Reza's - Chicago

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!

The food was good, a bit cold, probably because we were the last guest there and the kitchen was about to be closed. Service has been going down regularly, and I feel when the restaurant automatically charges 20% gratuity in the bill, they lack confidence in their service. Before Covid, they had well-trained servers.Food: 4/5

Very delicious wonderful food. Everything was great. Nicely seasoned, beautiful presentation and very generous portions. Service was efficient
