Super Tehran

Great bread, nice people and high quality selections. I have never been disappointed with any products.

The cleanest Persian market in the Bay Area! Loved the fresh bread and cheese!!! Very nice people too!

Super Tehran is one of the best store in Concord. The Store is Super clean the food and Naan are so delicious. They are Super Friendly very nice Customer. I want to thanks them for that.

Very good costumer service with very friendly Owners.
I wish we could still have those pre made Kabobs!

Such a great little shop with warm and friendly owners and staff. Lots of selection for its size and great prices! Happy to have moved into an a area with a great Persian store around!

Oh how I wish I had found this wonderful shop sooner! The other Persian markets I’ve tried in the East Bay have had limited selections and/​or stale food and/​or have just been unappealingly dingy. This one gets everything right: it’s the size of a closet but spotless and neat and packed with an unbelievable assortment of the best brands of Persian groceries. The staff is very kind and helpful. They even have a kitchen in the back and make sangak bread. I bought some hot out of the oven — absolute heaven!

The owner is nice and their products are fresh and high quality. The price is fair as well.

very nice place. very well put together. between this store and the other middleeastern shop two doors down. both offer a nice variety of teas, spices, cookware, and everyday items.

This store is so clean and tidy. The owner is very helpful and friendly. They have a wide variety of spices and sweets. The Pita bread is not as good as the ones I have bought at the Farmers Market in Concord. We bought baklava, falouda, sesame sweet, and turkish coffee, and they were all so good.

this is the cleanest and best persian market in the BAY AREA & they are very nice people

On our way to the bar we stopped in at Super Tehran and few were introduced into the world of Persian food. The two gentlemen inside the store were so nice and so helpful. My wife found some cucumber’s for a dollar and I asked about a pastry and one of the guys grabbed one out and gave it to me for free. It was pretty good I just don’t know what it was called.
We will definitely be coming back here in the near future.

HAPPY PERSIAN NEW YEAR!
We stopped at Super T on Saint Patrick’s Day because there was a huge crowd in the parking lot. Lots of smiles and laughter… and food! They were giving away free food samples but the line was very long. We waited for a little bit then headed for tacos next door. Ultimately we were waiting for Milo’s Bar to open in the same parking lot.
When we returned to Milo’s this weekend, we stopped in here and asked what the celebration was all about; we were told it had been the Persian New Year. Husband and I walked around the packed store and I purchased a bag of cucumbers (little baby ones). It was a pretty big bag for $ 0.99. (Washed them at home and they were very crunchy and fresh.) As we were walking out of the store, husband started eyeballing the baked pastries behind the counter.
They were sitting next to dates and he asked what one was. The man behind the counter gave him a sample (sweet!) and another employee described what they were made of. I’m told they were very good. Will have to buy some when we go back to buy some bread on our next visit. (Wish we’d seen the bread when we were there! Now I know about it though, Thanks, Unilocal!)

Tried the sangak bread. So good! Chewy and light!

Small selection of groceries, but you can buy fresh baked sangak which will last you a long time.
It’s also the only place I’ve been able to find custard piroshkis in the Bay Area. San Francisco can suck it.

Pricier than its kind in SoCal but is definitely worth to check out

Don’t let this little store fool you! It might be small but they’ve got everything Middle Eastern that your heart desires. They even have a few European goodies. Couple things to keep in mind before going, 1) you can’t be over weight when entering this store, the isles are very narrow, and 2) they only take credit cards if you spend more than $ 10.

Considering the scarce supply of Middle Eastern specialty stores in the central Contra Costa County area (Super Tehran, International Foods right next door, and Sunvalley Market in Walnut Creek), beggers can’t be choosers.
That said, Super Tehran comes out the best of the 3. If you want Persian products, then I think this is your ONLY choice in central county.
The Good News: They have an ample supply of Persian and general Middle Eastern delicacies. Tahini? Dried figs? Halva? Afghan bread? Special spices and seasonings packets? They’re got most of it.
The Bad News: Their customer service sensibilities need to be westernized a bit before they will gain general acceptance among westerners. (When in Rome, do as the Romans do… This is a hint.)
The Mitigating News: Considering the competition, you will probably be treated better at Super Tehran than at the other two places.
The Disappointing News: Looking for Greek, Italian, Kosher, or Armenian products? Forget about it!

Quite interesting. unassuming… in a mess of a teency strip mall just above the intersection of Monument/​Oak Grove. 3 shoddy and unkempt places.
But I found a quicky stop for Persian comestibles! The last 4 – 5 books that I’ve plowed through have been about Iran — its history (incl people groups of Hazaras, Azeris, Turks, Azerbaijanis), Hafez and the national love for poetry, and Shia Islam and the 12 Imams. The issues of theocracy, Evin prison, etc. are clearer to me now (I even wrote a handwritten letter to Ahmadinejad to please release the hikers!). I wanted to step into this world a bit more personally.
Nothing at all like Zand’s on Solano in posh Albany, but I appreciated seeing the homemade dishes for warming later. Everything here speaks ‘down-​home’.
Bought some barbari bread (nan-​e barbari): a Persian flatbread (this is also sold at Berkeley Bowl West). Quite different from the Afghani bolani, and VERY different from the Armenian flatbreads I’ve had. Took my time to try and recognize in real life all that I read in 2 dimensional land… what a trip!

A must go if you like Persian foods, spices, goodies. I frequent both this store and the Afghan store 2 doors down which is just as nice, and a bit lager. They both have everything you need for a Persian household plus fresh flatbread to die for.
Go buy yourself a bread, tand the shallot yogurt (mast o moosir), and eat up. I cut up the bread in squares and freez to toast later as needed.

Nice Persian stuff. Anything you might need to cook Iranian food. I’ll be stopping by here whenever I need supplies! Mamnun!
