"One of my favorite meals in DC is the seabass and saffron rice, and a side of lamb hummus, at Rumi's Kitchen. Happy, sad, celebration, a random Tuesday, it doesn't matter, I am ALWAYS in the mood for this meal. It is light but filling, and so flavorful!"
"The food was quality and prepared with care for my takeout order. I enjoyed the presentation of the food including the wonderful surprise of sumac spice and and informational card for me to add additional flavor and love to the dish.
Worth every penny spent.
The included fresh herbs was the icing on the cake. for my .ain dishes.
The grilled veggies were a nice size and a great variety.
The cardamom cake was simply delicious with the strawberry tarragon sauce. I added some vanilla ice cream
I will order again!"

"great flavorful kebab, and the rice was alright (didn't really taste the saffron but rice tastes good enough already). tomato was appreciated, sauces good, and the size was decent enough for price (24$ for Moby's Super Combo lamb, meh, and chicken, wow). I see why chicken is the top choice here and not lamb. Not the best kebab place ever, but definitely amazing if you don't want to go anywhere and still want lots of food."

"10/10 .Everything was perfect, the food was fresh and delicious. The best Koobideh Kabob in Virginia and the Kashk-E-Bademjan is perfection. Definitely goi to or again. "
"We ordered the lamb shank and the chenjej kabob with salads. The typical salad was great but the Shirazi salad was just chopped tomatoes and cucumber with no seasoning, no olive oil. The lamb shank was very small and mostly fat, again no seasoning. Sadly, the Chenjeh kabob was so overcooked and dry with no seasoning, I don't think even salt. It came in a big container with 8 small scattered pieces of meat- looked a bit sad. We had eaten at Alborz in probably 2013 and enjoyed it, not so much now. We are fans of Persian food. I don't know what went wrong tonight but would never order again, unfortunately."

"So delicious! So well packaged! I was so hungry and this hit the spot -- I'm so glad they're in Vienna -- the chicken and koubideh are excellent and the man was very nice and assured me that he left the masto khiyar white yogurt sauce -- loved it, thanks!"
"The food is ok, however the portions and value simply did not match the prices or the spirit of Persian hospitality the restaurant’s name suggests.
Would not order from here again.
Really disappointing portions, especially given the prices. Six small pieces of chicken cost almost $21, while another dish with five pieces of chicken plus an entire beef koobideh was $24. How does that pricing make sense?
The ghormeh sabzi was around $20 and also had very little meat. Across the meal, it felt like they were noticeably stingy with the protein while charging premium prices.
What made it especially disappointing is the name Maman Joon. A “Maman Joon” should evoke warmth, generosity, and Persian hospitality — the kind of meal where you’re worried you’ve been given too much food, not counting the pieces of meat on your plate."

I will go here over & over again because it's made fresh and the naan bread has an home made taste.

"I'll start by saying the food was definitely fresh. However the El Arabe Falafel lacked flavor! I'm used to Halal being pretty great when it comes to seasoned food. I've even had munchies once before in NY, they were great. But this one was not so good. Breads was pretty hard and dry. The sandwich was a little better. Over all everything was fine, just expected a little more flavor. I may order again to try something else. Portions were great for the value!"

"Fish Kabob was tender and flaky and seasoned perfectly. Pairing it with the green-sauce was amazing. The only thing I didn't care for was how carb heavy it was. Instead of the large scoops of two different types of rice, I would have appreciated an option to add a different side (like the chickpeas) as a surcharge. I found myself done with the protein and still a mountain of rice left behind."
"My husband and I tried Kabob Express for the first time and absolutely loved it! The food was very flavorful and served with ample amount of rice. The bone in chicken kabob was very tasty. The chicken (boneless) and beef kabob was our favorite, very tender and full of flavor. The chick peas and spinach were really good too! Highly recommend!"

