Easy location to find. Nice patio seating. The staff are really great to interact with. Chicken kebab, rice, salad, fries, large pita and so fresh (best I've had in a while), the hummus ... everything is delicious and consistent over the couple of trips I've made. Looking forward to trying more things. read more

My absolute favorite Mediterranean place to eat in Walnut Creek. We love to sit outside on the patio with lush plants and enjoyable music. We have a few favorites that we absolutely love. The dolmades are so sweet and tender with a fantastic balsamic glaze sauce that is to die for! The hummus is nothing I've tasted before. I have no idea how they use garbanzo beans olive oil and paprika taste so delicious. I love how they serve a complimentary pita bread with a secret dip as soon as you sit down. The dip has tomatoes, onions, parsley, garlic and? That dip is just amazing! The garlic shrimp was good but I'm a garlic lover so bring it on! The flavors of the food at Silk Road are Amazing! Such a hidden gem in Walnut Creek! read more

Tried this place tonight while visitng Walnut Creek. The menu was interesting as they serve Greek, Mediterranean and Italian foods. We decided to share a few plates and ordered the hummus, dolmas and garlic shrimp. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. The dolmas were served with a sweet and tangy sauce that was thw perfect complement to the grape leaves, rice and herbs. The garlic shrimp was sauteed shrimp, feta cheese, garlic, tomato, and spinach. I enjoyed the shrimp dish but I felt it needed more garlic to punch up the flavor. They have outdoor dining with a covered patio. The service was friendly, thereby providing a very nice dining experience. Overall we had a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend when in the area. read more

I'm here with my family. They had a huge catering order so they were a bit slower than usual. However, the waiter kindly brought us more bread and split my plate in half to make up for it, which I appreciated. I got the chicken kabob with veggies and rice. The sauce with the bread is also delicious. I highly recommend. If you only eat halal, you can order chicken or lamb. read more

This is my go for Mediterranean food. I absolutely love the veggie wrap, it's out of sight dynamite!! The naan is so fresh and the hummus, YUM. The location is right downtown and really quaint yet they can accommodate large parties. They bring you naan and this incredible stuff (official term) to dip and it's one of the best things I've ever had in my life. Boo, I wish I had some right now! The atmosphere is really nice and the staff is always very friendly. read more

Haven't been back to this great place since my last post. Came this evening craving lamb and hummus. We walked in and the bartender was talking to guests then patiently waited and waved to be seen. He gestured us to sit wherever. We sat wherever and waited 2 minutes for a server to give us a menu. I went up and grabbed our own menus. bartender came right behind me with the best tasting water ever. He kindly took our order without writing it down of hummus, spicy Gyro wrap and a Lamb Kabob plate. Our meals came first and we never got the hummus app then my wife mentioned it and the bartender(obviously the only one working at this point) asked if we still wanted it and we agreed. Spicy gyro wasn't spicy so my wife' asked for more spicy sauce as well. He brought a bottle and she right away put some in and took a bite and said gross. I looked at the bottle and it was Reds buffalo wing sauce. So basically it changed the flavor. I took a bite of my lamb kebob and it wasn't even flavored. Just tasted boiled. The vegetable side was more flavored than the lamb. It didn't even taste like lamb. The hummus came out and that tasted like it was a microplastic mess. Just a horrible Mediterranean dining experience and we will redeem it elsewhere moving forward as the water was the best. read more

Had a fantastic dinner with some friends here recently! I know this area gets packed on the weekends, but this was a rainy weeknight, and we were able to get seated and served quickly! On to the food! Everything we had was amazing! The flat breads with the dipping sauces were great. The hummus and baba ghanoush were yummy as well. My main course was the lamb chops, and they were flat out delicious! It had been a minute since I had some lamb, and my craving was definitely satisfied! The service here was amazing as well. I'd definitely come back again! read more

This restaurant was small, like a hole in the wall, but it was well lit and clean. The food came out quick and piping hot and was packed full of flavor from all the spices. The fennel in the pita bread was top notch, especially with the balsamic, oil, veggie dip it was served with. The hummus had a punch of cumin that I really enjoyed as well. The service was just okay, our waiter was on his phone a lot and we had to call for him 4-5 times before he realized we needed assistance, which is why the 4/5 instead of a 5/5. All-around the food was good quality, but I dunno if we will be going back. read more

