The sauce station
Mary K.

My sister told me about this place and I'm glad tried it. The food was delicious and I loved the rice and the yogurt sauce. The service was great and the place well decorated. Will definitely be back again soon. I tried the chicken kabob bowl with rice and a side of pita. It was yummy.

Beeps when ready

Much better than last time. I ordered the San Diego Grilled Wrap($15.90)- Chicken Shawarma, Crispy to perfection fries, feta, red cabbage slaw, pickled onions, romaine, tomato, cucumber and garlic yogurt. What made it so much better was I found the Yogurt sauce in the back. It's all you can eat. I used 2 on their small containers of sauce. And it really needed it as it was dry without it. My mom loves fries so that's why I ordered this dish. I think she was disappointed that they were stuffed inside and wasn't a side of fries. My mom did smother then wrap with ketchup which I thought was odd, but she enjoyed it and that's all that mattered. Next time I'll order her the Kabab Fries($14.90- Crave Fries plus protein. I think that will be bigger hit for her. My dad had the Chicken Protein Bowl ($16.90) Saffron Chicken Kebab (huge pieces), SuperGreens (aka lettuce), feta, hummus, tzatziki, crispy chickpeas (Crispy but not crunchy like a corn nut), red cabbage slaw, romaine, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and garlic yogurt. He then smothered it with the Dill Yogurt sauces from the back of the restaurant. The Dill Yogurt and Original Garlic Yogurt are both kept on ice which make me fill more comfortable as they are both milk products. Ambiance was good. I felt like I was in a Kebab restaurant. You order a the counter and they give you a buzzer. The buzzer will buzz when your order is ready and then you go to the back counter and pick up your order on a metal tray. The condiments are help yourself in the back along with the soda machine. The have 2 unisex bathrooms with hand dryers that took a bit to turn. On. I almost gave up on it and air dried my hands. The sensor must be off. Parking is a little tricky during meal hours. It's part of a strip mall with a shared parking lot. All the spaces were taken out front so we walked behind the Thai restaurant closer to Safeway and found parking. It was a little bit of a walk compared to all the spaces our front, but not bad for able bodied individuals. I'd come back now knowing where the extra yogurt is as the wrap was a bit on the dry side. I wish they would put more sauce on the inside and add a little more flavor to it. I found it a bit on the bland side. Next time I'll try some of their spicier yogurt sauces. Also next time I'll order mom the loaded fries. I didn't know she was such a big fan of fries.

Steak plate with fries and truffle rice
Alex K.

Ordered a Plate with the Steak, Truffle Rice, & Fries options for $21, only to get home and find 6 measly pieces of steak in this sea of rice, what is this? Chipotle?

Protein bowl with extra beef.

Updated from 5 3 months ago. Takeout. Food still excellent BUT: 1. Ordering online on an iPhone took 15 minutes. Why? You need to turn phone sideways to place order. We are computer professionals. 2. Ordered 4 dipping sauces, got 0. Check your order before leaving. 3. Charged $1 for fries. There were NO FRIES.

That's online receipt, I didn't took a photo of the food.

I ordered thru website for pickup Truffle Harvest with protein choices of chicken shawarma and grilled steak + hummus on side. The grilled steak was so hard to chew, it was almost impossible, I couldn't even eat 2 pieces of it, had throw it away. Chicken meat is okay, nothing fancy or wrong. I liked how they add grilled veggies on side, their hummus was ok as well. In general, that's not a good Mediterranean place to go. I'd rather definitely go somewhere else next time. Servers were with good attitude, but the food is just okay, maybe less than okay... I will include the online receipt below. Order number was : 662624097, name is Leo. Hope this is gonna serve as a proof of my authentic review.

San Diego Wrap
Gina G.

I finally had the opportunity to try the Kebab Shop, this location in Walnut Creek. I have heard so many great things about this biz and was so excited at the opportunity to give it a-go. A few things stood out to me while there. I love that the menu is visual and shares what items will already be in a bowl and what items you can add additionally or for a small fee. Essentially you choose a base, fillings, and protein. I also love the family-owned feels and the complimentary sauce bar..if there's one thing this girl loves, it's her sauces! You can have the option of O.G. yogurt, fire chili, cilantro-jalapeño, or dill yogurt. There are also sides & salad options, as well as yummy protein options including carved chicken and chickpea falafels. I chose a wrap on the 'famous' charred flatbread. It was SO good and also SO big. See picture below but literally my entire forearm. I can see why this flatbread is instagrammable, it's literally delicious but also quite sizable. I wanted to try something unique and ordered the San Diego wrap (comes with feta and fries) and my husband did a gyro bowl with saffron rice and added pita crumbles. We also did a side hummus and pita, and side cranberry kale salad. Honestly, everything was stellar. Service was fast and efficient, and the WC location was super clean. Would def come back to try more offerings if I'm in the area again. An overall great fast-casual experience.

