Good place. Family run and great people. Food is generally very good. I would recommend it for sure. The brothers are fantastic people and what's needed to take care of you.
Excellent food and service and portions were just right. We enjoyed the variety of food offered on the menu and our biggest problem was trying to narrow down what we wanted for our lunch.
I went to Caspian for lunch and ordered special joje kebob and koobideh. The food was very good. I also really liked the atmosphere with carpet painting and mosaics. The waitress and the owner were also very friendly and respectful.
I ordered a bean with beef stew (Ghormeh?) and a yogurt drink. The drink didn't hit the mark for me. But I rather liked the stew dish. It had very complex flavors. I appreciate the waiter's suggestion of these two, although I chuckled inside a little bit when he seemed to think that I was not an experienced foodie.
I love this place. The owners are so welcoming and so involved with their customers. The ambiance is so inviting and I love dining there when it's full at dinner time, warm, happy and hungry people talking, music playing. The food is very good, and there are vegetarian options! The appetizers are cheap and affordable (college student) but a big portion. I love the store they have attached, lots of products that you can't find elsewhere.
Excellent food, staff, ambiance and service. Our group had a bunch of dishes to share family style. Everything was delicious, hot, fresh and generous portions. We will be back!
This family owned restaurant/convenience store is amazing! The humus and naan bread were some of the best we’ve had so far. Tenderloin skewer with rice was also really good+seasoned well. I like spice in my food and the owner was so kind to go out of his way to make a spicy sauce for us. Highly recommend!
WOW - simply delicious and fantastic service. Both of our servers were SO kind, thoughtful, cheerful, and attentive. The food was phenomenal. My colleague and I are on a work trip and have been having the worst time finding good food; Caspian Bistro blew us out of the water. Everything was fresh and warm, the rice was cooked perfectly (of course), the guava juice was to DIE for, and it was some of the best hummus I’ve tasted. We ate until we thought we would die and still have SO much food left to bring to work tomorrow. Easily the best restaurant I’ve been to in ages. The interior decorating is also very charming!

Absolutely incredible food and atmosphere. With an outdoor patio, grocery section, and tons of art lining the walls, you will feel transported during your dining experience. The food was as beautifully presented as it was delicious; I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I will say, the falafel were somewhat spongy and seemed reheated. I’m not sure if that texture was intentional. But everything else from the kebab to the gheimeh was spectacular.
My only other gripe is that it took more than 15 minutes to get our check, seemingly due to a lack of staff. We were waiting to get going and were not really being noticed. Eventually we went to the front counter to pay.
Nevertheless, Caspian Bistro is a staple Persian restaurant, one of if not the best in the area, and for good reason has been there for years. We tried a broad selection of the menu and nothing disappoints. A bit pricey, but given the quality and atmosphere, I feel you can’t go wrong treating yourself here with friends and family.
Goodness the kabobs! Omgoodness. My firm belief still holds. No one knows how to do meat quite like the Persians. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. However, I must say, that the highlight of the meal for me was the tart cherry tea. It blew my mind and I will be coming back for more of it and the kabobs soon!
The store is great. So many different things. The restaurant was very good. We didn't care to much for our food but that was on is not them. We like trying new things. The white drink was to salty for us.
This place is amazing. As someone who never had Persian food my first experience was exceptional. I came with my friend who had experience with the food and markets. We were equally impressed. The koubideh was fantastic. I couldn't even do the food justice by describing it. The staff were incredibly helpful in the market showing us a variety of options and almost all of the products are made in Iran. In many experience trying a new cultural food would be stressful but the waitress, hostess, staff all made it very clear, explained, and introduced the dishes.
