Caspian restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

Tried this Persian restaurant recently and it was such a wonderful experience! 🍽️ The food was absolutely delicious, starting with the kebabs which were the star of the evening. The mince lamb kebab was juicy, tender, and packed with rich flavor 🐑🔥, while the chicken fillet kebab was perfectly grilled – succulent, lightly spiced, and so tasty 🐓👌. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and truly showcased authentic Persian flavors.

The ambiance of the restaurant added so much to the overall experience ✨. It had a warm and welcoming vibe, with a nice balance of traditional touches and a relaxed setting that made it perfect for both casual dining and special nights out. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive 😊, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Their hospitality really stood out and made us feel comfortable right away.

Another big plus is that the restaurant allows BYOB 🍷🍾, which is such a great option and made the evening even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find places with that flexibility these days, and it definitely added to the charm.

Overall, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic and delicious Persian kebabs in a lovely setting. 🌟 From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back...

Wow. The gems you come across if you go looking. This may be my find of the year. If this place was in inner Melbourne they’d be a stampede. It looks like fast food place if you’re driving along at 80kmh on busy Springvale Road. But, it’s actually a lovely little Iranian Cafe with amazing food. It’s nicely set out and decorated with pictures of Iran. There’s a nice colour scheme throughout too.

I received a lovely but low key greeting on arrival. After a quick discussion I ordered the Persian stew. This is a gorgeously perfumed and flavoured stew. It’s subtly but superbly spiced. I couldn't get over the rustic beauty of the dish. It was amazing with close to the best cooked and fluffiest rice you could imagine. It’s a big serve overall. Huge actually. Other dishes coming out were similarly sizeable. It is astonishing value for $16.50. Just incredible And such a wonderfully satisfying meal. It cost about half of some of the ordinary bland pub meals I’ve had in my lifetime with three times the quality.

There was no attempt to upsell anything here. It’s just great food that speaks for itself. I loved this place. There’s lots of interesting things I spotted on the menu. I can’t...

I've been wanting to write this review for a couple of months, but I thought I should do the right thing and let everyone know what happened to prevent it from happening to someone else.

For my 40th birthday party, we decided to get Persian food since we and most of our guests are Persian, and this restaurant is the closest one to us. I called the restaurant about a week prior to pre-order the food and make the rest of the arrangements.

On the day of the party, we were waiting for the food to arrive, but an hour passed and nothing came. I called the restaurant, and the manager told me that someone had called earlier and cancelled our order. I couldn't believe what I heard, and I was so disappointed in the trust I had in the business to deliver the food for one of my life milestones and the inconvenience it caused me in front of my guests.

There were no other places open at that time, so we ended up ordering Domino's pizza! To be fair, the manager called the next day and tried to explain, but he wasn't helpful at all. As I'm typing this, I am still not sure why our order...
