I would give this establishment zero stars if possible. During our visit last Friday afternoon, my family and I were served food that was not fresh. As Persians, we have a deep appreciation for high-quality cuisine, and unfortunately, this meal did not meet our standards. The prices charged did not reflect the quality of the food or the service provided. Additionally, when we informed the staff that the food was not fresh and that the meat was served cold, our concerns were completely disregarded. This experience was highly disappointing. We strongly advise others to avoid this restaurant and instead choose a place that understands how to run a business professionally and handle customer concerns appropriately. read more

Great food quality, ambient, and hospitality. Our servant, Moses, was great and so energetic from the beginning to the end of our Sun lunch. Thanks Caspian read more

5 stars! Delicious, healthy food so tasty. Probably the best Persian food in the area by far!

The food was good, the service was good not like the old Caspian, but it was good. The staff was friendly. We sat on the patio under the heater it was nice. The saffron ice cream was on point! Will be back. read more

Had the most wonderful dinner at Caspian on a Wed night at 5:30pm. I was greeted warmly by Maddie. Service was excellent. This was a well paced meal with the best Persian food in SoCal and beyond!!! We started off with their hummus sampler platter. The diff flavors were all so good. We ran out of bread, so we had no choice but to ask for more pita. LOL. Then we had Tahdig with a pomegranate walnut dip that was warm. The tahdig was superb. The inside rice was buttery, soft and fluffy. The exterior had that nice crisp! These smaller rounds of tahdig were so thoughtfully prepared. The walnut dip was slightly sweet, and was a good contrast to all the diff hummus options. Loved this item. Then we ordered chicken koobideh and beef koobideh. Each koobideh pair is sitting on top of the thinnest lavash to soak in all the wonderful juices. Each platter comes with basmatic rice topped with saffron rice and warmed barberries in a beautiful presentation. There were grilled jalepenos and cherry tomatoes. And a small side of that walnut dip. The koobideh's were so flavorful and soft! The portions are huge! Shareable or enough to take home for your next meals. We also ordered shirazi salad. They cut their veggies much larger than other places. But it was made fresh, all the veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion) were so fresh and tasty. The dressing was light and refreshing. We also enjoyed diet coke, iced tea and hot persian tea (the tea was so smooth and delish) served in a cute teacup service. I also asked for hot sauce and was presented with a generous amount of tapatio and a jalepeno aoili of sorts. Both were so delish and made the food even better. We left happy and most definitely in a food coma! Looking forward to many return visits and to try all their other menu items as well. The interiors are lavish with a modern touch. This May they plan to offer night time hookah outside in their lovely patio. They used to have belly dancing at their other location. I will look forward to that and any other live entertainment. This place is like chicken soup for the soul! You will feel so loved! read more

This is a fun place to bring the family. It is a more international type Persian restaurant. You can get your kebab and also a drink from the bar. We went on a Friday and they had live music and dancing afterwards, all ages got up from their tables and danced on the small dance floor. Outdoor patio has a cute swing chair. read more

The servers came around many times at the right times to see if we needed anything. They had engaged with us in a humorous but also respectable way. We had a lot of food and they gracefully packaged everything away nicely. The food was very tasty and fresh, and made us very full but in a completed way. The atmosphere was very nice with the background music to the whole tile aesthetic. read more

I bought a gift card at there Irvine location back in 2021. We decide to go for our 10th Wedding Anniversary and they REFUSE to honor our gift card for 100$. The personal who sold us the gift card is the same person at the new location in foothill ranch. We are literally waiting here and she said she contacted the owner but so far nothing. I am super angry and upset not only will they not honor our gift card were just sitting here waiting. this is 100 dollars worth that's a lot to not have it honored. read more

If I had to rate for the decor alone I would give it 5 stars. It is beautiful inside and out. The staff is very friendly also. The food, however, is not that great. We were regulars at the old location and always loved their lunch buffet. We had the buffet here for the first time and we will not be returning. The meat was dried and lacked flavor. The rice tasted old and so did the pita. They no longer have the variety of dishes as the previous location did and there are no desserts. You get a selection of chicken kebab, beef koobideh, shrimp kebab, pasta, and two types of rice. It was very disappointing. read more

Food was phenomenal. One of the best lamb chops I had. Cooked perfectly. Rice was amazing and the sauce was a little bit sweet and absolutely delicious. Hummus was alright 7/10. Tzatziki sauce was 10/10. Cauliflower was decent, nothing special just cauliflower 6/10. Baklava was a no for me. The espresso cream brûlée was absolutely amazing. Service was amazing. Super attentive and knowledgeable waitress. Extremely nice as well. The restaurant was beautiful. Nicely decorated and the entertainment was good as well. The belly dancer was amazing and the accordion player was amazing. Definitely would come back here. read more

Everything , Moses took care of everything. He also made sure everything was going well with our meal.

Great place great food l love to go with my family and friends to this place great service

So I'll be upfront the old Caspian was much better. This one was a little odd. Service was odd let's just leave it at that. Menu was just random stuff things shoved onto a menu, food was just mediocre. Ambiance was ok but I felt like someone was about to pitch me a deal on a used car. Would i go back......maybe for free. read more

We decided to have lunch at Caspian yesterday and the lunch buffet was okay. For the buffet, they had pita bread, salad greens, yogurt, 2 types of rice, red lentil soup, split peas stew, hummus, meatball pasta, french fries, chicken kebab, ground beef kebab and charred tomatoes, grilled chicken, and shrimp kebab. Hubby's favorite was hummus, yogurt, rice, and ground beef kebab. Mine was shrimp kebab, I probably ate 3-4 skewers just for myself lol. Service was great, the staff were attentive. The restaurant was clean and spacious -- perfect for an event! Parking was plenty so it's definitely a plus. Overall, we enjoyed the lunch buffet and would probably come back to try their a la carte menu. read more

Great service and ambiance. Thank you Caspian's team. We definitely keep recommending you to all friends.

Such a cute spot and great food. Moises was our server and was amazing! Going to come here again

We went there to celebrate a birthday and tge service was terrible. We asked for salt, sumac and butter but never got it. We had to ask multiple times for water. The food was okay, but not worth the terrible service. Music was extremely loud. The standard have gone down at this restaurant. read more

Let's start with ambiance : I thought it was karaoke night but it turned out the music was coming from a band . If the singer got any awards it was probably from a Bowling Alley . My trip to the ladies room would be a brief escape from the cheeesy music , only to find that they pipe in the singer into speakers that play in the restroom . Lol. So the sound of toilets flushing was momentary relief from my ear assault. FOOD: Meh. Sort of tasteless --about the level of a trader Joe microwave dinner . I got the grilled Mahi Mahi ... might as well call it MEHi MEHI. Drinks : I ordered a Marguerita and wasn't impressed . Small glass , mostly ice and maybe there was 2oz of Marguerita mix in there. If you aren't cool, love bland pseudo ethnic food and and enjoy a loud dining room ... go to Caspian! read more

Food is excellent here. A great variety of selection of food from meat to fish to vegetarian options. Even have good selection of food for children who are picky. Service outstanding even have manager come to our table to greet us. I feel that it is a nice old tradition. On weekends they have live music and have a full bar and private room available. Bonus check in on Yelp and get a choice of house wine read more
