" I had the lamb shish kebob, and it tasted incredible! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved the homemade bread and the dips they provided. The atmosphere felt a bit hectic, but the staff managed to keep things running smoothly. I’ll certainly return to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Chelo was delightful. The homemade bread is incredibly fresh, and the kabob is well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The cucumber yogurt was refreshing and went well with the kebabs. The decor is nothing fancy but it definitely feels cozy. I’ll be returning for sure to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Chelo! They have the best hummus and the spicy chicken kebal is to die for! I always get large portions here which is great when you want a hearty meal. The staff is very friendly and make you feel right at home, which adds to the wonderful experience. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a good Persian restaurant can be a challenge, but Chelo exceeded my expectations! The quality of meat in the kabobs is so tender, and the rice is perfectly cooked. The service was efficient, and everyone was welcoming. My only regret is not trying their baklava; I've heard it’s amazing! I definitely plan to return to sample their full menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chelo is a cozy spot that serves delightful Persian cuisine. I found their food to be fresh and packed with flavor. The chicken kebabs paired wonderfully with the saffron rice. The staff are welcoming and provide prompt service. My only comment is that the salad could use a bit more dressing, but overall, a great experience! " (*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!
