My 2024 hidden gem. If you love Darband, you will LOVE Reza. Reza is the restaurant you want to take out of town guests to Darband, but Darband is a little on the smelly side (if you know, you know). Don't get me wrong, Darband is still amazing, but Reza is on another level. I actually crave both restaurants and they don't necessarily have the same palette cravings. I'll go to Darband for the the beef barg and/or the beef kubideh and the watermelon/pineapple drink. But Reza; my god, I'll go for the chicken barg which is the most juicy and tender chicken I've ever tasted. OH and their hummus is literal crack, and their bread is probably the best in Houston. (It used to be Al Aseel 10 years ago).

The food here is delicious, portions are big, so two people can easily share a plate. Their hummus tastes homemade and fresh. If you are in the area definitely stop here.

This was such a nice change of dining in the Hillcroft area! The Mediterranean food is cooked fresh and tastes delightful. Service was a little slow, but it made sense considering how busy they were on a Saturday night we went.

My party of 3 got the combination platter to share and it was tremendous. It is fairly pricey but the amount of food that comes with it is worth the money since it typically serves 4 people. There are also appetizers of salad and naan bread with your choice of dips. We decided to go with hummus and eggplant, which were both delicious. Close parking to the restaurant can be difficult to find since the parking lot is not the biggest but if you don't mind walking a small distance then it should not be a problem. The restaurant itself is brightly lit and there are many tables available and was completely packed when my friends and I went. The service was okay and our food came out fairly quick despite how busy it was. It bothered me that workers were trying to take plates off our table before we were finished eating and we felt rushed towards the end of our meal to finish eating so we just took the rest of our food to-go.

Woahhhhh! This place is soooo good!! Best hummus I've had! Super garlicky! As for the grilled bbq meats, so juicy and tender! Everything is here is muah!!

Delicious authentic persian food! Came with friends and got the R4 - mix of grilled meats: ground beef and chicken seasoned well and very tender, comes with flavorful rice and side of hummus. Great with the bread 5/5 highly recommend, great portion and price. Service was a little hard to get a hold of sometimes, we wanted more bread/water a few times and it took a while before someone could get back to us The inside is pretty and well lit, a little crowded but busy for the right reason!

I enjoyed the Reza Specialty R2.....a skewer of ground beef and a skewer of chicken barg, the chicken is marinated and barbecued, grilled tomatos, bell pepper, onion and basmati rice mixed with cranberry and saffron, and a side of hummus. My wife and I followed the great reviews here. Right after we ordered, they brought out a plate with sliced radishes, some cheese and various leafy greens like mint A giant pita bread with a couple kinds of seeds hit the table at the same time. My wife ordered the F2 Grilled jumbo shrimp that came with grilled tomato, bell pepper, onion, french fries and a house salad. We thought the shrimp were tasty but a tad overcooked. The star of this meal was the chicken and beef and the stellar hummus. We'll be back.

I haven't had authentic Persian food this good in a while in the state. I loved the Hummus and the Persian salad. We ordered the mix grill for 6 people and it was very good. I loved all kind of meet but the beef kebab is superior, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. My least favorite is the chicken Kabab. The rice was delicious as well. Overall I highly recommend this place if you are looking for good Persian food.

Absolutely fantastic! A+ -The kubideh was thick, juicy,and flavorful. -The eggplant appetizer was smokey and delicious! - Their bread was thick and fluffy. Much larger than most! -they provided us with plenty of fresh herbs, large chunks of feta cheese, cucumbers, radishes, and onions. We live in Austin and relatives brought it for us. It was great! I can't wait to eat there again! If you find my review helpful, please like it!
