Who knew such great Persian cuisine could exist in Anaheim? Hatam Restaurant was voted just that; “Best” Persian cuisine and they have the chops to prove it.

Their menu is so extensive it will no doubt please everyone at your table. Start off with a tasty appetizer like the Dolmeh or their delicious Hummus. It is the best hummus in Orange County for sure. And if you’ve never tried Persian soup try it at Hatam, it is absolutely scrumptious, one of the best soups I have ever tasted. For an entrée my party shared the Trout; whole, fresh, marinated and fried, and the Lamb Chops; mouthwatering and wonderful.

Hatam’s also offers a variety of stews; including Fesenjon and Bademjan. Or you can order up a combination platter if you can’t decide, believe me it’s hard to make a choice. They also serve sandwiches and fabulous desserts like Baghlava and Bamieh; glazed with honey they are yummy. And you’ve got to try the pitcher of Dough or some pomegranate juice to go along with.
