Fantastic service, cute little elegant ambience, loved the velvet upholstery and interior decor. Complimentary valet was deff a plus. Came here with a friend for my bday brunch. They brought out complimentary little cakes with candles, super cute. We did the a la carte entree option, I ordered lamb potato hash which was delish. Deff would come back! Pro tip: If you're using Waze, it may not take you right to the restaurant entrance! I ended up driving right past it and looped around just to be able to find it. read more

It's been a while since I've said I wanted to try Joon so I decided to opt for their lunch prefix menu! It's an upscale environment and for lunch there were a lot of corporate-looking diners. It's a pleasant atmosphere and the staff carefully seats you tables apart so you're not all crowded and it's not too loud. Excellent. We weren't particularly hungry so we asked share a full menu item and then ordered a salad to share. The prefix comes with either a salad or a dip(?) and we opted for the dip. The kubideh kebab was tasty. It was juicy and fresh. The rice was good. The salad was questionable. We didn't really like it but we didn't hate it. I wondered if it was just the vinegar or maybe mustard that was hitting too strong. My friend thought maybe it was stale like they'd pickled it too long. Not sure what it was but we couldn't finish it. When we had eaten about 60% the server came by and offered us pita bread. It would've been nice to have it from the beginning... Overall I would return to try their other foods. read more

My friend moved away a few weeks ago, but she missed the DMV so much she came back to visit last week. So that means we had to grab dinner. We made a reservation for Joon in advance. The ambiance felt luxurious and elevated, and there was even complimentary valet parking right outside the restaurant. To start, our server brought a piece of pita with a small plate filled with feta cheese, chimichurri (?), and an herb-seasoned butter. I loved the soft texture of the pita, and my favorite was the feta cheese. HUMMUS - 11 +14 for braised lamb shoulder Another friend recommended the lamb hummus to me, and it was delicious but very heavy. The pickled onions really helped cut the fattiness of the dip, and the lamb was very tender. PISTACHIO SOUP - 16 The soup was super thick, so it was very filling. Overall, pretty savory and delicious, just incredibly dense. My friend and I agreed that we should have just gotten one bowl of soup to share instead of each getting one because we were pretty full at this point. LAMB CHOPS - 58 Sadly, this one was a bit of a miss. I don't think four lamb chops were worth the price of $58. The lamb chops, while flavorful, were really chewy and tough to eat. However, the rice (chelow rice with tahdig) that came with it was phenomenal. When our server placed the bowl down, we could smell the warm, buttery smell instantly. I could literally just eat the rice on its own because it was seasoned on its own. SAFFRON & ROSE WATER ICE CREAM - 16 This came with two scoops of ice cream and a cookie in the middle. The cold dessert was a refreshing way to end a heavy dinner on a hot summer day. While it wasn't incredibly sweet, we thought it was sweeter than most ice creams. The saffron and pistachio flavors were very prominent. Delicious, and we were very pleased with our dessert selection. I'd like to revisit Joon eventually because I think I would have much preferred their chicken harissa and their kabob selections over their lamb chops. I saw other tables order platters of kabobs and those looked phenomenal. Joon is also on inKind, so we were able to pay with the app and save on our meal. read more

Beautiful ambiance and good Persian food, just wish there were more vegetarian options for brunch. I came here a couple of years ago when the walk-up Kitchen Collective window was open. Joon's French Toast - The decadent French toast made with focaccia bread had a bold delicious lemon flavor, topped with raspberry compote and pecans. It was very rich and indulgent. The 4 large slices of toast was generous and the entree doubled over for dessert! Perfect for sharing. The Mango Mimosa was okay, for $12 - I wish the restaurant used fresh mango puree instead of housemade syrup. My friends enjoyed their meaty lamb meals. I would come back to try more vegetarian dishes (besides the omelet and falafel). read more

