    Koobideh Combo
    Michelle R.

    It's been a while since I had food here. They used to be located off Brookhurst and the 5 freeway and now they're off Lincoln. Food is excellent, fair priced and plenty of basmati rice. Overall a great meal. Service could be more attentive.

    Chicken koobideh with lubia polo

    I wanted to come here with my family during New Year's Eve for Persian food. There's a lot of seating inside, and we didn't have to wait to get a table. It was nice to see different tables with both group and solo diners. We each got rice dishes and shared borani ($8.99), a warm appetizer dip with eggplant and yogurt. We had complimentary pita bread to eat the dip. I got the koobideh combo ($18.99) with lubia polo ($4), a savory rice with beef, green beans, tomatoes, and other spices. While lubia polo has an add-on fee, it makes the dish much better, even when the default basmati rice already tastes good. The beef that comes with the lubia polo is very soft and has a hint of sweetness. The ground chicken and beef were so juicy. As usual, their cooking is very commendable. Also, like always, we had leftovers to take home. Service is good, and the usual staff checked in on us multiple times. The staff here recognize us, and they're friendly. Note that they add 18% gratuity on to your dine-in receipt. Any tips would be on top of the required service charge. Overall, I highly recommend coming here for filling and delicious Persian rice dishes.

    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.

    I called at 8:30 pm since they say they close at 9pm. The phone rang and a female employee answered with " sorry, we're closed" and hung up without giving me a second to say anything. I understand you are not taking any orders since it's 30 min before closing but it's extremely rude to just answer, make a statement and hang up on someone. I'm truly disappointed with the customer service and disrespect.

    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.

    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.

    Lamb
    Shaquanna W.

    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!

Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

But the "Catch Feelings" Chicken Wrap at Kareem's? It genuinely needs a emotional warning label. I ordered it thinking I was just grabbing a quick bite on the go. Big mistake. Huge. Now I'm driving down Brookhurst having a full-blown existential crisis because a wrap has better structural integrity and emotional depth than most people I've dated. First off, whoever is back there assembling these wraps isn't just making food; they are practicing architectural geometry. Most spots toss your veggies in like they're launching confetti at a parade, leaving you with one bite of pure lettuce and another of pure existential dread. Not Kareem's. Every single bite is a masterclass in balance: vibrant, bright, colorful veggies that actually crunch, perfectly seasoned and juicy protein, and a sauce so ridiculously good I'm convinced it's strictly classified under international law. It's colorful, it's mouth-watering, and yes, I absolutely caught feelings. I am now in a committed relationship with a pita-wrapped masterpiece. And can we talk about the hummus? Smooth as a smooth-talking salesperson, richer than a crypto influencer, and paired with proteins that are cooked with actual respect. If you are anywhere near 1208 S Brookhurst St, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be prepared: you will leave addicted, you will crave it at 2 AM on a Tuesday, and you will never look at a standard wrap the same way again. 10/10, no notes, sending Kareem's my therapist bills.
