Customer Reviews
I have been here many times and this time Was very disappointing. And I have to mention the Persian man at the cash register and will get to the food in a second. First and foremost the Persian man at the front always seems to be in a bad mood. The times I get good service here is when he’s not working. Attention to detail is what he lacks and he doesn’t properly serve dishes. The kashk e bademjan. Ice cold and no kashk on top whatsoever nor are there crispy onions I have been to other maman joon locations and this one never does both of those things with the kashk e bademjan. It is supposed to be served hot and doctored up This time I came the masto khiar was honestly bland. It looked great but didn’t have much flavor. However the hummus was Great as always although I noticed that he do
The lamb shank and ash was the best lamb shank I’ve ever had in the United States. It was very delicious with reasonable price. Believe me, it’s not easy to be the best, especially considering that I live in Houston with a wide variety of excellent Persian and Arabic restaurants. If you’re looking for a delicious lamb shank, I highly recommend this place.
Oh my the food here is so good! Very flavorful... the chicken was tender the prime beef kabob was good! Loved the hummus! Great hospitality, warm and friendly people! Would definitely come back.
I can’t believe I walked past this place for years without going in -big mistake! This spot serves incredible Iranian and Middle Eastern cuisine with top-notch ingredients and bold flavors. What made my visit unforgettable was Peter, the owner, who not only gave me a tour of the kitchen but also let me try everything on the menu for free! That kind of hospitality is rare. From grilled kebabs to silky hummus and fragrant saffron rice, every bite was a flavor explosion. If you haven’t been here yet, don’t wait, you’ll regret not going sooner!
We were completely blown away by the quality and portion size of the food we got! We ordered their family platter, which included three types of kebabs and 2-3 sides. The food was super flavorful and cooked to perfection, and it arrived quickly with no delays. The best part? It was incredibly affordable—around $85, and it was more than enough to feed 6+ people. I especially loved the bread that came with the Hummus and Kash Bademjon, it was the perfect pairing. I’d definitely recommend this spot for a family gathering or whenever you’re in the mood for a big, hearty portion of delicious Persian food cooked by someone who really knows their stuff.
