Master Critic Review

Shukette 8.4
Chelsea
Chelsea’s buzzy Levantine grill house, built for sharing: bright dips, vegetable mezze, and charcoal-kissed skewers land with high flavor density. The room is loud and kinetic, reflecting its open-kitchen energy, but the cooking stays focused and confident. Ideal for groups that want a modern Middle Eastern feast without losing authenticity.
Must-Try Dishes: House breads with dip trio, Charcoal-grilled lamb or chicken skewers, Seasonal mezze and salads
