If you’re looking for your new favorite spot, look no further than new Caspian Restaurant in Watertown! It is such a joy to see Mr. Mohsen Tehrani and Chef Haddi team up again—they’ve created an atmosphere that feels both beautifully upscale and incredibly welcoming.

The food is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, especially the Soltani and Koobideh, was bursting with flavor and made with clearly premium ingredients. You can really taste the care in every dish! And please, do yourself a favor and try the traditional Persian ice cream—it’s the perfect sweet ending. Whether it’s for a special night out or just a craving for top-tier Persian cuisine, Caspian is the place to be!”

They were very nice, kind and hospitable. The Persian chef personally came and greeted us in the middle of the meal. We got a kashk bademjan and Soltani kebab. The koobideh was very nice and authentic. They gave us a mast o khiar (Persian tzatziki) and extra rice on the house because of a little time that we were waiting as there was a full house on Valentine’s Day.

Amazing food and such a wonderful experience! My husband and I went for dinner with my father and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started with the Salad Shirazi and Kashke Bademjoon, both of which were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The Kashke Bademjoon was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned — one of the best we’ve had.

For our main dishes, we ordered the Beef Soltani dinners and they did not disappoint. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, and everything came out beautifully presented.

On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was kind and attentive, making the whole meal feel special. You can truly taste the care and quality in every dish.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Persian food and a great dining experience!

Absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious—rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was comforting and full of authentic Persian taste.

What truly made the experience special, though, was our server Rosie. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely generous with her time and recommendations. She made us feel at home from the moment we walked in and checked on us throughout without ever rushing us.

Great food, great service, and a really warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back

The best service around. We drive almost an hour to enjoy the quality most tasteful Persian food offered here.

We started with Tahdig topped Gheimeh which was absolutely amazing.

We had the Mast-o-moosir (yogurt and shallots) appetizer with warm bread which was just like my mother in law used to make….maybe better but let’s not share that lol.

The waitress was amazing which I honestly appreciate as much as the food.

The food arrived piping hot and absolutely delicious. We have tried many Persian restaurants and this is by far the best.

The Persian ice cream for dessert is creamy and perfectly balanced.

Most definitely worth a try. Trust me, once you have the food here , you will return!!

Review: Caspian Persian Cuisine (Watertown)
​Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(The extra star is for the food coma I’m currently enjoying.)
​If you want to leave a restaurant smelling like a high-end saffron candle and carrying enough leftovers to feed a small cavalry, Caspian is the spot.
​The Highlights:
​The Bread: A literal sheet of dough the size of a twin mattress. It’s warm, pillowy, and puts all other appetizers to shame.
​The Meat: The Koubideh is so juicy it should come with a structural integrity warning. It’s seasoned to perfection and disappears way too fast.
​The Tahdig: That crispy rice is crunchy gold. I would trade my first-born for a plate of it, and the staff serves it with the kind of “aggressive hospitality” that makes you feel like family (the favorite child, specifically).

Excellent Persian food with proper portions and great service.

The koobideh and barg were just right.

Amazing food , everything was fresh and delicious. My only complaint is that their lunch menu is from 12-3pm … we walked in at 3 pm. on the dot . No one else was there, and they wouldn’t honor it even after spending $100 between two people .

I have eaten at these owners restaurant when it was Mirage in Framingham/Natick, at Molana in Watertown, and now at Caspian.

There’s a simple reason.

The food is tasty, the service excellent, and the ambiance is comforting.

A request: if you are ordering takeout, please call them directly — restaurants are a low margin business and direct orders help the establishment.

I have long gone back to a vegetarian only diet but when I went to Caspian, I couldn’t resist the chicken kubideh. As good as always.

Thank you for reopening

We had an incredible first experience at Caspian. The chicken barg was unbelievably tender and well-seasoned; the rice with carrots and orange peel was so delicious that even our picky preschooler loved it and kept taking more from our plates; the lamb was tender and juicy; and the yogurt with cucumber and mint was refreshing. The best part of the night was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere for which we thank our kind, knowledgeable, funny server Rose (thank you Rose!). We look forward to returning soon.