This place was not in the plans, belittled we are sure glad we decided to come in and eat here. Vibe was very good ate in the outdoor dining area and the the heaters they had kept it very cozy on a very cold night. Food was delicious and the serving sizes were pretty big so I definitely enjoyed that. The pita bread they give at the beginning was super good. Took a bunch of pics of the entire menu if you are interested. read more

It was not the lunch hour so we were apprehensive. We went there at 3:00pm. They had seating in the sun porch, it was almost like being in a cafe in Istanbul or Athens... They served a plate size hunk of nan (flatbread) with a dip that we ate right away- delicious and warm. The waiter was efficient and helpful, since we are vegetarians we had the platter which had a variety. The food was delicious! read more

I was craving Persian food. So we tried to go to Kabob House, but after stopping by we learned that they were a to go only business now. So instead, we decided to stop here, as I remember it's the same owners as the folks who used to own Pomegranate. But boy has this place changed. To begin, we walked in and felt totally ignored for a bit, then the waiter told us we could sit wherever... so we sat in their outdoor/indoor area. There was a huge dent in our table which seemed to be painted with nail polish and the menus were a bit eclectic with various fonts and colors. The waiter arrived and we ordered- I ordered the chicken kabob and koobideh combo and my husband got the gyro wrap. I asked for dough and they did not have it. We were shortly surprised with a delicious warm flat bread and a really garlicky sauce. The bread was really good. Then we got our food. My husband liked his gyro and the fries were really good. My koobideh tasted authentic, the rice was also really good. The chicken kabob was not what I expected and I personally did not like it, the veg was odd and despite stating that the dish came with grilled tomato- it did not ( I even asked). I was bummed. Overall the meal was ok. The restaurant is due for some major upgrading and it feels dirty inside. read more

Servings were small. My husband's $25 chicken kebab and my $30 was on the small side. Not a value. They did give flat bread and tapenade as an extra. That was nice. My moussaka had no béchamel sauce. . And was sooo salty. The baklava was flavorless. My husband said his kebab and rice was delicious. read more

Lunch Special! 2nd time here and both times we really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service. They have multiple options. I enjoyed a beautifully executed Greek salad, beef kabob, grilled chicken breast sandwich, hummus, tzatziki sauce. All lunch sized portions. Perfection in seasoning and flavors. Nice outside, covered patio dining. We're going back to try more of the menu. Truly a gem! read more

Very nice place. Great service.. Food very good.. So Many restaurants in WC closing.. I hope they survive..

So my friends and I returned to this restaurant a second time. I had so much anticipation for the foods that were fantastic. I was cruelly disappointed. The appetizer that the waiter said was tabbouli didn't taste at all like it did before. I couldn't figure out what was missing. It was still OK but not party-in-my-mouth, take-a-bath-in-it delicious. I decided to try the pomegranate chicken and was disappointed. I could hardly taste any pomegranate and there wasn't much sauce either. Like the chicken piece had been dipped in it and then plated. The garlic mashed potatoes were edible. Not quite mashed enough, hardly tasted of any garlic at all. I'm starting to think that those Yelp reviewers who complained of lack of flavor in the food were not wrong. All the food today was clearly under-seasoned. Whoever was in the kitchen either had a definite fear of salt or did not taste the food while cooking. It's a shame. What is the reason for so much inconsistency? I wonder if the real chef had the day off? Both days we dined were Wednesdays. Yelpers can see into the kitchen from the dining room so take note of who is cooking and whether the food is good that day. It is worth going to on the days when the food is great. Our waiter was very nice so service was good. read more

Pretty cute and awesome place in Walnut Creek. Silk Road did not disappoint. I placed a schedule online order for Sunday lunch, and the food was on time ready to pick up. We ordered the following - Pepperoni Pizza - small pizza for ~$16, but it was packed with flavor. Good cheese and pepperoni to bread ratio. Vegetarian Pizza - same as above, same size pizza. Garlic Prawns - tiny prawns on some greens. The person that ordered this ordered this appetizer as her meal, but it was rather small and not that flavorful. Gyros Platter - comes with an amazing amount of gyros, some lettuce with tomatoes and onions and sauce, and a side of pita. So good! Koubideh Kebob - 2 skewers of marinated ground beef kebobs with veggies and rice. It was $17, one of the pricier dishes we ordered. It would have been more worth it if it came with some sauces / yogurt sauce as the gryos platter. Side of Chicken Kebob - pretty standard, the kids enjoyed it. Sides of Gyros - I'm def getting some sides of gyros next time I come here. One side of gyros had the same amount of gyros as the gyros platter! So good. read more

