    Bread and feta
    Carrie M.

    We came here with our friend who recommended this Persian restaurant. We enjoyed the complimentary flatbread and feta. The bread paired well with the hummus we ordered as the bread was dry on its own. For my entree, I got the Zereshk polo & chicken. Unfortunately, I really did not like the berries as they had an unusual odour and taste to them. I tried to remove them from the rice, but the rice still had the unpleasant taste of the berries. I liked the chicken in the tomato-based sauce as it was fragrant and very tender. My vegetarian friends weren't impressed with their entree either. They had a lot left over but only took the plain rice home. The service wasn't very attentive as they didn't fill our empty water jug of unfiltered tap water until we asked after we were done eating. Our group was five people, and they charged a mandatory 20% tip. The server didn't inform me when paying, which felt sneaky. I also didn't see it on the menu. Tipping is supposed to be for service, and the service was subpar. After mandatory tip, my meal was $20.

    Koobideh with PERSIAN SALAD
    Yasser H.

    For me, the debate is settled. Avesta is the Top Dog, but Reza did come strong with a silver. Beef Koobideh. 5/5. Succulent juicy skewers of beef kabob. Tender. Enjoyed it with salad. Combo platter 3. 4.5/5 Beef skewer with Cornish hen. Served with FF and salad. Very good. Couple pieces of chicken in the end were burnt Hummus. 4.5/5. Also delicious. Smooth creamy texture. Kashke B. Eggplant. 5/5 Rich creamy texture. It was pretty good. Mint lemonade. 5/5. I actually ordered 2. Since the first was so refreshing and thirst quenching. I had to go for seconds. Their Naan was actually better than Avesta. It just had a better flavor and texture to it. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. There was plenty of seating inside. I had a nice peaceful lunch.

    Came with friends for restaurant week! The service was great, very kind and helpful, suggested some great menu items. The food comes in large portions and sooo flavorful, we all three ate and still had plenty for left overs, the ambiance is actually VERY nice and quant would definitely come back and visit

    First time and I absolutely love the food here. By far I would say this is the best Persian food I ever had. I got the Reza #3, chicken is super juicy and the charred taste was smoky and fresh. The beef was grounded but very juicy as well. The flavor is well balanced, came with a side of salad, it was little too vinaigrette for me but my boyfriend loves it. He got the Reza #2, chicken was mostly breast I think so was more dry, but still tasted great with the hummus. Overall, the experience was pleasant and we will be back again. Service was fast and friendly, they offered complimentary hot tea at the end too, was very fragrant and refreshing after a homey meal. Interior was nicely decorated in a modern vibe, simple and aesthetic. Parking is ample. I also saw a lot of people ordering their mint lemonade, which I will try next time! Seems like it's so popular

    Reza was a delightful Persian grill that we randomly came across on a Saturday late afternoon. We were seated right away and their table already has a plate of their fresh herbs (Sabzi Khordana) waiting for you. The ambiance was spacious and well lit, but began to get loud once the dinner crowd started arriving. Their menu is pretty straight forward and very informative for someone who isn't familiar with Persian food. Everything we ordered just tasted fresh and well seasoned. - kashke bademjan (sautéed eggplant with garlic, yogurt, mint). Paired well with their special bread topped with sesame seeds (yum!) - mix stews (half ghormeh sabzi and half gheymey bademjan). Get the best of both stews if you can't decide on one. Love this option. - Reza 4 specialty (lamb chop, kubideh, chicken, with cranberry rice and Persian salad). Large portion, easily for 2-3 people. Lamb chops were my favorite. I honestly enjoyed and would highly recommend coming here. The staff were quick, friendly, and efficient. Parking lot wasn't overwhelmingly packed. I will definitely return. Thank you, Reza!!

