Hafez

I went here yesterday. It does not have Halaal displayed and serves alcohol. Owner was very honest and said his suppliers (who are muslim) provide him with halaal meat - but did not want to say it was 100% halaal as he cannot verify for them - which is the same as most places in US, UK, etc. We ate there as this was good enough for us and meal was very good and nice cosy atmosphere. Would visit again if in Osaka again.

An Iranian restaurant with fast and attentive service. The saffron rice and koobideh kebab were excellent, and the meat and cheese pastries were light and melt in your mouth. Some dishes were less impressive — the hummus tasted quite ordinary, almost like canned, and the grilled chicken was tough with underwhelming seasoning. Prices are slightly higher compared to similar restaurants, but overall it’s a decent spot if you want to try authentic Iranian flavors.
