Was looking for a Persian restaurant and found this on Google and Yelp with good reviews. Located in a small strip mall in Plantation, the outside doesn't quite match the inside. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations on the menu. It appears they used to have a buffet but no longer and that is sad. It was also unfortunate that the one dish we were hoping to try, tahdig, they were out of. The grape leaves were standard good. The "bread" basket they put on the table seemed never ending. It was just layers and layer of thin tasty bread/pita type. I was torn between two of the stews and asked which the waiter recommended. Without hesitation he said the ghormeh sabzi, so that is what I ordered. It did not disappoint. I couldn't exact describe or compare it to something else, but here's what it says on the menu: Traditional Vegetable Stew Made with Fresh Chopped Parsley, Cilantro, Chives, Fenurgreek and Chunks of Beef and seasoned with a blend of Dried Persian Limes It was different and tasty and definitely something I would order again. The chicken kabobs were juicy and plump and flavorful in a very simple way. They have a small store attached through a door in the restaurant where you can find many Persian food, spices, teas, coffees, and treats. Looking forward to coming back to this restaurant. read more

Go to for Iranian food in broward. Highly recommend caspian grill. I have really enjoyed their lunch specials during the week. It's such a good deal. I added a picture of all that you get. The chicken kabobs are phenomenal. Kashke bademjan is my Favorite appetizer there, it's an eggplant dip. Just trust me, order it. Service is at times hit or miss but who cares the food is amazing. Highly recommend this place. read more

Caspian Persian Grill - Lunch special platter. - Mediterranean Near Me - Plantation, Florida

Food: 9/10 Service: 6/10 Value: 8/10 Vibe: 8/10 High rating because I love Persian food and this spot always delivers. They also sell Persian goods in the restaurant where we bought spices and herbs. The only downside is they usually only have one person on staff and one of my guest waited for a glass of water the entire meal. Server kept forgetting to get their water! Aside from that, Caspian fulfills our Persian fix and will continue being our go to kabob joint. read more

I am glad I had the opportunity to dine here. Persian cuisine is slightly similar to Mediterranean cuisine. Love the Persian tea. I had it hot and cold. Although everything looked good on the menu, which is located under the glass top tables, I ordered the Salmon side kabob and the Koobideh kabob platter with Lentil & Raisin Rice. My meal was very tasty. Although the restaurant is small it is a great place to have lunch and dinner. The plate sizes are huge. There is a separate menu for lunch. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. read more

The meat is juicy and love the rice. It's not too salty which is hard to find nowadays. The sauces are so yummy and I personally love the tzatziki sauce. I always mix the sauce with the rice and chicken and salad. It's PERFECTION. There is also a nice searing area but I usually get takeout here. The workers always make sure the food is out quickly and I appreciate that. It looks like a normal restaurant and pretty clean. Nothing too special with the decor but I really enjoy the food and hope you guys do too! read more

Caspian Persian Grill - Lunch special - Mediterranean Near Me - Plantation, Florida

Where has this place been all of my life? The place is nice only negative thing I can say is it's not particularly close to me but it is WELL WORTH the drive. The place was clean which is very important during these times. The service was great and friendly. I wasn't able to eat my order until about an hour after I received it since I had to drive home and take care of some things. I was expecting it to have been dry and less good since it was no longer fresh. I was completely wrong...I ordered a steak kabob wrap. It was so flavorful and tasted completely fresh. So many fresh ingredients, cucumber, onions, tomato and a side of a light creamy sauce. I also ordered baklava, which was equally delicious. Generous portions and a great prices. I am excited to explore the rest of the menu. This place makes me feel like I've gone too easy on all my previous reviews. If I could rate it higher, I would. read more

Excellent food and large portions. Everything was delicious! The chicken kabobs were my favorite (very tender and flavorful) as well as the eggplant appetizer and baklava for dessert. read more

We ordered several kabob and chicken dishes to go. The food was very dry, bland and not up to par with the price that they charged. The salad shirazi also had no flavor, as it did not seem like it had any lemon, salt/pepper. I will never go here again. There's another Persian restaurant not too far away that is excellent though, which we went right afterwards. read more

The food was nice--I got the lunch special platter and there was so much food that I had leftovers! Service was great and it was a pretty fun experience! read more

We came for dinner and they were not busy but seemed to only have one waiter which is what made it busy. We started with lentil soup and it was okay. It was thick and not the traditional lentil soup one thinks of. We got the Persian stew platter which was allowed us to sample three stews. They missed the mark. They were just strange. We also ordered a mixed platter. The meat was good. Definetly not the best Persian food. I would stick to the grilled meats. read more

