Daryoush

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Daryoush!** Tonight, my husband, daughter, and I had dinner at Daryoush restaurant, and it was truly exceptional from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. But what really made the evening special was the **incredible service**. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were attentive, kind, and took such wonderful care of us throughout our meal. It’s rare these days to find service this thoughtful and warm. We didn’t get the names of the three people who served us, but each of them went above and beyond. The owner is very lucky to have such a fantastic team representing the restaurant. We’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend Daryoush to anyone looking for amazing food and even better hospitality!

Updated: my friend looked at the Persian ice cream but we ordered the wrong one. Bumping up to 5 stars. I went back 2 days later for lunch. Chicken wasn’t as juicy but still juicy enough for me to go back. Had the lamb chops too, it could use a tiny sprinkle of salt. Lunch deal is good. 1 star taken off because of the Icy rice dessert. We HATED it. I wish I could have sent it back but the guy didn’t come back until the entire thing melted. We each had one bite and didn’t touch it. It was just sweet syrup.! Other than that, the lamb shank (we got the top one with the eggplant) and the chicken kebab was AMAZING! So juicy and tender! Will order again. (We got the combo plate). The salad had a couple bad/old leaves but otherwise it was fine. The free flat bread at the beginning was good but I think they should just give 2 pieces per person not an entire stack. We went right when they opened at 11:30am on a Saturday and there were plenty of seats available.

Extremely delicious food. The dill and fava bean rice was incredible. Chicken and beef kebabs plus an appetizer plate is plenty for 2-3 people. The meat was so soft and juicy. Interior & ambience is nice, if average.

Daryoush - A Casual Introduction to Persian Cuisine Daryoush, a newly opened Persian restaurant in Walnut Creek, brings a variety of Persian flavors to its menu. While the food is good and slightly above average, it doesn’t stand out when compared to other Persian restaurants I’ve experienced. For those new to Persian cuisine or seeking to explore its flavors, it’s definitely worth a try. The service, while dedicated, leans more toward a casual, street-style vibe rather than a fine dining experience. If you're expecting the polished, upscale ambiance typical of Walnut Creek’s finer establishments, this might not meet your expectations. That said, the crew works hard, but the setting and service style may feel a bit informal for those accustomed to fine dining. The Server at one point when we arrived at the restaurant asked us to go out and stand outside. This was seen unprofessional and lack civic manners. I plan to revisit to explore more menu options, as there is potential, but I wouldn’t consider this a go-to spot for frequent dining. Overall, it’s a decent place for a casual meal and an introduction to Persian cuisine, though it may not satisfy those looking for a more refined experience.

This Persian restaurant has a nice variety of traditional kabobs and stews. I ordered the Sultani kabob (beef barg + koobideh) and it was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Service was quick, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the restroom: there’s only one for a lot of guests. It was clean but didn’t have paper towels. Hopefully they can improve this in the future. Parking is easy, either on the street or in the affordable lot across from the restaurant.

I came here for the first time for dinner and I was really impressed. The beef and chicken koobedieh was delicious as well as the hummus. Good customer service and the restaurant has a nice ambience. I'll definitely come back!
