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.

This was my second time dining at Chelokababi. The staff is friendly and attentive making good suggestions. We had a variety of appetizers entrees and desserts that we shared, all of which were delicious. The atmosphere reminds me of dining with family.

Great little Persian food spot tucked away off S. Wolfe Road. Ambiance was warm, inviting and busy for a Sunday evening. Service was attentive, food was seasoned, portioned and presentation wonderful! Can’t wait to return and try other menu options!
