Description:
Reza's doesn't look like the typical Middle Eastern restaurant. Housed in a former microbrewery, it has high ceilings and expansive, loftlike dining rooms. The Persian-inspired menu will soon make you forget all about beer. Specialties include a deliciously rich chicken in pomegranate sauce and a variety of kabobs with heaps of dill rice (although, in a nod to carb-conscious diners, they'll substitute a salad if you want). Despite the menu's meat-heavy emphasis, there's a selection of vegetarian plates, too. If you can't decide what to order, go for an appetizer combo: a generous sampler of Middle Eastern dishes including hummus, stuffed grape leaves, tabbouleh, and other standbys, nicely presented in a red-lacquer bento box. Reza's has another location in Andersonville, at 5255 N. Clark St. (tel. 773/561-1898), but the River North spot is the most convenient for visitors staying downtown.

Great old time feel mediteranean feel
-
You MUST get the pita and hummus, it's amazing (and huge). Generally the portion sizes are very large too. Two people could easily have pita/hummus and one entree and be full.

Good filet mignon poor service

The meat is good, but service sucks. The salad was not fresh. We had to wait for ever for the food or drinks to show up!

Nice restaurant but I think it has identity issues
-
Good restaurant, the food was pretty decent but I think it tries to be too many things. Is it a buffet, is it a sit in, is it Persian, Lebanese, what? I guess I'm more used...