"Firstly the order came super late - I had to wait one and a half hour when it was showing estimated delivery in 20 minutes. It said "preparing order". After receiving the order, the food is not at all like it is when i order usually. There was no salad(which they usually put), the hummus tastes sour. Shah's halal is selling their Special Platter on a discounted price (buy one get one free) but the quality is so bad that I rather not get it. Also, the portion size is smaller than usual - seems like their one regular is divided in 2 boxes. Extremely disappointed with quality and portion size and would not recommend anyone ordering.

"Instructions for packing the Side salad separately were not followed and also the side salad was missing entirely in the order of the Qabili Palaw Uzbaki. Missing white sauces to put on top of the dish. Overall the Qabili Palaw Uzbaki was overly greasy, oily and lacking in flavor. The chickpeas were packaged in a clear plastic container for a HOT side which is not healthy or food safe. Please reconsider how this is packaged."

"Exceptional. We think everything tastes great, Presentation was awesome and everything was well packed and stapled. Veggies are super fresh and delicious and this is between 7 and 8pm on a Sunday, mind you. Meal was prepared on time. Very happy with this restaurant and will likely order again. "
"Honestly maybe deserves five stars but I was also very hungry!
This food was very good, I got the Mild Boneless Chicken Kabob. It is chicken breat which I appreciate. I definitely first thought it wasn't enough food but it was definitely more than enough. The chickpeas are not your typical Indian curry its more of an oily base and thick seasoning taste very good on top of the rice. The Chicken is good, but you are getting the bold flavors from adding the chickpeas I added the white sauce only.
Comes with a "side salad" I tosed that on top with the rice and the onion did what they were supposedto do!
The only reason I didnt order the spicy chicken due to my spice levels however I will be trying that next time for flavor purposes "

"Chicken,beef and lamb kebabs were excellent - tender and tasty. The best Afghan food we have had in the area. Five stars "
"First time ordering from this restaurant and wasn't sure what would be included. I did not need to order a naan on the side. One was included. The salmon was best thing which is great since it's what I was craving and it's hard to find another store that delivers salmon kabob. I didn't love the white sauce (maybe too thick with mayo or something?) and the green sauce was too spicy for me. The naan bread and portion sizes are large. I love the large size and separate packaging of the salad! I would absolutly order here again for the salmon and salad."

"#6. Chicken Seekh Kabob was so taste but rice portion is small . It should be enough because the price we pay is pretty much expensive "
"Chicken Seekh Kabob - 1pc for $5 was little pricey.. expected atleast 2 pc .. but taste was ok.. not worth the price.
Chicken Haleem (Sat & Sun) the quantity was good taste was ok... not great but good .. $20 was too much as compared to other restaurant that offers between $12-16 are much more tastier and flavorful but this was just ok... not worth the price... expected more bold flavors but not for a $20 price.. too much.. but once spend is an experience to not order next time.
Fresh Bread - They were pretty soft... compared to any other restaurants .. naan and rotis.. this one was different.. I had ordered 2 ... but received 3 .. not sure why... (may be 1 complimentory with the seekh kabob)... but liked it.. soft well baked..undoubtedly good .. combined well with the Chicken Seekh Kabob and Chicken Haleem (Sat & Sun) .....
Rasmalai - Must Try !- It was the show stopper....
Very different... till date what i have received from other restaurant seemed similar to the packed ras malai that is available in most of the freezers in Indian grocery store..
But this ras malai seemed inhouse hand made.. fresh and delicate... the taste and flavors were unique and delicious.
Absolutely, 1 is not enough if you are a sweet lover...
$5.99 worth the price the taste and it was Awesome undoubtedly....🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶"

"The expectations were not as great as other times. The hamburger is anything but authentic, did not taste appetizing. The Aushak entry had 9 half filled dumplings. The aush was same as usual. I would recommend replacing the burger with something authentic and the kids side should be healthier, the fries were not good did not taste like potatoes... Thanks! "
