Kabob House — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

Kabob House is nestled inside of a quiet little shopping center. At the corner of South Broadway and Newell. I walked in right as they opened at 11:30am to order some food to go. The restaurant was setup for take out. Even with most of the tables put up the ambiance of the place was still very relaxing. There was some light guitar music playing as I took my time deciding what to order.

The lady (Zora) was very friendly and helpful as I waffled between my order. I went with the lunch Chello Kabob Koobideh platter, Chicken Kabob platter, Khoresht-e-Gheymeh, and Baklava.

I mentioned how the Khoresht-e-Gheymeh was going to be my dinner for later. She offered to have it stored cold that way I could keep it refrigerated in the meantime instead of walking back with hot stew that might not be good later in the evening. How very considerate!

While waiting for my order to come up two other people came in for a pickup. Otherwise it was not full or busy on a Tuesday around 11:30am.

The food was arranged beautifully inside some of the nicest eco friendly containers I have seen. The beef and chicken kabobs were a hit at lunch. They came complete with rice, hummus, flatbread and some vegetables and the yogurt sauce. The baklava was so good that we ate it and didn’t have any left over for dinner 🥺.

The Khoresht-e-Gheymeh was delicious after a quick round in the microwave. It was hearty and filling. Very much comfort food.

All in all, I would recommend and will definitely...

We were invited to Kabob House by a friend. 5 of us were greeted by the young lady who was obviously very kind. Then we were greeted by the chef who made awesome food. The food was exceptionally delicious. Barley soup was out of this world reminded me of my grandma's soup. My friend and I had Jujeh with bone, very tender, plenty, and tasty beautiful salad and grilled veggies by our request. The men in our group had, jujeh without bone and soltani (beef tender and ground beef kabob). They were just having a blast with their food, it seemed like since none were willing to talk. We were full but couldn't leave without trying the Baghlava and tea. Again the tea was perfectly brewed and baghlava yaammm!!!! All together, we had a great time. I don't want to forget, the appetizers yogurt dishes were all excellent choices. I found a place to take friends and family to with pride. Apparently this is a family ran business and I will be supporting their business in...

If you haven’t tried Persian food yet, this is the place! Note that it is take-out only.

The lamb shank was rich and delicious, served with saffron basmati rice cooked with fava beans and dill. Who knew that dill, fave beans and rice could be so delicious?!

We also had fesenjan, a swee and tangy sauce made with walnuts, pomegranate (and I think maybe included rose water?) It had a delicate flavor unlike anything I’ve ever had, and was just the right amount of sweetness.

For dessert, we split an order of the most beautiful and amazing baklava garnished with ground pistachios.

Normally, I document with photos but it looked so good we could not...
