We discovered this great restaurant as we have tried somewhere else some Persian food, & we looked to see if we could find something on the South Shore, we saw the reviews & decided to try it. I must say it was a beautiful surprise. We really enjoyed the full experience. Food & service was amazing. We will definitely go back.
I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The grilled beef was tender & perfectly seasoned, & the crispy saffron rice was absolutely delicious. The grilled vegetables & fresh salad with avocado complemented the meal perfectly.
The service was friendly, attentive, & welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, & relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy an authentic Persian meal with family & friends.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Iranian cuisine in Montreal. I will definitely be coming back!

As someone of Middle Eastern descent, I will never understand why ethnic restaurants sell pizza in a restaurant called'Restaurant iranien Caspienne' or bland white rice. It seems like the cook or owner are allergic to salt & butter because everything we tasted was bland. We decided to try this since we wanted to give Persian Food a chance & we were seriously disappointed.
The service was very quick which is always a red flag but we told ourselves maybe the food will be better. But the meat was unseasoned & tasted weird. The bread they gave us looked good but once again it had no taste to it. The rice was just bland white rice. The soup was the only decent thing & you could tell that it was reheated & not fresh. Overall, a disappointing experience & the insult on the injury was the final price. 65$ for 2 people is crazy in 2026. I don't really understand how this has 4.8 starts on 5. Either people have poor taste or the owner is bribing people with free food if you leave good reviews. The people in the restaurant around weren't even finishing their plates & they all looked disappointed.
A beautiful Persian experience!
The food at Caspian Restaurant was absolutely delicious - rich in flavor & clearly made with love. Every bite felt like a taste of home. The live music was amazing, full of soul & tradition - it truly woke up memories & created such a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Persian cuisine & culture.
An unforgettable private event - 10/10 experience!
We reserved the entire restaurant this past Monday night for a group of about 20 people, & I cannot recommend Restaurant Caspienne enough. From the planning stages to the very end of the night, everything was perfect.
First, the owner is truly the most joyous person I have ever met. She was incredibly nice & accommodating, working closely with us to craft a buffet-style menu that worked perfectly for our group.
When we arrived, the presentation of the food was stunning & so thoughtful. As for the taste-everything was absolutely delicious. For some of our group, this was their first time trying Persian cuisine. Even though some dishes were outside of their usual comfort zone, every single item was a hit. By the end of the night, we couldn't think of one thing that wasn't amazing.
The owner & her staff were there for whatever we needed, & the entertainment added such a fun vibe to the evening. If you are looking for incredible food & a warm, welcoming atmosphere, you have to go here!
Highly recommend this Persian restaurant! From the soup & eggplant appetizer, mix of meat & vegetable, savory rice , until the hot tea & baklava , all are super tasty & delicious!!
