    Maman Joon is a fantastic spot for a quick, satisfying bite. The chicken kabob was juicy, tender, and full of flavor, and the salad was crisp and refreshing. Service was great--friendly and efficient without feeling rushed. Ambiance is good with outdoor and indoor seating available. A perfect go-to for something delicious on the go.

    Kubideh

    The workers at Maman Joon were super friendly, and if you dine in, they'll bring the food out to your table after making everything fresh. The restaurant is large with lots of seating. kubideh with basmati rice - I was pleasantly surprised by how juicy and beefy the meat was. We asked for the green sauce on the side, which added a nice bit of spice and really brought the dish together. The grilled onions were charred perfectly and had a nice crunchiness that I loved. I do wish the tomatoes were grilled a bit longer--some pieces still tasted a little raw and acidic. The rice comes with a pat of butter on top; it's a nice touch, but next time I'd probably just avoid mixing in the whole thing since it made the rice a bit too rich for me. 3.25/5

    At Tyson's for a movie, but we were early, so we decided to explore the food options instead of relying on popcorn. And I'm glad we did because we found Maman Joon tucked away into a side alley. What a find! If you like Middle Eastern food, Maman Joon hits the spot. I got the salmon and rice - perfectly cooked salmon, moist and smooth, with just enough char on the outside to add some crunch. And extra points for the pat of butter laid within the rice! It took longer than expected to get our food, but we got slices of pita bread with various sauces in the meantime, so it all worked out. If you're at Tysons and looking for something new, try Maman Joon and get your fill - you won't be sorry!

    Combo 1 - kubideh and chicken kabob

    I've been to Maman Joon several times now and glad the quality of their food remains the same. Juicy seasoned kabobs with lots of rice and a side of bread if you sit down in the restaurant to eat. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and it can get pretty crowded on weekends. My favorite is the chenjeh kabob and chicken kabob.

    I've tried a bunch of their kabobs, including the Salmon. But on my last visit, we went for the lunch special that came with Kubideh on rice (half rice half salad) and Chicken Kanob on rice. Both were tasty! The Kubideh was definitely my favorite - super juicy and packed with flavor. The chicken kabob was really tender and delicious too!

    Lamb kabob with rice

    The lamb and chicken kabobs are SO incredible. Usually the lamb kabobs i've had are so chewy and my jaw hurts eating it, but this one is so juicy and tender and seasoned perfectly. the chicken kabob is my favorite. it might actually be the best chicken kabob i've had in this area. so juicy and seasoned perfectly, i could eat it for days. i love the basmati rice as well, it's warm and fluffy and is so good with the kabobs. the place is always crowded but the service is fairly quick still. great location in tyson's, ambiance is great they also have outdoor seating.

    Soooooo yummmmy! I honestly am I shocked this spot is not more hyped up. We really enjoyed all our food here. Located in Tysons mall. The service was okay nothing to rave about. They were extremely quick! The ambiance is casual, there's seating inside and outside. The pricing is a bit high, but they give you A LOT of food. I ordered the combo beef kebab and steak kebab. I'd give it a 10/10 for both meats, very well seasoned. My bf ordered the chicken and beef which ended up being really good as well. Overall, I'll definitely be visiting again!

    Pita bread

    Didn't know this place existed at Tysons Corner. It's hidden back by the Lucid and Michael Kors stores. If you don't know about it, you should. The food here was phenomenal! My gf and I stopped in for lunch one day and knew from the smell of the food alone that it was gonna be good. It was a tad pricier but they also give a good amount of food. I ordered the chicken and steak kebabs. She ordered the steak and kofta kebabs. They give pita bread and dip to eat while you wait. Note that they only give the one sauce per person! More sauces costs extra. The kebabs were so flavorful and tender. The service was fairly quick. The manager (maybe owner?) was kind. He did end up giving me an extra sauce for free since I didn't know they were extra. The food only took about 5 mins or so to come out. The ambiance is super casual. There's tables inside and some outdoors as well. They can hold a good number of people. Definitely will be coming back here. One order could definitely make for two meals for a lot of people!

    So, I stumbled upon Maman Joon Kitchen at Tyson's and l can say its a solid chicken spot Vegetarian Friendly: Sadly this spot is not a great place as a lot of the menu is meat heavy. They do have options but you should really eat here as there main attraction is meat Decor: The ambiance is inviting and chill. It's the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. And the bonus is they have outside heaters that keep you warm if you want to sit outside. Food Highlights: The Chicken Kabob stole the show for me as it was very well marinated and they included bread and yogurt which was great! Portion Size: Portion sizes are pretty good here so you definitely won't leave hungry, and you might even have some leftovers to enjoy later. But I wish they included 1-2 pieces of chicken as there was a lot more rice to chicken. Price: Considering the quality and quantity of the food, I'd say the prices are reasonable especially for Tyson Area. And just wanted to say there service was really good and got the chance to met the owner Peter Tabibian who was very nice and welcoming! Would I go Back: So even though it's good if I am in the mood for Chicken and Rice I would rather go to DCG as it has more toppings. But for a kabob place it was pretty good!

    Combo 1 ( Beef Koobideh & Chicken Breast Kabob ) with Basmati Rice, Charred Onions/Tomato and butter.
    Jon T.

