“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.“

Beirut Butcher/ Lebanese بقالة عربية ولحم حلال Mediterranean • $$
407 Maple Ave W, Vienna

“We recently hosted a dinner and chose the stuffed lamb from Beirute Butcher. Not a single guest left without praising it and thanking me for this choice. The lamb was absolutely exceptional, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Mr. Ahmad, the owner, along with his family and team, deserve all the credit. They are decent, professional, and very respectful, making every interaction a pleasure. This is not my first time as a customer, and it certainly will not be my last. For years, I have been ordering from Beirute, whether it is small meals, fresh meat. frozen pastries, or specialty items,and every time the quality is outstanding. For anyone craving authentic flavors that bring comfort and remind us of home, Beirute Butcher never disappoints. Their commitment to quality and customer care is truly remarkable. Respect ✊🏼“

“Best place in NOVA for a gyro. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses but I feel like it used to be better, in any case still the best option. I remember plaka being involved with the community and it's been a while since I've been back but this is still a Vienna staple. Recommended lunch spot if you're in the area.“
