The food LOOKED ok, but had no flavor, was dry, overpriced. Average at best. When I commented to the server that I was not satisfied, the attitude was “That’s what you ordered” and that was the end of that. I felt I got a bait and switch. I could have not paid the bill, but I didn’t want to stay any longer to deal with drama. The the old cranky lady upfront seemed offended by my comment and ignore us the whole time. Not the server fault but the owners. The fish stinks from the head. Horrible food and terrible service. Will never come back. .

We went with a friend there after work. We ordered combination plate and veggie combo. On the combination plate the only thing good was chicken. The kebab was flavorless and the beef was really tough. The veggie combo was nothing, 3 piece falafel, 3 piece dolma, hummus and baba ghanoush. Dolma was spicy and we thought salad will come with it. After this we got a bill for 57 dollars. Were disappointed.

Went during posted business hours to find a locked door. Two people were inside, came to the door, and reluctantly let us in. Nothing on the outside mentioned that it was a hookah bar, but both of them were smoking inside despite posted signs, and the inside smelled horrible. Left before we got sick from the fumes. Menu looked expensive for the quality of the establishment, but cant comment further than that since we didnt order anything.

I can honestly see why this place has bad reviews. I wanted to like it. However, they are just awful to customers here. I am only giving them an extra star because the appetizers were good and the shisha was ok too. First, my bf is Syrian and missed drinking yerba mate. We had found this place online and wanted to come for his birthday to enjoy yerba mate and shisha. We arrived too early. They claim online to be open from 12 pm to 2 am. Really they open after 6 pm. We ended up going to eat at another restaurant that night and we returned the following day. Keep in mind, while they sort of operate as a public establishment, they are more of a private club for their friends and acquaintances it seems. It would be a stretch to say they are open for the entire Middle Eastern community because they seem very reluctant to let in people they are not acquainted with. I definitely would not have felt comfortable entering if I did not have an Arabic speaker with me, so I agree with the girl who reviewed they only accept their own kind. Onto my main issue with this place, they brought out menus which had prices clearly written. Then, when the check came they overcharged us by $3 for one item. They also charge a 15 percent service fee and they calculate their own taxes while still expecting you to pay a tip. My bf told the girl about the $3 extra charged and she claimed the prices changed. Seems like a lie to me considering all the prices we were charged were the same as the menu except for one item. I can see if we were charged a little extra for all the items, but Im supposed to believe just one item was raised by $3. Seems like they like to just make up their own prices and did not think I would notice. Even if they are telling the truth, they should not give customers outdated menus or they should at least warn you of the raised prices before ordering. I wasnt going to argue further with them over $3, but I had to mention to them to let them know we are not dumb. I just wont return.

I usually go here for the hookah and swarma sandwich but i was blown by the service today. I was charged a 6 dollar fee for service. I would tip myself if i felt it right i dont appreciate the fact that i was charged a tip on my bill.

The owner of this business Luna is a thief. She ripped of a friend of mine who supplied her with many restaurant needs. She owes them a lot of money, took off with all his items and never paid him. She is a disgrace to our community. PAY your business BILLS LUNA Fakhouri

I dont understand the negative reviews, I went to this place and it was off-the-hook!! First off, the owners are very friendly and they always check on you to see if you are satisfied, and are always willing to make things right or honor your requests. Even the singers are friendly and always greet each customer. And yeah the food is worth the trip, its homemade and not frozen like the other places I have been to. The music is authentically arabesque. I am definitely going back to this place.

This place is beyond amazing! The food is delicious and its always fresh. The owners of the restaurant are very sweet and very friendly, they make you feel like family every time you come in. Saturday Nights are beyond amazing and fun. The entertainment on Saturdays are always fun and the singers they bring are beyond amazing and beautiful voices. They always bring a different singer from out of state or country every Saturday so theres always someone new to listen to! I must also say the customer service is great and always helpful when your in need. Out of all the restaurants and lounges I have been to I must admit ROZANA is the best and most exciting by far! Its not expensive and its always a great time every day and every Saturday. The family and the employees are the most sweetest and generous people I have yet to meet. If your looking for a great night out, an amazing weekend, and delicious food, you must go to Rozana! I give this place more than 5 stars if I could. They also reserve special events for baptisms, engagements, birthdays and more. If you want to have a great time Rozana is the place to go to!!!

