Food and service were nothing short of spectacular. We had the eggplant w/ yogurt, Lakerda (like ceviche), grilled octopus, grilled lamb chops and Profiteroles. Last one was on the house as a birthday treat :) All dishes were just super, we will definitely be back!

My friend and I both ordered the prix fixe lunch menu, and we agreed it was a good deal for the quality of the food. Appetizers and mains were especially good. We both had branzino as the entree, plus a dip and dumplings for starters. My baklava for dessert was just OK. My only additional complaint is the upcharge for several items on the prix fixe menu. I ordered an appetizer with an upcharge that I hadn't noticed, and I'd rather that everything was simply offered at the same price, even if it means leaving some items off the prix fixe menu or offering smaller portions. But overall we enjoyed our meal, and in fact, I preferred the lunch experience over dinner given it is a bit quieter in the restaurant and easier to converse.

The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.

Service was excellent- there was only one waitress but she was attentive and on top of things. Yet the restaurant was not very crowded. The food was good, and the quantities were plentiful. My one constructive comment would be that the owner was not attentive at all, especially since the place was not too busy. She should’ve greeted us at our table and made sure everything was great. She basically ignored us.

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!

Yas Restaurant's menu is a fusion of Persian and Mediterranean dishes. Since it is a family owned and run business, the menu consists of recipes passed down from generation to generation. Established in 1996, Yas Restaurant introduces patrons to traditional Persian dishes, prepared using fresh ingredients and Persian spices.If you want to try authentic Persian food, you should try Yas Restaurant's ash reshte, which is a soup, prepared using herbs and veggies, and kooko sabzi, prepared using scrambled eggs. You will not find unhealthy items on its menu, as the restaurant uses vegetables and steamed chicken. The restaurant's house specials include the zereshk polo with steamed chicken and more. Or you can try its chefs special of the day, which includes fesenjan and lubia polo.