Truly one of the best meals of my life. Ambiance, service, and food were all perfection. I genuinely enjoyed every dish, but my favorites had to be the sour cherry rice, harissa chicken with fingerling potatoes, lamb and pistachio meatballs, and saffron ice cream with a rose cookie. I can't rave about this place enough; it was out of this world and I will be thinking about it for a long time. read more

Came here with a group on a weekday night for dinner. It wasn't too busy so it was a perfect time, the space was well designed. We received some complimentary dips, they were all very good. We also ordered the mast-o-musir for the table, with the bread it was very good. For my main I got the kubideh kabob, this was very good. It was well seasoned and cooked well. The rice was also very well done and a good portion. The only downside was the drinks, I got the Pom Fizz and it was a bit bitter, normally I don't mind but it was not great. Someone else got the cucumber mint sharbat and it was terrible, she actually sent it back and got a soda instead. Overall a good experience, I would definitely recommend it to others and likely make my way over as well. read more

Loved this place. Reservation for 7 around 6:30pm on. Tue, wasn't too busy. Was sat right after arriving and the vibe in here is great. The decor was modern and really felt like you're in a different world. The lady who assisted us (forgot her name) gave great details about the menu and what to order as well as helped me pick between the lamb chops and lamb shoulder. We ordered all kinds of appetizers, octopus, hummus with lamb, meatballs, and then the lamb shoulder for the main course with the saffron rice. Everything was delicious, and the rice was a large order. Everyone got their own and we could have easily split three between the table. If I was local I would have taken it home. Tisk tisk. I'll keep this on my short list when in the area. read more

I came here for their brunch, and the food was well worth it. We shared with a specialized brunch for around 35-38 dollars. I wasn't sure how much food it would be considering we were sharing but it was way more food than I expected. My favorites were all the dips. They also had a lamb with potatoes which was not my favorite. We did get plenty of bread though. The French toast was so good but by that point. I was very full. The service for this place was okay. It seemed like there was some preferred treatment for other tables, and we had to ask a few times for some extras. The ambiance is great! It's a huge place and they have free valet outside. If you're in the mood for some great food, definitely check this place out. read more

Absolutely loved the ambiance, the interiors are breathtaking. I loved that they have different dining areas which creates a cozier dining experience. We came for lunch on a Saturday and despite the restaurant being pretty full, it wasn't loud at all. Great acoustics! A lot of families with kids, which is great, since we came with our kids too. The food was great! The chicken kabob was tender, juicy, seasoned to perfection. Came with a huge side of rice that was enough for 4 people to share. The breakfast smash burger was also very tasty, the kubideh was very flavorful. Portion was big, specially in comparison to the chicken kabob. A big side of Joon fries comes with the burger. We loved the spices on the fries. Service was impeccable. Overall a great dining experience! read more

Joon is a solid high end Persian restaurant with great food and ambiance. Service is top notch as is the food. I've had the lamb chops and the roasted chicken and both are fantastic. Their hummus is solid as well. Overall a good place for a group get together with a high end feeling and great service. read more

Overall: 5/5 Amazing experience from the aesthetics, acoustics, cuisine, and everything else. Food: 5/5 More often than not, when a restaurant has a short menu, the chef has mastered each dish. From what I tried, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on the menu that doesn't invite your taste buds for another more bite. Aesthetics: 5/5 Luxurious but not pretentious. The space is significantly larger than it looks from the outside. Despite dining during peak hours, I was able to have a conversation without raising my voice. Service: 5/5 Staff was very sweet, from the greeter to the waiter who knew the menu well and gave great recommendations. read more