Very good Persian food - authentic + they offer a good lunch buffet. I had a meeting in the area and wanted to grab lunch nearby. We are big fans of good Persian food and this place is the best we have found so far in S. Florida. It's located in an older shopping center fronting Sunrise Blvd. There's plenty of parking too. They weren't too busy when I arrived but by the time I left they had about 10 tables enjoying lunch. The buffet had both cold and hot items and I was able to find my good items to enjoy. It was good value given the selection, quality and taste. I started with some salads, grape leaves and hummus. Then I had the chicken kabob, rice, a spinach dish and some of their hot eggplant. Everything was fresh and very good. They also had a yogurt sauce, grilled tomato and onions too. They kept bringing out more of the meats as it hot and fresh vs. sitting out there for a while. The service was also good. They even brought me out some Persian tea to try. I will certainly be back next time I'm in the area or bring the family for dinner. read more

Went here on a whim for a late lunch. The food was definitely tasty and the hummus was to die for. The service needs a bit of work. Our server was pleasant but she could have checked in a bit more. Cause I tried signaling her for 15 mins for the bill . They make you pay the bill in front, which I don't mind. All in all I would return here. read more

I'm a bit conflicted with this review. The food we were able to eat was pretty good. Came in last week to try the food out. I'd been here a few years ago but haven't been recently. I ordered the tahdig, one of their stews, ice cream, and the rice sticks dessert. The tahdig was really wonderful, and while we didn't enjoy the dessert we totally understand that rose water is an acquired taste. The bread that we got was a bit stale, but the basmati rice made up for that in flavor. However, the biggest issue was that our server said one of their stews could be made vegetarian, and that's the one we ordered. My mother is a vegetarian and it's very important to her. Once we started eating the stew we quickly realized that not only was the stew not vegetarian, there were large chunks of meat inside. We had already left and couldn't come back to talk to the server. Other than this experience, the food and tea that we got were pretty good. Can't earnestly give a good rating based on my experience though :( read more

Great lunch special with healthy servings. The server was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back for dinner!

Always 10/10! I love Persian food and this place always delivers! My family and I love coming here and I order the Koobideh kabob it's my favorite! Recently came and they are taking the necessary precautions for COVID. Everyone wears masks and no one is seated close to you which made me feel comfortable. read more

Not sure why when I say, Persian food, all of my friends start thinking spicy. No, Persian food isn't Indian food with loads of curry powder. My dad's side came from Iran centuries ago, and to this very day, we cannot tolerate spicy foods. This restaurant was very clean, the entire staff was polite, and the waitress was very sweet and attentive to each customer. If you are in the area, make sure you give it a try. read more

Delicious Persian food and I ate here with a Persian!! Excellent kabab!! I loved the sour orange chicken!! Delicious meat dishes & eggplant dishes. Good for meat lovers & vegetarians! Staff was friendly! Restaurant was clean & comfortable. Great place for dates, families, or even solo! Also, there's a store attached with some great Persian ingredients, tea, and presents! Love the saffron rock candy for teas & sumac spice :) read more

The food is amazing. I would recommend the soltani if you like steak and beef. Worth a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

The place was not busy when I went for lunch today, only a family having tea while grocery shopping, which adds to my disappointment that my two part order was missing it's second item. My total came out to $44 w tip, and the tahdig w stew, which has a $2 up charge was missing. I initially ordered the chicken soltani $18.99, yogurt sauce $5, and the tahdig w stew. After cashing out, I noticed the combo includes everything and is cheaper than the chicken soltani plate which does not come w all the lunch plate sides. I would have appreciated if the employee mentioned the lunch special... since it was 12:30 and all... I asked the employee if I can switch to the lunch plate instead and he said "you already cashed out, I'll give it for the same price". Cool. Anyway, food is ok. Unremarkable, for the type in the area. From the plate: Good one- Chicken is juicy tender and I liked it better than the beef kabab. It was the highlight of this order. The eggplant is also great. Hummus is a little grainy. The rice is bland, tahdig can be skipped for the up-charge. I'm off at how much I paid for half my order. The lunch plate is priced at $16.99 and comes w chicken, beef kabab, saffron rice, salad, hummus, eggplant, and yogurt sauce. I paid $40 for this one lunch plate. This area has a lot of Middle Eastern eateries so I don't see myself returning read more

Nestled in the back of a shopping center this place has incredible food. The cons are their hours and the cold bread however everything else is positive. Food is amazing and portion sizes are good. I will keep coming back for the delicious food. The Koobideh is my go to, i order it over and over again. read more