Strolling down Main Street in Walnut Creek we happened upon this great little Cafe. Nice covered patio (it was raining) Friendly greeting, Our server ( who I believe is the owner) was terrific. Starts with a delicious house bread and dipping oil. We split a Greek Salad, she had the Falafel Sandwich, me I went with the Lamb Kebab, it's served with Basmati rice, grilled tomato and the daily veggie. I could eat this every day, meat was delicious. A glass of house Red to wash it done. Nice meal and never felt rush. Fabulous Find. read more

Silk Road is a gem tucked away in downtown Walnut Creek. Their food is an amazing Persian fusion, and the service is impeccable. Our waiter was incredibly attentive when we arrived and would not stop all night - and he was the only server of the night! It doesn't tend to be too busy and they seated us right away. I ordered the pomegranate chicken and it was delicious. The other kebabs looked and tasted amazing as well. I would definitely give Silk Road a try if you're ever in the area! read more

I was happy to hear they were opened on the 4th. I've been coming here for years. Each time, they're always consistently good. From their quick efficient service to the quality of their food. The kebabs are my go-to. Always seasoned well. Veggies are flavorful along with their piping hot, fluffy saffron rice. The fam both got pomegranate chicken...1/2 chicken, super crispy skin with just the right amount of pomegranate sauce, a side of Yukon mashed, and Veggies. Their flat bread and dipping sauce is a fav of mine. Fresh and tasty read more

The food was amazing - I had the pomegranate chicken and my husband had the lamb shank. Both cooked so well - so tender and juicy. Definitely recommend those two dishes! The sides were the same for both dishes: mashed potatoes with steamed vegetables. As probably expect by many, it's hard to mess up mashed potatoes so those were delicious. The vegetables were nothing special; I kinda feel like it needed more seasoning. The only not so fun part was that my father-in-law found hair in his vegetables. At first, the server seemed so nonchalant about it - didn't even take his plate back to the kitchen. Then moments later just said that it's not their hair because it was curly black hair. None of us had curly black hair - my father-in-law has gray hair and his plate didn't go around the table. Their way of rectifying the situation was okay - gave baklava at the end and removed the plate from the bill. So three stars it is. We'll probably be back but also unsure- not owning up to the hair makes it tough. I don't wanna find hair in my food there. read more

Stumbled upon this place while driving through town! What a gem! We ordered the hummus to start. The pita is freshly baked and you can absolutely tell!! The chicken kabob was so flavorful!! Highly recommend this place!! read more

The food was excellent. The service was odd but the way the protein and rice were cooked were excellent.

Nice outdoor space, but patio has some cheap photo prints on wall for decoration. Service was fine...attentive. Food... Verrrry lack luster. Salad low average, salmon way over cooked/dry... eventhough requested" medium rare". Appreciated the service, but this won't be a repeat destination. Kitchen not up to snuff... read more

Was excited to come back here after 12 years and unfortunately Silk Road under delivered. Service was friendly however good quality was less than desirable. Over cooked salmon, pomegranate rosters Chicken was WAY over cooked. Again, service was good but food quality was missing. read more

Great for stopping by for lunch. Gluten free choices and very good seafood. Nice table outside .

Nice covered patio. The place could use an upgrade but it is bright and welcoming. Five of us had lunch on Tuesday. We ordered Lunch Specials #1, 2 and 3. Gabino was the only server but kept up with all the customers. We got the complimentary pita bread and dip. It was needed as the food took some time to come but Gabino graciously brought us a second plate. The lunch specials came with hummus to share. There was a lot of food and hardly anyone finished everything. The plates had salads with 1/2 sandwich and a kabob. My salad was excellent. The koobideh kabob lacked flavor but the chicken kabob sandwich was good. The Lunch Specials were very reasonably priced. Definitely recommended. read more
