Chello Restaurant Wine Bar,

I agree with other critical reviews. Unfortunately, not authentic. Hugely disappointing. I’ve been eating Iranian food for 30 years. The only positive, this will be an ‘interesting’ topic of conversation with Iranian friends and family. Bread is actually Mexican Tortilla and NOT Iranian Lavash, they do not make their own bread. I also tried Sangack but it is not fresh. Food is lacking flavour and not authentic, overall presentation is not great, and staff service very slow. Tadhig was soggy and not crispy, Koobideh had a strange flavour not tasted before, starters had way too much oil sitting on top which is not normal. Really high prices for what you get. If quality and flavour are good then you don’t mind, but this was sub standard. Unfortunately it feels like rip off. I was hoping for more, and my hunt for a good Iranian restaurant in Surrey continues! Real shame, hopefully they improve otherwise I can’t see people returning.

One of the most delicious meals we have both eaten. We had starters, mains and drinks. Worth every penny. The service was friendly and in good time Will 100% go back Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Nice atmosphere ambience. The doukh was great. Everything else was terrible. We had some prawns and calamari which was our mistake really. We then had the mixed grill: the meat was offensive and the chicken was utterly flavourless. I won’t even mention the price because even if it was free, the food is hardly worth making the trip to. A new chef would be most useful. Service: Dine in
