Diablo Review:

If you are a Persian-food fiend, you surely have been to one of Alborz’s sister restaurants in Berkeley or San Francisco. The new locale in Walnut Creek does not disappoint. Kabobs are perfectly grilled, juicy, and tender. Rice is light and fluffy. The kashk bodemjan, with its rich roasted eggplant, hint of mint, and fried onions, is the best we’ve eaten. Alborz’s menu is extensive, including Persian specialties such as koo koo sabzi, which is a vegetable-heavy egg dish that stirs fond childhood memories for those who grew up in Iran. If you are new to this cuisine, start with the combo platter; it has a delicious and surprisingly large selection, including dolmas, olives, kashk bodemjan, and koo koo sabzi, plus fresh herbs and feta cheese. Alborz’s ambience is warm and inviting, and includes elegant reminders of the homeland: brightly colored Persian rugs and a mural of the cityscape in Tabriz. Lunch and dinner daily.
