★★★★★ 5.0 Ana Dillon · Feb 2026

Hafez House of Kebab is literally the best Persian restaurant in the "Greater Boston" area in Watertown, MA! Going here is absolutely an unforgettable experience the owners are incredibly friendly I'm very close with both of them they are welcoming. The service is in a timely manner it's done in a great way. The atmosphere is dimly lit and cozy with authentic art pieces hung on the walls directly from Iran. It almost feels like you're stepping into Iran but in a restaurant for an evening or whenever you choose to eat. The prices are reasonable and the food is a definite wonder because once you try the food you can't stop coming back I personally come back to this restaurant probably four times a week every week just because the food's delicious, service is awesome, and the owners and serve

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mojgan Anvari · Mar 2026

Absolutely terrible experience. There was a long hair in the kabab, and I threw up and I don’t think I’ll eat Kabab again for a long time 😞The food was not fresh and the quality was very poor, one side of the kabab was half cooked while the other side was burnt. I will never order from this place again, and you should stay away from it too. Note the attached image and how the food was arranged, Absolutely disgusting! 🤢

I discovered this restaurant by the amazing smell, always a good sign. I did a take out order, with the Mirze Gasemi and Kebob-E-Soltani. Both were very tasty, tender, with a wonderful combination of spices, they came with the rice which was airy and perfectly cooked. They have only a few tables but they are nicely set up with white table cloths and the atmosphere is of an elevated place but cozy and very comfortable. The noise level is also very low, no loud music, which makes it excellent for carrying out a conversation without having to shout to be heard. We’ll definitely go there to dine out.

Very delicious kebabs specially kebab torsh. Also excellent customer service. I went there on Christmas Day with my family, a group of 6, and enjoyed the experience and hospitality. I will go back again. Can't recommend them enough. Very delicious Persian cuisine 😋🤤
