First time trying Chelo Kebab — completely converted

I had never tried Chelo Kebab before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The sweet-sour with pomegranate taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. barberries is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a Persian New Year nowruz celebration setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. My server recommended fresh pomegranate juice alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Chelo Kebab. Outstanding first encounter.
