Kebab near Arlington, VA

“This place was better than I expected. I didn’t go in with low expectations, but wasn’t sure what my experience would be. Food was great. Service was decent. And the atmosphere was very chill. Perhaps could be a little cooler inside. But I’m more focused on the food. I went for the jerk chicken while my wife went for the oxtail. Both of us were pleased with our meals.“

“This was some of the best hot pot I have had in ages!! Both the soup bases (we got the bone broth + Chongqing) felt so authentic and rich, and there was such a large variety of different ingredients, it felt so worth it!! The skewers were absolutely delicious as well.

The owner was so welcoming and kind, he even gave my boyfriend and me a complimentary chicken dish that he used to eat frequently in his hometown. He kept checking on us and on the other guests too - it was clear that he genuinely cared about the quality of the meal and the enjoyment of his guests.

Thank you so much to Supreme Hot Pot for giving me a reminder of what good, authentic hot pot tastes like!!“

“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.“

“Loved the food! Chicken wrap“

“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 usually do not leave reviews, but I had to make an exception for this occasion.
I placed a catering order for an event, and my experience from start to finish was outstanding. The entire process was professional, seamless, and exceeded my expectations. My guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was—it was perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared.
From the moment I placed the order, Ahmad and his team were incredibly helpful, kind, and professional. They genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect and provided excellent customer service throughout the process.
I highly recommend them for any catering needs and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future!“

“Just flew in on a redeye and got take-out here. It’s literally 1:30, and really no other places are open. Huge shout out to the dishes. Everything tasted amazing, and the seasoning was really on point!! Definitely would recommend checking this spot out. I know I’ll adding this place as a go to late night study snack.“

“The food was AMAZING. The flavors of each dish we had were so tasty. I ordered the Lamb Karahee with naan. The lamb was the best restaurant lamb I’ve had in my LIFE. The Naan was fresh-baked for the table. We’ll be back!“

“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.“

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

“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! ?“

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

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“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.“

“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“

“This place is carry out style establishment that service pizza, whole and by the slice (jumbo), burgers, fries, gyros etc. There are about two small tables to sit, ome outside, one inside, but, you may be more comfortable taking your food out. I tried several dishes and have eat there several times. Ordering ahead for pickup speeds things along. I give it the green if you are seeking these types of food.“

“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.“

“Peter and Saeed were absolutely amazing. We just got done eating there. We have always loved Mama Jooons place, especially at the mall but being able to go to where it all began and being there with the owner was a completely new experience. The food alone is worth the drive that we have made from Richmond up to Washington. the meat is always so soft and everything always taste absolutely amazing from the french fry special sauce to the hummus that is to die for! We will definitely be returning when we come back up here to Washington!“

“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!“
