This place offers great atmosphere and also very tasty Persian food. Honestly is one of my favorite Persian places in town. Small and cozy. Wonderful for lunch or dinner. I will be back here for sure. Loved their dishes and even have my favorites that will keep bringing me back here. It is worth to try and find for yourself

We had reservations for 2 on a Saturday night at 6pm. Parking was easy due to valet. We were seated immediately in a 2-seater table. I believe booths are for parties of 4. The food and service were excellent. Looking forward to going back to try other items on the menu. Took one star off atmosphere as the tables were super close together. It felt congested.

Chelo!!!! I am in love!!!! The beautiful dining room would have most likely had me coming back for a drink at a minimum.....Then I experienced the service and the food. I will be a regular. From the valet greeting us and being so kind and helpful, to the hostess, server, runners, bar staff....wow!!!!! It is very hard to go to a restaurant and find great staff everywhere you turn. Here you do! If you read any of my reviews....I am usually pretty detailed about my service experience. I think it makes or breaks the experience. Let's face it, dining out is expensive.....we have a choice where we spend our entertainment dollars. Chose Chelo! They will wow you! The food was also 5 stars. We dined on the falafel and cauliflower appetizers - both outstanding. I had the chicken kabab wit

Today afternoon we visited Chelo Persian Mediterranean in North Roswell. We ordered Mirza Ghasemi, Grilled Prawns, Chicken Bargeh, and Chicken Kebab. For the sides, we had Saffron Rice, Polo, and Adas Polo. The Chicken Kebab was good and nicely cooked. However, the rest of the dishes were unfortunately just average. The Mirza Ghasemi felt dry and lacked freshness and flavor. The grilled prawns were disappointing as well only two prawns were served for $16, and they were not very flavorful. The red sauce served with the prawns was also quite dry and didn’t add much taste. Even the pita bread seemed dry. Overall, it’s an okay place, but based on my previous experiences at other Persian and Middle Eastern restaurants, this one did not stand out. I expected better quality and flavor.

Chelo is such a hidden gem in Roswell! The food is absolutely delicious—everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. The Chelo dip with warm bread is a must-try, and the tahdig rice with its crispy golden crust is outstanding. We also loved the kebabs—tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is cozy, modern, and welcoming, making it great for a date night or a family dinner. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which really adds to the experience. Don’t skip dessert—the baklava ice cream sandwich is incredible! They also have creative cocktails that pair perfectly with the food. Parking can be a little tricky, but the complimentary valet makes it easy.