I love love love when I have a great experience that's the perfect culmination of food, ambiance, and service that makes me want to not only come back but not want to leave. No really they turned the lights off on us lol. Thanks to Yelp (Big Ups) I found this awesome gem Joon and was able go to experience their brunch this past Sunday. It was perfect to hang with a good friend and enjoy being catered to while falling in love with so many of the dishes that we had to catch a second and third breath. Paul did a great job taking care of us and making sure our bill was correct. He inquired if there was anything we enjoyed as much as to have seconds for and brought those items out. I really wish I could have taken home the dango and kashk-e bademjan but I was being cutesie and only had a small purse with me LOL. Paul also gave us a lot of information about the restaurant and changes they've recently made. We got up to leave out and as I stood next to the bar awaiting my friend to use the bathroom, I noticed they had multiple items on my favorites list stocked. That's when Gerard approached asking if he could be a service. I soaked up more information about Joon and vowed to come back. This was an overall great visit and I really appreciate being able to talk with team members to get more insight on how restaurant's foundation and goals. We bid our goodbyes and walked around to the other side of the bar and was greeted by a bartender who also answered questions for us and gave us information about upcoming events. This was a really good experience and it definitely helped restore my faith in dining out. read more

Really nice atmosphere and you can immediately feel why Joon is one of the most highly rated restaurants around Fairfax/Tysons! Food was delicious and our server Christian M was very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. We didn't use it but there was complimentary valet. Also I loved their pom fizz mocktail. Would love to comeback!! read more

Beautiful modern decor, and very spacious. Service was quick, and our server was very friendly! Not the most attentive since we were closer to the bar area. We started off with Hummus with grilled vegetables, olive oil, and sumac. It was delicious! The pita is on the thinner side. We also got Mirza Ghasemi and Barg Kabob. Both were flavorful and filling. I wished the kabob came with a sauce. Overall, solid place to get Persian food, but it can definitely be more on the expensive side. read more

One of the underrated pleasures of an upscale restaurant is complimentary valet parking. It sets a welcoming, stress-free tone from the very beginning--and this place delivered exactly that. The ambiance was excellent, with a stylish, lounge-inspired interior that immediately elevates the experience. We were warmly greeted by a friendly staff, and our server, Rodrigo, did a fantastic job throughout the meal. He was attentive, kind, and efficient. The food arrived impressively fast--which typically raises my skepticism--but I was pleasantly surprised, as any preconceived notions were quickly shattered. Attention to detail was evident throughout: from the presentation of the plates to the golden cutlery and the calming lounge décor. Everything worked together to create a soothing atmosphere that genuinely enhanced the dining experience and, arguably, elevated the food itself. That said, sitting by the window was less enjoyable due to cold air coming through--likely an insulation issue that probably won't be noticeable during warmer months. And if I'm being very picky, the bread did not seem freshly baked, which I would normally expect at a restaurant of this caliber. A fresh-baked option, perhaps paired with an additional dip, would have been a welcome touch--especially since places like Shamshiry and Al Borz set a strong benchmark in this regard. The portions were on the smaller side, as expected for this level of dining, but the flavors were spot-on and refined. I'll definitely be back--ideally when the weather is warmer read more

Joon was such a fun and delicious dining experience! We found out about this restaurant through Eater YouTube videos and knew that we had to check it out. The service was great! Very attentive. The food was amazing. We especially loved the hummus, lamb meatballs and duck fesenjoon. The kebab platter was also awesome! We enjoyed some mocktails and cocktails. They have a great drink menu. We admired the stylish wine glasses and cutlery. We thought this was an all around fantastic dining experience. read more

Went in for dinner after shopping at Tyson's corner. We got a table easily on a Saturday night. We were not very hungry so we just shared two appetizers and one main course. We started with the cucumber salad which was nice and light, had feta crumbles on top. Then we got the squash and cauliflower appetizers, it did not disappoint. It had a hint of spice to it, which was a nice add. For main, we got the lamb shoulder pavé. It was nice and moist with a touch of sweetness and served with vegetables. This was the best lamb shoulder I've had in a long time. read more

Joon has been a bucket list restaurant for my brother and I. We were in DC and knew we had to make a visit and we are so glad we did! The ambiance is incredible and the service we received was top notch! We were blown away by the presentation, quality and taste of everything we ordered. The prices are fair for what you're getting and they have a nice happy hour to take advantage of. You can taste and feel the love they put into this restaurant and I would definitely recommend trying it at least once! read more

