Description

The owners of Caspian Restaurant named their business after the world's largest landlocked body of water, and their seafood servings-jumbo shrimp subsumed in onion juices, for instance-live up to the sea's salty character. Don't miss the shirin polo (rice studded with baked orange peels, pistachios and almonds).
