Had a great dinner. I highly recommend Chortke! Scallop entree was a 10+. Josh, our server, provided great recommendations from wine to apps to entrees. Already looking forward to coming back again!

My husband and I had a great meal here for my birthday ! We ordered octopus starter, I had scallops and he had lamb lollipops. Everything was so delightfully fresh and delicious ! We overheard the owner say most of the seafood had come from Boston area just a day prior and you could definitely tell with how tender the scallops were ! The atmosphere has allure, great for an intimate meal and had a couple large parties so could host a larger party as well. There was plenty of parking. Josh was our waiter and said he was new but was attentive and helpful with menu recommendations. Prices are a bit on the higher end but dont let that deter you, the quality and great service makes it worth every penny! We will be back- wehad trouble not going back later in the week !

My cousin and I had an amazing dinner At Chortke, a Persian restaurant behind the Village Gate. It was so good that we were practically the last patrons to leave.I had never had Middle Eastern food before but It it was fantastic.The restaurant is clean and has an uplifting atmosphere. The service was excellent and I was thrilled to meet the owner Yasha.I will definitely be bringing my wife and recommending my friends to give Chortke and Persian cuisine a try.The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was appetizing and flavors were different, which made it exciting.This high praise because I’m a very picky eater.By the way, the place was very busy so I recommend a reservation if you are going Friday or Saturday night.Thank you Yasha for bringing a taste of your country back to Rochester.
The food the vibe the decor is all amazing. The owner is wonderful too.

We enjoyed a splendid and delicious dinner at Chortke. Our meal featured any number of fascinating and tasty spices and seasonings. All of our selections were beautifully prepared, and were served very professionally. Chortke's menu offers a delightful array of inspired selections. We intend to return for another dinner very soon.
Excellent Persian restaurant. Everything was very fresh with depth of flavors. The bread and olive oil were exceptional - crust of the bread has a nice mild garlic flavor and the oil had spices include saffron. Had the hummus toast - thought it would be just hummus, but more depth of flavor. Cauliflower side - perfect roasted char and nice sauce. Had the scallops entree - again nice sear with an excellent sauce. Service was attentive with solid recommendations. Also loved the vibe - the rattan on the ceiling and lamp shades dampens the noise level and the paintings on the walls are nicely done. Will definitely return.

This place is INCREDIBLE. When I get an opportunity to try a new place, I look for the perfect bite throughout my meal. The kind of bite that makes you stop, close your eyes, and take it all in . I enjoy finding the perfect flavors, mouth feel, and aroma. EVERY bite was a perfect bite. From the apps to the main dishes and even the sides. My wife and I had goose bumps. Incredible food, the staff was very friendly and inviting and the atmosphere is excellent. I CANNOT wait to go back and try more of the menu.If this is an option for your dinner, choose Chortke.
This place is amazing across the board. The ambiance is warm and authentic. The owner is an absolute joy -he stopped by our table, so gracious and humble. The food is absolutely divine. We enjoyed the Shrimp Kofta and Gerogian Cheese Bread for appetizers. My wife had the lamb lollipops (succulent and cooked perfectly) and I had the Scallops entree (fresh with a beautiful sear). The staff here is super friendly, professional, and you feel like you are at someone’s home and never feel rushed. The food came out quick and piping hot. This is an excellent place to dine if you’re looking for a great night out. Wish I could give this place 10 stars.

Food and service are outstanding!! I love the new look, especially the lamps. Everything on the menu is incredible. It was my first visit since they renovated the interior and changed the menu from casual to upscale. I'll be back again really soon!

The new Chortke as a fine dining experience = WOW!!!! Just amazing what they did with the interior decor and the food! The most BEAUTIFUL decor of any restaurant I've been to. Additionally, the food was simply outstanding. Loved every single item!Scallops were the best I've had in my life (and I don't say that lightly). Get them! And the lamb shank, kebab, beet salad were my favorites. Dessert is a must-have: Panne Cotta was incredible as was the mango sorbet. So unique and so delicious!Everyone needs to check this place out. It’s a rarity
