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.

Chicken Shish Kabob
Ash M.

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.

18 % will be added to your bill. Foodie beware.

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.

Boneless Chicken Kabobs

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.

Lamb

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

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!

A little hard to find even when your GPS Nav System says "You've arrived at your destination."…read more I arrived at a Jewelry Store, and eventually saw a sign the size of a recipe card "Kabaji Grill" with a small arrow pointing down an alley. Take a right and right there, on your right is Kabaji Grill, right? Right. Pass through a glassed in patio with many tables from which you can watch the odd scruffy local watching your car. Eventually, the patio will fill with hungry people and a haze of Hookah smoke. I checked in with the Hostee and waited for her to make eye contact. She was polite but flirting with being curt. She looked up from her Cell and waited for me to speak. "I've come to eat here." Without a word she bid me to follow her and I did. She stopped at a table in the rear dining room and her chin motioned me to sit. I sat. "Ready to order?" she asked as soon as my butt nestled onto the chair. "I am waiting for someone." I replied. She nodded and floated back to her podium like a ballerina on skates. A few minutes later she returned. "Are you ready to order?" "I am waiting for someone." Off she sashayed. I inspected my surroundings. The Table cloth had a mosaic of spots where food had landed due to prior enthusiastic dining. Half the spots found the chairs. Okay, four enthusiastic diners. Turning attention to the menu my guest texted "I am hopelessly lost." The menu displayed a note, noting that the Full Menu was in transition and would be available soon, just not for me. But there is plenty to choose from any way. Much of the Menu is written in phonetic Arabic. You might consider a crash Babbel Course to hit the chair "ready to order." A music loop suddenly invaded my harmony. The Middle Eastern music would have been better suited for enhanced interrogation. But then it is a Middle Eastern resto so its appropriate. I embraced the loop which set the tone for dining well in Beirut when Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East. The Staff: Fadwa. Yes, Fadwa. Not to be confused with Fatwa. She was a delight in a spotless Kabaji Grill Tee Shirt. A smile to light up the room. She was helpful, ready with a suggestion, and it was apparent she enjoyed caring for her quests like a mother hen. No one can say Fadwa was a bad Ma. Having her guests enjoy their dinner here was her primary mission. She succeeded. Initially I thought the food was seriously Syrian instead of lovely Lebanese, which it is. The Food: Mumtaz! My guest staggered in with the Hostee who asked, need I say it? "Ready to order?" The first item out of the kitchen was a mound of terrific Taboulleh as large as a football helmet. It was dressed with quality Olive Oil and Lemon. This was easily the best Taboulleh I have ever had and worth having chopped Parsley work it's way between every tooth. A basket of fresh baked Pita showed up shortly and was a perfect platform to enjoy the entire meal. Next came the Shish Tawook (Chicken Kebob) right from the Grill. A roasted Onion, Tomato and a Jalapeno as big as Shaq's thumb graced the plate in addition to excellent Garlic Sauce and Shatta (Hot Sauce). A cup of sliced Cornichon was a welcome addition. Stuff a Pita with everything you can reach. The Pita is sturdy enough to handle it. The Chicken Nuggets were devoid of grease and/or fat. They were all tender, moist, juicy and piquant. What else could you want? Peace in the Levant? How about starting with this Shish Tawook? Peace will come. If everyone involved had this to eat, peace would come quicker. I was truly delicious. So, let's see, oh gee, I'm coming back to Kababji as soon as finish the leftovers I took home.

This was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. I understand it was busy…read moreand I took that into consideration. But from the moment we sat down things felt off. We were given large plastic plates and dirty forks while the table next to us received nice plates, napkins, and full utensils. We had to ask for knives and still did not get them. Our food came out with no bread and no knives. We waited and waited. When bread finally came it was cold. The food itself was also cold. They gave us only two knives for the entire table and no serving spoons. We were using small forks to serve salad and rice to each other. The shareable meal is advertised as feeding five people, but what we received was nowhere near enough. The portions were very small, especially the sides. To make it worse, the table next to us ordered the exact same meal and was given dips and warm house made bread. We were given cold store bought bread instead. It honestly felt like we were treated differently and it was very uncomfortable. هذه كانت بصراحة واحدة من أسوأ تجارب المطاعم التي مررت بها على الإطلاق. أتفهم أن المكان كان مزدحمًا، وأخذت ذلك بعين الاعتبار، لكن منذ اللحظة التي جلسنا فيها كان هناك شيء غير مريح. تم تقديم أطباق بلاستيكية كبيرة لنا مع شوك متسخة، بينما الطاولة المجاورة حصلت على أطباق جميلة، ومناديل، وأدوات مائدة كاملة. اضطررنا لطلب السكاكين، ومع ذلك لم نحصل عليها. وصل الطعام من دون خبز ومن دون سكاكين. انتظرنا طويلًا، وعندما وصل الخبز أخيرًا كان باردًا. والطعام نفسه كان باردًا أيضًا. أعطونا سكينين فقط للطاولة كاملة، ومن دون أي ملاعق للتقديم. كنا نستخدم شوكًا صغيرة لتقديم السلطة والأرز لبعضنا البعض. الوجبة المخصصة للمشاركة يُعلن عنها على أنها تكفي خمسة أشخاص، لكن ما قُدم لنا لم يكن كافيًا على الإطلاق. الكميات كانت صغيرة جدًا، خصوصًا الأطباق الجانبية. وما زاد الأمر سوءًا أن الطاولة المجاورة طلبت الوجبة نفسها تمامًا، وتم تقديم صلصات لهم وخبز دافئ طازج من المطعم. أما نحن فتم إعطاؤنا خبزًا باردًا جاهزًا من المتجر. بصراحة، شعرت أننا عوملنا بطريقة مختلفة، وكان ذلك مزعجًا وغير مريح جدًا. كنا قد خرجنا للاحتفال مع جدتي بمناسبة الأعياد، وهذه التجربة أزعجتها كثيرًا. كانت حزينة فعلًا، وهذا جعل الليلة كلها أكثر خيبة أمل. مقابل هذا السعر، ما حصل غير مقبول تمامًا. لا أنصح بهذا المطعم إطلاقًا. هناك خيارات أفضل بكثير في أنهايم

T-Kebob is a spot that specializes in their kebobs. I had their Monterey Park location a few times…read moreand was excited to try this spot to see how the quality compares. I went here with my girlfriend at around 7:00 pm on a weekday and we needed to wait before we could get a seat. While there was a lot of seating, there seemed to not be enough staff to manage a new section of the store. Once we got seated, we browsed their ordering sheet. After giving the staff the sheet, it took about 10 minutes to get all of our skewers. Prior to the skewers, the sides are given out first. For skewers, we got the marinated beef, beef and pineapple, and pork belly. We also got an order of the cold noodle, which ended up pairing well with the skewers. The quality of the skewers is equivalent to the Monterey park location! I'll probably skip out on the beef and pineapple one for a future visit and lean towards the other flavors. The service was okay. They seemed to be understaffed at the time so we needed to find the staff to ask additional sides and the check; they didn't check up on us.

Skewers: 5/5 Chawanmushi freebie: 5/5…read moreDrinks: 5/5 hits the spot Service: 4.5/5 The restaurant itself is clean. The grill bases for each table are much wider than most places, so leg room is limited. The only thing that wasn't the best was the temperature in the restaurant. It was a tad too hot for having the air on. Overall I would love to give a 4.5 for this place! 100% would recommend.
