Help with Persian food
Posted on 2/14/14 at 2:58 pm

So I've tried a few Iranian restaurants and most of it has been the kabob type of food served with basmati rice and vegetables (that's about all they had at the few places I've tried)
Anyway I'm looking for some place to go either tonight or tomorrow while I'm in Houston and I'm trying to hit up food that I can't get in smaller cities. I've decided to try this place called Cafe Caspian and I see they have a decent assortment of stews.
I seem to recall a few years ago inquiring about Persian food and someone had mentioned a couple of stews that are definitely worth trying. Anyone here have any recommendations?
BTW here is the menu if anyone wants to look at it. Originally I was going to get the salmon kabob and stick with my diet but I've been pretty good today so might try something else.

TIA

Do Iranians call their food, Persian?
Cuz Persia, aint der no mo.
I don't think the Italians call their food Roman. Outside of it being from Rome(the city).

Cafe Caspian is great! I have never been Kasra but my dad loves it as well. Get the sultani. If you are ever in Baton Rouge my family owns a small place outside the north gate of of LSU called Ray House of Kabob that has persian food.
Just noticed you mentioned Stews. The Gormeh Sabzi is a favorite of mine.

Have you tried Bulgarian food. You can't find that in smaller cities, and it has many Turkish influences.
Cafe Pita+ check it out. See if you can find some pics if the food.

f you see a listing for chicken(or any other protein base) tadik order it. The dish is an Iranian dish similar to lasagna but not pasta but rice as the starch. If you are willing to brave it at home I can put a recipe on here. The term tadik come from how Iranians cook their rice to a point of being crispy on the exterior. Iranians and other Bedouin cultures don't eat at a table(on the floor with a spread of food on top of a "table cloth) or with utensils(fingers while treating the food like a pot luck) and all the while talking away in conversation.
