Trying Out Maman Joon

There is a Persian dish that I really like. It’s called Zershek Polo and is a mouth watering half baked chicken that comes with rice made with berberries. It is a Thursday special at Maman Joons. And since we can now order on line we thought we would try out the place. We have been going to Moby Dicks since we moved to DC eighteen years ago. So we felt a bit disloyal! The menus are typical Persian fare. Aside from the chicken we ordered the usual items that we always get. We were very impressed with the packaging of the food and my husband was very impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment. I absolutely loved the chicken - so much so that I would go there every Thursday just for that! The Koobideh kabob was also very good. As for the salad, soup, bread, baklava, and eggplant side dishes I think Moby Dick’s is better. The servings T ‘a man Joon’s are also larger than Moby Dick but they are also more expensive. So we now have two Persian places for pick up. I’m glad we tried it and look forward to going back.
