I recently dined at Chelo Persian Restaurant, and I must say, the food exceeded my expectations. The kebab platter I ordered was not only visually stunning but packed with flavor. The koobideh kebab (ground meat) was perfectly seasoned and tender, while the jujeh (grilled chicken) was juicy with a subtle saffron aroma that made every bite irresistible. The rice was fluffy, with just the right amount of saffron on top, balancing the dish beautifully. The charred tomatoes and grilled peppers added a delightful smokiness, elevating the overall flavor profile. The sides of pickled vegetables and fresh herbs brought a refreshing contrast to the rich meats. Overall, this dish was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Chelo Persian Restaurant truly delivers an authentic taste of Persian cuisine, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty, flavorful meal. Rating: 5/5

Interesting menu with a lot of different options. The stew I had was lovely and the rice to go with it was the best I’ve had in a long time with a generous portion. The baklava for dessert is home made and highly recommended and also the ice cream was great. Overall a great find with friendly service.

First time we've eaten Chelo's gorgous food and we were impressed. We had our food delivered by Deliveroo, food came quickly and it was excellent quality. We really enjoyed what we had, chicken was succulent, lamb stew was very tasty we were very happy with every dish we ordered.

This is our first time eating at this restaurant and it was fabulous. Adjacent to the newly, refurbished Royal Cinema. The Manager and staff were friendly and attentive and explained the menu. It was spotlessly clean and a good atmosphere. Food was beautifully presented and good value for money. Parking is a problem but that aside - we enjoyed a delicious meal and will visit again.

Was very quiet on the day we dinned here, the food was good and the speed of the service was good however was made to feel very rushed to leave by a member of staff considering there was no one else there at this point in time. I wouldn’t visit again solely due to that.

Glorious smattering of food provided, bossman serving really seemed to know his stuff too. Spanish ham so good it almost made me forget about the Euro final. Nearly a week later and my dairy intolerant self is still fighting off the consequences of yamming so much cheese in one rather large sitting but to be fair that’s my own fatty fault.

Chelo has become our favourite place for lunch when I visit my Sutton Coldfield friends. At lunch time it has a calm, quiet, and relaxed air where we can take our time chatting over four or five dishes and catching up on what has been happening. Usually there are other groups like us doing the same, without pressure to eat up and leave. I have been a fan of North African and Middle-Eastern food for a long time, influenced by visits to various places and countries over the years, and Chelo's food is just as I would expect, prepared to order and beautifully presented. If you aren't familiar with the dishes the staff take time to explain them. Highly recommended.

We got the platter for £40 which I think is amazing considering your spending £20+ on burgers and fries nowadays. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you 😊

I was there with my family and I have to say we will never go back again. The food was 0k but service was horrible and they charged us 20% when we didn't get any service at all. We had our hands up for the whole time and none of the employees came to see what we needed. We had ordered appetizer but they never brought any bread and we wanted water but no one ever came to bring us water. All together a horrible experience.

I recently visited Chelo, a Persian restaurant which I believe is a branch of Colbeh. The food menu and taste were exactly the same as Colbeh Hagley Road, where I have been going for the past 6 plus years. Overall, the experience was good. The only downside was that the table was very compact and struggled to fit all the dishes for a party of 4, but we managed. The food was a solid 5/5.

Wow! I've never been before but I'll definitely return! The food was sensational! Fresh, tasty, authentic, I could go on! Portions are generous, so between 4 we shared 3 starters. We then had the platter, which says serves 2-3, but with that and a tabbouleh salad, there was more than enough, and we took the leftovers home. Great service, very friendly, lovely little place. 2 of us drank, lots of wine, 2 of us had coke and a pot of Persian tea. We spent less than £120! Very impressed!

Just a quick review, as I already gave a detailed review last year: You will be pleased to hear that Cielo is still excellent! Lovely comforting stews, lamb done to perfection, and the best hummus I've ever had. Generous portions of lovely saffron rice. Keep up the good work! I think we have a new family tradition of a pre-Christmas Persian lunch. See you next year!

My husband and I visited on a Friday evening. The food was underwhelming and incredibly bland. I ordered a grilled chicken dish with saffron rice. The chicken was dry and tasteless with a mountain of rice on the side and a portion of dried out pickled cabbage. Not great value for £20. There are much better places nearby. I won't be returning.

We were recommended Chelo and we were not disappointed. The food was truly amazing, the different marinades, sauces, herbs and spices rang through the mixed grill, the feta salad, the dips and sauces. We finished with baklava and frozen cream pistachio and rose water ice cream followed by mint tea. Sublime! The lady who looked after us was very welcoming and took time to help us through the menu with my husbands mustard allergy; changing choices on the mixed grill. Nothing was any trouble. Great food, great service and overall a great experience. Can’t wait to get back and eat more!!
