Kasra Persian Grill

During our most recent trip to Houston, we were taken to this restaurant, and boy, was it a nice time! To start out, the restaurant was very nice inside, and one thing I definitely noticed was the interesting art of the walls. Seating wise, there was plenty of space, and we chose to sit in their indoor/outdoor patio section.Our waitress was top-notch. She was incredibly friendly, attentative, and overall made us feel very welcomed. Food wise, this experience was different than persian food that we've had in the past, though it was different in a good way, and it felt more authentic. The bread that served complimentary tableside was light on flavor but was still nice. We didn't order any appetizers and instead skipped straight to entrees. We ordered the beef kubideh, the chicken sultani, the lamb kubideh, and the lamb chops. They were all extremely tasty and unique, and you really can't go wrong with any of these, though my favorite was either the lamb kubideh or the chicken sultani.If you are looking for a different Persian cuisine experience, I'd definitely recommend trying this place out!

Good Mediterranean food within the city. The service was quick and they were helpful to give suggestion when we weren't sure what to order. The inside was pretty empty when we went for a weeknight dinner, so service was very attentive. There's plenty of seatings for small or large parties. Their menu is pretty extensive so there's something for everyone!

The food is WOW WOW WOW! I mean the flavors of the sour cherry rice and dill rice with the meats! The service is good and the ambience is wonderful! Definitely come try this place! Its like in my mind the closest thing to going to Iran! WOW! SOOOOO GOOD!!!

I'd visited this place over 25 years ago and I was totally surprised that they were still here and had expanded. I was told they are expanding again by March this year. The ambiance is so lovely here. We visited for lunch during the week. The wait staff was just amazing. I don't recall the waiter but from my observation the wait staff appears to be very attentive to all the customers as this one was. I really can't wait to visit at dinner next time. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious and well prepared Persian food. The food here is so delicious tender and at the right temperature. I love the rice and saffron! I could eat a plate of their rice.

My favorite Persian restaurant! There are so many things I like here... the beef kubideh, the jujeh (Cornish hen), their dill basmati rice, and their garlic sauce are just a few of my favorites! And let me reiterate their garlic sauce is divine if you like garlic! If you like lamb their lamb shank is delicious as well. They make their bread in house and everything is always so fresh. The service is great. If you have a big group you can try make a reservation (not sure if possible) but if it's a small group I'm for sure that it's first come first service. If you're wondering what doogh (a yogurt, mint & mineral water drink) tastes like ask for a sample and they will gladly give it to you. It's definitely not for everyone but I enjoy it.

HOUSTON, TX 77042 / PERSIAN / FRI 10-06-23 / DINNER, Party of 3 adults & 2 kids+The customer service was excellent. Marco was an awesome waiter.+The meats were seasoned and cooked well.+The dill rice was nicely prepared.-The Kasra combo only came with 3 pieces of beef but lots (7 pieces) of chicken, so the menu is a little misleading.-The lamb chenjeh's price is a bit steep for what you get. Maybe throw in some additional grilled veggies?-Some of the plates and utensils were dirty.-The water tasted unfiltered.What we ordered:'1 appetizer sampler $10.50'1 lamb chenjeh $29.00'1 chicken kabob $13.00'1 Kasra combo $20.00Total: $93.00 post tax + tip

Recently have gone back several times and each time the food was a hit. Love the the new renovations and my taste buds are excited once again. The old Kasra flavors are back and they are a hit.

First time at Kasra and loved the ambience and the interior of the restaurant. This is located in Rice Village so perfect to have a stroll before or after. The service was fantastic and they were always ready to refill our drinks and bring us more bread. For the food, we ordered the appetizer sampler with hummus, mast khair, and mast labu. The hummus was probably the best hummus I've had in terms of flavor and smooth texture and paired so well with the soft bread. The other two dips were interesting but not my favorite. For entrees, we ordered the Kubideh combo and Kasra combo. The portions were very large with rice that was fluffy and aromatic. The meats were also tender but I would have liked a bit more flavor and vegetables. This was my first time trying Persian food and was very delightfully surprised by the flavors. Will come again to try their other dishes!

لذیذKhosh-mazeh! Met some friends for a Saturday lunch and was pleasantly delighted. Nestled in a busy plaza full of businesses and restaurants, the place was spacious and beautifully decorated.It was not packed but there was quite a lot of business and it was steady. Seated quickly. Our server was Ali, and he was a delight. Very helpful and pleasant. He was attentive but not overly in our space. My friends had been there before so they immediately ordered hummus.They brought us complimentary Taftoon bread and a bowl toppings. The bread came out piping hot and delicious and paired so well with the hummus. The hummus was delicious and fresh. Ordered the Kasra combo - choose two of either beef chenjeh, chicken barg, salmon, or shrimp. served with grilled vegetables, dill & fava bean basmati rice - so I chose the beef chenjeh, salmon and subbed basmati rice. I also ordered a half skewer of the chicken kabob. I knew I'd be talking home half of this for dinner.There is a cranberry rice my friend suggested but I was unsure and he gave me a taste of his and it is pretty fantastic. Next time.The beef chenjeh was very tasty. It was my favorite protein which is unlike me because I normally prefer chicken but this beef was flavorful, juicy and tender. The salmon was nicely cooked and tasty. The chicken kabob was grilled perfectly. It was tender but not overcooked. Everything paired nicely with the rice. Everything about this place was perfection. The atmosphere, decor, cleanliness, food quality and portion, staff and overall energy. Two people stopped to check on us (I think one might have been the owner and the other a manager) very subtle, not in your face but smooth and respectful. They both politely thanked us for coming.This is definitely a place on my list. Before I even got in the car, I was thinking about who I could bring next. I am sure I sat in the car and texted about 20 people before I even drove off. Will def be back. (I gave a small sample box to my 86 year old father who mostly eats Chinese food. He had never even heard of Persia (sorry) but he said the food was good and tender and he enjoyed it! If you know my dad, this was a major compliment)

I went back recently and this place is 5 stars. The food was outstanding and the service was good. It looks like they renovated since the last time I have been there (probably about 5 years ago).Lovely place and the price is fair.I am changing my review from 3 back to 5 stars.
