Cosy ambience with authentic Iranian food. The venue is not luxury yet family style. Service was good, tables were clean. Most importantly, the food was tasty and delicious.

Food was disappointing. Certainly not the same quality when I visited some years back. The koobideh was ok but nothing special. The fries tasted like they had come straight out of a packet of frozen oven chips.

It’s overrated . Never been to place before who serve hummus/Baba Ghanoush without Bread. How are you going to eat that without the bread? When we ordered the bread we got Roti and I must say it wasnt a good combination. Rice were plain white rice and had no spice or sauce with the and lamb chops were flat without any flavour.

Ordered the boneless chicken - seemed to be a lot of fries and salad. 8 small cubes of chicken which didnt have much flavour and tasted a bit overcooked. Safron ice cream was rock hard. Bit of lack luster experience. The starters were ok. Service was average, the lady was a bit abrupt, no personal touch. the men were more friendlier.

We hadn't been to Hafez for a couple of years and were very glad to find that it is better than ever. Everything is cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients and is flavoured with fresh herbs and spices. We will be back soon.
