But here's the thing: Finding what you need? Good luck. The place is kind of a mess. Stuff feels randomly tossed on shelves, and good organization is nowhere to be found. Need spices? Maybe they're by the snacks. Or the drinks. Who knows! It's like a treasure hunt, but not the fun kind. I want to love this place--it's got the looks and space to be amazing--but until they sort out the clutter and actually organize their stock, it's more frustrating than convenient. Still, if you're not in a hurry and don't mind digging, you might score some cool finds. Fix the chaos!!

The restaurant is all vegetarian! This is a big plus for vegetarians who are doing it for moral reasons. The price is around average/above-average, and the service is slow. We had to remind servers several times to check on where our order was. Our thali was missing some items that were filled only after a few reminders. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The excellent food choices make it worth the price and the wait.

Persians are very picky and judgy when it comes to their cuisine. Everyone is a chef and of it doesn't bring back the nostalgia of your childhood at grandmas it doesnt pass the test. I judge a place based on their koobieh. Lets be honest, if your koobieh sucks, Houston we have a problem! Tonight, I decided to order the lamb shank with baghali polo, along with a family style appetizer consisting of mast-o-khiar, hummas, kashkeh-bademjoon, salad shirazi, and a side of mausto-mousir. My cousin ordered Tahdig for the table with different toppings. Everyone at the table ordered Soltanis, Chicken Barg and other options. Lets talk about ambiance: when you enter you are greeted by ornate art, calm atmosphere and fresh flowers. Love the lighting, its soft and inviting. Pouya our server was kind and friendly. He single handedly helped manover a "game of thrones" type style between my cousin and myself trying to sneak in our credit-cards before the meal even started so it would be taken care of ahead of time. The persian bill paying struggle is real. IYKYK. Lets just say, this girl won that one against my guy cousin with the parents watching dinner and show. Hehhee. The highlight for me was the bread ,butter,onions served first. I was hungry and the bread was made in house and fresh. It was warm, soft and paired well with the onions, and butter. I ordered more throughout the meal to eat with the mausto-mousir ( shallot and yogurt dip). Hands down out of the appetizer, the tahdigh ( crispy rice), khashk bademjoon ( eggplant dip), cucumber dip, shallot with yogurt dip were the stars of the night. The beef shank with Baghali polo was top on my list. The dill/lima beans rice paired well with the lamb shank. It was tender, tasty ( didnt have a gamey taste, or smell) and that says something for a girl born here. Kids like me born here, usually dont touch lamb because of the gamey, smell . So eating it at Hatam was a great experience for me. I would order this again. Our family had a great night out in a chill environment, devoid of any triggers for me that may have caused some health issues and it was a needed break. The ADA parking and easy access is also appreciated. Overall, I would recommend Hatam. I found out from my mom, that Hatam has also been the "go to" caterer for her parties so, that says something about quality of food and meeting expectations my mom has in place.10/10 Please note doing 1/2 salad and 1/2 rice will be $3.00 extra.

Hatam offers the best dishes that you truly could not go wrong with any of them. Their koobideh is so incredibly juicy and flavorful, it is a staple during every visit. Their tahdig is crisp to perfection and the stew that comes with it is so flavorful that i think about it at least twice a week. The service is PHENOMENAL, just recently that waitress that was helping us inside was so kind and attentive that we were taken aback at how much care she put into her work.

The place is spotlessly clean, the service is exceptionally great, and the menu is so exhaustive you might need a bookmark. We went all-in on the dinner service. The Naan was fresh, pillowy, and tasty enough to eat on its own. The Chicken 65 was prepared with the exact right amount of spice--perfectly balanced and making me wonder what happened to chickens 1 through 64. The Dahl was fantastic, but the absolute showstopper was the Biryani. Take it from someone who has spent time working in Hyderabad: this is the real deal, highly reminiscent of the city's absolute finest. We finished things off with the Shahi Tukda, which was so incredibly rich and tasty it probably needs its own tax bracket. Beyond the food, the logistics are a breeze. It's right off El Toro Road with ample parking (a true Southern California miracle). They also offer catering if you want to be the hero of your next event. We didn't get to try the lunch special this time, but it's an incredible value--two entrees, rice, naan, and a drink, neatly sidestepping the usual buffet trough. Bottom line: Go here. Eat everything. Thank me later.

I had the best experience when I…read morefirst tried it and the owner used to run it but as time went along the wait kept getting longer and longer literally 45 minute wait times for my order with only 2 people in front of me so I stopped ordering for a while. Don't get me wrong the food is good so I left 2 stars. Last week I decided to give it a another shot.. I updated my review due to the audacity of the young kid running it now. I place an order and after 35 minutes!! and only 2 single orders before me that were also waiting forever (again) he comes out to say "I'm sorry I don't have the ingredients to finish your order would you like salad or fries?" What!?! I was standing right in front of the truck the entire time and he would make eye contact with me every time he would look out of the trailer.. why not save me the 35 minutes and tell me when I placed my order?? Weird and rude. The wait is no longer worth it. I understand food is made to order but when your main menu revolves around kabobs and kabobs why not have a few spinning over the fire ready to go so when you get a "rush" of 2 people you can be more efficient? Idk just a thought and a solid idea for the owner.
