Kultur Café Restaurant Hafis in Berlin

I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Pretty tasty Persian restaurant. Price & performance is great. We were very satisfied and can highly recommend it. Most of the guests were locals, so it must be good.

Disastrous service, poorly prepared food. 1.5 hour waiting time, guests who ordered after us were served sooner! Never again!!

The food and the price are excellent. The restaurant itself is also nice. Unfortunately, some of the employees don't seem to consider it necessary to communicate in German...

This restaurant actually has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, everything is ruined by the unprofessional behavior of the staff. Although the food was delicious, the staff showed little interest in the guests. The tables were left untidy after the meal, and no one bothered to clear the dishes or provide proper service. It was almost impossible to order again because no one attended to our table. This indifference and unprofessional attitude made our visit extremely unpleasant. Under these circumstances, I definitely cannot recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food and great service.

We visited this restaurant on Sunday with a group of 20 people. The food was really excellent, but the service was a disaster! The employees were rude, disrespectful and completely disinterested in their work. After our food was gone, the used dishes remained on the table for ages - even though the staff had nothing to do and preferred to smoke outside instead of attending to the guests. When we wanted to order again, no one came to our table. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable in the catering industry! I don't understand why the owner of this restaurant doesn't replace his team. We – and all our friends – will definitely not be coming back. If you value good service, you should avoid this place! If I could, I wouldn't even give it a star

The food was really delicious – compliments to the kitchen! Unfortunately the visit was completely ruined by the unfriendly and rude staff. The staff were neither helpful nor professional and clearly had no desire to take care of the guests. Instead of serving us, they preferred to stand outside and smoke. Very disappointing - we won't be coming back!

I've tried all different kebabs here. All of them were good. Fair price.

The food was good but the service and the staff were terrible. You were asked if you spoke the language and after you said you spoke German you felt very unwelcome. I won't go there again

Very bad quality! If you are looking for some diarrhea center. I would recommend it!

Unfortunately, the quality and portion size have deteriorated massively. The kubideh skewers are half the size they used to be, and both kubideh and djudeh no longer taste like authentic Persian kebabs. Very disappointing! In addition, the service was extremely poor – unfriendly and slow. I visited the store twice within a month, hoping that maybe it was just a one-time blip. But unfortunately the negative was confirmed every time. I can't recommend this store more.

Dr. Denial un individuo increíble y un gran amigo durante muchos muchos años que nos lleva a este restaurante en el segundo día de la exposición ITB Berlín. Manteniendo viva la tradición fuimos este año al mejor restaurante persa de la ciudad. El ambiente del lugar y lo más importante la comida no tiene rival. Sin embargo, el servicio se puede retrasar un poco debido a la operación ocupada, pero créeme, vale la pena visitar y disfrutar de una noche con amigos familiares o individuales

Dr Denial a amazing individual and a great friend for many many years taking us to this restaurant on 2nd day of ITB Berlin exhibition. Keeping the tradition alive we went this year to the best Persian restaurant in town. The venue atmosphere and the most important the food has no match. Yet the service can be bit delayed due to busy operation but trust me it is worth visiting and enjoying a evening with friends family or individual

The batter and the special kebab are great

Had to ask for my simple dish after 50 minutes. When I got an answer that you shouldn't give it as a waiter, I wanted to speak to the boss. Only then did I hear an apology. I think everyone knows what happens to you after 50 minutes when it comes to feeling full. It was also cheeky that I had to pay for what hadn't arrived yet.

Unfortunately, there was a very unpleasant smell at the entrance. The atmosphere was very sad and dark. Although the food was in great quantity, it completely lacked the good and delicious oriental, especially Iranian, flavors. The behavior of the staff was average, but unfortunately the behavior of a young woman who worked there was very unfriendly. There was neither a polite reception nor a respectful farewell. We won't go there again and can't recommend it.

I love to have a snack here, the atmosphere is very pleasant! The service is also top notch.

The food is not good and not bad I can say Average! The kebab could be cooked better and the rice is not Persian rice at all! The waitresses and service and "Bastani Sonati also Doogh" are very good and the atmosphere is nice. Sorry, but since you represent our food and culture I want you to do it much better so please take this review as constructive criticism.

Two days ago , i visit this restaurant randomly . It was amazing restaurant and the lady who serve the food was also sweet . Everything was perfect . ❤️

The following points: Very friendly waitress. Not too long of a wait. Good quality. The food was served hot. The starter was very good. Overall it was fantastically tasty. Thank you, gladly again!

