Reza's Restaurant- Oak Brook - Oak Brook, Illinois

Just had our first experience at the newly reopened Reza’s Restaurant buffet and it was an amazing meal. All of the food was perfectly cooked (the cubed chicken kabobs were especially juicy) and the baklava was excellent. We also ordered the feta & herbs appetizer and the feta was the freshest I’ve had since visiting Greece over a year ago. This was a wonderful dining experience with impeccable service and I’m glad they were able to reopen under new management. I’m already looking forward to our next visit!

Recently diner at Reza's and had a great experience. Love that they have valet parking. The place is spacious with plenty of seating and also have rooms for private gatherings. The menu is big with lots of options to choose from. I love that they have both a Persian menu and Pakistani menu. They also have vegetarian options.

We liked everything we ordered and will definitely come back again. My favorites were the hummus, tabbouli salad, lentil soup, and kabob platter.

I usually don’t leave bad reviews, but our experience at Reza’s was truly disappointing. We waited patiently for the manager to come speak with us regarding several issues, but no one ever showed up. The service was dismissive at best.

Our appetizer tasted old and stale—definitely not fresh—and the main dishes were honestly disgusting. This place does not reflect the rich and flavorful cuisine Persian food is known for. We expected so much more, but left completely unsatisfied. Management needs to step up and take accountability for both the food quality and customer service. We won’t be returning.

I’m thrilled to share my experience at the newly reopened Reza’s! I recently hosted an iftar gathering there, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. As for the food, it was outstanding – the filet and biryani were absolute highlights! The menu offered a delightful blend of Mediterranean and Pakistani cuisine, and every dish was simply delicious. Highly recommend it!

The appetizer is not fresh. The meat skewer has small n big pieces which makes it unevenly cooked raw one side and burnt and overcooked on other. Dry rice and too much salt on koobideh

Reza’s Restaurant was… an experience. If you’ve ever wondered what a Persian buffet would taste like if it gave up on life, look no further. The meat was so bland I had to double-check I wasn’t chewing on cardboard. Honestly, the food had all the excitement of a plain rice cake at a dentist’s office.

As for the service—let’s just say calling it “service” is generous. Our server couldn’t speak English, only Spanish, which made ordering feel like we were playing a frustrating round of charades. I don’t expect fine dining, but I do expect to be understood when I ask for salt.

The staff seemed completely lost, like they’d been plucked off the street five minutes before opening and handed aprons. No coordination, no attention to detail—just pure chaos with a side of undercooked rice.

Reza’s could be great if someone pressed the reset button. Until then, it’s a hard pass from me unless you enjoy bland meat, awkward communication, and wondering where it all went wrong.

My family and I had been going to Reza’s for over 15 years. Before they shut down, we started having issues with management and overall customer service. I’m so happy to say that the new management and service is top notch. Our waiter was Mohammad and he catered to our needs and went above and beyond. I also told him about how some of the food tastes different as from before and how it could be changed, and the second time I ordered from them, it was changed and tasted even better! It shows that the new management cares about customer satisfaction and are willing to listen in order to cater to them better. I’d like to say that their kabab barg was even better that it was before they closed down. Solid food and good friendly customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family more often like we used to back in the day!

Rezas lunch buffet was a favorite of my partners father, to acknowledge the anniversary of his passing we decided to go to Rezas.. 2 separate party members called the restaurant yesterday to ensure the lunch buffet was happening, both were told yes, we will have the lunch buffet. We traveled 1 hour to the location on the anniversary of her father's death just to be told when we walk in there is no buffet. Hostess just said, well you didn't talk to me so..

New management is failing, we will never be back.
