“ Another beautiful morning in central New Mexico and an opportunity to re-visit where the boys (and one girl) from the VA Creative Writing Group gathered for lunch one fine Thursday morning. The Chello Grill, featuring tasty Mediterranean food, a friendly staff, and a clean interesting interior, was our choice one day and we really enjoyed the experience. Just click on the following YouTube link to see why you too will never regret. https://youtu.be/lrCtvqYU26U?si=L9BXVxdYXHTDYPmK ”
“ Outstanding service the food was great and some of the best hummus in town. The khoobedeh was awesome. Great Persian place ”
“ The food is delicious, my favorite was the falafels. There's combo options and the menu is customizable. There's also vegan options. The service is good and the ambience is nice and simple. People were friendly. ”
“ Fantastic falafel sandwich with excellent hummus and generous peperoncini. So few places in Albuquerque have vegan options. Sweet staff too. Chello does not disappoint! ”
“ Surprised I haven't left a review before! Great place for authentic Persian/Mediterranean food. They have all the favorites and the people who work here are super nice. Clean and spacious seating area. Free WiFi. Tasty, fresh and healthy options! (And yummy desserts, too.) ”
“ As a Persian from Dallas, I wanted to try out Persian food in a different state. I loved my food at Chello Grill! Sorry for no food pics, the food was too good for me to stop and take pics. Maybe next time lol. The ladies that helped serve and make our food were so nice and accommodating. I ordered the chicken kebab for myself and my daughter. I was a bit sad I was a couple days short of getting the koobideh but the chicken kebabs were great. I also ordered two sides; yogurt with cucumbers and tomato/cucumber salad. Both were tasty as well! Food took a bit to arrive however it's made fresh to order so I definitely did not mind the wait. If you find yourself waiting make sure you get a cup of their lime/lemon infused water. Very refreshing! Great food, great spot, and very sweet workers! ”
“ As of this writing Chello Grill has 284 reviews. 284! They must be doing something right to garner than kind of loyalty. Friends asked me to attend lunch here. Since I love Persian food, it was a "no brainer". I was delighted. Plus, I was anxious to meet with these friends. Since it was my first time here, I wanted to start with what I consider the basics - beef kabobs & Persian rice. I have Persian friends in CA and they have previously introduced me true Persian food. Starting with these basics, I knew next time I could branch out and trust it all to be authentic. Yes, there were a few "extras" on the menu that catered to the New Mexico in us, but primarily Chello Grill is true to Mediterranean cuisine. The prices are reasonable and the customer service was excellent. They are now a regular of mine; with or without friends. No problem stopping in here and eating alone. No sharing. All to myself. ”