A wonderful restaurant with extremely nice and attentive staff. The atmosphere is very cozy and beautifully designed. The food was very tasty and the cake was fantastic. In addition, the toilets are super clean

Hi, I give 2 stars because the food is acceptable but be very careful with the vegetables that comes with Kabab, It is not clean at all and I saw many small insects that are walking in the vegetables dish!!!!! You should be respectful about customers health

It is acceptable in the sense of good food. However, the quality has declined significantly compared to the past. The employees who worked here before were very friendly and energetic. But today the staff was full of negative energy and arrogance. They didn't even have the strength to smile. When it comes to cleanliness, kebab shops are actually much cleaner and tidier. I don't recommend it at all. 👎

For me it was a very pleasant discovery to come to this restaurant. The appetizer platter was fantastic. The grilled meat platter was wonderful! The meat was very soft and really super good. The service was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing and warm. The super honest price. I want to go back as soon as possible :)

I think the food in this restaurant is great. It is authentic and of very good quality

Nice but too expensive for me personally. E.g. number 6 from the menu, simply herb quark with a slice of tomato, two slices of cucumber, a few lettuce leaves and some flatbread for 9.70 euros....

Good quality of food and service. Nice and well decorated place. We tried different kind of “Kabab” and Baghali polo, and all of them were fine. Dogh and ice cream were great. The rice could be a little bit softer (this is my taste, maybe others are okay with its cooking level). To sum up, we enjoyed and will try it again.

Very tasty food!! And a nice piano concert at the end 😍

Hello! I give the restaurant hafes 1 star because the food is not good, it is too dark in the restaurant and there is no music! Fanous is still the best Persian restaurant in the world

In my opinion, the best Iranian food in Berlin is served at this restaurant. Considering that I have tried the food at other restaurants in Berlin, none of them compare to this one

The food was very tasty and well prepared, big compliments to the kitchen! Unfortunately the service was disappointing. The waiter was rude and showed disrespectful behavior, which greatly spoiled the overall impression. It's a shame because the food was really good. I hope the service will be improved because the restaurant has potential.

The staff and management are so rude, impolite, and ill-tempered that, in my opinion, it’s not worth putting up with such behavior just to have a meal. Enjoying food is about more than just the taste; I believe part of the pleasure comes from the environment and the people serving it.

Food was awful !I was dying after dinner! Servis scandalous! They bring everything in slow motion Dont visit this place hungry,because u'll wait at least 1 hour for food And 30min for tea!!!!!!!! Better don't go at all

The food is good and tasty as always, the service is acceptable, but it should be much better, because one server is fantastic, while others are just there... The biggest drawback is the ambience, there is always loud music playing in the background and the tables are very close together, making it one of the worst Persian restaurants (ambient wise) in Berlin.

The food was relatively good, but the behavior of the staff was not at all respectful or appropriate. It seemed like they had no motivation to work. The chef didn't give us a friendly or warm welcome either. The background music was instrumental and monotonous which made the atmosphere boring. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone and have no desire to go there again.

Service/Decoration is not good at all!

This was our second chance that we gave them and unfortunately, Although they are serving one of the famous Iranian food (Kabab), but their behavior are not along with iranian culture. Very rude behavior of them made me to promiss myself not to go there any more.

I’ve given this place multiple chances, but unfortunately, each visit has been more disappointing than the last. The staff’s behavior has been consistently rude, and there’s a noticeable lack of friendliness or warmth. It’s a shame, as I had hoped for better, but I can’t recommend this spot based on my experiences👎🏻

A wonderful restaurant. I have been there for two years and each time the taste is better than the one before. I advise everyone to try the restaurant. Very respectable staff and excellent service.

There was a broken glass in the rice plate and my wife's mouth was sore. When we told the restaurant waiter, their only reaction was to inform the kitchen staff. The fried kebabs were not good either, and the fried kebabs were burnt and dry, but the middle of the kebabs was raw. were Overall, it was not good at all and is not recommended

We ate serechkpolo today which was very bad, I just don't recommend it.

Yesterday there were six of us at the Hafis Restaurant. The waitresses were very polite and in a good mood! The food was terrific! We had: Soltani, Djuje Kabab, Mirza Ghassemi and Djuje Soltani. Incredibly delicious! We specially ordered and ate Mast'o-musir and Sir-Torshi as a side dish, and the Persian, homemade lavash bread was also very good!☆Djuje Kabab is very juicy and tender here. I have often experienced Djuje as dry elsewhere, but here it is a culinary delight!!! Thank you ♡

The best barber shop I've seen in Berlin👌👌

Food was ok. The service is the worst I've experienced in this city so far. You don't feel welcome at all and you're happy when you're out again. Unfortunately, all the bad reviews are no coincidence. I don't normally write any Reviews because everyone can have a bad day. But here I can't help it. It was underground..

