Really affordable Persian food that are large portions too. Their chicken kebab was my favorite overall. I got it in the chicken sultani. The meat was juicy and flavorful. I also tried the beef kubideh, zereshk polo with chicken, hummus, mirza bademjan, and tah digh. Avoid the tah digh (crispy rice), it wasn't good at all. The zereshk polo with chicken was half of a chicken and the rice that came with it is more sweet with the cranberry. The mirza bademian was mild in flavor and tastes a bit more like tomato. Overall, the portions were good and the food was tasty!

The food here is so good, I'm glad I convinced my friends to come here. We came in on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Our waitress was so sweet, friendly, and so helpful with giving suggestions. The restaurant itself is HUGE and there is plenty of seating every where. We were given complimentary pita and well as some fresh vegetables and cheese to start off with. We also ordered a small hummus which was so smooth, creamy and garlicky. It paired so well with the crispy, yet fluffy pita. For entrees we got the chenjeh prepared medium well and the Kubideh Combo. The chenjeh platter doesn't look like much but the meat was tender, and slightly peppery. The rice was flavorful and the grilled tomatoes provided a refreshing side to the dish. The Kubideh Combo came with a beef kebab and a chicken kebab. We also asked to substitute some of the rice with a persian salad. The beef kebab tasted like a beef meatball. The chicken kebab was much more flavorful and tender. The persian salad was super refreshing and went well with the kebabs. We also ordered some garlic sauce which was fluffy and super garlicky (my favorite flavor). Will definitely be returning!

Kasra my ultimate fave Persian restaurant! With 3 locations now, this has been my OG Place for my beef kubideh. Their meat is seasoned to perfection, along with the service always being great. Noon is always fluffy along with the paneer! I think this is the best Persian food you can have in Houston!

Nut allergy warning: Several dishes do contain walnuts and pistachios, including the cranberry rice. The kashke bademjan doesn't have nuts listed, but I felt a slight tingle that may be a result of cross contamination. Time-to-Appetizers: 9 Minutes Time-to-Entrees: 22 Minutes I came with a group of six and was promptly seated around 6PM. Complimentary bread and vegetables were quickly provided, nice and piping hot! For a table of six, we ordered: Appetizer Sampler: Hummus (4.5/5), Kashke Bademjan (4/5), Mast Khiar (4/5). I personally liked the Mast Khiar the most, and some of my table liked the Kashke Bademjan the most. The hummus was unanimously enjoyed. Family Platter for Six (4.5/5): While the highlight of the platter is definitely the filet mignon, the rest of the meats were fork-seperable tender. I didn't think the rice was anything special but the chicken and beef kubideh were delicious. I wish it came with lamb as well, but what we got was plenty. Portions were huge and I believe our order (with the appetizers) could've easily fed eight people. Their Turkish tea was also very good, but the coffee was nothing special. Service was very attentive and always kept us topped up with water and anything else we needed. Overall, I see the hype. Very reasonable prices and excellent portions. I would come back!

The atmosphere is fantastic--spacious and with a private area that can be closed off for events or parties. To start, they serve fresh naan with a flavorful feta and herb spread. I tried the Beef Barj and also sampled the Beef Koobideh. Both dishes were delicious, but I especially enjoyed the Barj for its satisfying texture, as it wasn't made from minced meat. The rice was perfectly seasoned, and the portion sizes were generous. Plus, they offer refills on tea, which is a nice touch. The waiter was exceptionally friendly, and the restaurant was pleasantly calm for a Tuesday evening around 6:00 pm. We were able to relax and chat for over two hours without feeling rushed.

Went on a Saturday evening and it was super busy. After trying the food I'm not surprised as to why. They gave us some taftoon bread to start and we ordered the kashke bademjan for an appetizer. We also got the kasra combo with beef chenjeh and chicken baarg, as well as a lamb kubideh. The taftoon bread with a bite of feta, radish, and mint is so delightful. The bread came out warm and was perfect for the rainy/chilly day. (7/10) We also dipped the bread in the kashke bademjan which made it even better. The kashke bademjan was the perfect blend of creamy, savory, and a slight hint of sweetness from the grilled onions. If you are fan of egg plant dip I would definitely recommend this dish as it is an elevated version. I am glad we followed this recommendation from our server Ruben! (8/10) The kashra combo came with grilled vegetables and rice on the side and was exactly what I was looking for. The vegetables and chicken were grilled perfectly and the chicken was extremely juicy and tender despite being on the grill. The beef chenjeh was also very flavorful and tender and the lamb kubideh was the perfect addition to the meal. (9/10) Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Kasra. The ambiance is classy but still casual and friendly. The service was great and helpful with the menu and the parking lot is huge. The is also plenty of seating inside so it is a good spot to take big parties. All the food was so yummy and the portions were very generous for the price. Will definitely be back for more!

All i can say is terrific! Indoor seating with very nice patio seating Staff is very friendly and attentive The food is delicious We were a party of 4 and we all chose vegetarian Many options with meat or vegetarian A nice option was the 3 side lunch/dinner We also had appetizers Continuous bread You will not go hungry If it was close to where I live, I would definitely go once a week!

We visit Kasra every time we are in Houston. This is the only restaurant I have ever found that offers a plant-based kabob and it's amazing. Highly recommend to all vegetarians! When you sit down they bring out taftoon and a variety of herbs, cheese, and radish. Very delicious. I always get the impossible kubideh and my partner has ordered many of the different kabobs over time. You can't go wrong here. After we eat we always get hot tea to finish the meal. The service is good, they are often very busy but they don't leave you waiting. The restaurant is very nice inside with a variety of seating arrangements.
