“Came here during a fall event at Shipgarten. Can't say much about the food, but I ordered a frose slushie. It was a decent size compared to what I was expecting from a generic bar, but nothing extraordinary. It wasn't even really nice to look at since it came in a plastic cup. If I wasn't in the mood for a slushie, I'd have just gotten a regular beer or cider here or elsewhere. Also, they only had the frose available and no margarita or mai tai.“

“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.“

“This is really a Mediterranean place, with typical options. They even asked if I wanted ice in the water, nice touch! I had a wrap with lamb. The lamb was hit or miss, some chunks tender and some quite chewed. My wife's falafel wrap was wonderful. The coffee and water were great.“

“An exceptional caterer of Persian food for your big events! Mr Behrooz himself is a joy to work with, professional, accommodative and dependable. What he promises, he delivers.. and MORE. We had his full buffet menu for our wedding and couldn’t be happier— everything was delicious and plenty. Highly recommend them!“

“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.“

“Very flavorful food! I order from them at least once or twice a month. Their restaurants are much cleaner than some other Kabob places. Only negative thing about Moby Dick House of Kabob is they don't have chickpeas and spinach like most kabob restaurants do, which is strange because they are all famous side dishes. For that reason, I frequent other kabob restaurants because my kids like those aforementioned side dishes.“

“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 ????).“

“Decent kabobs for anyone not looking for authentic flavors. The chicken breast is unusually moist and very tasty. I also like their hummus and bread. It's a great family meal that will last a few days. All of the options are delicious.“

“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.“

“Alborz was recommended to us by friends who are locals and it was wonderful for Persian cousins. I would highly recommend the place, and will be back when visiting the DC/VA area. Food tastes great and portions were are generous (excellent quality and quantity)“

“I live in the city but if I ever find myself within a five mile radius while running errands, I'm stopping for a mortadella sandwich. However, this is very much personal preference make sure you're cool with the toppings before ordering, it's not flavor combos you'd get at regular places. I've tried other things too but it's been too long so it wouldn't be fair to review. I always call in my order they're nice and helpful, my order is typically ready within 10-15 minutes for pick up.“

“We placed an order to pick up, and it was ready at the promised time. The koobideh and joojeh kebob were properly seasoned and prepared. The rice was long grain, aldante, and flavourful. The bread was warm and fresh.Prices are reasonable, and portions are large.“

“Marjan catered my engagement party and it was perfect. The food was delicious while being almost too pretty to eat, given the works of art she creates with her thoughtful garnish design. Nonetheless, it was all gone by the end of the night! ? Highly recommend Marjan for a unique and impressive event experience!“

“Like Sal Bass said in Seinfeld, "I've been to the desert" and have had food like this from some of the places where it was born, and Moby Dick can fight in their weight class any day. If you walk by and see the place mostly empty, it's only because they're primarily a takeout joint, as their food can sometimes take a while to prepare. It doesn't quite fit the mold of what you usually see in the happening restaurants on Campbell Ave but give it a shot, even if you've never had it before. The lamb kabob rivals some of the best I've had, compared to the standard benchmark I use for such things (a place called A La Turka in NYC), the hummus is on point, their pita very fresh and the salads well made. Price is VERY fair for what you get. Friendly crew too.“

“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!“
