"Among Houston’s premier Persian restaurants, Kasra is home to some of the city’s best kebabs and Persian specialties. Start the meal with kashke bademjan, a roasted eggplant dip with crushed mint, before moving on to the restaurant’s hearty stews or rice dishes. A highlight is the zereshk polo, a half chicken braised with garlic, onion, orange, and saffron with barberry basmati rice. Skewers of filet mignon, beef, ground chicken, and lamb kebabs pair well with any order and make an ideal shareable for the entire table." - Brianna Griff
