New Afghan Eatery Unveiled in Concord: Long-Awaited Culinary Destination Debuts
Concord, California, is now home to a new dining experience, Mazza restaurant, serving traditional Afghan cuisine.
First reported on last year, the restaurant's opening was shrouded in mystery, with little information beyond its upcoming debut and the promises of steak and mocktails.
However, Mazza has now opened its doors, revealing a fascinating history and a diverse menu that brings Afghan and Mediterranean flavors to the Bay Area. According to its website, the restaurant was founded by two Afghan immigrants, who left their homeland after serving alongside the U.S. military and sought to share their cultural cuisine with the American public.
The menu at Mazza is filled with an array of appetizers such as Ashak dumplings, Bolani flatbread, and numerous kebab options. Main courses include classic rice dishes and a Karahi menu offering an assortment of lamb and chicken options. The steak menu features a 12-ounce ribeye, and for those hesitant to venture into the Afghan culinary realm, there are also burgers available.
Pricing is reasonable, with most menu items falling within the $14 to $15 range, and a simple beef burger priced at around $11. The restaurant's enthusiastic patrons have praised the food, the large space, and the generous portion sizes.
Price concerns have been raised regarding staffing on busy nights, but those who have visited on quieter evenings have applauded the hospitality from the chef-owners.
For those seeking to explore a new culinary adventure or have been in search of Afghan cuisine for some time, Mazza offers an exciting opportunity. The restaurant is located at 1985 Willow Pass Road in Concord and can be found online at mazzataste.com[1].
