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.

I really loved the Vada Pav it was probably my favorite! The Pani Puri shots were of course great and a must try! We also got chicken tandoori & Their garlic naan has to be my favorite I've tried! We were so full we definitely needed to go boxes but we also still had to try desert! We got Malai Kulfi it was so rich and creamy and honestly is going to haunt my dreams until I get back to OC! We sat outside which was very nice and mellow the lights on the patio were super cute. The owner was there and was super helpful and attentive! Our server was also very kind!

Not good. Weird flavors…read more Both the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken were very sweet... tasted very off. The onion bhaji were just bad... rubbery and flavorless. The naan was kind of wet when we opened the aluminum foil. The samosa was bizarrely coated in salt almost entirely. So freaking weird. The samosa chaat was not bad. Would not recommend.

Shout out to our server Pouya for making last night memorable. Having out of town guests can be…read morefun, and when they specifically requested Persian Food we called and decided on Hatam. 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. Beautiful restaurant in every way, they have earned a lifelong customer in me !

I was craving Greek food for lunch and found this eatery nearby. It's located off the 5 fwy and…read moreLake Forest Dr. It's in a medium-sized shopping plaza near Cycle Gear. Plenty of parking is available in the shared lot. Upon arrival, I realized that they share space with Zach's Chicken. The space is rather large with lots of tables, both indoors and outdoors. I stepped up to the counter and no one was there. I saw a "Self Kiosk" next to the counter so I ordered from there. The experience seemed kind of impersonal to me. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken bowl with basmati rice and the 2 sides I chose were lemon garlic potatoes 2x. The total came out to $15 and some change. It took approx 10 min for my food to come out, which wasn't long at all. The smell of the garlic was very strong, and I'm pretty sure my car will smell like garlic for the rest of the week. I ordered this particular item because all of the reviews for it were very positive. The chicken was tender and it was flavorful, but it didn't knock my socks off. It only came with 5 pieces. The lemon garlic potatoes were also just average. And the basmati rice seemed more wet than it typically should be. For the amount of food, I didn't think it warranted $15. In my opinion, there are better Greek eateries in the area.

Idk what happened to this truck but the service has gone downhill. 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.
