I use to eat at the Reza's downtown many years ago, it was my favorite restaurant in the city before it closed down. I didn't think they had a location that was open (the one in uptown closed down too) and when it popped up as a nearby option when I was recently in Evanston, I had to go. Unfortunately, they were closed for a private party but they still had the to-go option available so I ordered the combo #2, filet and lamb with dill rice. Even to-go, it was everything...
January 2025
I was excited to find a new location ( 3 yrs in Evanston), since Reza's on Clark St in Chicago closed. I got the Combo Kabobs. Lamb and Beef Koubideh Kabobs with Dill Rice and Flatbread.
It was a cold and rainy day so the Tomato Soup hit the spot.
