5 stars

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hatam Restaurant in Anaheim, California, and I must say, it was an experience that surpassed all expectations.

So this is a long overdue review, I'm a second generation longtime customer(since 98 to be exact) was first brought to hatam restaurant by my parents(30+ yrs customers) and became my to go place and have never had the necessity nor desire to search for another Persian restaurant in 27 yrs. Food taste has not changed, prices and portions are at par with each other which is why my family and i have been bringing our business to hatam restaurant in anaheim. I've randomly and/or sporadically spoken with the dish washers, waitors, hostesses, cooks, food preparers who have spoken wonders of the owner, which i've my self had the oportunity to talk to at times, and i can see why hatam had been in business for so long. Management cares for their employees, employees do their work with care and that gets transmitted to the customer by the good service, great tasting food and enjoyable atmosphere through out the restaurant. I believe that's the key to a successful business. I had a little mishap about a year or two ago where i dropped my debit card and 5k in a pouch on the floor of the restaurant at a lunch business meeting, called the restaurant after closing and they had found it, that my 5k and debit card were in there to not worry. The money was counted and put back in the pouch and returned with no money missing also a reward given as a thanks to finder. Before that mishap i was a satisfied repeat customer for many years, now its a business i consider as close friends. If this review does not tell you hatam in anaheim is a hidden gem i wouldn't know what will. Special thanks to SAMI and HUSSAIN from a long time customer and friend, Keep up the good business practice and ethics to continue serving super delicious food and above and beyond...

There's no denying the food is absolutely phenomenal, FIVE stars. Portions are very large and we always have left overs to enjoy the next day. Prices are not low, considering the modest atmosphere, but not terribly high. As to the poor service, and hence the 3 stars, I receive, and expect, better service at a fast food restaurant or taco shop! The gentleman waiter, I only see one man waiter there with the rest being lady waitresses, is courteous and friendly, although like the rest of the servers always seems overwhelmed even when the restaurant is virtually with no customers. Posted closing time is 10pm. 6 of us show up at 9:25 and are asked by the waiter to place our food order at the register before we sit because kitchen will be closing in 5 minutes. We would have taken our guests to McDonald's if we wanted to do so. Not acceptable of a respectable business. We politely declined the offer as we didn't want to be rushed. The gentleman was apologetic but two of the ladies had to add their RUDE remarks shrugging their shoulders as if they couldn't care less about our inconvenience of driving 20 minutes only to be turned away. I own my own business and can't claim that I am not displeased with late customers but I never show it and am always welcoming knowing that I will have a repeat customer. We are sorry to say that there are other restaurant options which we'll make sure we explore after many years of being...