IMHO close to Michelin star but not quite there yet. Relatively new Iranian restaurant to the Tyson's area in the former Cheff Geoffs location has a lot of promise. There a few things to work out. One of the things that needs no work is the food. It is exceptional in terms of quality, orientation, and preparation. The details really matter here. It's not your midnight kebab joint. It is fine dining at its best. The price points should give you that expectation. I love the brunch items here to include the lamb and hash. The French toast is amazing but sweet so I would Recommend sharing. The lamb dinner is also exquisite. Even the side veggies are not run of the mill. They use pickled mini onions and heirloom carrots. It makes a huge difference The staff are incredible and accommodating. I always feel welcome and appreciated. I love the little details. The paper clipped heart menus are adorable and the tea service is fantastic. What are items for improvement? The valet and parking. I had no idea the valet was there because there's not much signage. With construction on half of the entrance circle it's very confusing. I ended up walking both times I was there from the garage with no real safe passageway. The plates. Although beautiful they should check the quality. My plate "spun" around as I tried to eat on it becuase it was not flat. Just a little annoying. The staff maybe a little too helpful. It's just strange when there's still food and the staff come by to ask to clear it out. It's a little sad if people waste food that much. We were also the last seating of the night so I couldn't see why they needed to turn tables. The dessert. We ordered everything on the menu and pretty much everything except the chocolate pie and the apple pie had an off putting "cleaning" smell to it. It was especially evident in the rose ice cream. I love traditional flavors and rose flavor so I'm not sure what it was. For $18 for a slice of pie I'm pretty much going to be picky here. read more

The atmosphere is very pleasant and upscale. I went here on a Friday afternoon and there were barely any other customers. You could definitely see how big the restaurant is. I got the $20 lunch special with a chicken kabob and mast-o musir. Chicken was cooked well, with slight smokiness and without being too dry. I also liked the seasoning they used and how it wasn't too overpowering. I tend to be a big eater but the portion size of the dish was very generous. I could barely finish it all in one sitting! read more

Joon was amazing! This was my first time dining here. I had the pistachio meatballs and the mast-o musir to start. My entrée was the duck fesenjoon, which is a whole duck leg sticking in a bowl of really savory stew. Just to make sure you got your carbs in, all entrees came out with rice tahdig, a dish made of delicious basmati rice compacted and fried on the surface for the nice golden brown crispy experience. The food all tasted generally authentic with an American kick. They make a great espresso martini as well. Had a couple of those. No issues about the atmosphere; it was lively and generally upbeat. The valet parking is complementary/priced at your discretion and they take cards, so that was super convenient, I tossed the guy a $20. Overall would highly recommend, has been one of the most authentic Persian dining experiences I've seen in the DMV, and I would definitely go back! read more

Do foodies have favorites?! Always excited to try new restaurants but Joon IS top of my list and a repeat visit is always warranted! Combining a few visits into this review. Great service and elevated casual environment. Bar area with happy hour offered daily! Duck Fesenjoon: I've ordered this every time I have visited! 10/10 flavor profile. My recent visit over the weekend the Duck leg was pretty small with little meat. The manager was super understanding and brought another. Hoping this is not the new normal. Lamb Chops: 10/10. Great portion and taste! Tender and cooked perfectly medium rare! Mezcal torsh: favorite drink however enjoyed everything I have had. Lamb and pistachio meatballs: 10/10. Comes atop mast-o musir so two appetizers in one. I can go on and on, but Joon is a must try! There is complimentary valet in front and parking around the sides. read more

