Caspian Grill Restaurant

Almost thirty years ago, a friend made Ghormeh Sabzi for her family and me. It is a traditional Persian dish and one of her husband's favorites from his homeland. I've never forgotten the unique blend of beef and spices over rice, but I'd also never found it again. Today, though, another friend and I happened upon the Caspian Grill Persian Bistro on Frankfort Avenue and they serve it! They call it "beef stew" but I knew immediately from the description of the spices that it was the same meal, and the chef confirmed that. Of course, I ordered it, and it was just as unique, flavorful, and filling as I remembered from almost three decades ago. I'm delighted to have found a place for this occasional favorite treat! My friend had the chicken kabob and absolutely loved it, and I can't wait to bring my husband by for the salmon - I think he'll be really pleased, too. The bistro is a hybrid between counter service and table service, at least during lunch time, and the atmosphere is not fancy. However, the food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced - I can't ask for more than that! Portions are more than reasonably sized - I had enough Ghormeh Sabzi left for evening snacking but probably not for an entire dinner. In all, a delicious, pleasurable lunch - we will be back!

Love this place. My boyfriend and I used to go there alot and then they closed for remodel. They have now opened and its really nice and the man who owns it is to. Great food. I get the burger and my boyfriend gets the burger and the gyros and salad. Not a fancy place we usually sit outside and people and dog watch on Frankfort Ave.
