Across many reviews, Caspienne is described as a warm, welcoming spot offering authentic Persian cuisine with generous portions and good value. Dishes like koobideh, chenjeh, and Fesenjan are repeatedly praised for tenderness and flavor, along with comforting sides such as hummus, tahdig, and homemade bread, with baklava often singled out as a perfect ending. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, staff are attentive, and the service is consistently described as gracious, with some customers noting live music and a BYOW option that adds to the welcoming vibe. The restaurant is seen as a standout on the South Shore, beloved for its homely feel, reliable quality, and suitability for family meals, celebrations, and casual dinners alike.
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.
I highly recommend this little Iranian restaurant. Delicious food, great ambiance, best homemade baklava I ever tasted & wonderful owners, who are very kind & hardworking.
Definitely we will come back in the future.
DELICIEUX! Nous avons commandé du take out! voici les plats choisis - L'assiette avec poulet, l'assiette avec les morceaux de boeuf & l'assiette avec les brochettes de boeuf haché, nous avons aussi commandé une entrée d'aubergines & tomates! Le tout était plus qu'excellent! Les viandes sont tendres & juteuses & le riz est croustillant & savoureux! Je recommande à tous d'essayer. Les portions sont aussi très généreuses!
Superbe découverte! Endroit tranquille, personnel accueillant & nourriture excellente.
Nous recommandons autant pour la pizza que pour les mets perses.
