"Suggesting a counter service spot for date night is usually a no-no, but if the destination is Azizam, you’re in for a good night. At this cozy Persian cafe in Silver Lake, all the ordering happens up front when you walk in (the mazeh platter and kofteh meatball are great for sharing), which allows for the rest of the evening to be spent chatting and sipping orange wine without being interrupted by a server.
