Reviews for Caspian Bistro and Gourmet Marketplace in Minneapolis, MN

Goodness the kabobs! Omgoodness. My firm belief still holds. No one knows how to do meat quite like the Persians. The food is... OUT OF THIS WORLD. However, I must say, that the highlight of the meal for me was the tart cherry tea. It blew my mind and Iwill be coming back for more of it and the kabobs soon! Read more

The food is absolutely delicious, and the employees are so sweet. It is always so pleasant to have a meal here. It is very homey... inside, with beautiful artwork everywhere. I have eaten here a couple of times, and the gyro plate is a go-to. The pomegranatewings are very crispy and delicious. Highly recommend! Read more

The store is great. So many different things. The restaurant was very good. We didn't care to much for our food but that was on... is not them. We like trying new things. The white drink was to salty for us. Read more

Absolutely incredible food and atmosphere. With an outdoor patio, grocery section, and tons of art lining the walls, you will... feel transported during your dining experience. The food was as beautifully presented as it was delicious; I?ll let the photosspeak for themselves. I will say, the falafel were somewhat spongy and seemed reheated. I?m not sure if that texture wasintentional. But everything else from the kebab to the gheimeh was spectacular. My only other gripe is that it took more than15 minutes to get our check, seemingly due to a lack of staff. We were waiting to get going and were not really being noticed.Eventually we went to the front counter to pay. Nevertheless, Caspian Bistro is a staple Persian restaurant, one of if not thebest in the area, and for good reason has been there for years. We tried a broad selection of the menu and nothing disappoints.A bit pricey, but given the quality and atmosphere, I feel you can?t go wrong treating yourself here with friends and family. Read more

WOW - simply delicious and fantastic service. Both of our servers were SO kind, thoughtful, cheerful, and attentive. The food... was phenomenal. My colleague and I are on a work trip and have been having the worst time finding good food; Caspian Bistro blewus out of the water. Everything was fresh and warm, the rice was cooked perfectly (of course), the guava juice was to DIE for,and it was some of the best hummus I?ve tasted. We ate until we thought we would die and still have SO much food left to bringto work tomorrow. Easily the best restaurant I?ve been to in ages. The interior decorating is also very charming!

Haven?t had the opportunity to eat in the restaurant yet, but my wife and I have picked up food twice. Both times have been out... of this world delicious and absolutely amazing. Can?t put into words how great the food and staff are. 10/10 would recommend anda must try if you?re in the area! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to try food from another part of the world!

A wonderful discovery! A feast for my eyes, taste buds and wanderlust. I have been craving Persian food? Caspian absolutely met... my desire for sweet, bright, tangy, savory flavors. We ended up ordering more than we could consume in one sitting; leftoversare not a problem. The hosts and staff were so very pleasant, gregarious and helpful in advising what are the housespecialties. The best surprise: beautifully brewed, spiced after dinner tea with figs drenched in subtle sweet jam? all madein-house. We took our sweet time perusing through the market afterwards. No regrets on the bounty of international goodies thatcame home with us. Definitely must come back with family and friends for another round! Read more

I?ve heard so many great things about this place and the food. I decided to give it a try. The customer service was great,... everyone working there were super friendly. That?s the reason I?m giving them a 3 star, because while the service was great, thefood, unfortunately, was not the best. I ordered eggplant appetizer, (I am a huge fan of eggplants cooked all sorts of ways) soI thought I can?t go wrong. I took one small bite and was going to puke, it tasted horrible. Husband later told me it was cookedwith sheep fat and that?s the reason it tasted the way it did (I am absolutely disgusted with anything sheep, I can?t stand thetaste). I ordered chicken wings dipped in pomegranate syrup and those weren?t bad. I ordered an ice cream desert, and it wasamazing until I found a piece of hair in there. All in all, I don?t think I?ll stop there any time soon. P.s. I did love thedecor and all the nice art pieces. Read more
