3.5 star
Hatam Restaurant is located in the Village of Richmond Hill.
I am here surprising NOT for their lunch specials.. though they do have for $5.99 for take out only!! But I love staying in and enjoy the ambiance and the services... and I don't mind paying a little more for that, instead of eating from Styrofoam containers! BTW, those cushion seats looked so comfy... my Yelp friend was like shooking his head when I dashed over and sank myself into one of those!
The menu has all the standard Persian offerings of kebab and stews, which are all priced reasonable with big portions!
We decided on:
Vaziri Kebab ($ 10.99)
- one skewer of Koobiedeh and one skewer of Joajeh Kebab
- Both nicely seasoned and really tender
Bademjoon ($ 6.99)
- Seasoned eggplant and veal served with rice cooked in a tomato sauce with capers
- Veal was disappointing tough and with not much flavour. when I think of stew, I expect the meat will be soft and tender...
Doogh ($ 1.99) and Istak Drink ($1.50) were great to wash down our Persian lunch...
Hatam Restaurant's friendly staffs made me feel comfortable and I really enjoyed their hospitality... Now I think I might be brave enough to go into a Persian restaurant by myself?? or Am I ready?
