Chelowich Kabab, located at 167 Roncesvalles Ave in Toronto, stands out as a cozy haven for Persian food lovers. As I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere made me feel instantly at home. The restaurant’s charm is bolstered by the family-run vibe, with homemade recipes that harken back to the owner’s roots in Iran.

Reviews highlight the authenticity of dishes like their unique shawarma, which boasts a delightful twist with mushroom and cheese topping, complemented by a must-try special sauce. The Family Kebab tray is another crowd-pleaser, offering a variety of freshly cooked meats alongside fragrant rice and pickled veggies, creating a feast worth sharing.

While many rave about the kabobs and hearty Ghormeh Sabzi, each visitor seems to find a personal favorite, whether it be the surprisingly delectable wings or the tantalizing, soon-to-arrive chelowich— a creative rice-based sandwich that promises a new culinary experience. Diners appreciate the warm service from the owners, Maryam and her husband, who enhance the meal with their friendly charm. Overall, Chelowich Kabab is a gem for anyone seeking genuine Persian flavors in a welcoming setting.

Visited Chelowich today with my wife. Cozy spot! Food was spot-on, felt like I was back in Iran. Cooking was top-notch, and we loved every bite. Plus, the owner's vibe was . Highly recommend!

Authentic persian food in roncy!! Not just any persian food, they have homemade recipes prepared by the "mom"-owner herself. We tried the shawarma, which has a unique taste as they add mushroom and cheese melt on top of the chicken before adding any veges or sauces. Also, the special shawarma sauce is a must try. When we talked to the "son"-owner, he shared that each and every element of the shop was made and selected by their family, which definitely reflects through the positive homely aura of the shop. I'm definitely going back to this place, especially when they launch their specialty item, the chelowich, which is a rice based sandwich, hence the name of the shop. That is something i have never tried, so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

One of my go to place for good Persian food, I was here for Ghormeh Sabzi and Lamb Kabob. I wasn’t dissapointed but Although Ghormeh Sabzi was good I would have love it more if it’s more sour. Nevet hesitate to come here and be served by Daniel.

Nice corner restaurant with reasonable price. Their kabob is really good. However, what surprised me was the quality of their wings. It was probably one of the best wings I've had in a while.

My son treated us to lunch at this new restaurant in the neighborhood. He suggested we get the Family Kebab tray so that we could try a selection of their offerings. My kid is so smart! Absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked to order. Came with two trays of rice and pickled veggies too. And Maryam Fard and her husband are so friendly. We will definitely be back. Please support this new family in their local restaurant. Food is super yummy

It was absolutely the best Persian Kabab in town! The yogurt itself was very tasty and Koobideh kabab that we had was so tender and juicy! The owners are pretty accommodating and had a great service. They even gave us a persian tea to complete the experience. Highly recommended!

The decoration is humble and simple, the host was extremely friendly and attentive, but let’s talk about the food... the food was perfect! We love Persian food and found this place accidentally. The wing was one of the best wings I’ve had in Toronto. The koobideh and chenje were wonderfully cooked but tender. The rice was a well prepared Persian rice (not Indian or Asian rice) we are glad we found a new go to place.
