" I had heard good things about Chelo and was excited to try it. Their lentil soup is fantastic and comes complimentary with the meal! The portions of kebabs are generous, and grilled to perfection. However, the service was a bit slow, which disappointed me slightly. Overall, a solid experience, just work on the speed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chelo for the first time today. Overall, it was a pleasant experience! The chicken kabobs were well-cooked, and the portions were fulfilling. However, the service was rather slow, and I had to wait a bit longer than expected to be seated. The lentil soup was delicious, but I wish the salad had been a little more flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed by the quality of food at Chelo. The kebabs are juicy and flavorful, and the lentil soup has a delightful hint of tanginess. I also appreciate their commitment to using fresh, homemade ingredients which really shine through in their dishes. It's a great place for a casual meal. My only complaint is that sometimes the wait can be a bit longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I did not have a great experience at Chelo. The food was alright, but I felt that it was lacking the depth of flavor I was expecting from Persian cuisine. The portion sizes were adequate, but I had a long wait before my order was taken. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I’m not in a hurry to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chelo - Taste of Persia is my new favorite restaurant. Their food is simply amazing! Each kebab is flavorful, and the saffron rice adds such a delightful touch. Plus, I love the fact that they offer hearty portions. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall gem. You must try their homemade dips – they’re outstanding! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a birthday gathering catered by Chelo and it was a huge hit! The staff helped me select dishes that everyone loved, including the lentil soup and saffron chicken. They were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Everyone raved about the food and even asked for their contact details for future events. I cannot recommend them enough!
