First time here but love the place!! Jeremy was sooo polite and inviting. Recommend a plate that was amazingly delicious. The meat was tender and juicy, and just the right spice. The place was clean, and played soft music. Dina the waitress was very sweet and polite too. Recommend this please 150% read more

I called at 8:30 pm since they say they close at 9pm. The phone rang and a female employee answered with " sorry, we're closed" and hung up without giving me a second to say anything. I understand you are not taking any orders since it's 30 min before closing but it's extremely rude to just answer, make a statement and hang up on someone. I'm truly disappointed with the customer service and disrespect. read more

Hatam Restaurant - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Anaheim, California

It's been a while since I had food here. They used to be located off Brookhurst and the 5 freeway and now they're off Lincoln. Food is excellent, fair priced and plenty of basmati rice. Overall a great meal. Service could be more attentive. read more

I wanted to come here with my family during New Year's Eve for Persian food. There's a lot of seating inside, and we didn't have to wait to get a table. It was nice to see different tables with both group and solo diners. We each got rice dishes and shared borani ($8.99), a warm appetizer dip with eggplant and yogurt. We had complimentary pita bread to eat the dip. I got the koobideh combo ($18.99) with lubia polo ($4), a savory rice with beef, green beans, tomatoes, and other spices. While lubia polo has an add-on fee, it makes the dish much better, even when the default basmati rice already tastes good. The beef that comes with the lubia polo is very soft and has a hint of sweetness. The ground chicken and beef were so juicy. As usual, their cooking is very commendable. Also, like always, we had leftovers to take home. Service is good, and the usual staff checked in on us multiple times. The staff here recognize us, and they're friendly. Note that they add 18% gratuity on to your dine-in receipt. Any tips would be on top of the required service charge. Overall, I highly recommend coming here for filling and delicious Persian rice dishes. read more

If you are looking for extremely welcoming atmosphere come to this restaurant. We didn't feel we were at the restaurant. It felt like we were visiting family. Every lady who took care of us was so caring and nice. Food came very quickly after we ordered. Their kabab is absolutely outstanding!!!!!!! Barg was tender and well spiced, chicken kabab was on point. Fesenjun and Ash reminded me of sweet Persia so much. Definitely 10 out of 10. read more

When walking into the restaurant, they've got a cute little pool for koi fish, but I hope they may clean it out since it looks murky. Coming inside the restaurant: looks fine! Nothing spectacular, but definitely feels like a family ran restaurant which I love :-)! Service was decent. Had to get up a few times to ask for additional items. Everyone is nice. Food was beyond 10/10! I have been to different persian restaurants, and I might believe this place offers better quality and taste! Definitely coming back! Thank you Hatam. read more

Service quick. Food delicious. Varieties to chose from. I enjoy the various types of rice for instance. The borani is the best I've tasted. I always order one to take home! read more

We have been coming to this family run place for many years. They used to be at another location but this new one is larger and better. Food is great and service is always friendly. Looking for good Persian food? This is your place, good quality and reasonable/fair prices, not cheap but not expensive for the quality of food. We love their Koobideh it's perfect in our minds and is the best around town for sure. read more

The food gets 4 Stars. Service is 2 Stars. The older lady in the glasses has a bad attitude at times she also added 18% Gratuity to our bill and there wasnt anything stating there would be a "Gratuity" charge added to our bill. If your service was good then I could feel a little better about the charge but it seems a bit excessive. Our $77 bill suddenly jumped to $98. The younger lady is super sweet and attentive so I must shout that out. read more

Hatam Restaurant - 18 % will be added to your bill. Foodie beware. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Food was fine, our beef koobideh was a little rare in the middle and the chicken was over cooked, but the worst part was the forced 18% tip hidden at the bottom of the menu. Staff came around once or twice, after eating behind the counter as they worked. A forced tip is odd for the type of service they give. read more

Hatam Restaurant - Chicken Shish Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Anaheim, California

There are 2 Hatam Restaurants, with this Anaheim location, situated near the 5 and 91 freeways being the first. Hatam has been around for 30+ years and specializes in Persian fare and all the food served here is HALAL. You'll find great tasting kabobs here (beef/chicken kobbideh, barg (filet mignon), and boneless chicken). They offer a variety of chicken, beef, lamb and trout options. Their salads and appetizers, especially borani (sauteed eggplant, yogurt, onions and garlic) are refreshing. They have several rice options including: regular, dill rice, sour cherry rice and my personal favorite: adas polo (basmati rice mixed with raisins, lentils and dates). Besides their restaurant, they do local catering which I have utilized numerous times. I have referred them to colleagues and friends who have had positive experiences as well. On this particular occasion I utilized them to cater a work event for 75 people. The event took place at Irvine Regional Park for lunch. Our menu consisted of: rice, salad, bademgaan (sauteed eggplant dish), beef koobideh kabobs, boneless chicken kabobs, grilled tomatoes, and pita bread. They provided utensils, napkins, take away boxes and arrived on time for our event. I told them I wanted to serve food at 11:30am, and they made my day by arriving at 11am. I had to attend a prayer service at 1pm, so everything worked out perfectly as I was able to get to my appointment on time. Overall I have always had a positive experience with Hatam. The quality of their food is excellent and the pricing for their catering service as well as customer service is excellent! The owner (Hossein) is a really kind man and was available whenever I needed to get in touch with him to make changes to the catering menu as well as quantity of guests. read more

