"This Persian restaurant on Hereford Road has a quirky interior, with hanging cutlery and bookshelf benches, but that’s not the most interesting thing about Hafez. We’re always here for the dips. From refreshing mast o khair—cool yoghurt laced with cucumber and herbs—to creamy salad-e olivieh, generous with chicken and potatoes, to smoky aubergine kashk-e bademjan. Eagerly scoop up the lot with freshly baked taftoon bread. There are usually a couple of tables available on a Saturday night, making it an excellent last-minute option in the area." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
