“ Fresh food excellent food, hot bread and the service is also good The original Iranian food just like home cooking ”

“ Okay, so Café Caspian is seriously one of the coolest restaurants! My family took me here for dinner, and everything was so good, but I HAVE to talk about the saffron ice cream. First of all, it looks awesome. It's really creamy and has this unique flavor that's hard to describe--it's kinda floral but sweet at the same time. I never had ice cream like this before. It's not like the stuff you get at the grocery store; it feels special and homemade. I didn't even want to share it with my family because it was THAT good. If you go to Café Caspian, you HAVE to try the saffron ice cream. Trust me, it's worth it! The whole place is really nice, and the food is great, but that ice cream was definitely my favorite part. ”

“ You can count on silky smooth hummus and really good naan. The salmon and shrimp were very flavorful! You'll leave this place happy and quite full! Service was great, ambiance was nice, there also a ton of parking. ”

“ This place has been here forever, and it has been consistently great the entire time. The service is prompt, efficient and courteous. The ambiance is casual, not too fancy. Well appointed Persian decorations abound, a classic Persian restaurant. The food has been consistently good for the 20+ years my family has been visiting this establishment. They bring you pita and feta cheese with radish, onions, and fresh herbs when you sit down. We ordered hummus and then koobideh, perfect amount of char, juicy tasty. No complaints, great bang for buck. Check it out! ”

“ Delicious food!! My in laws always need to come here for dinner whenever they are in town. My wife always celebrated her birthday here. She loves loobya (green bean stew) with dill rice. I always get beef koobideh. The ambiance is wonderful too. I'm not much for taking pictures but just look at the picture others took of this place, it's beautiful. The bread they give you complimentary is fresh, hot, made in store and so good. ”

“ This is on my short list of favorite spots in Houston, and probably my first choice if you ask where I want to go tonight. (The only way to improve it would be to move it closer to me.) The dolmas are different than dolmas or grape leaves from other places. They're warm and have a taste of mint in them. Even friends who tell me they done like grape leaves compliment the dolmas here. I like that we can get dishes that you don't find at other Mediterranean places; that's because this is a Persian restaurant. The stews are terrific. My favorite is fesenjan. If I went more frequently then I would get to order other dishes. As it is, I know the other items are delicious from bites that we share from our different orders. Every experience I've ever had there has been great. The people there are warm and friendly. And the warm pita and feta and greens that come with every meal are welcome. The other fabulous thing about Caspian Cafe is the decor is fabulous. If you want to impress your date or your family, this is a wonderful place for that. ”

“ We came here with our friend Daniel, and it was wonderful! It was our first time trying Persian food, and we loved it! The service was great, and the atmosphere was gorgeous. It's a beautiful restaurant! To start, we got flat bread and a the Shirazi salad and the sabzi khordan. Both were good, I preferred the freshness of the shirazi salad. We also got the grand sampler, and we tried the kashik-e bademjan (an eggplant dip), mast-o khyar (a cucumber yogurt dip) and the mast-o moosir (a shallot yogurt dip). Of those- our favorite was by far the Kashik-e bademjan. It had this incredible savory unique flavor! Next we had our main meal. We tried three kinds of rice and a few kabobs. The rice we had was the javaher polow, the polow, and the sabzi polow. They were all excellent! My favorite was probably the polow. We had the beef koobideh, beef barg, and a chicken one as well. We loved the koobideh and the barg the most! The barg tasted like a really nice steak, and the koobideh was a ground beef with plenty of delicious spices. To finish out, we had some tea and the saffron and rose water ice cream. They were delicious! We also had the baklava. My favorite was the ice cream. It was delicious! This place was excellent, and we loved to try a new place! We will be back. ”

“ We were visiting our mother in Houston, and she highly recommended this place for lunch... and also mentioned that she is a regular here. Just before heading out this way, some additional out of town guests showed up and joined in.... good for us as we knew we'd be able to try more dishes! So, this place is a very nice and impressive, open, and spacious classy casual Persian character restaurant.... looked expensive off the bat, but for the quality of ambiance, delicious Persian food, and excellent service, it's definitely worth the experience. Considering all this, the prices were surprisingly reasonable.... especially when compared to the Persian food prices in California. For appetizers, we started off with orders of freshly oven baked regular and sesame Persian flatbreads, which you can actually see being freshly made from the dining area, and they were absolutely delicious. To go along with the flatbread, we ordered some hummus, mast-o-khiyar ......cubes of chopped cucumber with yogurt, tabouleh.... basically minced parsley, sabri khordan.... basically chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese mixed with herbs. The flatbreads went amazing well with all these... definite must tries!..... and none were salty at all, like many other Persian places I'd tried in the past. For our mains, we ordered a combination of skewered and other meats like cubed, with bone, and ground chicken, ground beef, salmon, and lamb chops.... along with this, we ordered a dill rice, regular saffron rice, and one called Javaher Polow..... an exotic mixture of cranberries, almonds, pistachios, carrots, orange peel, and sour barberries. I'm not much of a rice person, but I got to try a bit of each, and they all tasted amazing... so fresh, so soft, so fluffy, so fragrant .... with the latter having such a wonderful blend of textures and flavors that went so well with the meats and condiments. Ok, so I don't eat beef or lamb, but everyone else said they tasted wonderfully delicious. I enjoyed the salmon and chicken... so fresh, perfectly prepared, and not too salty at all. Everything ordered... that I got to try... was great! And then to top everything off at the end, we ordered the Bastani Sonnati.... saffron ice cream.... made with saffron, pistachios, and rosewater.....I don't eat dairy, but it sure looked like everyone else thoroughly enjoyed it very much.... it looked very sweet, though. Overall, it was a very nice first-time dining experience here.... enjoyed the food very much, in a very pleasant, clean, and interesting environment, with excellent attentive service. ”

“ Love it! On the west side but worth the drive. Traditional Persian food made delicious for all tastes. I loved the chicken and I rarely eat meat. Adore the fresh bread and eggplant dip. So many things to try! Atmosphere is beautiful with an enormous traditional samovar and other decor. Owners are lovely hosts. ”
