Chelokababi

Food is good, delicious. Ambiance is super nice . It gives an authentic feelings. Usually this restaurant is very crowded. So it’s better to reserve and go. We didit do it so we had to wait for long time. People are friendly there. The main attractive dish was chicken samosa and cucumber refreshing drink.. cream puffs were not that good

The best Persian restaurant in the bay area. Hands down. Great place for vegetarians. Parking: At the location Wait Time: Not much Ambience: Beautiful, good for family and for dates Good wine collection too and the staff is very pleasant. For vegetarians, try vegetation kebab and veg combination platter.

We went with friends on a Friday night. The crowd was decent. We were provided with a complimentary order of the pita bread with butter. The pita was soft and fluffy and hot. The butter was salted and really went well with the pita. We ordered the Mediterranean trio of the hummus, eggplant dip, and the yoghurt with walnuts and raisins for appetizer. For the mains, we ordered the Veggie Ghymye plate, veggie combo plate and outs friend ordered the chicken thigh kebab. The food was really delicious and the service was prompt. The portion size was significant. You need to order just 2 mains which can be easily shared by 3-4 people. The eggplant dip was really delicious and it had a nice smoky taste complemented by the sweetness from the onions cooked down real and slow. The hummus was really tasty as well. It had a smoky taste and a tanginess from the olives which complimented the richness from the chickpeas. The Ghymye is basically a lentil stew and came with a side of saffron rice. The stew has a mild spice level and was balanced by the sweetness which I think comes from the tomatoes or the tomato paste. Our friends really liked the kebabs. Overall the food was very tasty and the service was really good.

Had heard from a friend that this was one of the best Persian restaurants in the Bay Area. For me it was definitely standard Iranian fare, but I am deducting a star for the location and service. Parking is in a very unappealing strip mall and not widely available. Servers forgot multiple items, and though they were not on the bill they never brought it up again… super strange

Fantastic experience!! Delicious food and very fresh. The complimentary peta bread was super soft and hot, right from the oven. Lots of options for vegetarians as well!! We loved everything we ordered - vegetarian kabab, chicken samosa and joojeh kabab. The chicken samosa was surprisingly amazing - crispy on the out with tender chicken fillings inside. I love the overall ambiance of the place. The vegetarian kababs come with saffron rice which were very tasty. But the showstopper was dessert - Makhloot can’t recommend it enough. It’s kulfi with iced faluda! Loveddd it. Highly recommend this place. 5/5 no doubt!
