    It was quite a nice surprise. I had heard about the tea here and wondered about tea at a Persian restaurant. So pleasantly pleased. The tea room is separate from the restaurant. It is decorated beautifully with bone china cups/saucers/teapots, etc. and items from other countries. Our service was fantastic. Everything we were served was explained in detail. The courses were spaced in a good manner and we left feeling quite full. Their tea options were plentiful and the two we tried were wonderful. From the smoked salmon on olive bread to the very delicious scones it was a perfect afternoon exprience.

    Food quality is very decent, the staff is very friendly and attentive. We love coming to Chelokababi for Kabab Torsh, Kashke Bademjan, and Fesenjun, but everything is tasty. Also the decor and atmosphere is authentic and gives you the feeling of the Iranian culture. They gave us complimentary tea and sweets which was very generous of them. Love it and can’t wait to come back!

    Came here with a party of six for dinner service. Ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful and authentically Persian. I had the shish kabob, which was delicious. We finished up our meal with a saffron tea which was soothing as well.

    We experienced the tea time. The owner came to our table and talked to us and explained her family business to us. Very sweet lady and made us feel at home. We have also eaten at the restaurant twice, we will definitely be back.

    This little jem offers consistently great food. I recommend the lamb if your looking for something other than the usual Middle Eastern kabob fair. If you're looking for something a little more quiet and intimate, ask for a booth when making your reservation. Parking can be a little tight Friday night.
