One of the best kept secrets
A small Mediterranean kitchen with a charcoal grill and a long memory.
Babalou's has been feeding downtown Walnut Creek from a corner of Bonanza Street for years — plates of kebab and rice for the lunch rush, shawerma wrapped to go, and platters for the table when there's time to linger. Everything is cooked to order, seasoned by hand, and served without ceremony.
Curbside pick-up is available, and there's a public parking lot directly across the street when you need a quick getaway.
