★★★★★ 5.0 Dana Grosser-Clarkson · Jan 2026

New gem on Barracks Row! For our family of four, we ordered combo 1, combo 3, a falafel sandwich, a side salad shirazi and some must o mooseer. We all were impressed with the dishes and definitely will return to try other items. The combo can be served with rice or salad, bread and yogurt. The yogurt was outstanding. The salad was not impressive. Unfortunately, there's only one small table with three chairs to dine in.

My family and I tried the restaurant for the first time for takeout. We ordered the salmon sandwich, which was excellent and very large. My husband got the chicken kebab with vegetables and rice. We also ordered the grape leaves as a side, which I loved! Everything was great and we will definitely go back. I’m interested in trying one of the family deals next time, which seemed like an affordable and healthy option for a weeknight when I don’t want to cook!

We went there to get some Iranian food. We went to Maman Joon as we noticed it's pretty close to our hotel. The location is good with a decent amount of parking lot to park. We asked for two Koobidehes with breads. They gave it to us with freshly baked bread, and we loved it. It came with yogurt and minced vegetables. The koobideh was a decent size and good. We took it and ate it by the park nearby as they do not have an area to sit and eat. But overall it is one of the good restaurants to eat at compared to Iranian restaurants I've seen before.

Ground meat kabobs were juicy and delicious. VERY generous with the rice. The yogurt shallot sauce is great for dipping. Wonderful service and reasonable prices.

So glad Maman Joon opened up on Capitol Hill! I didn't want to cook, and it is right next to the Metro. We got the family meal so we could try a bit of everything for future take-out. It was all delicious! The chicken, beef, and kofta kebabs were all tasty -- not overcooked or dried out. The falafel was light, but crispy. We got a huge portion of rice, which was light and fluffy. The humus, tzatziki, and eggplant spreads (much like baba ghanoush) were great. There aren't any tables for seating, but that works great for us! Will definitely go again! The staff was really friendly too!
