“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.“
“Honestly, this is some of the best Persian food I've had in an upscale restaurant. I've had a ton in LA and Dubai.Each dish is thoughtful and incredibly well seasoned. They are true to traditional preparations, with an elegant flare in presentation.The one big minus was the service. The gentleman was kind and knowledgeable, but they forgot an appetizer, and food came out rather slowly. It wasn't too busy either. This rating could easily been a 5 star, with better service.“
“Delicious food, beautiful presentation, affordable prices. Also get free baked goods and some sauces. First time eating Middle Eastern rice, the rice grains are longer, slimmer and lighter than Asian rice grains, quite delicious and refreshing. Friendly employee. Good space, good music.“
“So, I stumbled upon Maman Joon Kitchen at Tyson's and l can say its a solid chicken spot Vegetarian Friendly: Sadly this spot is not a great place as a lot of the menu is meat heavy. They do have options but you should really eat here as there main attraction is meat Decor: The ambiance is inviting and chill. It's the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. And the bonus is they have outside heaters that keep you warm if you want to sit outside. Food Highlights: The Chicken Kabob stole the show for me as it was very well marinated and they included bread and yogurt which was great! Portion Size: Portion sizes are pretty good here so you definitely won't leave hungry, and you might even have some leftovers to enjoy later. But I wish they included 1-2 pieces of chicken as there was a lot more rice to chicken. Price: Considering the quality and quantity of the food, I'd say the prices are reasonable especially for Tyson Area. And just wanted to say there service was really good and got the chance to met the owner Peter Tabibian who was very nice and welcoming! Would I go Back: So even though it's good if I am in the mood for Chicken and Rice I would rather go to DCG as it has more toppings. But for a kabob place it was pretty good!“
“Absolutely loved dining at this Persian restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, bursting with authentic flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the richness and depth of Persian cuisine. We had Adas Polo with mast-e mosir and Dough and we took Kale Pacheh home. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to return for another flavorful journey!“
“It was our first time here. We were looking for Turkish or Persian food in the Northern Virginia area. Called and made a reservation for 6 PM. When we arrived, maybe 1/3 of the restaurant was full so we were a little worried that it wasn't a popular place. our server was very pleasant, answering all of our questions, and being very patient with us. we ordered two appetizers, the eggplant dip, and the olive and pomegranate dip. WOW! Incredibly fresh, made from scratch - really enjoyed both of those. The appetizers were delicious and absolutely from scratch. Alcoholic beverage selections are decent. I was hoping for an authentic Iranian or Persian beer, but only domestic on the menu. Great wine selection, and several mixed drinks. We ordered mostly skewers, including the lamb, which was so tender and flavorful, the chicken, which my wife said was the one of the best chicken kebabs she had ever had and I am GREEK (the spices were so unique and flavor was off the charts), A combo, one with skewer of beef fillet, and the ground beef skewer (tenderloin, of course, crazy tender cooked to perfection, the ground beef (I'm not sure I liked that flavor. There was something in there that was off to me flavor wise a spice maybe? not sure). For sides three of us had salad, which was fresh, crisp and delicious with the dressing and I had the rice, which I found very nice and flavorful. we finished off with the saffron, pistachio ice cream (we had a birthday girl with us) HOLY smokes that was quite a treat to the senses! It was the first time any of us had that, rich and creamy full of finely chopped pistachios and simply delicious. In the end a?great experience! Oh and the restaurant was packed when we left so my worries about it not being popular were obviously dead wrong 100% recommend this delicious restaurant! Yes, parking is a little tight because it's an older property (much narrower and small parking lot) but we did just fine.“
“I’ve tried almost all of their menu items and they are all delicious. Quality and freshness of their ingredients are noticeable and hands down best burger and fries in the area. As a Persian myself, Maman Joon is delivering true persian flavors. Love their new breakfast menu and you have to try the Egg Benedict it’s soo good(Lovin it ????).“
“The food and service at this place is always awesome. Especially the gentleman who runs the front of the house. His name is Marvin, and he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. If you want good food, pretty quickly, and like people in general, this is a great place to get it. I've become a regular customer and I love this place.“
“I’m Victor. I provide locksmith service at this location this afternoon. The manager and the staff are so great.I get chicken kabob and a delicious salad.I didn’t know how good is this food..If you haven’t taste yet ….. don’t wait.Highly recommend.Great service and great personal.“
“I had an amazing dining experience at joon, the decor was beautiful the atmosphere was electric Quinn the mixologist made me and my guest some exotic drinks that where outstanding, and then the food came out we had joon kabob platter that’s was absolutely delicious!!! Can’t wait to visit again.“
“Located inside an old strip mall with other markets from around the world, this woman-owned Persian market is a one-stop shop for Middle Eastern produce and goods. Park in the lot just outside and enter into a world of spice. In the back is a counter that sells popular kabobs and other grab-n-go items.“
“My wife had the filet mignon kebab and I had rack of lamb, medium rare. Succulent and delicious. We had salads which were very fresh and delicious. Also sides of grape leaves, so fresh and just the right level of oil and mint, and Kash bademjahn, so so good. I can not recommend this place highly enough!!! Sorry Mobey's, this is our new goto place!!! The staff is so friendly and charming :)“
“Called in a large carry out order for New Year's Day, and as usual everything was hot, fresh, and delicious! The order was ready when I arrived, packed very nicely, and they were kind enough to help me carry it all out to my car. The salad was beautiful and fresh with huge chunks of feta, the rice was perfection, and all the kabobs were juicy and flavorful. The bread was warm and soft, so good dipped in hummus! This is always our favorite spot, and I highly recommend, 10/10! Great food, friendly service.“
