Divan Restaurant

Moby Dick will be upset. It’s our favorite go to Persian take out restaurant. We have been going there for almost fifteen years. The first place we visited was in Georgetown, then in Arlington, and now there is a shop just a couple of blocks away from our northern Virginia condo. A second favorite is Yekta in Rockville. But we haven’t been there since the pandemic. It’s a great sit down place. There are also a few other Persian options in town but we aren’t impressed with any of them. When we lived in the Midwest Reza’s in Chicago was a favorite. While on our morning walk in the neighborhood the other day we noticed signs for a new restaurant in the little strip mall just down the street. Prior to this new place that will be coming on the fall were Greek and Mediterranean fare. But the new place is called Divan - another Persian restaurant and it is supposed to open in early fall. It sits between two Thai places and an Italian place that is moving in from another location. I tried looking up Divan, but couldn’t find much of anything. There doesn’t seem to be any other similar locations around here. So, it might become another option for our favorite kabobs and such. But nothing will ever take the place of Moby Dick. Nothing beats it!
