Walnut Creek Residents Are Fascinated by the New Turkish Eatery in Town
PiddeG, a new fast-casual Mediterranean eatery, has recently opened its doors at 2979 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek, California. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience, with diners ordering at a counter and their food being prepared quickly using premium ingredients and clever toppings.
The culinary concept at PiddeG revolves around bringing bold, modern Turkish flavors to Walnut Creek in an approachable way. The menu is diverse, featuring Turkish-inspired flatbreads and bowls, such as the namesake pidde flatbread. In addition to pides, guests can enjoy thin lahmacun "Turkish pizza," build-your-own wraps, plates and bowls, and classic mezes like dolmas, hummus, and falafel.
For those with a sweet tooth, PiddeG offers an array of Mediterranean desserts, including assorted baklava, Turkish delight, and kunefe (a sweet cheese pastry). The restaurant's desserts have received praise from patrons like Judy M. of Northgate, who found a free sample of baklava to be delicious, and Petya B., who praised the outstanding baklava.
The stone-oven tradition carries through at PiddeG, with each flatbread baked fresh in the open kitchen. This method ensures a crispy, flavourful base for the various toppings available, including spiced ground beef, lamb doner, Turkish sausage (sujuk), and vegetarian options.
The modern, minimalist interior of PiddeG, with light wood tables, terrazzo or tiled floors, and a centerpiece stone oven, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is described as family-friendly by Cady M., who also noted the friendly staff and large portions. Even young diners, like Diana H.'s 3-year-old granddaughter, have enjoyed their meals at PiddeG.
Asma A. from Paddock Hills explained that the name "PiddeG" comes from "pide," a type of Turkish bread. The chef at PiddeG has won 'Best of the East Bay' several times, as mentioned by Cady M. of Downtown Walnut Creek.
The overall community response to PiddeG has been positive, with many praising the quality and presentation of the food. For Asma, the food at PiddeG reminded her of her trip to Istanbul. PiddeG offers delivery through its app with a 20% discount on first orders, making it an accessible option for those who prefer dining at home.
PiddeG also boasts a small patio area for al fresco dining, located in the Encina Grande Shopping Center. Whether you're looking for a quick, delicious meal or a leisurely dining experience, PiddeG is a great addition to Walnut Creek's culinary scene.