It definitely is a requiring taste so if you like Persian food, I will definitely recommend this place. Not only because the customer service is excellent. It's a clean environment, but the ambience is very welcoming and intimate where you feel welcome. The food is great portions and the prices are reasonable. They do have a decent size menu. I got the lamb which I didn't really care for the taste, it was a little bit too gummy for me but the rice of course was absolutely amazing and then the bread with the onion my first time trying it, but definitely will do this at home so overall experience I would definitely give it at eight out of 10 and I definitely would recommend to anyone that wants to try some authentic Persian food read more

We've been coming to Hatam for years. The food is incredible and in my opinion their soltani kabob is the absolute best in OC. The owner, the servers, the staff are all incredibly sweet and kind. read more

Great for family dining. Came with a group of six and got 2 combo plates and 1 appetizer special. Generous portions with lots of rice. Everything is very flavorful. Dessert was also fantastic, refreshing and aromatic, with rose water and mild saffron flavor. read more

Their beef koobideh is so delicious. I thought the chicken koobideh was a bit bland. My family got the beef barg and said it was gamey and tough. The eggplant appetizer was the highlight of the meal though. It's a cute restaurant on the inside and worth a visit. read more

Amazing catering experience! They gave a great amount of food for the price and they even left us with the hot boxes so the food would continue to stay hot and not crowd the ovens! Amazing customer service all the way to the end, I came down to drop off the hot boxes and the owner offered me more food to take home!! The whole restaurant is a loving family vibe and I can't thank them enough for making my daughter birthday a huge success!! read more

Delicious Persian food. My family has been eating here for years. We always order their food for family parties and everyone loves it. I love their Beef Koobideh and Chicken and their Borani. Definitely a spot worth coming in to try! read more

Excellent kubedei and very good pricing. Super convenient. I call in my order drive up and I'm in and out in minutes

Hatam is a family favorite and is the family favorite of several friends of mine who live(d) in the area. Their dishes are generously portioned out with a hefty serving of rice every time. I love the complimentary bread, along with the onion that adds a nice crunch/flavor punch when eating it. read more

Hatam Restaurant - Beef koobideh - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Anaheim, California

People here are very friendly, so this makes it hard not to leave a five star review. First impression, this place is a little on the dirtier side, fountain outside is very dirty and unfortunately had beautiful koi, but that water is so murky. Inside could use some deep cleaning as well. Employees here are very welcoming and nice, food came out promptly and tasted good. Not many choices for vegetarians though. If you don't prefer meat, I would not recommend coming here. To make matters worse, I'm gluten free as well. read more

I am very disappointed. I feel like they ripped me off on the bill. I wish I had checked it before I left. When I got home and reviewed the receipt, I noticed they added extra charges to the price and also added a 17% gratuity. Malik read more

Hatam Restaurant is consistently amazing. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience from start to finish. The food is incredibly tasty and always cooked perfectly. I love that they bring out complimentary bread with onion and butter--it's such a great touch and really sets the tone for the meal. I always order the koobideh combo, and it is always perfect--great flavor, great portions, and cooked just right every time. The ambiance at the new location is amazing, and I'm so happy they moved here. It's a huge upgrade compared to the old La Palma location and makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Anaheim and craving excellent Persian food. read more

Hatam Restaurant - Appetizer combo - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Anaheim, California

My go to place for Persian food. I honestly think it may be the best Persian restaurant in Southern California!

When Hatam was on Brookhurst, it was the best we used to go all the time back when I worked on Euclid. It was a true Saturday tradition, and the food never disappointed. The quality is still great, and they always hook it up with huge portions for a fair price. If you want authentic Persian food that's flavorful, consistent, and made with care, Hatam is the spot. The place is clean and the service was always friendly I highly recommend this place it's been a favorite for years and still delivers every single time. read more

I have been looking for a good Persian restaurant for a while and I've finally found it. We headed down to Hatam after I searched around for some good Persian places, specifically one that had Zreshk polo. We arrived around three in the afternoon and had no problem being seated. The best way to describe the atmosphere is almost like that if a diner, one run with love where there are definitely regulars and I can see why one would come back, we definitely will. The servers were super friendly and attentive and made us feel at home. To start we ordered their hummus and Torshi (aged pickled vegetables) both of which were super delicious. My wife was dipping everything in the hummus as it was super fresh and flavorful/well balanced. The Torshi was delicious as well and I was eating it by the spoonful. For dinner we both ordered the hatam special. This came with a chicken kabob, a skewer of beef koobideh and lamb chops, a shirazi salad and basmati rice which I upgraded to the Zreshk polo (rice with barberries). Every meat was super juicy, including the chicken breast for the chicken kabob and all were bursting with flavor. The koobideh and lamb chops were juicy and tender and the Zreshk polo was so good, I had a hard time not eating it all. We finished with dessert, I had the Persian ice cream which was flavored with rosewater, saffron and pistachios and my wife had the baklava both of which were really good. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

We got there on a Saturday afternoon and were seated immediately. The appetizer combo was delicious and flavorful. We ordered the chicken koobideh and beef solanti and both meats significantly lacked flavor and seasoning especially compared to other Persian restaurants. Service was great. They add an automatic tip of 18% even for a party of 2. I'm giving 3 stars because the tip was already included and thankfully we had read yelp reviews and were mindful for it and didn't overtip. The meats just wasn't flavorful. We would skip it next time and try somewhere else. read more

We love coming to this Hatam Restaurant vs. the other one in Mission Viejo. This place is by an other owner I believe and you can definitely tell by the portions and the delicious taste of their kabobs. We ordered the Koobideh combo, fresh Hatam dough and Salaam Cola. Just an amazing lunch. Regarding service these people are very nice and kind and because of their great customer service we want to come back to enjoy their delicious food again and again. As for the ambiance they have comfortable setting and beautiful decorations on there walls that make you feel you are in an authentic Persian restaurant in Iran. Just lovely. read more