The food is delicious, but immediately afterwards I had a stomach ache and felt nauseous. The service is underground!! The starter was brought sometime after the main course, although it was clearly communicated when ordering that it should be brought beforehand. In addition, the wrong food was brought and something was still missing. The waitresses were sometimes very rude and ignored us. We were also told on the phone when we made the reservation that everything inside was "full", but that wasn't the case We didn't feel welcome and wouldn't recommend the restaurant or visit it again. I posted this review yesterday, but it was simply deleted!!

The food was good but the service was terrible!! Our food was simply taken away even though we weren't finished yet. The wrong food was initially brought and then something was missing. The waitresses ignored us and didn't make us feel comfortable!!

The food was delicious, but unfortunately I immediately had a stomach ache and felt nauseous afterwards. The staff is underground! It was clearly communicated when ordering that the starter should be brought first, unfortunately this was not the case. First the wrong food was brought, then something was missing... The waitresses seem very unmotivated, are unfriendly and sometimes ignore the customers. You feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in the restaurant. Additionally, the dessert was from at least the day before and was inedible. Wouldn't go there again!

We waited alot after being seated for waiter to come and take our orders. Overall food was good. Liked appetizers more than main course. Kebobs were not being cooked thoroughly

The food is excellent and the staff is also very respectful

The oldest (?) cinema in Berlin, film art cinema with a very personal touch, comfortable seats with lots of legroom, good technology, ventilation could be a little better. Good program. A cinema that will hopefully last for a long time

Delicious Persian cuisine with friendly staff who do their best as much as possible

The food was delicious, but they don't let you sit where you want, they gather everyone together. We couldn't enjoy the meal at all because we were forced to sit next to a family with lots of children. It was terrible and not a pleasant memory

Hi guys, In fact, there is even an additional star. I was here in my plate a wait of men 🤢 I've already left without saying anything, then I eat It's not everything, unfortunately I couldn't sleep well the whole night because of stomach pain, the Kabak wasn't fried well, which is why I have stomach pain from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Dishes are traditional and many Iranians come here.

Im usually in Berlin only for summers, and all year round, I wait to come here and get some kabob! I love their Koobideh kabob. The portion is pretty good, and it comes with sides of greens and onions. I always order the koobideh here, so i haven't tried anything else, but their Seer Torshi, which is pretty good too! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very nice and well decorated!

Excellent Persian restaurant and our favorite in Berlin. Koobideh was some of the best I’ve had in years with perfect char, still juicy and well seasoned.

The food was terrible. Bad quality of meat in Kebabs. And a bad manner of the service staff.

So bad service! Unnecessarily expensive for a small dish. Even if any additional bread is charged, no free asides (for 5 people they took a single, mid range plate of greens, no tea offer, etc. etc.) of I've eaten in several Persian restaurants in Berlin. So far the only disappointing one. Place does not have any ambient, placed next to S-Bahn and high way No need to waste time and money.

Everything is very nice. But it took a long time to be served and reordering was also a bit of a mess... but nice staff and delicious food

the waiters very disrespectful and always annoyed. The food didn't taste particularly good and there was hair in it. I really don't recommend this store to anyone!!!!

In a nice atmosphere with really friendly staff, we got traditional Persian cuisine at a very good price.

Bad service I waited over an hour for my food and meat wasn't cooked well I never recommend 🙅‍♂️

I really like the food there. Delicious persian food

Hervorragendes Speisen und sehr freundlicher Service. Immer wieder sehr gerne! Das Kubideh ist umwerfend gut, Vorspeisen und die Berge von frischen Kräutern runden das perfekte Mahl ab!

Chelokabab was the tastiest of all. The option with three different khoreshts were also exciting as gave you the possibility to taste three different dishes.

One of the best & highest quality Persian restaurants in Berlin.

The worst restaurant I have ever eaten in in Berlin. The ambience is very bad, outside you can hear the loud highway, inside it is very rustic and uncomfortable. The food was also very bad. There was rice with bone-in chicken, no salad, bread or even sauces. I have never experienced anything like it. And the highlight was that I felt an underlying racism in this restaurant. We were given the feeling that we were not welcome as Germans. We were ignored, no please or thank you, annoyed reactions to questions, made to wait forever, whereas the Persian customers were treated noticeably nicely. We felt very uncomfortable and will not come back again.

Best and juiciest kebabs that i have tasted to date!

After a month we wanted to enjoy our dinner in the Persian restaurant. We were first offered a table for two people, which was not clean and we were asked to move to another table close to the bar. The food was delicious but it was terribly loud and disrespectful to guests! The waiters made so much noise with drying utensils that I could no longer eat my food in peace!! An unpleasant, disrespectful atmosphere towards the guests, quite uncultured!!

