Marjan Persian Food

It’s been a while since we were there last. We drive by it almost every week and comment that we should try it again. So last Friday - before the storm - we drove over to Marjan in Vienna to get some Persian food. It’s a lot like a deli and is authentic home made - which my husband doesn’t care for. He’s a big fan of Moby Dick - another Persian take out that we have been going to since we moved to DC sixteen years ago. So we looked at the menu before we went in and had a good idea what we wanted. The most important item was the chicken with the berries that is mouth watering tender and melts in your mouth. You can’t get that at Moby Dick. We got two different soups  - barley and noodle, an eggplant dish, a potato chicken cold salad, and vegetable frittata. It was enough to last for three dinners - too much. In the end the food was good but not something you would want to eat all of the time. Apparently they do a big catering service. It’s amazing how many Persian restaurants there are in this neighborhood. There are three within walking distance from our house. There is something about the food - it’s pretty healthy and tastes good. What else would you want?