    It our first time going to Reza Persian Grill and we really enjoyed the food!! The staff was super kind and helpful. The bread was amazing and super soft and chewy. We also got a hummus to pair with it. I got the Reza specialty 2 and my gf got the Reza specialty 3, and we both really liked what we ordered. The ground beef kebab was our favorite, and we want to try the lamb next time. Highly recommend

    L4 on menu Lamb Shank w/basmati rice and fava beans $17
    Mike M.

    I had lunch here a few weeks ago for the first time. My party was promptly seated and after reviewing the menu I chose L4 which is the lamb shank for $17. The meal arrived in less than 15 minutes later and looked great on the plate. A big lamb shank served with basmati rice, dill and fava beans and it was a very good tasting meal. The meat was juicy and tender and rice and beans equally as good. Also at that price point, it was a real value. We all enjoyed our meals and the table service was very good too. I would be happy to come back.

    It's been awhile since I've had Reza, as always the R2 completes my lunch or even dinner. You got the Beef Koobideh and the Chicken Barg with their Cranberry Rice and Hummus. Of course the complimentary bread with their cheese and herbs and their Persian tea always is a nice touch.

    Saba Y.

    I love this restaurant! The chicken is perfectly made and seasoned to perfection. Their ghameh was also very delicious. Everything they have is delicious. This Persian restaurant is ranked top 5 in my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants.

    Beautiful decor
    Maria Aimen J.

    I didn't get the rice with the cranberries in it because I just prefer a plain rice, but the meat I got was perfectly seasoned and cooked well. The cubed chicken and the koobidah were both great. The tandoori bread was awesome, and the mint drink was good as well. The décor inside is beautiful and trendy, but also looks timeless. I would return.

    Chris M.

    I really liked the food, especially in the koobideb was fantastic. They also serve kotlet, which is one of my favorite dishes and not commonly found in any other restaurant. The homemade bread also tasted fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Pricing is also great.

We had a larger party & ended up getting the family platter to split. We also got sides of the hummus and garlic sauce. Their hummus was really delicious! Definitely a standout. All the different kebabs on the family platter were yummy. I liked the chicken kubideh kebab the best! It was nice and juicy w/ good flavor. The jujeh, chicken kebab, and kubideh were all good, but could've been a bit more juicy for my tastes. But overall everything was yummy. The rices were good too - I liked the baghali the most. Ambiance was nice, it was pretty crowded and a bit on the louder, but had a nice and welcoming vibe. They had some interesting artwork. And value was great, it ended up not being too expensive for our table of 6. You can call and make a reservation, I recommend this on weekends as the place was pretty packed. Also - there's a parking garage in the middle of rice village with 2hrs free parking. Definitly recommend that as well because street parking can be hard to find

I have grown to trust the people who write reviews, so we went around 5:30-5:45 during the week; it turned out to be a good idea. There were just a few tables that had two, three, and four people. I've been going to restaurants for a long time and for those of you that also go, the moment you walk in there's a smell of food being prepared that wafts out from the kitchen. It's a good smell at Kasra. It was a tad early to get a true vibe, but I didn't care; I wasn't there for the vibe. Our waitress was great and knew what she was talking about. Friendly and polite, she checked on us frequently to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The food was very good and we enjoyed the different tastes from cold to hot appetizers. Make sure you try the hummus I don't stand in any line for anything, but that said if you're looking for the complete experience then go on the weekend around dinner time.

We appreciated that kind gesture. Every food item on the menu looked delicious. I decided on the Lamb Rack. Loved the texture of the lamb and loved the basmati rice.

It wouldn't be a flavor for everyone, but to me, it was a perfect ending to a great entree as it was light and mildly sweet. Note that not all food options are halal.

