Maman Joon Kitchen

There is this wonderful waiter call Dennis who is so helpful

The Persian guy at front desk is an terrible person with Zerio customer service. I do NOT recommend this palce.

I had a really terrible experience. I called to ask for a receipt, and the guy who answered (Persian from Iran) was rude with attitudes and yelled at me for no reason.
Also, the Ghorma Sabzi we had was awful—tasted like canned beans thrown in bunch of vegetables together. Really disappointed.

Great food and very kind service. The associate gave me some free pita and dip to enjoy while I waited for a take out order.

I wanted to share feedback about a recent pickup order that was unfortunately quite frustrating.

When placing our order, it was difficult to communicate clearly. We ordered kebab and requested to substitute the rice with salad, specifically asking for a Mediterranean salad instead. We repeated the order about five times, but there was still a misunderstanding.

Instead of receiving the kebab with salad as a substitution, we were given kebab with a standard salad plus an extra Mediterranean salad—which we were then charged for. When I called to clarify, it was still a challenge to explain that we wanted the salad instead of rice, not as an extra side. Unfortunately, no refund was offered for the additional salad we did not want and ended up throwing away.

This was disappointing, especially since the miscommunication affected our enjoyment of the meal. I kindly recommend ensuring that someone with clear English communication skills is available to handle takeout orders, to avoid similar issues in the future.

Thank you for your understanding

It's an ok place with ok food. Good service and friendly attendants but food is lacking that extra special but it's a good place for some decent grub the hummus was great but otherwise the chicken and meat wasnt as flavorful as I expected

Fast, very friendly employees for my pick up order. Food was fresh and hot. The cannellini bean salad was delicious!

Quality food with great hospitality! We enjoyed our dinner and had a great time here. Don't miss it!

We were completely blown away by the quality and portion size of the food we got! We ordered their family platter, which included three types of kebabs and 2-3 sides. The food was super flavorful and cooked to perfection, and it arrived quickly with no delays. The best part? It was incredibly affordable—around $85, and it was more than enough to feed 6+ people. I especially loved the bread that came with the Hummus and Kash Bademjon, it was the perfect pairing. I’d definitely recommend this spot for a family gathering or whenever you’re in the mood for a big, hearty portion of delicious Persian food cooked by someone who really knows their stuff.

The service was impeccable, the food was mediocre considering the beef was not steak. Overall I would return to try something different. Just a lil under seasoned for me. The falafel is made to order which is a plus.

I ordered the chicken kabob platter with basmati rice and naan. I’ve never tasted chicken so bland. They didn’t even bother to put salt and pepper on it. The rice was a good texture and looked to have some color on it, but it too was bland. The naan did not taste fresh and was hard. I’m very disappointed. I paid $20 for 6 small pieces of unseasoned chicken. It was a complete waste of my money.

I gave two stars for the service because the gentleman at the counter refused to smile or even say hello after I greeted him. I won’t be returning and would not recommend.

We were leaving C&O Canal and realized it was time for a late lunch ... but maybe early dinner? Maman Joon had been on my radar to try for some time and this location was on our way home. We went with tahdig and meat-based
stews - ghaeymeh Bademjan and ghormeh sabzi - instead of kabobs for takeout (20 minute trip home to eat). We were not disappointed! Stews traveled well. Loved the heat in the cilantro sauce.

Vegetarian options: The menu notes vegetarian selections.

Parking: We needed to go to Whole Foods after, so that was an option for validated parking. CVS lot was mentioned for free parking as well.