    I drove to Tysons Corner once just to try this place out. It's tucked away inside the actual mall ( bottom floor past Macys ) but very spacious for lots of seating. I ordered the Combo 1 ( Ground Beef Koobideh Kabob & Chicken Breast Kabob with rice ) as that's my go to whenever I order from Moby Dicks. You really can't go wrong with both as I really savored the Koobideh Kabob and it's seasoning and just the charred taste from the Chicken Breast chunks were satisfyingly to me. They give you a lot of rice with a slice of butter to mix around in. If you plan to eat here, go on an empty stomach. By the time I finished eating, I felt extremely bloated and had to walk around to let my stomach digest for a bit.. that's why the mall is there right? The people there were nice and asked me how was my food where I thought which was nice. They care about people that eat there and it shows that they want to ensure your satisfied with your meal. Good on them for looking out. If there's only one complaint I could make, the music is a tad too loud. Despite moving to another table, it was still pretty noisy.

    Bottom right - menu shows 6% fee for inflation (shown as the service and packaging fee on receipt - kinda crazy)
    Esha Z.

    Visited today - had a code to get a free appetizer and 15% off. They honored it at the register, It's located next to the Michael Kors so it's right in front of the parking garage where &pizza and dry bar are located. They honored my coupon but upon returning home, no appetizer was in my bag :( ! Also, even with the discount it came out to the same price bc they charge a 6% inflation fee for service and packaging .... Lolll I've never been somewhere that charges a fee for a takeout container, and if you're not dining in there shouldn't be a fee like that imo. Otherwise: The wait time isn't bad, maybe about 10-15 min, which is decent. The kabobs were okay, my sister said it tastes exactly like Moby Dick kabob, even down to the sauces. The portion is decent, the chicken was tender, BUT the naan/bread that they give with the order is so small, you have to ask for green chutney, they don't just give it to you, and I had a missing appetizer. The food is okay, but I wouldn't say it's the best in the dmv, considering there's so many other better places in the area. I probably would not go here again.

    This is one of the best kabob places I have eaten so far. Despite of what others say, the food is great and very tasty. I love how the food is made to order and they are cooking a lot of the meats right there. I believe the best bet is to get the combo. The combo either comes with your choice of rice or salad. I got the salad with mine and it was still plenty and filling. The service was great and the workers are polite. I got the chicken and koobideh platter and let me tell you, the meats were so juicy and NOT dry at all. The chicken comes in cube/square shapes and it was still filling! I believe the food is great for the price. I didn't think I would finish it but I pushed through and finished the plate. Inside of the restaurant is kind of bare - and seating is limited. There are no seats for a big party - we had 6 ppl but were lucky enough to all fit in a table that looks like it was designed for 4. I would recommend this place!

    Chicken platter with 1/2 rice 1/2 salad and added grilled tomatoes
    Lia M.

    I've been dying to try Joon, but haven't made it yet, so when walking by Maman Joon, figured I could at least try that. And I'm so glad I did! This fast casual, Persian kabob place is delicious. I ordered the chicken kabob with half rice, half salad, and ordered grilled tomatoes (extra). It comes with half pita. It was enough for two meals, which I appreciate. The chicken and rice were fragrant and the chicken was not dry at all. It was nice to have sumac shakers on each table. Salad was fresh. I'm looking forward to trying more menu options in the future.

    Yes. Joon is a completely different brand and concept. Maman Joon is casual and Joon is high end and pricy. Joon is double the price than Maman Joon. They have a Michelin chef. Maman Joon has less frills but delicious home style food.

The appetizer sampler is a great way to start the meal, the lamb chops were cooked perfectly, and the Adana kabab was flavorful and well seasoned. My only disappointment came at the end of the meal. We were planning to order dessert, but the kitchen had already closed. It would have been nice if our server had stopped by a few minutes earlier to let us know the kitchen was about to close and ask if we wanted to order anything else. That small bit of communication would have made the experience even better. Overall, this is still a great restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Just keep in mind that the kitchen may close earlier than you expect, so if you're thinking about dessert or another course, order it before the kitchen shuts down.

They also say they don't restrict toppings/sauce amounts and historically, that has been true. The last two times I came to this location, I had negative experiences about the toppings/sauces. The first time, I only got one scoop of hummus because I got distracted while ordering. When I came to the counter to ask for a scoop of tzatziki, the woman at the counter asked how many scoops of the dips I had gotten. I answered honestly that I only got one, and she gave me tzatziki but warned me that they're supposed to charge if I already got dips earlier. I didn't want to argue even though I was previously told I could have as many dip scoops as I wanted. The next time I came, I asked for a second scoop of eggplant (which was clearly almost out and they gave me a very stingy amount in the first scoop). Even when they give a generous scoop, I've never been denied an extra scoop of these toppings. The employee said he would have to charge. From everything I see online, Mezeh's policy about toppings hasn't changed, so it's just employees at this location acting shady for no good reason.

This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner.

I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time. The chicken and rice combo was a bit overly spicy for me and upset my stomach slightly. I'd probably get regular for both the next time.

Served in a pistachio citrus sauce over rice, it was very lightly flavored and succulent. The Tahdig did not disappoint, perfectly crisped rice, beautiful color and good flavor!