    It wasn't the greatest start since I was waiting for 5 minutes for a host/hostess to attend to us…read more I think she was busting tables or in the kitchen but she was nice once we were accommodated. Once seated our server Baba introduced himself and made great recommendations. Now I'm not the biggest fan of hummus but I'm glad I got to try it. To start off, they brought us some complimentary bread. It came out hot & fresh. The bread was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also enjoyed the roasted sesame seeds that they put on top of the bread. Then I had the mango lemonade drink which I thought was refreshing and the mango was strong. As stated I rarely eat hummus but theirs is made in house and I can tell because it was delicious. It was creamy, nutty, savory and earthy. My friend decided to get their lamb shish kabob combo and I got the soltani kabob. His came with lamb and chicken and mine came with beef tenderloin and ground beef. Both dishes were amazing especially his since the chicken was bursting with flavor. Nicely grilled and seasoned. The lamb was also solid as well, it was tendered. The beef tenderloin was also nicely seasoned & tendered. The ground beef was my least favorite since it tasted like hamburger meat, but I don't hate it. The rice was cooked to perfection. At the end I ordered their dessert and got the Bastani Irani. It says on the website that it's homemade but our server informed us that they purchased it from a vendor. Not a big deal for me since the ice cream was very good. Creamy, sweet and the nuts added texture to the dessert. Baba was kind enough to give me two more breads to take home since I still had hummus leftover, I'm definitely gonna devoured it the next day. It's rare that I eat Persian food but when I do I know it's gonna be good. They do not mess around when it comes to seasoning. Overall, good service, good food, nice decor. I'm looking forward to trying out their seafood kabob the next time I dine in. I also wanna add that this restaurant is on Yelp top 100 for recommendations and I'm not surprised.

The bread the veggies that came out were very good. The appetizer sampler we got the eggplant dish, hummus, and yogurt and shallot. The hummus was not our favorite as our other go to Persian places seem to have a smoother texture but the eggplant was good. The yogurt was pretty tangy with light shallot flavor that wasn't super detectable but it was still nice. The koobideh was juicy and the rice and tahdig that came with it was super yummy. I don't love the seasoning for the chicken koobideh but that's just a preference thing nothing was wrong or unpleasant about it. The lamb koobideh was on point. The meat that my SO had was very good as well. Beef was tender. The chicken was tender. The only thing I was confused about was that my SO was supposed to also have tahdig on his rice but didn't receive it, he just got normal rice. My SO didn't tell me until the very end of the meal though so we didn't say anything to them but it was strange to forget that part of the meal. We didn't knock them for that because my SO didn't bring it to their attention and I'm sure they would have fixed it if we told them. Service was very friendly. They kept checking on us and were very polite. The outside of the restaurant is unassuming in a strip mall but the inside is pretty. There are some other Persian places that we prefer but the tahdig and the service and the juiciness of the meat were great here. The hummus was not our favorite though which to us is a big component that we like to eat. 4/5.

Sumptuous rice: Sweet- shirin pollow and javaher pllow Savory- sabzi pollow if you prefer more of the herb flavors Entrees: Lamb shank - the meat falls off the bone and it's delicious over a bed of rice. Beef Soltani - well-seasoned and tender. They serve it with a side of tomatoes, onions, jalapeño pepper and basmati rice. I always substitute the regular basmati rice with a sumptuous rice. Chenjah - i ordered the chicken and it was very well seasoned. The chicken was not dry and it also came with a side of tomato, onions, jalapeño and basmati rice (substitute it for the sumptuous rice and thank me later haha).

We were just told to sit down, only on the right side of the dining area. Thought they would bring out the food. They rang a bell and called out a number. I looked at my receipt, saw the number and told my husband that we had to pick it up. It looks like a full service restaurant, but it's not. My husband walked up to the cashier's counter, expecting the order. The cashier pointed him to the other dining area. It was just placed on top of the food case, no counter. Someone verified it was our order before he took it. I'm short and if I were picking up a bowl of their lentil soup and can't see if the soup is level, there could be a spill. The lamb shank was good, but we had to ask for the sauce that normally comes with it. She brought it. The butter was melted, so dripped over the rice easily. I guess it was too much to ask that the bread plate include feta cheese like at other Persian restaurants. I don't recommend coming in late as the bread was very hard. Dipping it in the sauce helped.
