Alborz Restaurant

Syed Abbas

A good Persian restaurant in walnut creek serving authentic, tasty, and hearty Persian dishes. The minute you walk in the door, the ambience puts you in a Persian state of mind. The menu is short yet covers the gamut of the important Persian dishes. We started with a combo platter which allowed us to sample a few of the appetizers on the menu in one plate. The main dishes consist of a combination of skewered kababs, saffron rice, and my favorite, the lamb shank stew among other Persian mainstays. We ordered a combination of the Ghormeh Sabzi (lamb shank stew with vegetables) and kabobs. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender with fluffy saffron rice. The kabobs were tender, succulent, and juicy. I ordered tea with my meal which was a light complement to the heavy meal. Overall, the food was good, however, the service was slow and can certainly use a boost.

The food is pretty good compared to other Persian restaurants in the Bay Area. They make a juicy koobideh which is a hard art to master. The food quality is good, it tastes great and when you ask for a medium rare barg, that’s what you get! You can see from the comments that the service requires attention. The wait time is long and requests get forgotten. The service team seem very nice, polite and friendly. It just seems they need some better training. I’d do some work with the interior of the restaurant, it seems a bit “dated” as we say in Australia. It wasn’t my first visit but probably my last for a long time. I hope they heed the feedback and do a bit better.

So rude! Worst customer service I've ever seen!! They seated us, and we waited for 20 minutes at the table and no one came to take our orders. We called the waitress and told her we were ready to order and she just said OK with the weirdest attitude and left, we again waited 10 min and she never came back. Then we went to another waiter and asked if they can help us, and he said "I'm too busy"with a very rude tone, and at that point we just left the restaurant after 40 min of waiting. They could have told us from the beginning they couldn't serve us but they decided to waste our time and be super rude to their guests. No apologies for keeping us waiting, and no informing us about the wait. The same thing happened to people on two other tables, and we saw them leaving too without being served!! Such a terrible experience, will never go back to this place.

The food was amazing and the decor is beautiful! We had fresh bread with herbs, tahdig with fesenjoon and gheyme bademjoon(not in pictures), baghale polo with lamb shank, home made doogh, faloode shirazi and Saffron ice cream. Outdoor seating is lovely with a small fountain. The only thing I would suggest is an upgrade to the bathroom design.
