Alborz

Why choose Alborz

Alborz is the practical central choice when the group specifically wants Persian or Middle Eastern food rather than another Thai or Western meal. Tripadvisor, SoiDB and Restaurant Guru all identify the restaurant around Soi Pattaya 12 near Beach Road. Restaurant Guru’s page was updated in March 2026 and carries recent review activity, making this a much stronger live-venue trail than the old OpenStreetMap record by itself.

The recommendation is targeted: choose Alborz for Persian cooking and a central location; skip it if the group wants a polished fine-dining setting or if nobody can confirm a crucial accessibility or delivery detail. The listings are useful, but the restaurant has not claimed its Tripadvisor page and its contact records are not completely consistent.

What the sources say about the food

Restaurant Guru describes the menu as Persian and Middle Eastern and indexes mentions of stew, meat and kebabs. Tripadvisor uses a wider set of categories, including Indian, Middle Eastern, Persian, Israeli and Arabic. SoiDB keeps the description simpler with “Middle East Cuisine.” Taken together, Persian and Middle Eastern is the defensible headline; it would be misleading to promise a particular dish or dietary certification without a current operator menu.

No price is quoted here. Restaurant Guru displays an estimated spend, but a current operator menu was not available to cross-check it. Check the menu before ordering rather than treating a third-party range as a fixed bill.

Hours, services and access

Restaurant Guru lists 10:00–22:00 every day, plus delivery, takeaway, booking and wheelchair access. Neither Tripadvisor nor SoiDB publishes an alternative schedule, so there is no direct hours conflict, but there is also no operator page confirming it. Recheck before a late visit and call ahead when wheelchair access or a timed collection matters.

Recent directory activity is encouraging rather than conclusive. A listing can lag operational changes. For a casual lunch in central Pattaya, the evidence is sufficient to put Alborz on a shortlist. For a group booking or a last seating near 22:00, make contact first.

The contact conflict

Two sources, Tripadvisor and Restaurant Guru, show +66 38 414 142. SoiDB lists 038 427 577. The postcode also differs: Tripadvisor prints 20150, while the map-derived address resolves to 20210. Both location descriptions still point to Soi Pattaya 12 near Beach Road.

Use the OpenStreetMap pin for navigation and treat the telephone numbers as competing records. Trying the number repeated by two sources is reasonable, but it should not be described as operator-verified. This is precisely the sort of small conflict worth seeing before relying on a booking.

Planning the visit

Soi Pattaya 12 is the stable location clue. Match the restaurant name at the pin before entering, particularly because central Pattaya has dense frontage and directory addresses can be abbreviated. If ordering for a dietary requirement, ask the restaurant directly about ingredients and kitchen handling; cuisine labels are not allergy guidance.

Alborz suits diners who have chosen the cuisine first and want it near Beach Road. It is less compelling as a random walk-in when the group has no preference, because its best reason to visit is the Persian focus. The concrete plan is to use the map pin, try +66 38 414 142 for confirmation, and keep the SoiDB number as a secondary lead.