Solid option for getting your Persian on. They don't always have everything available that is listed on the menu (I'm looking at you Tahdig) so prepare for that. Hummus, eggplant dip thing, and stuffed grape leaf apps were above average. I enjoyed my lamb shank and the kids enjoyed their kebobs. Rice -- especially the cherry rice -- were more exotic than found elsewhere. The menu has a lot of stewed dishes to explore beyond just kebobs. The Persian food store next door is small but also worth a visit. There is an Arab grocery in the same mall (_the_ source for fresh, domestic lamb, I'm told), so some economies of scale there. Waitress was hella friendly, and that added to the overall experience. read more

Can't believe I never wrote a review been coming here for years. the lunch buffet was the best deal n town Absolutely the best chicken kebobs in town. yesterday besides the chicken Soltoni I had the Ghormeh Sabzi. My ownly complaint is that they do not serve pita bread but a thin lavash which tends to get very dry very fast. read more

The food was bland, and it seemed that it was cooked without any seasonings. They automatically added the tip in the bill regardless of the service. read more

Came with the wifey on our way home after a long time and first time since Cyrus owned the place. They did not disappoint as the service was great, we both ordered the Kabab and Chicken Platter which was Deelish. We used the 15% YELP discount and we will definitely be back! The Lunch Buffet is now 7 days a week and worth it! read more

We originally went out to go to a deferent restaurant, 7 flavors, which is in the same plaza as this restaurant. When we arrived, we discovered it was permanently closed. We saw Caspian Grill and decided to try it. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and sat at a cozy table with a white table cloth. The place looked fancy but is casual. The waiter approached us quickly, took our drink orders and answered a few questions about the menu. Our wine was opened at our table, poured and placed on ice. While we were waiting for our food, music started blaring and a belly dancer started dancing around the room. She had many props including a large sword and various colorful scarves. She pulled several people from the room and engaged them in dancing with her. Our salads arrived. I ordered a chopped salad with cucumbers, onion, tomato and parsley. It was delicious and definitely big enough to share. My husband ordered the regular salad and said mine was better. He ended up eating his plus a lot of mine. Mine was a nice topper for the thin bread that was delivered to the table. Then the meals came. I got the chicken with crushed walnut sauce. The waiter told me it would be on the sweet side but I didn't think so. It was kind of a small portion of only 3 small pieces of meat covered with lots of nuts. It was paired with basmati rice. The chicken was a little on the dry side. Not sure if I'd order it again. My husband got a huge lamb shank accompanied by a flavored rice. He enjoyed it. We then tried dessert. We ordered the baklava which was great. We also had the Persian ice cream which the waiter said is made in-house. It was very different. It was vanilla with a strong taste of rose water. There were cherries on top that added an extra sweetness. I would go back again. The belly dancer was an extra treat. If you're looking for a casual dining experience, good service, and food, give it a try. read more

We are 40 minutes away so we phoned to ask whether the shop associated with this restaurant carries Persian ice cream (saffron and faludeh). They said yes. We made the journey. The shop, which is connected through an open doorway with the restaurant, was in derelict condition. There were puddles on the floor and buckets to catch the water. There were very few items - some cans and jars of jam - on the shelves. It was dark. The only freezer contained some kind of cheese. We proceeded into the restaurant - in which at lunch time only one table was occupied - and they said oh no, that was a misunderstanding, the shop doesn't carry it, only the restaurant. At 8 dollars a scoop! A huge waste of time, misleading information, and that shop needs to be taken offline pronto. read more

AMAZING food! My favorite is the dish that has multiple meats/chicken and to finish it off, the rose water ice cream is delicious

Caspian Persian Grill replaced Kuluck, I was a fan of Kuluck, they offered a great buffet for $11.95. Now with Caspian taking over the space, they kept the same buffet set up but increased the price to $12.95. I found the food good but not to be as good as Kuluck, which is very disappointing. Caspian has made some renovations to the restaurant, the buffet area is nicer and so is the new paint and decoration which adds to a nicer ambiance, but it is very disappointing that the food isn't as good as Kuluck's used to be, especially since they serve pretty much the same food - Lavash (thin flatbread), spreads like Hummus, eggplant dip, yogurt and cucumber dip, tabouli, Basmati rice, crispy rice, meat balls, a pasta dish, veggie patties, chicken stew, beef stew, chicken kabobs, ground beef patties, fruit, cookies, small cupcakes, Lentil soup, and a few other items. Also, like Kuluck the buffet aren't labeled which would be helpful to know at least some of the main ingredients. Service is friendly, but it may take some effort in getting their attention to get refills and the check. Great place for a quick lunch. Food 3 Ambiance 3 Service 3 read more

