    We chose five restaurants in Irvine to send out our mystery shoppers. They visited three Persian restaurants and two Italian ones. Caspian was an exceptional experience because it does not only begin with food but it involves music and dancers and a great show for its customers. This is one of all favorites.

    It was my first time there and I found it to be quite enjoyable. The buffet was excellent too! We were there for my girlfriend's bachelorette party.

    My office (10) went for a co-worker's birthday for lunch. Most of us had the buffet, which had a good variety of dishes to choose. My surprise was how good the salads were and the fresh vegetables. The only thing a little disappointing was the dessert, a little bland. Service was good and they kept up with cleaning our plates away. A good choice.

    We had the dinner buffet. Unfortunately many of these dishes were unfamiliar to me and there were no labels. Persian stews were featured, but impossible to know what they were. Desserts were the downfall of the meal, watermelon at room temperature and nondescript puddings of thick, unappetizing texture with overly bland taste profiles.

    i had been in this restaurant more than few times, but this time with many of my business guest was not as good. the main seating room had been closed, we were all packed in one area, difficult to pick foods (line were going opposite) and many of the food container were empty. we also barely had a server around our area to take care of our drink or offer any additional items such as desert from the menu. By the way, please change the desert in the buffet section, they don't taste good, look cheap and not a good selections. this did not gave a good impression to my colleagues which were mainly Americans. I believe you guys can do a lot better.

    Came for Norooz with my girlfriend and my mother. Girlfriend's first experience with Persian food and culture. Service was terrible. We had a reservation, but no tables were cleared. There were open tables, they were just dirty. As we stood for fifteen minutes, we eventually checked in with the staff, who noticed that in the meantime it had been cleared, we just hadn't been seated. Wait staff took a while to check in and to follow up. Mother's food wasn't cooked as requested.
