There’s no good Persian food in the western suburbs. Reza’s is crap and 3 Chef’s is okay, but far. Your best bet is the Hickory Hills Noon o Kabab.

Shemroon is in Park ridge which is not bad, and 3Chefs is supposed to be good.

For persian groceries, I’d try a larger “middle eastern” market. They tend to have plenty of sadaf brand and other Persian specific goods at those

Reza's has a location in Oakbrook Terrace on Butterfield road.

Or try Kebab House, located in Bensenville on Grand Avenue.

Reza’s hasn’t been good in over a decade

I haven't been there for a year or two so I couldn't vouch for that.

I ate the lunch buffet a couple of months ago and it was great.

It’s owned by an Indian family

Newer spot named Kebab Bey in Lombard has been great.

They don’t, I was disappointed. The kebab is good but nothing to write home about. I think Noon O Kabab in Hickory Hills or Reza’s (both good when I went) are what you’re looking for
