I was here last Sunday and got the rack of lamb and a glass of wine. The lamb was overcooked, the vegis were raw, and the garlic mashed potatoes were absolutely awful(no flavor, no substance like instant box potatoes). I didnt hate my meal and I'd love to come back, but for the price point I'd like a better attention to quality. I dinged down the atmosphere because a plastic tent is kind of a turnoff.The server that night was spectacular.
Silk Road in Walnut Creek offers a casual dining experience with a menu influenced by both Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. While they have some standard options like grilled chicken breast sandwiches, their strength lies in the flavorful kabobs and appetizers. You can expect dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and falafel alongside marinated skewers of chicken, beef, or lamb. I ordered the Greek Salad with Chicken kabab, it was healthy and light, but yet so delicious and filling. Truly a perfect choice for lunch on a sunny day. Overall, Silk Road seems like a solid choice for a relaxed meal with a focus on familiar flavors, from eastern Mediterranean flavors up to the middle eastern flavors.

I loved their lamb, but saw a roach in the restaurant. That's fine. But then when I got home there was a body hair on my lamb shank. 9/10 for the food. 2/10 for the vibe.

Paid Street parking. Patio seating available...however it could use major cleaning.Ok serviceFood took a while. However, it was well worth the wait.Large portionsAmazing flavorsReasonable pricesI recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.
The service was good. The food was good BUT they used processed meat. Let me explain. I got a gyros plate. I love lambs. The traditional and best way is to cook slices of meat on a skewer. Yes, slices, not compacted ground meat. It is unfortunate because it changes the taste.The bread was really good as well as the sauces.Is it really cheaper to get processed meat vs slices of meat? I wonder.

Waiter deliberately brought full meals instead of two side orders of mash potatoes and mac&cheese for little kids, then refused to fix this problem. Waiter was very rude. We were regulars there, now we wouldn’t go back.

We enjoy Mediterranean food and have found the Silk Road Restaurant to be one of our best. We live in the Santa Cruz Area but always stop for a meal when traveling. Their eggplant appetizer is just perfect. We enjoy the plate option instead of the sandwich. They provide the excellent ingredients, fresh and crisp vegetables, meat perfectly seasoned and cooked correctly, along with an excellent home made pita. There is always more than enough to fill our tummies. The drinks are always served as requested and at the correct temperature. Try this place once and like us you will be hooked.
I went today with my family. It was a special experience and I was happy that they have a gluten free option because it is difficult to find this option in other restaurants and they have halal meat. Everything was perfect. The service, food, place and cleanliness have become my favorite place. I will recommend it to my family and friends.

Wow!!! We had such a great experience there. Food was really awesome and staff were super friendly. Once owner found out we have drove a long way to get there, offered us two freshly made persian stew which tasted wonderful. Their main staff had also learnt to speak Farsi in a sweet way. Definitely recommend this great place!

Wow, so lucky I found this place! Food is awesome and the service to match. You can’t go wrong, everything I’ve ordered has been delicious!
Me and my team were very happy with the food!! It was delicious!! As suggested by staff, next time we'll ask for a "family" style service when we have 10 or more people. Delivery was on time and friendly. Thank you!I've yet to come to the restaurant so I can't comment on the atmosphere, but it looks wonderful on line.Vegetarian options: n/a
