Chef and owner Morty Parsa first opened the doors to Kasra in 1999 at its original location in Westchase. ย Since the beginning, he has upheld an important standard to, “serve the most authentic Persian food with the best quality ingredients.
Good spot for some Persian grilled food. The restaurant is quite spacious and is decorated pretty nicely which definitely enhances the experience. We went with a large group and while we had to wait a long time, they were able to accommodate us. The service is pretty friendly. We got a bunch of meat items for both beef and chicken and they were generally pretty good. The rice is quite bland however and the absence of sauces make it even drier.
This is the best Persian restaurant in Houston. The food is so good. I love the bread, hummus, eggplant dip, and the stews. It is a must to add lamb shank to any stew. Lamb shank is expertly handled. There is minimal gamey taste. I have been to a lot of Persian places in the US, and no one holds a candle compared to Kasra.
Wow, where to start! The lentil soup and the hummus appetizers were the best I've had. The waiter, Christopher, assured that the hummus was the best ever made, he was totally correct! Also his table presence was very informative. The lamb shank with basmati rice, and beef with basmati rice were mouth watering and very flavorful. And for dessert, baklava and pistachio ice cream were the cherry on top. Definitely recommend this fine establishment. And will add this place as one my favorite restaurants. Rarely do leave a five Star rating.
Such an amazing place to eat! From the family atmosphere to the amazing staff and omg the food flavors wow!! So blown away by the size of servings. Definitely enough for the whole family!
