“Delicious, delectable, outstanding. Service topnotch!“

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

“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.“

“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.���“

“Maman Joon Kitchen makes some of the most delicious kebabs I’ve ever tried. Very juicy, fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Everything tastes clean and homemade, and the quality is consistently excellent. If you love authentic, flavorful kebabs, this place is a must-try!“

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

“We have been ordering from Moby Dick for many years and the whole family loves their food. Service is friendly and efficient. Over the years we have tried all their items from appetizers to family platters, from sides to daily special and all have been excellent.“

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

“I spoke with a man named Taha to order a variety of Persian kebab, etc. for a Surprise Birthday Party and was very satisfied, as well as the 30 guests who attended and (most being Persian) on the quality of the food. The kebabs were tender, the rice was good quality and the extra sides very plentiful. I would highly recommend this for a large gathering because the price was very reasonable and service very customer friendly, especially ordering from Taha. Kudo's to him and all his help in making this special birthday even more special and worry free for me.“

“Food is very tasty 😋 both indoor and outdoor seating is good.. love the interior and the portion of the food.“

“Les recomendados muy delicioso la tensión ni que decir Carlos el nuevo trabajador muy amable“

“I love this kabob takeout spot! The food is always delicious, and the kabobs are cooked perfectly every time—never burnt, always flavorful. Andrea is especially kind and friendly, and she makes every visit feel welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and great service!“
