" I usually don’t leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Hatam. The ambiance was lovely, yet I encountered a few minor issues with the service. It took quite a while to receive our drinks, and I felt rushed when ordering. On a brighter note, the food was absolutely delicious. The kofta was rich and perfectly spiced, and the dessert we had was equally delightful. Overall, I think I’d return, hoping for a smoother dining experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Hatam last night, and while the ambiance was superb, which made the meal enjoyable, the food fell short of my expectations. The flavors were there, but everything felt under-seasoned. We ordered a few different dishes and while they were decent, I couldn't help but feel craving more flavor overall. Also, the service wasn’t up to par; our server was nice but missed several of our requests. Despite this, I'd likely give it another chance, as I know places can have off days. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated a special occasion at Hatam, and although the ambiance was perfect, I was disappointed with the food quality. The kabobs were overcooked, making them tough and chewy. The rice, while flavorful, was a touch dry for my liking. The service was attentive, but it felt like they were overwhelmed, as it took a while for our orders to arrive. I hope they can return to their previous quality because it had so much potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hatam has secured its spot as one of my top restaurants for Persian cuisine! Each visit has been a delight. The staff are consistently welcoming and attentive. Recently, I tried the Albalou polo and it was an absolute treat—the cherries brought a unique flavor that I had never experienced before. The kabobs are juicy and well-grilled, making every bite a pleasure. During busy times, I've experienced a slight delay with service, but it has never detracted from my overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting an authentic Persian dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Hatam was enchanting, a completely different vibe from the regular fast-casual dining. Every detail screamed warmth and hospitality. We sampled different dishes, and the dish that truly stood out was the garlic yogurt with dolmeh. Those flavors lingered long after our meal! Even though there were small gaffes in our service, the unforgettable food quality overshadowed those little nuances. I would highly recommend Hatam to any Persian cuisine enthusiast. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to trying Hatam for a while now and finally managed to visit last weekend. The environment was nice and cozy, but I felt the service was a bit slow, despite not many diners present. The food was tasty enough, especially the kebabs, but I hoped for a more robust flavor profile. I love trying different cuisines, so I may give them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave about Hatam enough! It's undoubtedly one of my favorite places for Persian food. Each time, I'm blown away by how fresh everything tastes. The kebabs are perfectly grilled, and the saffron adds a beautiful touch. I also discovered their desserts, which are simply divine. The ambiance is cozy, making it the perfect setting for a friendly get-together. Recommended without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