There's an Eater video about this place which makes the food look insanely good and explains some cool cooking techniques the chefs use to achieve their flavor profiles and textures, so I had to check it out. Unfortunately there were a few big misses that disappointed us. Bread service: the complimentary dips were a nice touch, with herb butter, pistachio/olive oil/vinegar, and a goat cheese mix. The pistachio one in particular had a nuanced flavor that I really liked! However the bread had the texture and taste of a tortilla with slightly more chew. It would be great if the bread was softer and thicker to make the dip experience more enjoyable for me. The mirza ghasemi was delicious. Served inside a large roasted eggplant, the dip had the perfect balance of smokiness with the tomato and eggplant with a kick of spice from the harissa. The kebabs were insanely tender, juicy, and flavorful. 100% the most tender barg kabob and juiciest, most delicious kubideh kabob I've ever had! The duck fesenjoon had a sweet yet sour flavor profile from the stew, with a smattering of pomegranate seeds to boot. I think it was too sweet for me. The duck was fall off the bone tender. The rice looked amazing due to the crispy top, but the crispy bits didn't have any special flavor, and kept getting stuck to my teeth. Would've preferred no crispy part and all normal rice. The apple tart didn't seem like it was fresh since the sides weren't crispy at all, but the crust was the best part due to the interesting type of dough they used. The ice cream was highly floral and fragrant, but not to my liking due to the floral notes. The candied walnuts were incredible though! read more

Bottom line: a few ups/ few downs. Overall, ok. There are some tasty plates but surprisingly this is not the best place for the lactose intolerant, so if you have that allergy, keep that in mind. For the high points, we both thought the grilled octopus was well flavored, and the cauliflower and squash dish was tasty. Finally, the top portion of the whole branzino was extremely fresh and tasty. (I credit it both to good sourcing) The problem is that the flavor was often lost because it was swimming in oil. Plus, to our surprise, the barg kabob (filet mignon) had little taste and was a little cold. Service was polite and tried to be attentive, but for this price point, they really aren't where they should be. (Of course, this is going to be server dependent). Some of the answers to questions did not always line up accurately until pressed to consult with the kitchen. Course change outs of plates and silver wear lagged a couple of times. For the price/ quality, the wine was not bad and the wine list is broad for lots of budgets. All in, we had two starters, the kabobs, the branzino for two, a shared dessert, three glasses of wine, and two non alcoholic cocktails. All in with tax and 20% tip (mostly for the effort), it was about $300. If I thought we would have more choices on our next visit (once again, this is from a lactose allergy standpoint), we might try again, but TBH, this was likely a one and done. But the DC restaurant critic class usually gives Joon high marks, so it might be worth it for you. Maybe the stars just didn't line up for us. read more