Look how small and dingy this is missing about $5-6 of the stuff I paid for and never received

Ok. I am sooooo sad to even write this but I've noticed the past few times of coming here the food portions have DECREASED DRASTICALLY. This is NOT OK! The price we pay.....the plate of food I order should not be half the size of the plate. When I first came here I would order the wrap and literally pay extra for stuff but they charge 1.50 per extra ya want then when I got my wrap it was like 2 French fries for 1.50. Tablespoon of rice or hummus when you pay $1.50 per extra add on. This is not ok and they fixed it bc I would walk it and they noticed me. But sadly I can't keep coming here for the price they charge and the amount of food they give and I hear this is what they are told to do. They say they can only give a certain portion and it's Just not worth it anymore to me. Hopefully your company changes and actually give people the amount they deserve in which they paid. I do wish TKS would bottle there OG yogurt bc I would buy it but bc of the cost and the decrease amount in food I can't eat here anymore.

San Diego Wrap

This place is amazing! Such great food! The place is clean and well decorated/organized. Bathroom sign is right on point: we're neat freaks, so let us know... Best of all, the workers are super nice and helpful. They're the politest workers that's ever served me! Definitely a go to!

The food and service were excellent! Tried many different Greek foods from appetizers to dessert…read more Beautifully presented and delicious. The atmosphere was so calming. It was a reunion luncheon and the two of us were at the restaurant reminiscing and catching up for several hours! Service was great and they were so kind to allow us to continue our visit with minimal disruption except to serve food or ask if we needed anything else. Will go back again

MORAL OF THE STORY: Rude & clueless staff, especially the bartender…read more 10/26/26: I went here with my cousin who was visiting out of state, she's 22 and I'm 21. We just wanted a drink because we had heard about the good reviews on this restaurant. We walked inside, asked to sit at a bar & got asked to show our ID's and so we did and got seated at a bar. Then the bartender asked to provide our ID's AGAIN & he walked off with them. He had our ID's for 10 minutes (maybe more) and had 2-3 other people crowding around him. He later came up to us & said he is not able to serve both of us because he couldn't tell if my cousin's ID is real or fake, even the other employees were STRUGGLING to read an out of state ID. He had explained to us how a customer came in with a fake id recently and got too drunk & cops had to be involved so he is not trying to make that same mistake with my cousin. We had tried asking him for other options & even said she had a photo scan of her passport but he said he isn't able to check it either. Another 10 minutes pass and no one approaches us, we get the attention of some manager looking guy to try and get her ID checked one more time but he said "If the bartender said he can't, then he is not gonna serve you guys". We get the bartender's attention once again & we begged him to check one more time because we really wanted a good experience and a fun night. He cut us off & said "I would love to serve you guys & I don't want to lose money" and some fat blonde lady with an accent who works there was about to talk back to us but I interrupted them both & said "Well you're losing money" and left with my cousin INSANELY upset & disappointed. It was her last night here before she had to fly back home to vegas. We later went to Stereo41 where the Bartender was actually smart & said my cousin's ID is real & served us drinks. Shame that our first AND last time was disappointing.

4.8/5 This is…read moreauthentic Persian food that you cannot find anywhere, and this is coming from someone who is from Los Angeles (Tehrangeles). The standout is truly the Jujeh sultani where you can try both chicken and ground beef kebab. Get the chicken thigh because it's jucier! This entree in particular is the best meal I've ever had in Walnut Creek downtown, and this is coming from someone who has tried every restaurant here. Excellent service and ambience. I could eat this meal once a week.

Daryoush - Walnut Creek Date: October 23, 2026…read more My cousin and I had both been to Daryoush's Berkeley location before it closed in 2024, so we were excited to try the Walnut Creek location for the first time. They offer lunch specials Monday through Friday from 11am-4pm, except on holidays. The menu features a variety of Persian dishes, with prices ranging from $16.95 to $19.95. Each lunch special comes with rice, salad, and a drink. My cousin and I each ordered a lunch special for $19.95. Bakhtiari Kabob ($19.95) - One skewer of marinated filet mignon and chicken thigh. Shrimp Kabob ($19.95) - One skewer of marinated tiger shrimp with grilled onion and green peppers. Both meals came with half rice and half salad, along with a drink. The kabobs were delicious, and the portions were huge! We shared both dishes so we could try a little of everything. We also ordered Must-o-Khiar ($12), a Persian yogurt dip made with yogurt, chopped cucumbers, and mint. The yogurt was thick and creamy, and the complimentary lavash bread was perfect for dipping. A large piece of raw onion was served on the plate with butter, and we weren't sure what it was for. Our waiter explained that some customers cut the onion and wrap it in lavash bread with butter. He also mentioned that some customers don't like having raw onion on the table and kindly offered to remove it. We gladly accepted! For dessert, we ordered Makhloot ($12), a combination of half Persian ice cream and half Faludeh Shirazi. The Persian ice cream is homemade with saffron, pistachios, and rose water. Faludeh Shirazi is a refreshing Persian dessert made with icy rice noodles flavored with rose water. We enjoyed trying both desserts together. It was a nice way to finish our meal! Overall, we had a great lunch at Daryoush. The kabobs were delicious, the portions were generous, and the lunch-special prices were reasonable. I noticed that many tables were ordering from the lunch-special menu, which offers plenty of choices. We would definitely come back to try some of the other lunch specials!
