Koobideh Combo
Nali G.

Got this place for take out with no expectations and was wowed. Inexpensive and delicious Persian food. You get a lot of food (especially rice)-which gave me plenty of leftovers for the next day. The chicken koobideh was especially flavorful. Both kabobs were juicy as well. You get butter, fresh onion, lime and a small pile of some thin flatbread (sorry idk the name). I can't attest to their service and ambience yet but I can definitely recommend the food!

be careful when exiting this parking lot. cars park on the street close to the exit.

+ I enjoyed the flavor and amount of meat in my Barg combo. + Polite, efficient, helpful service. + Pleasant ambience. + Plenty of indoor seating. - Slightly cramped parking. - Lacking veggies. A quick Google reveals Persian gastronomy includes a healthy diverse combination of vegetables. Unfortunately my meal here included only tomato and onion. - Thus, got bored about 2/3 through my meal. - Extortionate. At +$25, disappointed of my non-well-rounded meal. - If ordering to-go, they put pre-exposed utensils in a foldtop bag. They don't provide pre-sealed utensils. - Smell of smoke right out the front door. - Only remote ordering options were by phone call or the usual UberEats/Postmates. Couldn't find a money-saving option. I had: Barg Combo + tax = $26.93

The entrees with their signature sauce are a must, especially for the Kabob Barg, which is marinated filet mignon. It's a yogurt garlic lemon mixture that ads the perfect Mediterranean flavor to any meat. We ordered to go since we had our dog with us, and there's no patio seating. Their small parking lot is shared by many other businesses, but we were lucky enough to get a spot. Like you can barely turn around to get out if you enter and there is no parking left. But even so, we will definitely be back!

Been eyeing this place for a very long while - and finally decided to give it a shot. Hubby and I both ordered the Beef & Chicken Koubideh with Rice Combo and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of food we got. Spoiler alert: we weren't able to finish our food. Each combo came with a side salad and the service was great. At Naan & Kabob, you place your order and pay - then they'll either bring out your food or pack it for to go. We also ordered Hummus with naan and everything was devine. The food was amazing and we didn't know why we'd never tried it before! At the end, we had a little bit of hummus left, and we still wanted to take it to go. So when we told the server, he was nice enough to give us a whole new side of hummus to go! Wow! If that's not great service, idk what is! We will definitely be back for more! If you haven't tried this place out, it's def worth a shot! Great food and even better service.

Chicken Barg with Rice
Angelica B.

Food is delicious. It's a small space, in an even smaller shopping center. Parking is horrible. But again the food is very very good. It's much better and tastier than Fresh off the Boat. Service depends on who you get as a server. Also great for lunch. Highly recommended.

Boneless chicken thigh dinner
Cameron E.

I've been to Naan and Kabob multiple times and the experience is always great. The staff and service are always friendly and very helpful, and they make you feel welcome every time you visit. The portion sizes are always very reasonable for the price, and the pricing itself is very fair for the amount of food you get. One of my favorite things to order is the boneless chicken thigh dinner. It is packed with flavor and always very juicy and well cooked. Overall, it's a very reliable place for good food, good portions, and friendly service. I would definitely recommend it.

Went to N&K on a Saturday afternoon. Got the Chicken Barg Dinner (the Lunch option is only available on weekdays from 11:00 to 15:00) with the half rice/half salad option for an additional $2.00. Since this meal comes with either a soup or salad, I got the soup since I had already added the half rice/half salad option. Everything was delicious. The first item to arrive was the Naan. The Naan was warm, thin and soft. The Naan comes with butter and raw onions - perfect to complement the Naan. The next item was the Ash Reshteh soup. The soup was flavorful with a medium consistency. The final item was the Chicken Barg Dinner. The salad dressing was an acidic with mild seasoning. The rice was cooked perfectly. The chicken was tender, moist and seasoned well. Service was very friendly. Parking was a little challenging since N&K is located in a small strip mall.

I love their kebab
Tony J.

Busy today, the food was delicious as always. Service was just a little bit off. There were some people that waited and were not happy about that time for their meal to be served. The staff mentioned that the only Persian here now, is the chef. The demographics of the customers are changing, and they're more attentive to that.

Salmon Kabab
Michele B.

Last Sunday evening, I ate there with friends. I enjoyed the generous fresh and delicious dinner portions for under $21.00! My other friend goes there frequently and she enjoys the authentic homemade Persian food especially the Tahini. I enjoyed the vegan Fesenjan but they have options to have it with meat. I tasted my friend's delicious Salmon kabab. The male waiter was attentive!

There are masks being worn by both patrons and staff. I visit there often and seeing masks the entire time. Of course when you sit inside to eat, you can take your mask off while eating.

Is this place halal?

Hi, I asked. They said they serve Halal meat and I asked where is your Halal sign on the door? They replied oh should we have it? LOL

Do they cater?

No, they don't cater

Not sure, there is a halal sign in the restaurant.