Set in the upscale, corporate-feeling Fairfax Square, Joon is a relatively new elevated Persian cuisine collaboration between Michelin‑starred chef Christopher Morgan and cookbook author Najmieh Batmangli. From the exterior, the restaurant is unassuming, found inside one of the square's building (you'll need to find parking elsewhere or utilize their valet service). Inside, rich shades of peacock blue, turquoise, and white, velvet banquettes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tile‐inset bar counter bring understated elegance. As we had made a reservation for our party of six, we were immediately led to our table at 1pm on a Thursday, where the restaurant was about half-full (mostly with corporate clientele out on a work lunch). The menu is rooted in traditional techniques and global presentation, with a wonderful blend of classic Iranian dishes such as duck fesenjoon and tahdig to more well-known Middle-Eastern fare (think hummus and falafel), with a contemporary flare from fun Middle East-inspired cocktails. There's also plenty of options to meet different dietary needs, ranging from vegan to gluten free to halal. While this is a bit pricier, it's understandable given the corporate setting and high caliber of the chefs. There is also a lunch special that is quite reasonably priced, which comes with your choice of protein, cucumber salad, mast-o musir, and chelow (saffron steamed rice) with tahdig for $20. All of our food came out within twenty minutes of ordering, which was much appreciated as this was a work lunch. Our servers were extremely attentive (perhaps almost too much so - we were checked in on almost every five minutes throughout our meal), walking us through their recommendations on the menu. We began our meal with some appetizers to share: firstly, their Seasonal Vegetable Hummus ($17) with grilled seasonal vegetables, black garlic, feta, herb oil, Persian basil was truly unique and beautifully presented, with a myriad of colors, textures, and fresh taste. It was served with a side of pillowy, luscious pita bread that soaked up the earthy hummus in a lovely way. Their Kashk-e Bademjan ($13) is composed of grilled eggplant, nana dagh, crispy onions - while I didn't love the flavor of this dish (it felt a bit muted in a sense, especially with the mushiness of the eggplant), I did appreciate the textural contrast of the crispy onion, and it was also nice when paired with the pita. Two members of our party shared the Traditional Persian Black Tea Service (32oz for $16), which came with a beautiful tray of an elegant teaset and fun saffron rock candy. They enjoyed the deep flavors of the tea, which paired nicely with the varied appetizers. I opted for their Cauliflower and Shishitos ($19), which came with a generous portion of roasted cauliflower, shishito peppers, cherry tomatoes, green tahini, and pickled pearl onions. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients, and I appreciated the variety of richness from the tahini and acidity from the pickled onions. However, I did think there was far too much oil pooled at the bottom of the dish, making my last few bites overly greasy. The other five members of my party opted for different variations of the Pre-Fixe Lunch Special - one ordered the kubideh kabob, while another ordered the chicken kabob, and the final two opted for the herb falafel. At $20, this was quite a good deal, as it came with large portions of the selected protein (I heard the kubideh and chicken were quite tender and flavorful), along with a bright cucumber salad, a variety of dips, and a large portion of rice cooked in a stone pot with a crispy exterior. The one thing is that our server attempted to upsell a member of our party to choose the sour cherry rice with tahdig for an additional $8 - while this was certainly stunning with the tart red cherries, she found the dish too tart for her taste, and couldn't take more than a few bites. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch at Joon - the service was attentive, the atmosphere is serene and upscale, and the food is truly unique and flavorful, with reasonable prices for a work lunch or nice dinner. I'll certainly be back to sample some of their dinner options! read more

Amazing place to eat at! The decor here is stunning yet not overdoing it. Our waiter was extremely friendly, provided us with multiple recommendations, and even offered to pack up our food for us! The complimentary flatbread and assortment of "dips" was a nice addition to have at the beginning of our meal. My favorite item here was definitely the Braised Lamb Shoulder Hummus. The lamb was cooked perfectly, and the hummus complimented it well! Everything was super flavorful! I also ordered the Chicken Kabob, and while I liked the meat, I did feel like there was a bit too much rice. I wish the proportions matched, but ordering Toum on the side made it a little better. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was wonderful, but the service and logistics were a bit of a mess. While our main server was great, everyone else seemed like they'd never had any training. Runners and bussers placed food on the (too small) table, dropped it without regard to whom it was for, and reached over people to place dishes. Kabob entrees came on ridiculously small plates to eat on, leaving no room for any of the huge plates of rice that came with the meals. And entrees arrived barely 5 minutes after the soup was dropped on the table, not even in front of the person who ordered it. The meal felt rushed and hectic in an already noisy room (so many hard surfaces for sound to bounce off of). The food was wonderful, so maybe we'll just go with take out next time. Otherwise I won't be recommending this to anyone. (I shared the same review on Google Maps.) read more

Came for the $20 lunch special. The food was tasty and a good deal. They only give 1 kebab rather than 2 but the serving of rice is really big. I liked both the yogurt and salad side options. I paid to upgrade my rice to their award winning fava bean and dill rice but found that I actually preferred my friend's plain tahdig rice. The butter flavor in it was really good. My rice tasted too strong and salty. The restaurant interior was elegant and the server was nice. The food took a little bit to come out. read more

Stopped by for lunch and they have a wonderful lunch special. For $20, you can choose a protein (beef, chicken, or falafel), cucumber salad or a labneh dip, and a bed of rice. It was super filling and delicious. We even had leftovers to bring home. Our waiter was attentive (it was also not at a peak hour so may be different when busy). I would love to come back to try more of their menu. Parking can be a bit of a hassle as its part of the patsy's parking lot, but I did see some valet parking available.

