I've come twice for brunch now and have had a delicious meal both times. The AYCE is perfect for a group meal and there's something for everyone's taste buds on the menu. All the dips are a must try! We ordered some dessert, not on the AYCE menu and it was well worth it. read more

Loved the ambiance. Beautiful, well laid out and comfortable space. Though the seating in the booth we were in has experienced extensive use and would love a bit of tlc. Our server was exceptional, welcoming and always smiling and efficient. Our cocktails came fast and were good. Went brunchtime and as the a la carte selection didn't exite, went fot the pre fix @ 55.00. Not a middle eastern expert but our group liked the falafel, the eggplant dip, and the french toast at the end. The chicken and beef kababs were ok, with the chicken being dry and of the two beef kebabs one was overly charred. Still a nice experience to warrant a dinnertime visit. read more

The food is very good during the brunch service, however, the restaurant owners / manager need to take action with respect to their service staff. Our server was a huge problem and extremely rude. At one point, he flipped out and said he was going to bring us everything on the brunch -- even though we didn't order everything. He also tried to charge us for ala cart items when we clearly ordered off the single priced brunch menu. The place is a disaster and management needs to introduce a formal training program-- because what they are currently doing is driving away repeat customers. read more

Joon is very tastefully decorated and positioned in a prime location near Tysons Corner Mall. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and presented artistically. I would call the food Persian fusion. The owner is famous for her cook books and comes from a prominent family of Iranian business people. I would have given Joon 5 stars but there was a little issue with it being cold inside. I don't think this problem was necessarily caused by the owners, hopefully find a way to deal with it. read more

Occasion: birthday brunch. Reservations were easily booked and our preferences were honored. The hostess was friendly and patient with our seating accommodations and the waiter was knowledgeable and had perfect timing. Decor was less impressive than advertised online. Considering location, we expected a smidge of opulence. Nevertheless, there is adequate seating and the layout was inviting. A la carte menu was how we decided to go because we like to sample and graze but definitely need to carryout the rest, and this is not an option with the unlimited $55/person. Fair notice, it does explicitly state this at the top of their menu. Ordered: Nargesi Esfenaj | Persian Spinach and Feta "Omelette" | 14 Sosis Bandari Sandwich | 14 Lamb and Potato Hash | 22 Barg Kabob | 38 Beverages: coffee and flat water We didn't try the desserts but they seem intriguing. If it matters, we arrived at 1:30 pm. Brunch is over by 3 pm. Max 2-hour window. Bottom line, the omelets are not worth ordering. Sosis sandwich is like a can of Bush's baked beans and hot dog covered in gravy. Filet mignon is as average as Mexican skirt steak. Tahdig not bad. The star of our meal was the lamb and potato hash- full of flavor, tender, and no gristle. Total bill $112. Pics for your viewing pleasure. Nooshe Jan! read more

I rarely give 5 stars, but today is the day. This was my second time coming back to Joon for their weekend brunch and we were blown away again. The website says a Michelin starred chef works here and I believe it! The unlimited brunch portions are full sized, so plan to share them with others at the table. Everything was superb, but their French toast stole the show! Everything was superbly plated. We wanted to try one of everything from the menu, but we barely got to half the menu. If you want to impress with an unforgettable brunch experience, come here! read more

My friend and I went here for their weekend unlimited brunch and it is hard to put into words how above and beyond the service was. I have a host of dietary restrictions, and so the staff ensured an incredible dining experience with constant communication with the kitchen, annotating the menu to make me aware of safe and unsafe foods, and then explaining each dish as it was delivered. Having extensive allergies can be burdensome, so the effort, intention, and compassion put into ensuring we had a good experience was so incredibly meaningful. Thank you so much, we will be back! read more

Joon - Annotated Menu - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Loved this place! Definitely get the seasonal vegetable hummus and the Persian love cake. You won't regret it! The hummus is drenched in extra virgin olive oil, a balsamic glaze and topped with roasted tomatoes, eggplant and Serrano chilies with some herbs. It also comes with feta but we asked them to hold it. The kabob meals come with a large serving of toasted saffron rice, roasted tomatoes and onions plus pickled onions and herbs. But the star of the meal was the Persian love cake. I've read about it and dug up some recipes, but I've never actually eaten one until tonight. The combination of the saffron, rose water glaze, pistachio cream and peach jam has to be experienced. I had a moment! read more

