October 2025
Cafe Caspian is easily one of the best Persian restaurants in Houston! The food is absolutely delicious — every dish is packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. The kabob koobideh was tender and juicy, the ghormeh sabzi was rich and aromatic, and the tahdig (crispy rice) was golden perfection.

What really makes Cafe Caspian special is Max, the owner. He treats every guest like family and clearly takes pride in sharing Persian culture and hospitality....
