Reza's - Chicago

I wanted to revisit an old favorite, and my wife was particularly in the mood for lamb shank. Overall, we had a good meal, and the food still tasted great. However, the radish dish we ordered was a disappointment—it used to come with a generous portion of fresh radishes and plenty of cheese, but this time we received a plate with some wilted radishes and only a few pieces. The restaurant wasn’t very busy on Friday, and it no longer has the lively atmosphere it once did. In my opinion, it has lost some of its appeal compared to other Mediterranean restaurants. On the positive side, the service was excellent, and our waitress was fantastic.

Absolutely amazing! This place always provides top-notch service and an exceptional dining experience. Here’s what I ordered: the Large Create Your Vegetarian Combo, which includes Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Tabbouli, Dolmeh, Vegetarian Shami, and Couscous for $15.95; the Large Boneless Chicken Kabob served with Dill Rice for $16.95; and Reza's Kabob Combo 1 featuring Lamb Koubideh Kabob, Chicken Koubideh Kabob, and a mix of White Rice and Dill Rice for $16.95.

The Kabob Combination Dish #1 is served at an incredibly charming restaurant with warm and friendly service. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a cozy atmosphere, attentive staff, and a calming vibe once you take your seat. This establishment is perfect for social gatherings, and the surrounding area offers plenty of shopping options within a short walking distance. While their drink selection may be limited, they compensate with excellent service and high-quality food. It’s a memorable dining experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who appreciates good cuisine!

My wife and I had such a bad experience at Reza's at Andersonville. We ordered Baba Ghanoush as a starter, lentil soup and a combination platter. A bus boy brought large fried tortilla with Baba Ghanoush. When asked to bring Pita bread, he said sure andcame back in few minutes and said no Pita bread. A few minutes later, the waiter walked up to us and said sorry we don't havepita bread. I asked if it's just today or they normally don't have pita bread. He said we sometimes have pita bread andsometimes we don't. How is it possible for a Persian restaurant to not have pita bread. Our lentil soup was basically tomatosoup with some barley in it. For salad, they practically sliced a single radish in to several pieces and two very small piecesof feta cheese. Chicken and beef kabob was not very tasty either. I am not surprised the restaurant was practically empty onNavroz (Persian New Year). We are sticking with Kabobi Grill or Noon-o-Kabob. And if we really want something authentic, we goto Sarra Grill in Skokie.

We hosted our wedding here and Reza's couldn't have been more flexible and accommodating. Sam, one of the managers, is awesome. We were able to bring our own decorations and anything else we wanted. They gave us ample time to set it up the morning of thewedding, and let us come the next day to pick everything up. The food was delicious and the entire staff was incredible. Thewhole experience was smooth from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommendReza's for your next party!
