In Short – This authentic Persian restaurant in the Westchase area has fans of the hot taftoon bread and upscale atmosphere sampling dishes unique to Iran. The restaurant overcomes the fate of many strip mall dining rooms with arched doorways, puffy clouds on the ceiling and eye-catching Persian rugs decorating the walls. Menu standouts include a variety of kabobs and dishes such as the beef stew topped with potatoes and fried onions and baked chicken topped with walnuts and pomegranates. –

not the best hummus!
by dankam at Citysearch
Heard the hummus was great but I have to say the hummus at Kasra is way better! Rice options were nice however my chicken was dry and my filet that I ordered rare was not rare by any means!
- Pros: 1/2 off wine bottles on tuesdays
- Cons: dry chicken, overcooked filet, bland hummus

A culinary oasis
by briteideas at Citysearch
It's all true; all of the great revues are all true! And it's not just the marvelous, mouthwatering food (although it's hard not to rave about). Throw in the lovely, exotic waitstaff, the simply elegant interior and simple, lush entrance with the heavy, carved wooden door. It's a little piece of Paradise on the west side.
- Pros: Easy parking, no crowds, great menu
- Cons: Distance from anywhere other than the West side.

Awesome Hummus and Bread ... and Everything Else!!
by AMH01 at Citysearch
My friends and I LOVE Cafe Caspian. Any time anyone mentions it for lunch, the statement is followed by "Cafe Caspian .... HMMMMMMMMM .... Hummus!!!"
The hummus is excellent and the bread is incredible. My only regret is that I can't stop eating the bread! The bread is served hot and fresh at the table along with Feta Cheese and Herbs which are complimentary. My favorite dish is the Chicken Barg with Saffron Rice. The portion is HUGE and I always take at least half of it to go for lunch the next day. I also like the Cherry Topping on the rice.
- Pros: Great value/portion size, great food, quick service, friendly staff
- Cons: Too far west to go often for lunch
