Kebab near Arlington, VA

“The food is delicious and healthy. Customer service is wonderful. Meals are well presented and served with a variety of vegetables. Make you feel like you receive a flavor from the whole world. Note that Abraham knows how to cook and makes you feel welcome in a clean environment while enjoying your exceptional food.“

“This restaurant was great and the broth was super flavorful. I got the spicy broth and the flavor was delicious enough to eat on its own. The ordering online was a cool concept. Good value for what you pay. I liked the buffet of veggies and seafood, but my only complaint is that I wish the items were labeled and that each had a utensil.“

“Best Kabob House in the town.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We just ate a late lunch here and it was an awesome experience. The food was fantastic and the service was super friendly. We got the Iskender Kebap, beef sandwhich, and chicken pita and all were fantastic.“

“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.“

“This unassuming and hole in the wall restaurant is the real deal and what a treat! Had friendly service and deliciously authentic super FRESH food, made to order from scratch. I could see the cook in the kitchen and she ran a very clean and organized kitchen. Think homecooking and you'll be happy with what you get. I enjoyed every bite, and the corn tortillas are as good as it gets. I'm looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow! ?“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My new favorite restaurant in DC. Food is tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly, responsive, and timely. And the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. The Adana Lebab, Turkish tea, and Backlava are must-tries. A+++“

“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“

“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!“

“These are my Afghans so I don’t wanna ruin their reputation. But just giving my personal review. I have been to this restaurant 3-4 times now. Previous visits was good so kept coming. But my most recent visit they got one of the orders wrong so they had to send it back. Took too long. We almost cancel that one because everyone else was almost finished with their food and the food didn’t come almost 30-40 minutes. Also, this time I found a little bit of hair and I just wanted to inform them about it and they didn’t seem to apologize or offer a new plate or anything. They just said all of our people wear head coverings when I brought up that I found hair. From then on out, I lost my appetite. I usually order the ice cream as well, but my appetite was ruined.“

“soujouk is one of the best sandwiches i ever ate at this restaurant highly recomanded“

“So glad Maman Joon opened up on Capitol Hill! I didn't want to cook, and it is right next to the Metro. We got the family meal so we could try a bit of everything for future take-out. It was all delicious! The chicken, beef, and kofta kebabs were all tasty -- not overcooked or dried out. The falafel was light, but crispy. We got a huge portion of rice, which was light and fluffy. The humus, tzatziki, and eggplant spreads (much like baba ghanoush) were great. There aren't any tables for seating, but that works great for us! Will definitely go again! The staff was really friendly too!“

“Most nights I stumble in here drunk. Sometimes I make the sober trek from VA. Either way, the pizza is always so fresh. Got the supreme last night and the toppings tasted like they just picked and chopped the vegetables. My cheesesteak was excellent. A solid jumbo slice with an extensive menu is a rare gem these days. Sometimes the food takes a little long, probably because they’re making it fresh. Skip the other places and come here.“

“Amazing food and service! definitely will be going back!!“

“Music was loud for 11am, food is fabulous quality for a food court. There appears to be a pool table and a selection of games as well as ample seating. It is definitely a bit nicer and fresher than Commas, most food cooked fresh to order. The bar being open so early is questionable but that comes with the massive caveat that I personally do not drink for health reasons and for that reason do not understand bar/drinking culture and prefer not to be around it.“

“Not sure why there’s so many bad reviews, this place is great. Local, friendly staff that are attentive to their customers; it was our first time there and they answered our questions We even got two free samosas’s (chicken and veggie) while we waited for our food that were so flavorful and tasty! We got the butter chicken combo platter and chicken & lamb over rice; they were amazing ! Presentation was great and they were so flavourful! We also got a mango lassi that was sooo good; wonderfully creamy, fruity, and refreshing. Highly recommend giving a try and can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

“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.“

“ما شاء الله مطعم مع اراكيل شي راقي ونظيف استقبال روعه اسلوب تعامل حلو جدا ..... شكرآ لكم وفقكم ربي“

“Update: since this experience I haven't had one nearly as bad as this the pizza is good and the cheesecake is delicious glad I tried it again after the bad first impression. ?
I know it's the Superbowl but I really can't accept this experience. Driver was amazing even went back to the restaurant to get an extra pizza. Reason why because our order took over 2 hours to get here and unfortunately they didn't even bring us 1 of the pizza we actually ordered. We got 2 random meat covered pizzas and all we ordered was extra cheese & chicken. The extra pizza was nice but I'm still not happy with getting 2 pizzas I can't eat. Wings are good but this was a terrible experience. Glad I ordered them since it was the only think I could eat from a $50 order. I think what we originally ordered would've been good and I could've eaten this one if not for the other meats. Ordered through slice.“
