Take one Tehran-born chef sympathetic to European influences, add a contemporary dining room with tasteful nods to the Middle East, & you have Chella’s modern take on a Persian restaurant. It’s an attractive bistro-like spot, complete with wooden flooring & tables, bright cushions on the banquettes, & framed examples of Iranian art.The menu incorporates Persian classics, from ash-e-reshteh (a mix of noodles & pulses), hoummos & meatballs, via assorted kebabs to typical stews such as gormeh sabzi (lamb with kidney beans & lime). Order Chella salmon (served on asparagus with basil & parmesan sauce) for an Italian angle, & conclude with apple pie, baklava or perhaps a shisha pipe. Lebanese Château Kefraya features on the Old World-dominated wine list, & a 25-seat function room has opened in the basement.
