The food was expensive. They didn’t serve salad with the meat and rice. They charged an 18% service fee. That’s really too much.

We checked Google before visiting Hatam Restaurant last night (Saturday) and saw that their hours are listed as open until 9:00 PM. We arrived at 8:15 PM, well within their posted hours, but were told immediately that we had to pay our bill by 8:30 PM because the cashier would be closing early.
After being seated, I went to wash my hands before touching any food, and while I was at the restroom the hostess came over asking me to place our order right there in the hallway, which felt completely inappropriate. When I returned to the table, another member of our group also went to wash his hands, and the hostess again insisted on taking the order even though our party wasn’t complete at the table.
When I pointed out that her attitude was unprofessional and reminded her of the posted 9:00 PM closing time, she responded that they shouldn’t have let us in at all! Instead of apologizing for the contradiction, she was dismissive and rude.
The entire incident took less than three minutes, and we ended up leaving by 8:18 without ordering. If the restaurant chooses to close early, they should update their posted hours to avoid misleading customers. Based on this experience, we won’t be returning.
We will also be following up with the Better Business Bureau, the California Department of Consumer Affairs, and the County Consumer Protection Office to report this as false advertising and deceiving customers.
I went to this Persian restaurant recently. The food itself was alright, nothing special for the price point. What really surprised me was how expensive everything was. On top of those already high prices, they automatically added an 18% gratuity to my bill—which I found pretty ridiculous, . Overall, not worth it in my opinion
I came in looking to order food for myself and a group of six or seven friends who had never tried Persian food before. I wanted to make sure we got the best dishes and enough portions to share, and the woman at the counter couldn’t have been more helpful. She patiently guided me through the menu, made sure the servings were generous, and even offered me tea and sweets while I waited. She surprised us with extra dishes and desserts we hadn’t ordered, and everything came out in large portions that were absolutely delicious. The food was excellent, but what stood out most was the kindness and generosity of the service. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of. We’ll definitely be back again.
Also she packaged things so so well the heat was preserved and we were able to travel so easily with it.
10/10 experience. Enjoyed every aspect!
