We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Hafez. The food was delicious, with an impressive variety of options. Our group included a vegetarian, a ‘fussy eater’, a meat lover and even a ‘snacker’, and every single one of us left genuinely satisfied. The service was outstanding from start to finish. We were so well looked after, and a few of us who stayed on after dinner were served a fantastic wine, with the team checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, something that feels increasingly rare when restaurants are busy. We truly felt like valued customers. And to top it all off, the interior design is absolutely beautiful , a real must-see! Highly recommended.

Great food, parking wasn’t the best and waitress wasn’t too pushy but observant. Wasn’t a long wait between starter and main either. Decor was something I’ve never seen before. Pretty much not ordinary. Had a good time.

We've been coming to Hafez since 1989 and have always enjoyed the food and pleasant setting. It was unusually busy today and a bit noisy as there was a screaming baby at the table next to us, but this was not the restaurant's fault (nor the parents - they did eventually take the baby outside until it had stopped crying). Food was very nice, freshly cooked and well seasoned, although I'd have liked more lamb in my khoresht ghaimeh bademjan. The staff were pleasant and courteous.
