Iranian Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Delicious, delectable, outstanding. Service topnotch!“

“We were in DC for just a short time and glad we went there. If you are of Iranian background, you will enjoy the nostalgia, if not, the space had lots of stories to tell. The Executive chef took the time to talk to us and give a tour of the top floor lounge with all the interesting pictures. The food was great too. Order a few things to share with friends. It’s the Persian way!“

“Discovered Maman Joon by accident as most places were closed at 3:00pm. Their food was exceptional. We had the Kashk E’ Bademian (sautéed eggplant), Salad E’ Shirazi (cucumber salad), Beef Koobideh (ground beef kebab) and Baklava. It was flavorful and spiced without being too overpowering. Prices were very reasonable, too. Couldn’t believe they got all five star ratings until we tried it. No seating though so best for take away.“

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“

“Second visit to this location . Quality , value and excellent taste . What more can I say .“

“Absolutely delightful food, people, and atmosphere. My first visit was an urgent stop—I stopped in with a travel weary, overly hungry child who was quickly sated with delicious pastries. The gentleman behind the counter handled the situation so well. He turned our day around and wouldn’t even take payment for our food. I go back now as much as I’m in the area, and it’s consistently wonderful. The food is delicious. Despite being attached to the busy mall, it’s always clean and accommodating. The staff is friendly and has a welcoming attitude that makes it feel like a standalone restaurant where you can sit and linger a bit. Thank you for your kindness. I look forward to many future visits. 🙏🏻“

“Amazing food and terrific atmosphere. We went for Christmas dinner and there was something on the menu for everyone.“

“Absolutely amazing experience!!!“

“i thought I cooked good basmati rice. The rice I had there today kicked my rices butt!“

“Good food. Been around for decades. Only issue is take away is served styrofoam and the rice tastes like styrofoam… why can’t they learn? Old owners hate change.“

“We've been driving all the way down to Moby Dicks at the Kentlands, and then to the new Shady Grove restaurant, from Thurmont, MD. Yes, the food is that good! Now there's one in Frederick.���“

“Chicken and kubideh had good flavor. Barg had no flavor and tasted steamed. Changeh also did not have much flavor and did not taste like it was grilled. The setup was like a fast food restaurant but they had a tip being added at the cash register. Not sure what the tip is for when we are picking up take out.“

“Great customers service ever and the staff’s are very friendly. Love their pizza & sandwiches!!“
