Kebab near Potomac, MD

“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.“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“Awesome chicken kabob platter! Chicken was super tender and well seasoned, super tasty. One of the best I've had. Great staff and great atmosphere.

Prices are CHEAPER in person than what's on Google. Go enjoy this place!“

“This place is a gem! I had the Samsa and the fried lamb shank. The fried lamb shank was one of the best dishes that I’ve had during my visit to dc. The meat was tender and it combined with the veggies were perfectly seasoned. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is laid back. The restaurant is on the second level and has good views of Wisconsin street.“

“highlights are : the food was delicious, very traditional and authentic (made with love and intention), service was perfect - with a smile, and wait time was short! We had a chicken dish, a mutton dish, garlic naan and rice pudding. ZERO complaints from me, and I usually have at least one. I was impressed that the chef and owner came to check on us to make sure our experience was flawless.“

“Alisa is excellent with service and outstanding at the front. She makes very good crepes and it tastes fantastic . She suggested us for banana strawberry crepe and was out of this world. Should have more people like her to represent your business. We will definitely come again for Banana strawberry crêpe .“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“I’m unfamiliar with most Afghan food so I don’t know the names but I LOVE IT!

My wife says this place is a good replacement for Faryab in Bethesda.

I could eat the aushak every night. The pumpkin dish was outstanding. This carryout is definitely on the power rotation.

I went back for the 4th time in 10 days and got the most amazing pumpkin dish“

“We have a big party in Choyhona on Saturday, March 9th. The tables were set beautifully, salads and kebabs were tasty (most recommend Kutabi with meat). Everything was served in time. Waiters were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.“

“Everything about this place was great. The staff were kind, the space was clean and welcoming, and the service was quick and smooth. You can tell they really care about what they do. The whole experience felt thoughtful and well-run from the moment I arrived. I’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to others!“

“Never disappointed!! The veggies taste amazing, the bread is perfect/not overdone, and the chicken is always so moist. I wish there was a larger seating area, but not a big deal. If I could change anything, it would be the music. Doesn’t fit the vibe.“

“I had a delicious lunch at Eerkin's in Rockville today. My friend and I shared an eggplant salad, an order of manta dumplings stuffed with pumpkin, and an order of fried noodles with chicken. Everything was delicious. The portions were very generous. We enjoyed making our choice from the tea bar--one serving with a complimentary refill was plenty for two people. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is convenient and free for the first two hours. Looking forward to a return trip!“

“Best Kabob House in the town.“

“So delicious! I am on the road most of the time as a real estate agent and always try to find new spots to eat at. The food is so flavorful, the staff is awesome, and I will be back next time I am selling homes in the area!“

“Great potential for the falafel platter, with some missteps that keep it from being five stars.First, the good:- sauces were excellent (toum, shut)- dips were great (hummus, labneh, and a chickpea stew)- bread (shrak) was great- fries were great (served with cilantro)- onion/parsley garnish was very good but needed to be more of it- falafel was good- salata was pretty goodHere’s what can be improved:- the Persian style grilled tomato and grilled onion make no sense as a side for a falafel platter… it should either be served with tabbouleh or chopped raw tomatoes and onion, either of which add freshness and cut through the heavy sauces- speaking of tabbouleh, it was supposed to come with some but didn’t- the fries, falafel and chickpea stew were a little too salty- personal preference: I don’t like pickled beets in general very much, I didn’t like these pickled beets in particular very much, and I strongly feel that pickled cucumbers are superior on a falafelThe good parts about the platter were great. But, the actual falafel wrap was a little off, because it lacked fresh veggies. The sauce, the bread will keep me coming back, but I hope the owners take note of this feedback

Vegetarian options: Falafel platter seems to be vegetarian friendly“

“I very often use Yekta for my dinner parties. The food is consistently delicious and they are very accommodating regarding how I like to serve my food. It is exactly the way I want it. I really can’t say enough nice things about Yekta. I can’t rate the atmosphere as it is carry out only. I always speak to the person in charge of catering. I tell them how I like my salad and they make it exactly as I ask for. The kabobs are always fresh and delicious. I always tell them not to give me too much rice because I always end up with too much rice left over. The guy in charge always gives me the right amount.
Thank you for the delicious food.“

“One of the best persian food in VA 100 times better than Shamshiry -
