Upon entering Hafez, you are instantly transported to a different world. The ceiling-to-floor curtains, large murals on the walls, and stained glass windows create an incredible atmosphere. The menu, which prominently features lamb, offers a variety of options including char-grilled meats, main dishes, dips with bread, and sides. We especially enjoyed the Chenjeh (Lamb Back strap) for its delicious spices and cooking technique. I would come back just for that dish alone. Kid friendliness: High chairs are available.

Good experience overall. Good a good with a broad choice for entre, main and dessert. Staff are well mannered and friendly, but when the restaurant got busy, it was hard to get hold of a waiter as they were understaffed. Wheelchair accessibility: It is on the ground floor so easy access with wheelchair Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Great food, great customer service Second visit 31 Dec 2022: great food and fantastic customer service. We celebrated the new years eve family dinner here. Ordered Persian red wine and Persian gourmet cuisine from a great selection of Persian dishes available on the menu, we finished it off with some saffron Persian ice cream which was excellent. Third visit 31 December 2023. Baghalie polo ba Mahi was really not to the standard I expected. Very dry fish. Fesenjoon was also not as good anymore. I’d say the quality of food has dropped since last year.
