Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. We can’t find a single thing we didn’t like and will be back again many times. You MUST try the octopus and lab shank. Every bite is just so flavorful and well crafted. This is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Rochester and the best restaurant I’ve been to anywhere in years. Our server Daniel was incredible and really added to the experience, he was extremely personable and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back here.

I ADORE Chortke. Easily one of my favorite nice restaurants in Rochester. I've never gone here and gotten something I didn't love. The ambiance is amazing and the service is always prompt and pleasant. Last time we stopped in was for Valentine's Day. I got the lamb shank and my boyfriend got the scallops and everything was delicious. I love how herbaceous their sauces are.

We had such an amazing experience this evening. The staff was incredible, our server Dan was outstanding, Yasha the owner stopped by to say thanks to us and the food was unbelievable. The attention to detail, food presentation and depth of flavor was spot on. It is phenomenal. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or for those die hard foodies.

Atmosphere? 100%. Decor? 100%. Ambiance? 100%. Customer service? 100000%. I’m still sitting at the restaurant, could not wait to write this review. The food was phenomenal. Daniel, our server was so awesome. He provided great recommendations. We had the Spanish octopus to start: 9.5/10. We had the lamb shank 1000/10 and pork chop 100/10, with a side of Brussels sprouts 100000/10. For dessert we had toasted Kataifi and omg 1000/10. I’m not even exaggerating. Everything was great. The owner came to greet us as we came from NJ. It was amazing. I’d come back in a heartbeat. And PS: The saffron syrup in the dessert is imported…CHEFS KISS!!

Hands down the best meal I have ever had in Rochester. We had the pleasure of having Natasha as our server for the evening and her recommendations were perfection. The lamb lollipop appetizer was the most incredible flavor explosion. The fillet was cooked to perfection and my scallops were so buttery soft. And the dessert! My goodness, so unique and tasty. I’m already trying to figure out how soon we can get back so we can try more. The absolute cherry on top of the evening though was getting to meet the owner, Yasha. He came over to greet us and he is such a bright light and pure soul. How lucky we are to have Yasha and his wife as members of our community. Chortke has moved to the top of our list for recommendations, it is a must try experience for sure!

My fiancé and I enjoyed a special evening here and it was absolutely wonderful! A night we will never forget…. Our server Daniel, made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. He helped us pick some amazing dishes from the menu to enjoy. The owner, Yasha, made a point to come over and check in with us after our meal to see how we liked it. We shared how wonderful it was and then he asked us about dessert… We told him we didn’t order dessert and he insisted we have one… on the house! The dessert was INSANE. I’ve never tasted anything like it before! I’m so grateful for the beautiful night filled with amazing foods and memories that Chortke gave my fiancé and I :))) We will definitely be back!

We had such a great first experience at Chortke and are already looking forward to going back. The space feels warm and inviting with a really comfortable, welcoming vibe. The Persian-inspired dishes were incredible. They had so much flavor, were beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was memorable. Nadia, our waitress, was wonderful; she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made the whole night even better. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is beautiful inside this restaurant. Our server was great and his recommendations were on point. I ordered the pork chop and it was absolutely fantastic. My great aunt ordered the lamb chop and she was raving about it. My wife ordered the scallops with grapefruit would seem to be an odd pairing but ended up being amazing. One of the best meals I've had in many states. I would highly recommend this spot. We loved that they also sold local wines from the Finger lakes

My husband and I enjoyed our Valentine's dinner at Chortke this year. Every dish was incredible and the service was impeccable. Natasha was our server and the owner/chef came to chat at the end of our meal. The crab cake was one of the best I've had in Rochester and my scallop dish was perfection. My husband had the lamb shank and it was falling off the bone. We loved the signature dessert, it was very unique. We will be back!
