Reza's Restaurant

This restaurant offers great Persian/Middle Eastern-influenced food, and has an extensive menu.

Decor/Ambiance: The place is as huge as its menu, as a brewery existed before the restaurant. Bar area has big fat comfy leather chairs, and dining area is great for huge groups. It’s clean and upscale, but you can still dress casual. Good for dates as well.

Service: Usually good.

Food: Menu is solid throughout. I almost always get the Fessenjan duck though. There’s also a buffet (weekday lunch and weekend brunch) that’s good bang for the buck.

Reza’s has very good food and very good service to go with it. My father showed me it a while back and now I bring my special people there from time to time. Its a must try

Being Iranian…more specifically Persian, its hard to convince me that any restaurant persian food could be better than the dishes that my mom and grandma make. Reza comes pretty damn close, no offense ladies. The portions are always huge and your leftovers will last you a few days after you leave stuffed. Dont expect a wide range of spices and flavors because indian food this is not. Consider the persian food served here as the barbeque pit of the eastern cuisines so your meats will have a delicious grilled and smokey taste. A lot of people get hung up on the fact that the service is a little slower than most places, but thats because of the time it takes to cook the fresh meat dishes. Soups, bread and goat cheese will more than fill you up while you wait. I’ve been eating at the two different reza locations for 10+ years and never had a bad experience with the food, staff or even the valet parking. I think you’ve figured out im a big fan, but i swear the owner didnt pay me to say all these things!!!

I know a lot of people had great experiences at Reza’s but I just have to share mine. I went with a big group of friends (12 of us) and we had really bad service. On top of that all of our food were lukewarm. I had heard a lot of great things about this place so I was very disappointed.

Reza’s runs quite a few commercials in the Chicagoland area with the primary claim that they have something for everyone. At first, I was a little hestitant to try it because you rarely see commercials for good restaurants. But I have to say that I’m pretty impressed. They really do have something for everyone. And if you like kabobs, they have a lot of something for you.

As soon as you walk in, the first things you notice are:

• man this place is huge
• i’m definitely going to smell like spice when we’re done

The huge location is great for large groups. The layout is really spacey and they have some really huge tables.

The menu has a wide range of vegetarian, meat (chicken, beef, lamb), and seafood.

Parking is a bit tough, but if you’re going to be sticking around the area (walking distance to quite a few nightspots) there’s a paid lot around the corner that’s $10 for the evening.

In the mood for some high-class persian food? Reza’s is the place to go. This place serves chock fulls of meat: beef, chicken, lamb, and seafood. The portions are big, the food very flavorful. Their meat dishes could do with more veggie side-dishes, though. Service was GREAT, and the environment is posh. The restaurant is also in a good location on Ontario street where finding parking is not too bad.

reza’s offers middle eastern food with an enormously wide selection of various meats (chicken, beef, seafood) and vegetables cooked a la grill or baked. the portions are equally enormous and the food is quite flavorful & tasty. i would definitely have no reservations about returning to reza’s. the decor is sophisticated, and our service was friendly, quick, and pleasant. overall, a great first time dining experience at reza’s.

One of my favorite places to eat. I love the variety of Mediterranean food and the big portions. I love the kabobs and the rice! So far so good with this restaurant.

I love Reza’s! While I think the downtown location is the best, the other location in Andersonville is pretty good too. Get the special Chicken!
