Chortke

“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 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!”

“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!”

“Unique food that combines elements of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean. Contemporary. Difficult to put in one category. octopus was tender, although not very warm. All the appetizers were on point. scallops were delicious but four for $44. didn’t get the lamb shank however I’ve heard it’s one of the better items. The sauces and paired flavors that were in every dish were absolutely delicious. Brussels sprouts were fantastic. There is nothing wrong with anything that we received. The foie gras melts in your mouth. The octopus was tender but lacked its own flavor so make sure you use the how do you use the harissa sauce in every bite. Bonnie and Clyde’s octopus was still better. Brussels sprout flavor was unique and so much better than what we’ve had in the past. I’ve been told the pork chop and lamb shank and scallops are the best items. Daniel, the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about talking about the food. Everyone is super friendly and the decor is unique. We would go back. It is not the most quiet atmosphere nor the most romantic. The atmosphere was more casual than expected.”