We were in the mood for middle eastern food and decided to check Caspian out. Upon walking in, I found this place to be cute and quaint. We were greeted and sat down at a table with cute table cloths. The service was really good. We had two men who were friendly, quick, and efficient. I ordered the Persian tea which had a calming ginger taste to it. We orderd hummus and another dip that tasted liked Greek yogurt with cucumber pieces mixed in. I am bad with names so I don't recall what it's called. We dipped the naan like bread into it and it was delicious. If you like hot sauce, they have an awesome hot sauce that goes well with the mix. I order the lentil and beef stew. It came with basmati rice. The stew had a tomato base and almost looks like chili when it was brought out. They had little potato sticks placed on top as a garnish. The food was really good. It had a nice kick to it. My husband ordered the chicken and sausage dish that came with rice. I tried a piece of that and it was heavenly. That will be my next dish next time I come. Overall, really good food and I plan to come back! They had a 15% off Yelp check in offer that we used too. read more

Literally my favorite Persian restaurant in broward county. I've been here countless time with my family and friends for lunch, dinner, special events, or their buffet. Authentic Persian cuisine with the best ingredients (trust me I know I'm Persian) I order the chicken soltani every time best way to sample both the joojeh (chicken) with the beef (koobideh) kabobs and includes the best basmati rice. Do not forget the yogurt and shirazi salad! read more

The best Persian in South Florida. Very traditional cooking that could compete with the best anywhere in the U.S. Eggplant appetizers are spot on and Joojeh and Zeresk rice are almost perfect in preparation and taste. Stews, while a little small in size, have great flavor and Tahdig is really nicely done. I wish they had a bread oven to make the dining experience perfect. read more

We came to eat here around 8:00pm on a weekday. The restaurant was empty and the service was exceptionally fast. We sat where we wanted and they instantly brought out menus and pita bread and butter. The food was actually a little pricey for the quantity. We ordered the chicken and the ground beef kabobs. It came with some basmati rice, a grilled tomato, and some onions. The taste and quality of the food was worth every penny. The chicken was hands down some of the best flavored chicken I've had. Both meats were tender and and full of flavor. I even ended up ordering some food to go for my mother. This restaurant was a great find. Thank you, Yelp! Will be back. read more

Caspian Grill is amazing! I loved trying several dishes and having authentic Persian in south FL. I especially loved the chicken in pomegranate sauce and the rose water ice cream of course :) Great and friendly service as well! Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

This place is awesome. It is the very first time trying Iranian food. It is slightly different than the average Mediterranean food that you may be used to, similar ingredients but made differently. I had a groupon for 2 and I was able to order 2 entrees, and an appetizer with the groupon. I started off with the Kashkeh Bademjan, which is an eggplant dish, sauteed with garlic, onions, mint and herbs, and yogurt, served with a side of pita. Hope I didn't throw you off with the yogurt, but... if you are accustomed to Arabic, Indian, Mediterranean foods this is the norm. This dish was the perfect starter, it set my expectations of what was next to come. The flavors all blended together was simply amazing. For entrees, I ordered the cornish hen meal served with barberry rice (long grain white rice with berries). The cornish hen was seasoned and grilled to perfection, and it paired up perfectly with the barberry rice. My friend ordered a the Tahdig with Stew- Ghormeh Sabzi. It's like a vegetable and beef stew, served with Tahdig (crispy rice). The rice is fried very crispy into a round pancake. I tried it and was not crazy about this dish, and was so glad I wasn't the one that ordered it lol! Overall, authentic Persian food and flavors, the staff was accommodating, and the Persian decor made the perfect setting. I felt like I was somewhere else for a moment. I will most definitely be back! read more

BE AWARE.............This place was known for offering halal meat. The waitress told us that they stopped selling halal meats due to the expensive cost of halal meats. It's really confusing now no one knows the status of the meat if it's halal or not. read more

Ok so I choose this as my first "first day Friday" (May) pick. I have to say I was very happy with my option. I had my eye on Caspian Grill for a while and after seeing they had pickup/delivery during quarantine I was in. I was so undecided I had to go with the appetizer combo. This includes 3 dips and grape leaves. It was amazing. I would totally recommend this if you were to have happy hour at home or people over. There was enough for 6+ people. The yogurt dip and hummus were great but the real star was the Kashkeh Bademjan. Omg AMAZING! I ordered the chicken soltani for my son and I to share as well. The chicken was super moist and had a lot of flavor. I was disappointed I forgot to order the shirazi salad because I think it would have really brought out the flavors of all the food. I look forward to trying Caspian Grill again when everything opens up. I believe they have an amazing lunch time buffet and I can't wait to try everything they have to offer. read more
