Fodor's Expert Review Peter Cat

This is one of the city's oldest restaurants, with an atmosphere that harkens back to its early days in the 1960s (some of the staff may actually date from those times, too). The Chelo kebab—a simple dish plated to resemble a cello with buttered saffron rice, a fried egg, two pieces of mutton (goat) kebabs, and one chicken kebab—is wildly popular. The dining room is intimate, thanks to the small tables, with white stucco walls, Tiffany-style lamps, and soft lighting.