Very good choice for Iranian dishes

The food was very tasty, especially the Fesenjan with rice. For dessert there was Napoleon ice cream, which had saffron, pistachios and a small piece of frozen cream in it. There was also falode shirazi, thinner noodles with butter and a cherry and lemon sauce poured over it.

The best Iranian restaurant in Berlin! We've been going there for years! Thank you for everything!

یا اینطوری هم میتونی بنویسی Unfortunately they are always looking for free employees and they always treat you badly and insult you. Please be careful⛔⛔⛔

Very friendly staff. The food was very tasty 👍

Everything great! Food needs a tiny bit of attention to design and shapes

We got here by accident - passing through. It was a very nice surprise. Very tasty Iranian cuisine, a set of good herbs. Nice service. We recommend!

I had a very good time their, the food is amazing and so is everything else.

I don't recommend a bad restaurant, the rice was bad, the food wasn't cooked well, I regretted making the wrong choice

All I can say is that it was a great evening. Good tea, nice starters and what a lamb or I had the veal and it was all really very delicately spiced, well seasoned and was a joy to eat. It is served without a lot of frills, as I think it should be in this kitchen. Great experience on the last evening in Berlin. Thanks for that.

It is exactly what you are looking for. I recommend this place to others...🫡🌹🌹🌹

We spontaneously had lunch here with 8 people during the week; spacious ambience; everyone felt comfortable. I find the service to be unobtrusive, probably borderline too inattentive for others. Food was cheap and convincing. I'd love to come back.

Even though Persian cuisine is meat heavy, I easily found several amazing vegetarian dishes here. Everything tasted really good, portions are big but it’s not a problem to take leftovers home. The service was a bit confused when it comes to food allergies, but in the end everything worked out. Plenty of Persians dining there which I take as a sign of authenticity! Cards accepted.

Wir waren letztens da und der Service war eher schlecht. Die Kellnerin wirkte sehr unfreundlich und hat uns beim rausgehen ignoriert, wir hatten das gefühl, dass das daran lag, dass ein Teil von uns als Hatzareh und Afgahnin gelesen wurde - sehr enttäuschend Today we came to Hafez restaurant, I must say that The behavior of the waitress towards us was not right at all, when I entered the restaurant with my friend and when we were leaving. During the service, he behaved as if he wanted to fight with the customer. As an Afghani and (Hazara), I really have to say that I am sorry for the behavior of this waitress, because she was making me understand that the problem was mostly with my nationality.

Leckeres Essen, nette Personal

Always happy to go there. Best Persian cuisine, great drinks! Great atmosphere and nice guests. Food so delicious and perfect!

So gut wie ich es von damals kannte

Nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. The food was really delicious. We will be back. 🤗

Das Personal ist wenig zuvorkommend. The waiters are rude.

Top food and great service. I don't understand the average rating of 4 stars at all. It should be more like 4.7 stars. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back

Very tasty food, pleasant and excellent service

I really liked the food and the atmosphere. I recommend visiting!!!

Everything was great, but the smell of feces (probably from the wastewater disposal by pump trucks) was very annoying. Everything that can influence the restaurant was great!

Fantasztikus a döner nagyadag jó áron köszönjük szépen

بدترین کباب کوبیده جهان اینجا میل کنید 🤮

Ich habe viele persische Restaurants ausprobiert. Nach Jahren wollte ich das Hafis wieder besuchen. Es ist etwa so wie früher. Die Qualität des Essens hat sich konstant auf 4 Sterne gehalten. Wir bestellten Fesendschan (mit Hühnchen, Walnüssen und Granatapfelsirup) und Qeyme (Lammfleisch mit Auberginen). Das Letzte war jedoch nicht so gut. Das Personal war freundlich und aufmerksam, und das Ambiente war angenehm. Im Hintergrund lief stets persische Popmusik. Reservierung per Telefon war problemlos.

Every time I am in Berlin. I eat here. Cozy, nice service, delicious food. Lovely. I am very grateful.

Draußen kann man nicht wirklich sitzen. Es ist durch die Stadtautobahn und die Kantstraße unheimlich laut. Im Restaurant richt es stark nach Essen. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass die Dunstabzugshaube nicht richtig funktioniert haben muss. Es ist unangenehm, wenn man vom Essen kommt und die Kleidung nach Küche riecht.

Heute Abend haben wir einen wunderschönen, geselligen Abend in diesem persischen Restaurant verbracht. Der Service war geradezu perfekt. Aufmerksame und freundliche Mitarbeiter haben das Ambiente vervollkommned. Das abgebildete Essen hätte für mindestens zwei hungrige Personen gereicht. Danke für den schönen Abend an das Personal 😊🤗

Das Essen schmeckt super und das Ambiente finde ich sehr schön. Kommen gerne wieder.
