Caspian Cafe

I had a Groupon for this place and invited some good friends for dinner of one that had to leave by 9pm to go to work so he thought 6:30 would have been safe enough but wrong it was.
The food is really good but if it is busy be prepared to wait at your table for about 2.5 to 3 hours for your main course. If service was better I would have given all 5 stars. This was the worst service I had ever experienced at a restaurant.
We had 4 in our group We had 2 appetizers Hummus and Spinach Artichoke Dip both tasted fantastic. 2 had the Chicken Kabob dish 1 had Salmon Kabob dish and I had the Stuffed Hawaiian Swai. We all said they tasted great.
If we would have BYOB it would have made the wait more palatable. 99% of the tables did just that. As someone else said the food is not precooked so expect the wait. I watched the cook who I believe is the owner cooks per table at a time.

Like Elkin whose review I read, I do feel bad writing this one, but it must be done.

I live a mile away from this place, and I always see it on Groupon. I finally bought one tonight, wanting to eat out on a Friday night.

My husband and I went here for the first time, and we got extremely disappointed.
It took ten minutes for the waitress to get our order, 25 minutes to serve the appetizer, an hour to serve the entree. After food was served, we had to ask for napkins and utensils.

The food was so tasteless. I love Mediterranean food. I've lived and traveled  all over the Mediterranean region and unfortunately, the food here was the worst I've ever had. I am not sure where the four and five stars on these Yelp reviews are coming from.

My husband said I should give them a break, and should give credit to the owner who takes time to talk to the customers. Yes, I can give them credit for that.

But I think there is no excuse for the experience I had tonight - and obviously I'm not the only one. Very slow and poor service, less than tasty and overpriced food.

Went here tonight because of a Groupon, and were really not sure what to expect due to the mixed reviews it received. Well, we were not pleasantly surprised. It took us over two hours to eat! This is a small place that serves simple Mediteranean food, so it should not be this slow. At a point the only person in the kitchen, I think it was the owner, came out and talked with people at a table while the rest of us were waiting hours for food. You can see into the kitchen, and he was the only one in the kitchen cooking. We sat for ten minutes before anyone came to our table, and then when we gave our appetizer order it took twenty minutes for that to come out. The Caspian nachos were tasty, but still not worth the wait. The entrees which were chicken stuffed with spinach and cheese, and crab stuffed shrimp took another hour to come out. My wifes chicken was alright, but the shrimp was terrible. Over cooked, small, and I swear the shells were glued on, but at least the broccoli was under cooked. I love to support small local buisnesses and wanted to like this place, but they really need to learn how to operate a restaraunt. Slow service and dicey food, no thanks.
