Cafe Caspian is a Persian restaurant in Houston. If you are not familiar with Persian cuisine, it reminds you a little of Greek food. Their main proteins are chicken, beef and lamb. They start you off with chunks of blue cheese, radishes and some herbs for a light type of salad. Two of our new favorites are their dolmeh, which are stuffed grape leaves. They are stuffed with rice, onions, leeks, parsley and mint. It's served hot which is different then the Greek way which is served cold. We tasted a new soup they serve which is a delectable lentil soup. It is delicious. They also have a fresh herb stew that is fantastic and their hummus is to die for, "not literally". The decor is Middle Eastern and the people are very polite and informative about their cuisine. If you are ever in the area, this restaurant is one stop you should make.
