    It’s great to find an authentic Persian restaurant, family owned and operated and not a chain. The food was heavy portioned and excellent quality. I found out I’d been to the restaurant year’s previous with an almost Deja vue moment … now on my list to revisit

    The food was very good! I took my wife there for Mother’s Day. I had the lamb shank and it was cooked to perfection.

    Chelokababi is an absolute gem! The kababs are perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each bite is packed with authentic Persian flavors, and the quality of the ingredients truly stands out. The service is excellent as well—attentive, friendly, and welcoming, making the entire dining experience even better. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Persian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
