In Short – This lively restaurant offers an extensive menu of nearly 50 options. Hummus, baba ghanoush and falafel are favorite starters. Persian soup is a combination of kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, noodles and mint in a yogurt-based broth. Entree highlights include two huge lamb shanks dripping with tomato-based sauce, plus fessenjan, a Cornish hen that is simmered in sweet-and-sour pomegranate sauce with finely crushed walnuts.

Sooooo much food...
by vegitoboi
In my younger years, my aunt would take home some of her leftovers that she'd get whenever her hospital friends ordered out for lunch. Back then, the only think I knew about Mediterranean food was Gyros. When I ate the food, I liked it from the start (granted I found it a little dry...and it still was in the recent visit). I came here for my 18th birthday, but for some reason that I can't remember I was in a foul mood and didn't feel like eating. Fast forward to 2008 and 8 years after, I find myself going here once again. Now, takeout orders may be one thing, but actually ordering something here is another. the plates are HUGE!!! My family were done just by eating the appitizer sample platter (1 big piece of pita with a "lazy suzan" plate of 6 different hummus type sauces). I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Migon combo, and instead of getting 1 filet of fish and steak i got 2 filets of steak plus one big filet of fish cut into 4 portions PLUS a full plate of couscous. Needless to say, it was overwhelming for 1 sitdown meal. The fish was great, but the steak was another story (leathery feeling and hard to cut through). I tried my mom's and aunt's dishes and they too were pretty tough (but good). I for one like the place, but not to the point I'd go everyday. my suggestion is to come with an empty stomach and get ready to chow down.
- Pros: LOTS of food
- Cons: parking lot is hidden, best to have reservation for dinner after 5PM
Wonderful atmosphere, incredible food.

If you enjoy savory Middle east/Persian fare you will love Reza's. It is oozing with charm. The service is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. The portions are simply huge. You get complimentary hummas/pita and even if you are not a vegatarian you will want to try their veggie appetizers. They have grilled portabello mushrooms in a sauce of pomegranate that is to die for. They also make large wedges (they call them planks) of potatoes grilled in the same sauce. It's heaven. Don't come here just thinking "gyros". They have an incredible lamb shank that is very meaty and flavorful and the lamb kabobs are awesome. If you want beef they do medallions of beef filet (4) grilled and it is heaven in your mouth. All of their seafood is shipped in fresh and whatever is in season. Very large lunch & dinner menu and cocktails. You will be sharing food with your dining companions. This is a class act in the heart of Andersonville.
- Pros: large selection huge portions
- Cons: none
