“ The food was bussin fr fr! The meat was delicious , atmosphere was great, overall a get place and a bit of a hidden gem. ”

“ Great place. Love the atmosphere and the setup. Got the Kobede kabab with checked breast skewer. Authentic and delicious. Would visit again. Owner very welcoming and friendly. It's great to see an owner running his business rather than letting employees run the business down. ”

“ Great Persian restaurant overall adjacent to its own middle eastern little market. All sized appropriately for the foreign based demographic in Minneapolis. But had been there since 1987. Very impressive to have lasted that long and remained true to its roots. I have basically visited persian restaurants all my life and in almost every city I have visited if there was one, worldwide. Always, excited to try them and support them as well. I like my Vaziri dish which had the best all 3 worlds! Koobideh kabob, Barg kabob, and chicken boneless joojeh kabob with basmati rice. Small side salad served with it. Although, as part of my desire and tradition, I ordered the kashkoo-badmjune (eggplant dip) and shirazi salad along with the home made smooth tasty doogh (famous persian yogurt drink). I enjoyed the entire experience. But the two meat kabobs were better than the chicken. As the chicken could use more seasoning and much more better saffron based coloring. The doogh was very good. Service was polite and nice but very slow as the same person is multitasking endlessly. Enjoyed seeing locals, young, old, family or couples with various ethnicity enjoying themselves. ”

“ This review is for the marketplace only. Lots of interesting food items in a small space: canned/jarred peppers and eggplant; grape leaves, cookies, grains, spices, candies, a huge selection of teas, and a bakery case filled with baklava and other pastries. The best part, though, was the proprietor, who was helping the customer in front of me who'd never been there before. He patiently explained what all the pastries were and was completely charming. I didn't mind the wait because he was so positive and kind. ”

“ Visited Caspian for dinner and was amazed by the great quality of meats they have. We originally intended to order a different cut but it was not available so we went for sultan as it was the closest. The meat was nice and tender, very tasty and rice was on point. The meat, I could tell, was high quality. It's appears like a simple meal to the eye but once you take the first bite you'll realize the amazing quality! I also ordered the rose water lemonade and it was so refreshing. Service was a bit slow, ambience is laid back with a fancy twist. There's a store attached to the restaurant too, worth to check out for middle eastern/Persian goods! ”