I recently went here for a late Sunday brunch with a friend. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to get seats immediately. The decor is mostly understated with some Persian tilework and art. We received great service throughout our meal, ordering and receiving our food quickly. My friend and I shared the following dishes ordering a la carte (there's also a $55 all-you-can-eat brunch option): Do Piazeh Aloo: A delicious dish! The potatoes were perfectly cooked, the onions provided great crunch, the Aleppo pepper added great heat, and there was a good amount of toum. Spinach and Feta Omelet: The eggs were perfectly cooked, tons of fresh herbs and greens, and a good amount of creamy goat cheese. A good if non-distinctive vegetarian dish. Chicken Kabob: A good dish and a great portion size. We upgraded the tahdig to fava bean and dill rice, which was worth it. The rice was perfectly cooked, the tahdig was appropriately crispy and crunchy, and the fava beans and dill added great flavor and freshness. I also liked the lime, onions, and mint that came with the chicken kabob, which enhanced the flavor and balanced the heaviness of the rice and chicken. The chicken was well-cooked, extremely flavorful, and already taken off the skewer; however, it was quite salty. I would highly recommend Joon for your next birthday or other special occasion! read more

This was my first time at Joon, and I came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with their weekend brunch. We both went for the unlimited brunch at $55 per person and honestly, it was so worth it. The portions were generous enough that we felt satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. I kept it simple with the pomegranate fizz, while my boyfriend explored a bit more, he tried the Mehjoon and had two of the Tehrooni Negronis (their unique take on a classic). Each drink had its own flair, and we were impressed with the creativity behind them. The space itself is beautiful filled with a great vibe. The staff was attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. We left full and happy, already talking about coming back again, this time for dinner. They have complimentary valet, but if you don't wish for that they have extra parking around Patsy. read more

We had a great time today at Joon. We got together for a friend's dinner and the food was on point. The complimentary green butter looked fancy but was ok. Appreciated the aesthetically pleasing look of It but it did not taste remarkable. The rest of the food, however was delicious. We ordered the joon kabob platter which included the chicken kabobs, beef koobideh and the lamb steak medium well. Everything was tender and juicy and even people that did not eat beef or lamb appreciated it. The hummus was delicious especially because of the pomegranate molasses, feta, pepper and olives they added to it. Whoever came up with that combo, nailed it! We wiped it clean with the complimentary lavash bread. Even the cauliflower we got as an app was delicious so if you are a vegetarian, they have great options for you. I did not taste the falafel but the sabzi pulao (rice with herbs) was yummy. I got the mango ginger mocktail and it was a refreshing little drinky drink with my meal. The overall experience would have been a 10 outta 10 if it wasn't for the ridiculous fact that they charge $6 each for serving cake that we brought for our friend's birthday. And that too, in this economy, yikes! Plz do better! Otherwise our dinner was yummo and i'd be back for another special occasion. read more

My mom took me here for my birthday dinner. I like the interior-it's elevated and elegant. They do not give anything extra for bday (just fyi). The staff is very sweet and kind. We got the $50 prix fixe menu: - season vegetable hummus - lamb and pistachio meatballs - chicken kabob - kubideh kabob - chelow rice (preferred this one) - cherry rice -saffron rose water ice cream -Persian love cake All in all very tasty! I got the pistachio martini and mom got the mango and ginger spritz! Would definitely come back! read more

I came here to get takeout since I was in the area. Last time I recall, I liked the Persian love cake but this time it was very different. It still had its base cake familiarity - dense and fragrant, but the toppings are very different. However, the toppings were different with raspberry instead. It was still good--just different. I also got the lamb shoulder pave which was a relatively large block of beef--well cooked and tender. Not the prettiest dish, but certainly filling! read more
