Caspian Bistro and Gourmet Marketplace is a family-run Persian restaurant and grocery store that has been a local favorite since 1987. The store offers a wide selection of Persian groceries, sweets, teas, cheeses, and spices, complementing the restaurant's menu of warm soups, breads, and grilled kebabs. The restaurant is known for its friendly service, clean environment, and ample parking, providing a comfortable dining experience for its diverse clientele.
The menu features popular dishes like Koobideh kabob, Barg kabob, and chicken boneless joojeh kabob, as well as traditional sides like kashkoo-badmjune (eggplant dip) and shirazi salad. The Persian yogurt drink, doogh, is also highly praised. Customers have consistently praised the authentic and flavorful dishes, with the Chelou Kabab Koubideh and Chicken Soltani being crowd favorites. While the shish kabob may not have traveled well, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, with the restaurant being a hidden gem that customers have returned to for years.
