    The lamb shank Sabzi was the best. Amazingly large portions and excellent prices for all dishes. Great upscale dining area and atmosphere.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. We had a very good time. My favorite dish is the Barg, and they definitely delivered. The food was fresh and tasty.

    Everyone is friendly here. When I walked in the owner nicely greeted me. The food was to die for. My favorite dish is the hummus. It is the best hummus I have tried. The prices are pretty reasonable too. I 100% recommend.

    Good food, first time I have had Persian food. I always assumed Persian was the same as Greek or Mediterranean restaurants, it was similar, yet unique. The flavors and combinations were very interesting and good.

    Hands Down the best Middle-Eastern food in Houston. They have 3 locations; Westheimer, Nasa and now Rice Village. Their food is delicious, fresh and satisfying. Their hummus is the most flavorful in all of Houston. Make sure you dip the Beef Skewers in the Hummus! You'll thank me later. This place doesn't get enough love at the Nasa location...and I think it's because people are naive about it. Just go there and don't look back! This place is literally better than anything else on the Nasa 1 corridor by far. Look at everything on that table and order the same and tell your friends and family!

    Simply delicious! The basmati rice was so fluffy and well cooked. Hummus was great more on the runnier/garlicky side, but not too over powering. The bread was so fresh and delicious. Taste of beef kabob was clean and had good texture. Service was awesome and fast.

    4 stars because I had better Persian food before. The food was fresh and very good but it could be better. Food quantity is big and definitely enough. Service was fast and great. The restaurant was very clean. I love the complimentary cheese & reddish. The owner ( Iranian ) was there & he listened to our comments. I was there with my wife, We had 1 appetizer, and 1 entree meat, chicken, with rice. Plus 1 ice tea and the total was $30.50 I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I stopped here a couple of times on my last work trip. I was surprised how good the food was and the place itself was extremely clean. The complimentary bread was amazing, and the staff privovided quick service. The basmati rice and chicken kabobs were delicious. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and will be back again when in the area.

    The Lamb Shank with Dill Rice was not that bad, lamb needed some more flavor.

    😲 WOW!!! This place is absolutely DELICIOUS! I lived in Los Angeles my whole life and moved to Houston in 2019 and thought I wouldn't be able to find anything close to the quality of Mediterranean food in LA, but this place proved me wrong! The food is so flavorful and fresh! The ground beef kabob was perfectly seasoned, perfectly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside. Same for the Cornish hen. The basmati rice was fluffy, and the cucumber salad🥒 🥗 was made fresh to order and it is served with this AMAZING house dressing!! The bread! 😱 OMG that BREAD 🫓🫓🫓!!! Forget anything you think you know about pita bread. Because you haven't had real pita bread until you've tried THIS bread. And you HAVE TO ORDER THE HUMUS to dip the bread in!! Absolutely a work of culinary art! I can genuinely taste the love this place puts in making the food! There was plenty of parking, the restaurant was super clean, and our waitress Elizabeth elevated our experience with her excellent customer service & friendly attitude. My family and I will DEFINITELY be eating here again very soon!!! I can't wait to come back again. 😎✌️

    I ordered the Salmon. They brought me a nice piece of bread kind of like a pita (10”) and some vegetables to start. I ordered the humus and it was so good with the bread… The Salmon was done right and everything tasted as it should. The rice was done perfectly and the Salmon was grilled to perfection. It was tender and moist. Nice and flakey… The grilled veggies that came with it were also done just right. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was fresh and the place was very clean. The waitress was friendly and very quick to refill my tea. The food was served in a timely manner and overall a very pleasurable dining experience. I will definitely be back as often as I can. Don’t pass this one by because the menus is plentiful and they do a great job.

    Absolutely delicious meal. The naan was always fresh and went great with their hummus. I ordered the Jujeh kebab. Portions are enough for two people, but I found myself finishing the entire dish as though under a sort of trance. Every bite was better than the last. Will absolutely return. I would love to try the lamb. The owner and staff were so friendly and attentive and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Overall a great experience!!

    Kasra has to be my favorite restaurant in the Clear Lake area. The food is flavorful, the portions are big, and the hummus and cranberry rice is to die for. Sometimes the service is a little slow when its busy, but this is a minor inconvenience. You can't go wrong with the kabobs, barg, or the family platter. I am just so happy that they opened a location here on Nasa Pkwy and wish them success for many years.

    Best Persian food I’ve ever had. Meat is never dry, rice is cooked to perfection. I’ve never ordered something I didn’t like. This place is great for lunch or dinner. The portions are big so we usually have leftovers for later.

  • 5/5 Cooper S. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here as a large group for a holiday party. The food was amazing. The hummus was the best that I’ve tasted. The service was just excellent considering we were such a large group. There were definitely a few dishes I saw others have that I want to try during a future visit. Thanks so much!

  • 5/5 Ronny R. 11 months ago on Google
    Best Persian food in town and one of my favorite restaurants period! They start the meal with fresh radish, onion, mint, cheese, and warm bread. I always add a side of hummus & Mast Khair. All of the kebabs are delicious. The service is great! 5 stars.

  • 5/5 H Nida Yilmaz (. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is clean and the service was great! Food came out in good time and was fresh and delicious. Appetizers of bread and cheese, radish, and what I think was mint was absolutely refreshing. As a Türk, I love eating Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food and Kasra is always top notch in this area. I love coming here. Definitely give this place a try for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed with your meal!

    The food here was really good. They bring bread to the table, and they keep it coming when you run out. Their customer service is great as well. I highly recommend eating here.

  • 5/5 James M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible food and service. This place has the family run feel to it. We tried the family combo and could easily have fed 6. Food was great and we are stuffed. Looks like plenty for lunch tomorrow too. Do yourself a favor and try this place out.

👍👍 They have an interesting menu selection. But it works! Good price for what you get. A huge burger w a huge patty, and a huge explosion of flavors.