Dining at the Mediterranean with friends is one of the things I really look forward to during my every-other-year visits to the Chicago . The food is wonderful, the service is attentive, and the aura of the place is lively and friendly. And since the parking Lot is only a few steps away, we never have to worry about parking.You can also do reservations through Open Table.It has one of those rare qualities for a restaurant - consistency. The food is always good!

If you like a quiet, peaceful restaurant, you should avoid this place like the plague. On the other hand, if you want to experience an authentic Mediterranean-style spot, with boisterous Arabic music, and juicy Middle Eastern grill, then you should definitely pay Rozana a visit. Highly recommended.

I dont normally write reviews but I felt like I had to write one this time. This place is just awful! We were told that we either spend a minimum of 35 dollars or pay a $15 cover charge. We spent 35 dollars each and got charged the 15 bucks on top. This place is nowhere as good as Alhambra and yet it is MORE expensive.. What a joke! Never go there. Theyll rip you off.

The price is NOT COMPARABLE to the food and service - too much money. In conclusion the whole experience was not good, I would never go again to this place for any reason and I dont recommend this restaurant, not even to my worst enemy.Honestly, my friends and I love to try new cuisines and flavors, and we go out for food at least twice a month. We are pretty open to all options.We decided on trying out Rozana restaurant, as we wanted to eat traditional middle eastern cuisine. We reached the place at about 8:30 PM, as we have made a reservation IN ADVANCE, we had no worries on waiting for a table. When we walked in, the staff was not friendly at all and the waitress had an unpleasant look.The place has minimal design and I wouldnt say it is kid-friendly. Even if we dont have kids, I should mention this. NOT a kid-friendly place. The place is small as it is.The menu has no certain speciality, appetizers, with no main difference. Typical main dishes you will find in every middle eastern restaurant.The service was absolutely disappointing. The waiters had extremely good mood…so good that they were DANCING, they were yelling each other and they generally made fuss annoying us. In addition they could hardly notice us when we wanted something (water, more wine, the bill etc.).

I agree with you guys the food is horrible and I cant stand the owners because I heard some stories about them how they steal money from their own family that was sharing the business. I miss them they were nicer I dont go there anymore now. bad place they have different people trying to sing there lol. I guess its more like karaoke place they like to let anyone sing maybe I can sing there too one day.

Perfect Food, Extremely friendly Owners, Cheapest prices in town, not mentioning the amazing service,Im at the restaurant everyday and new fresh ingredients are bought everyday, with that out of the way, the restaurant is family owned and they will do everything to put a smile on a costumers face, and as for the service i never had a problem, but if any problems occurred I believe theres a good explanation for that, and if the negative comments were correct, I wouldnt think the restaurant would full busy every Saturday. Prices are the cheapest in town, and you can compare it your self, As for Saturdays the singers are Wessam Al-Iraqi, and Robert Badal, amazing voices to enjoy your Saturday in a family oriented night out.I expect these comments coming from single people who werent allowed in to keep the family mood in place as it is all time, or some of the known people to the restaurant owners and costumers that been trying to hurt the place reputation, after all you wouldnt be successful with out haters and enemies, you need some one to step on and keep moving upI would invite one and all to come enjoy there time here, and Im 100% sure youll come back, :)

Sitting at home today bored I thought it would be best to review all the restaurants me and my wife have attend.. Rozana Restaurant was one I visited about a week ago very random driving down Lincoln I saw it such a small place I thought it would be perfect to try some Middle Eastern food since my wife is Arabian and we never get to eat the authentic Middle Eastern food due to her mother living in Dubai. Excited walking in to eat some food after a long day of shopping there was no waiter to seat us we took a seat after standing for couple of minutes.. A old lady came to us who did not speak English well but my wife knows Arabic so we choose a kabob plate since there wasnt much options on the menu and I asked for a hookah they brought the hookah right away it was okay but the flavor burned right away I felt like it wasnt such good flavor but what really ticked me off was the food came within 10 minutes and I knew it was not fresh with the first bite the meat tasted old, the rice was cold, and the salad had no dressing.. We tried explaining this to the waiter but she couldnt understand at all she told us she was the owner when we asked for a manager since my wife isnt so fluent in Arabic the price was ridiculous for two with the hookah and just water and 2 kabob plate it came up to $65.00 and tip was already included in the check not to mention the bathrooms werent clean, no paper towels, soap, or toilet paper. The place overall is small you dont get any service nor authentic Middle Eastern food. I honestly prefer Mcdonalds instead of this place ( I dont even eat Mcdonalds) I hope they can get new chefs,waiters and overall stock up on materials for the Restaurant..
