More information on Reza's

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. But the Persian-inspired menu will soon make you forget all about pints of ale. 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. 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. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
