"This all-day cafe in Silver Lake is an easy hang in every way. Azizam is a laidback counter-service spot with lots of natural light, soft rock music echoing through its outdoor patio, and a menu full of homey, belly-warming Persian dishes that mostly float under $15. Your crew can stretch their legs on the breezy patio, and in minutes, delicious things start to arrive, like juicy turmeric-braised chicken legs on fluffy dampokhtak and grapefruit-sized kofteh tabrizi bobbing in a bowl of tomato-y broth." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
