User Reviews for Caspian Grill Persian Cuisine

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

03/08/2009 Posted by Sheilometer

I love this place. The service is friendly, and the food is great. I grew up with my grandmother's Persian food and this restaurant takes me back to being seven years old. The khoobideh kabob is spiced just right, the rice is buttery and fluffy, the geimeh has the right amount of lemon and the portions are truly Persian. You will never leave hungry. The only criticism I would have is that the atmosphere feels a little cold. A bit more adornment to the walls would be nice. Even if you are a vegetarian, there is good foor for you. Try the Shirin Polo (sweet rice) or the geimeh badamjoon (eggplant stew) and you won't be disappointed. Truly. I've eaten here for years and never been disappointed once.

Pros: Great food, belly dancing on some weekends, great service

Cons: ambiance, a little pricey

I had eaten some amazing vegetarian persian food in Cleveland, OH. I was excited to see this place in Seattle serving persian food and it had 4+ stars and so I decided to check it out. Their bread was so-so - cold and hard. The waiter told us that that's the way its supposed to be. I kind of disagree that any cuisine calls for cold, hard bread. I cannot comment about the kebabs and other meat dishes since I am a vegetarian. The vegetarian dishes were okay. The salad was hideous - too much vinegar. Eggplant dishes were not very bad but not great either. I can get a similar tasting canned Babagannoush . Serving portions are large. Basmati rice was awesome. If you are a vegetarian, you're better off avoiding this place.

Pros: Location and street parking

Cons: Vey average middle-eastern food
