Finding the best Chelo Kebab in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Chelo Kebab I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled dried limes with genuine knowledge and the rich and saffron-gilded result was noticeably superior.

Iranian cuisine has a 3000-year recorded history with influences on Arab, Turkish, and Central Asian cooking. The winning restaurant had the right a communal sofreh tablecloth feast feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. fresh pomegranate juice was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Chelo Kebab is made properly it's a completely different experience.
