Chello Grill is a Persian-Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant located in the Pavilions at San Mateo complex next to Einstein Bagels. They focus on sandwiches, bowls, kabobs, and salads.They also have gyros; those are a Persian version of a gyro instead of a Greek gyro that Chello calls the âtraditional gyroâ.They also have a New Mexican-inspired version of a gyro where the meat has been cooked with green chile and comes with a side of green chile yogurt aptly called the âNew Mexican gyroâ. I ordered the traditional gyro, which comes with sliced lamb meat, two tomato wedges, and then a blend of diced cucumber, tomato, and onion in a folded pita.Had parsley been added to the diced vegetables mix it would have been considered their Shirazi salad, which one can also order as a side.I added feta cheese for an upcharge.The gyro came with Mast-o-Khiar, a cucumber yogurt dip, on the side.A Greek variation would be tzatziki, which is more common with gyros in America.I added french fries for $1. The gyro was almost tasteless.I actually ended up just eating the lamb slices with pieces of feta and discarding the rest of the dish.The Mast-o-Khiar didnât add anything to the meal.The fries were fine, but I would have preferred them with more salt.I guess $1 for those was fair given how forgettable they were. The cutlery was plastic and the ketchup for the fries was in ketchup packets, which gave the meal a cheap feeling even for fast-casual dining that didnât seem commensurate with the pricing. Overall, a surprisingly flavorless meal for an interesting sounding restaurant (Persian-Mediterranean!).I wouldnât recommend it or return.
Finally decided to give this place a try after seeing mixed reviews.Bella made all the difference! She was welcoming and informative.She made various recommendations and she nailed it! Definitely an asset & the place should be renamed to Bella's! The food was good & we'll be back.
