In addition to the typical Persian kebabs, Hafez serves stews such as gheymeh bademjan (made with tomatoes, yellow split peas, meat, and fried eggplant), full-on lamb chops, and even rotisserie chicken. As far as those kebabs go, however, fans proclaim the chicken koobideh (ground chicken) king above all others. The atmosphere is pleasant, though nothing notable, but who cares when you’re staring down a platter filled with dill rice, a lamb shank, and creamy lima beans, all for under $12?
