Our food was excellent and the portions are extremely large! I had the chicken shish kabob and it was wonderful. For a small up-charge you can have a half portion of rice and a salad. I would recommend the house salad, which has lots of good things (feta cheese, walnuts, olives). You still receive more than enough rice and I couldn’t even eat all of the half portion. As others have stated, the food is a bit slow in coming but we were chatting with friends so we didn’t mind the extra time. I had a Persian tea and it was tasty and my husband said the coffee was very good. There are two large dining rooms with totally different decor in the two rooms. You also have the option of nice outdoor patio dining. Prices are fair. The food prep is halal.

We love the food and wonderful service. We eat here a few times every week. If we have family and friends come in from out of town this is their favorite and first place they want to visit. Please try it , you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Hatam family we appreciate all that you do.

We placed an order through Doordash and the driver picked up with a missing item, when we realized one of the items was missing, the driver said the staff member at Hatam had told her he had contacted us. We never received a phone call from Hatam, the driver knew he was lying. When we called the restaurant, the staff member was extremely rude and told me he had refunded the money, when I asked why he didn't call, since one of my kids was left with no food to ask for something else, he told me to complain with Doordash and hung up. I would not be so mad if he would have called to let us know they were out of something, we understand and we would have just ordered something else. We have been dining here for a long time but now I rather wait in line at Ranch Market.

Service and food were all prepared very well. No waiting and we were given choice seating and with a planned show they got us in and out.

I have been craving Persian for awhile so I decided to give this restaurant a try. The restaurant has great ambience and great service. They are located in a shopping center with decent partying and they have a fire pit in front which would come in great for outdoor seating. Our waiter was funny and charming. With that said the food was good not great. The servings are very generous. Maybe it was the dish I ordered. The chicken was a little dry. Other it was a good experience. I can tell they get regular diners.

I've eaten a lot of Persian food as an American. I have 2 favorite dishes, one of which is Adas Polo with chicken. The chicken was dry and the rice with dates, etc., wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to.
On the other hand, the restaurant itself has lovely decor and the service is excellent.

Hatam is our go-to restaurant when we want to eat Persian food. My favorite is the combination Fillet Mignon and Beef Koobideh with Adas Polo rice. My wife's favorite is the grilled White Fish that she eats with their cucumber, onions and tomato salad. The portions are generous enough that we take home half and eat the next day. I highly recommend this place.

I took some friends here for the first time to eat Persian food, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. The atmosphere is lovely, the background music is perfect and not too loud. But the food was the real star of the show: delicious, beautifully prepared and served by a waiter who had kindly explained each dish. He also brought us a small sample of one of the rice dishes to make sure we wouldn’t be disappointed with our choice. And these were not southern California prices- very reasonable. Frankly any one of the dinner plates we ordered could have served 2 people easily. I don’t know how they stay in business. I can’t wait to go again and try some more of their amazing dishes.

The food quality is great. My wife and I eat at Hatam at least a couple of times a month and we love the food. Generous portions. Service is very good.
