Caspian Bistro & Marketplace in Minneapolis

Owned by Azeri-Iranians cozy and resonable place to have a dinner. Delicious and fresh food , you should definitely try meat in there! Some people find Caspian Bistro pricy but the quality worth every penny.

The place serves large portions and for affordable prices. friendly owner. Great work.

I love this place. Great food add always. Good price and service.

Food is fresh and delicious. Also, you can shop some nice persian and Indian grocery there.

Great food and service. My wife has a sensitvity to pepper, but the gyro meat uses more of a savory seasoning that she found very flavorful.

This has been one of our favorite restaurants since we first started dating (1994). We’ve been married 21 years and continue to dine here; we just can’t get enough. The food is delicious, the tea is black and the desserts are sweet! They also have a market that has everything you would need to make your own Persian meal. We will be back!

Amazing selection of persian and turkish food. Great service too!

Some of the BEST Persian food in the Midwest! Our family drives up every year just to visit this place and eat the food. The staff is amazing and there's a store connected to the restaurant to shop in!

Not my favorite restaurant. The food is not very flavorful. The staff are great and the place is decorated beautifully. There business is spread out of word of mouth and they don’t advertise. Share with your friends if you liked the service there. They do have a small market on the side of the restaurant, prices tend to run a little high.

It was my first time going in. I went to get takeout with a regular and I found it very cozy. The food is fantastic!! Super friendly staff and they offer a beautiful selection in their marketplace.

I love the food everything was delicious and fresh. The staff were very friendly a very nice, they some meet that are Halal.

While I have had better Persian food, this is probably the best you'll get in the Twin Cities. My favorite dish on the menu was the Kashk E Bademjan, a sauteed eggplant dish with fried onions. I was a little dissapointed with the spinach pie, dolmeh, and the choobideh (chicken) wrap. The main dishes are excellent and I really love the market.

The service is very good and staff are really friendly. The design and the decoration has taste of Persian atmosphere with beautiful paintings, with a market on the side of the restaurant where you can find fresh Iranian ingredients or delicious pastries hear.

We have enjoyed excellent meals here for many years and also love the dry tea to go by the pound in the gourmet grocery market here. Just fantastic and high quality.

Loved the rice and the meat there. I got number 26 (I forgot the name of the dish😅.)Make sure to ask them for the plate fixings. That would be onions and butter that you could cut and mix it with the rice (I highly recommend it.)For the starts get the vegetables plate with cheese (the pickled garlic is really good) and their eggplant spread. That style of eggplant dishes is really popular in Persian cuisine. Take the time to inspect the amazing pictures and art work they have hanged around the restaurant.

The food here is simply the best! Staff treats you like family, and food is always on the table in 10 minutes or less. Love this place!

Excellent Persian food. A real unexpected treat. Reasonably priced too.

I have known the brothers since I was very young in the early 1900's as friends of my father Xerxes. They run a very high quality establishment with authentic food with an aim for freshness. Short of getting great Persian food at home, this is the place to go or to introduce people to Persian cuisine.The grocery store is one of the only places you can get Turkish Delight / Lokum fresh (as it gets), along with other delicacies in the TC. The quality is high and you will never have a problem with the freshness or quality of the products offered in the grocery store. If you are looking for Persian groceries & food? Capsian Bistro.

The Caspian is a 40-year tradition here in Minneapolis, and I am embarrassed to say that today was my first visit. That aside, better to have been too late than to have never been at all.The food is fantastic. I ordered the Dolmeh for an appetizer, Caspian Salad and Falafel for the main course, and the house tea as well as a glass of Doogh for beverages.The food arrived quickly and was beautifully prepared and arranged. Each bite was filled with even flavor and texture, and I was joyfully filled with almost exactly half to bring home for later.After dinner, I visited the market and purchased several snacks for friends (Turkish delight and baklava), some tea, and a beautiful copy of the Quran. I was also able to converse briefly with the owner, a kind and smart man and a wonderful conversationalist.Please visit the Caspian if you have not already. It is well with the visit.

Very quaint area, decor made you feel like you were in the Caspian seas. Food was great, tender juicy large portions. Will be returning.

Caspian is a personal and family favorite. This is a persian family-owned restaurant. Make sure to shop their Middle Eastern Market!! I have been going here since I can remember. The food is always amazing, they have never failed us.

Still wonderful and flavorful twenty years later. The ambience has a flair that is not easily matched.

Food was wonderful. Service was very friendly and helpful. I had eaten takeout from here at a family gathering many years ago. I attempted to describe what I had, and he right away knew exactly what I was referring to. Thank you for being patient with us and super helpful! Will definitely be back again.

The food is so good! Also the environment, and people are lovely. It also has a nice store. Highly recommended.

We have eaten here several times since moving to this area a few years ago. Every experience has been great, and our experience today was nothing short of fantastic. We ordered dinner for pickup, and when we arrived home realized that one of the items we received wasn’t what we ordered (this is the first time that’s ever happened). I called the restaurant and they apologized and promptly made the entree that I had actually intended to get so that we could pick it up ASAP. The food is delicious and the customer service is exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Best Iranian restaurant ever! The attached market is also one of our favorites.

Good food, cheap price, nice owner. I talked to Michael and he is a really friendly owner.

Delicious food in lovely and friendly environment. The service is very good and staff are friendly. The design of the restaurant has taste of Persian atmosphere with beautiful pictures and paintings. The market is another bonus of this restaurant. You can find fresh Iranian ingredients or delicious pastries there.

This place is amazing. As someone who never had Persian food my first experience was exceptional. I came with my friend who had experience with the food and markets. We were equally impressed. The koubideh was fantastic. I couldn't even do the food justice by describing it. The staff were incredibly helpful in the market showing us a variety of options and almost all of the products are made in Iran. In many experience trying a new cultural food would be stressful but the waitress, hostess, staff all made it very clear, explained, and introduced the dishes.

A wonderful Persian cuisine experience. The side dishes are awesome. Also definitely check their store, yummmm