Found Soltani while driving around Santa Ana. I went around 12p(noon), there was plenty of parking…read moreas well as available tables in the dining area. I was greeted with a smile by the gentleman cooking behind the counter and I was able to self seat at the table of my choosing. The person that took my order was very kind and instructed me to grab a beverage from the fridge if I'd like. I ordered a simply chicken and rice plate with a side of their salad. I can't recall the name but it was very tasty, fresh, and delicious. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was flavorful. I enjoy the roasted tomatoes as well as the jalapeno on the side. It brought even more flavor and texture to the meal. Soltani is worth checking out if you are looking for a Mediterranean spot in Santa Ana

My first time at this location and it will quite interesting. The restaurant said they open at 11…read moreand when we got there it was closed. Waited 10 minutes and the cook came out and said the owners Muhammad isn't here so only to go orders. I was stumped as there were no signed that said only to go orders here. Unfortunately I had brought my friends with me and we wanted to sit down and enjoy our meal. So finally the cook said yes. I realize what the issue was. He was the only one here and cannot service and cook at the same time. So I helped set up our table and went ahead and grabbed our own drinks and proceeded to order. I had forgotten that at these places they don't give water for free so we had to buy it for $1.49 and juices were higher. We ordered the mini chicken kabob $11.99 which was super delicious. The rice and kabob were cooked to perfection. I also ordered their boiled chicken with cranberry rice $14.99. The cook asked me several times if I truly wanted it and I said sure. Now I know why he asked me several times. It literally was boiled chicken in heavy grease and very salty. Definitely would not get this again. The cranberry rice I'd say was good. Next time if I ever do come I'd get the chicken kabob over the cranberry rice. After an hour the owner Muhammad came and asked if we needed anything. He's a very nice guy and moves slow and you can tell he doesn't want to hire additional workers. Just only the cook. Oh well. Another friend of mine came late and she also ordered the chicken kabob but full portion. The hummus that was ordered wasn't good. There wasn't any tahini sauce at all. It was just mashed up garbanzo beans but at least it tasted fresh. Let's just say overall interesting experience. Would probably only come back if I really craved the cranberry rice. I felt bad for the cook as he was handling all to go orders, and taking calls, and servicing us and cleaning up so that I gave him a tip. Hopefully my next experience at this place will be better.

The koobideh meat came out hot, was well seasoned and also very tasty! The plate came with two kabobs and a side of basmati rice! The portion was so large I could only eat one of the kabobs. Had the second one the next day for lunch!! Score!!! The only thing I wish was that they had something spicy to add to the dish, but no luck on that! Sorry no pics!!

What a lovely family-owned Iranian restaurant!…read more Food? This is a limited menu, but it is sooooo good! Everything is cooked to order. The ingredients are high quality. The kitchen looks more like a home kitchen in that it is well-stocked but it is filled with love. You can't go wrong with anything you choose here! Service? This is a mom-and-pop style restaurant. Service is helpful, especially if you're not familiar with Iranian food. Order taking is efficient. They do a bang up take out business in this strip mall that is quite a way away from the beaten track but is in larger suburbia. Ambiance? The tables are more casual style but with larger tables for family style dining. Decor is modern but done in blues and white with Iranian pottery and hangings, but placed sparingly. It's clean, not cluttered. I love this place and if I lived in the Inland Empire, I would totally make a one hour drive to get this delicious cuisine!

Kabob is a very common term today for many food lovers. Though not all kabobs are the same as the…read moreword is loosely used to describe skewered meat that is grilled. Generally speaking, there are two types of Kabobs: chunks of skewered meat and minced meat mixed with other things (spices, veg, etc.) shaped into long round-ish meat strips. If you are into the latter type of Kabob - you will NOT find better than the ones they make here. At Hatam, that type of kabob is referred to as Koobideh. They have Kabobs, but they use that term for the meat chunks. But let's talk about the Koobideh for a sec. Juicy, flavorful, freshly grilled to perfection - no sauce needed. Not overly spiced, so you still taste the perfectly charred meat. Sooo good!! Koobideh is the Persian style of the elongated Kabob, and though there are a few other places that serve Koobideh - Hatam is the BEST in all of orange county - hands down. Other really good options are their chicken and beef Barg - so goood!! I could really come here every day! They have a good size menu if you want to be adventurous, but I'm here for the koobideh which is served next to fluffy basmati rice in very generous portions. The location is a charming little hut style restaurant - very clean though when they are busy can feel a little crowded. The staff are nice - they come around and ask if everything is OK and check in often. If you like to try different types of food, give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. Fair warning, it is a bit on the pricier side, but their portions are large. They do have a lunch menu with lower priced lunch portions. The dinner portions can often be shared by two people if you're not a heavy eater. Hatam Koobideh is the best!!!

The food itself still great most everything was perfect. But I gotta see the customer service was not good, I was being rushed every minute the server was coming to the table, asking if I was ready to order, I mentioned to her that I was new to this cuisine and I wanted to try something new, when I ask questions she just told me to read the menu, no once they come to check if everything was OK. We order an appetizer on the menu. It says $13. She said the price was a little bit different but when the bill came, it was $33 for the appetizer and that's insane. But I was having a lunch celebration for my birthday and we didn't wanna kill the vibe so we just paid for it but we're not happy at all. So honestly, even though the food is still great, I probably will never go back there. My first experience was a five star and today it was a two star just because the food still great otherwise would be a zero star. I'm very disappointed.
