    I had a great experience at Chelokababi last night. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for dinner. I ordered the Soltani, and I must say, the meat was incredibly tender and of high quality. The service was outstanding, with the servers consistently checking in to ensure everything was to my liking. I also enjoyed the Mast Moussir, which was delicious. To top it off, they have a fantastic selection of wines. I specifically had a blend of Petite Syrah and Pinot Noir, which was great. I always make reservations, and I'm seated immediately upon arrival. Overall, a fantastic dining experience—I highly recommend it!

    Food and ambience was good. But they had run out of many items on the dessert menu for a dinner reservation at 7:30PM. Service was amazing, and overall the experience was good.

    Chelokababi has become our go to place to bring friends when we want to have a wonderful meal. We’ve never been disappointed with the food and they have the best kabobs in the area. The owner (Marian) is super friendly and generous as she has donated a gift card for the past three years to a church fundraiser that I’m involved with. We love everything about Chelokababi 👍
