Yes. Caspian Catering is the name many catering clients know us by. Catering is now part of Prins Caspian, with the same people taking care of the food and arrangements.

What kind of restaurant is Prins Caspian?

Prins Caspian is a Persian family restaurant in Utrecht. Shirin and Sasan do the cooking, using fresh herbs and making everything in their own kitchen, from stews and rice to Barbari bread, ice cream and desserts.

Prins Caspian is open on Thursday and Friday from 12:30 to 21:00, and on Saturday from 17:00 to 22:00. Takeaway is available during these hours too.

Do I need to book or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome too. We recommend booking on Saturdays and for larger groups so you can be sure of a table.

Thursday and Friday centre on stews with saffron rice. Saturday is for kebabs from the grill. Starters, side dishes, desserts and drinks appear on both menus.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available and change regularly. We often prepare a vegetarian or vegan version of one of our stews. Ask when booking or at the table what is available that day.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary requirements?

We accommodate allergies and dietary requirements where possible. Mention them when booking and again at the table so we can advise honestly about ingredients and possible cross-contamination.

Can I order takeaway or delivery?

Dishes can be collected during opening hours. For larger orders and delivery, use the catering enquiry so we can discuss the options.

Is the restaurant suitable for groups or celebrations?

Yes, groups are welcome. For a larger party we can compose a menu that lets everyone taste several dishes. Reserving part of the space can also be discussed.
