with 2 people, the portions are so big. Even my somewhat picky eater children loved the food. The staff was also so kind when my kids spilled their water and were great the entire time. The rice and baklava in particular are so good! read more

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. read more

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

Razi Foods is an amazing restaurant with wonderful food. The kabobs are delicious can't figure if I like the chicken or beef koobideh best. If you are looking for good Persian food this is the place to visit. read more

Razi Foods - chicken kabob - Caterers Near Me - Concord, California

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

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.

Ample parking. Would definitely recommend this place. 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

Razi Foods - Kashke bademjaan - Caterers Near Me - Concord, California

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

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.

Excellent Persian food for a reasonable price. I particularly enjoyed the ground meat kebabs. Very authentic and look forward to going back!

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

Razi Foods - Combo rice (chicken and beef) with extra beef. - Caterers Near Me - Concord, California

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

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

Food was delicious as everyone said. We had the Shirin Polo, eggplant dip Kashke Bademja, and the ground steak kabob things. we ordered lavash bread to go with the dip. Husband said baklava was the best that he's had but I'm still too full to eat it. We did take out and got the mint yoghurt drinks too. Service was fantastic. Guy was very friendly. Great value. 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
