Hatam Persian Restaurant

1112 North Brookhurst Street
Anaheim, CA 92801

HALAL seal

This place does not look like anything special from the outside. In fact, you can’t really tell that it’s a restaurant. It’s located behind a gas station and placed next to a grocery store. The front does not show any signs of life inside, except the voices from behind. Once you are seated inside, it’s a cozy living room space turned into an eating area. The food seems a bit expensive when you read the menu with the prices, but the portions are HUGE. It’s well worth the money.

They brought some pita bread wrapped in cloth.

We ordered a salad and ate it with the pita bread.

The main dish I ordered was called Fesenjon. It’s a chicken stew simmered in pomegranate sauce. It had a sweet taste and the tender chicken pieces went well with the sauce. It cost $12.99 and I think the portion size was generous. I ended up taking a large portion of it home since I was unable to finish it.

Very beautiful location. I loved the outside area, where you could sit and read. It looked like there was a Jacuzzi as well, but I don’t know if people actually use it.

The library inside was great. It seemed like an old church converted into a library and I liked that feeling.