I went here on Tuesday for lunch. It was amazing. The bar and restaurant provide a nice sense of ambiance. We ordered the lamb hummus, the chengeh kabob, and the sour cherry rice with tahdig. Chef Chris Morgan came to our table. He recommended the cauliflower and squash, a cucumber tzatziki sauce, an eggplant dish, and a garlic sauce, so we added those in. Everything was just...wow. The cauliflower and the kabob were my favorite, but every dish was "out of this world delicious". I ordered the rose/pistachio ice cream for dessert. I loved it. I just watched Chris Morgan on "America's Culinary Cup". He is currently one of four chefs left competing for $1 million. I am so impressed with him. Thank you Chris for personally coming to our table and recommending dishes for us. The food was amazing, and I hope you win your TV show! read more

Came here with a huge group and we feasted! Lots of fresh pita, dips, falafel to start and then every type of protein from branzino to rib eye kabob to chicken kabob. Everything was delicious. For dessert we had a sampling of everything. The custard cheesecake was amazing and I think my favorite was the raspberry sorbet. So good. The servers did great with our big group. The restaurant was definitely loud but beautiful and worth every bite! read more

Fantastic dinner at Joon this week! This was our 1st visit, and will NOT be out last! Came with another couple for dinner. First, the decor is elegant and tasteful. Service, from the start, was exceptional, and food perfect. Once we finished the ample appetizers we found ourselves needing only two meals and the highly recommended cherry rice. Wow... The lamb "velosh?" was off the hook! Another big surprise was the cherry rice... Another wow! In addition to the meals we ended up ordering two bottles of wine, both tempranillos. Reasonably priced and absolutely delicious! The girls ended up ordering the dessert, so I'm honestly not sure what it's called, but it's a traditional Persian dessert with marzipan. Absolutely perfect way to end the evening! I can't recommend this place high enough. I came in not expecting much - something more like an upscale Moby Dick's or Shamcherey (sp?). No, this was nothing like either of those restaurants. This was upscale and elegant! Bravo to Joon! read more

This place is awesome! Our first time dining at Joon (brunch) and they had me at the Hummus! Just perfectly seasoned, not too coarse and served w. warm, chewy bread that's crisp around the edges. Wife had the Caesar w. chicken kabob and I had their breakfast burger. The burger was seasoned w. Persian inspired seasoning and came w. generous side of crispy shoestring fries, also seasoned- it was one of the best burgers I've ever had, so yummy and different in a good way! This place is a remarkable value considering the fine dining setting, kind service and quality of food created by a pair of celebrated chefs w. Michelin experience, located in a luxury retail strip in prime Tyson's real estate! All of this, yet I've paid this much or more for bar food, made by a line cook, served by a kid in a t-shirt! Joon deserves all of the credit and praise! read more

Visited in October 2024 with a small group. One member was Persian, and he ordered for the table. Overall, a very nice experience.

I came here for a business happy hour and subsequent dinner meeting. The place is conveniently located in Tysons corner, although parking is a bit difficult to find, you could use the valet if needed. The place is pretty nice and modern, but extremely loud with poor acoustics. It does have a interesting variety of Persian food although it was a bit bland for my taste, the service was pretty good and it was good to go to a new restaurant in the Tysons area. Having said that the food is expensive making this once in a while kind of a place to go, definitely worth giving it a shot if you haven't tried it before.. read more

Had a near perfect night at Joon. Was home for the holidays and wanted to meet up with my uncle for a nice dinner somewhere we could have a traditional Persian dinner. Joon checked that box while providing over the top excellent service, fantastic flavors in every single dish, impeccable ambiance, and an unforgettable evening. We started with two appetizers: lamb meatballs and falafel. I highly recommend you order both of these items. They both come with 5 portions, so good for a group to split up a taste. The lamb meatball may have been my favorite dish of the night, with a huge sour flavor explosion from the pomegranate glaze followed by a hearty finish. Falafel was seasoned very well and had a nice spice. We opted for 2 kabob platters for our group of 5. One with lamb shishlik and one with prawns. These skewers were a nice addition but only exploratory, not completely necessary. The star of the show here was the cornucopia of koobideh kabob and prime cut of barg. This was the best barg I've ever had, cooked perfectly to a medium. The chicken kabobs were fantastic as well. We ended up doing one platter with regular saffron rice, one with Fava Bean & Dill rice (baghali polo), and then added a side of the sour cherry rice. My favorite was the sour cherry but all were fantastic in their own expressions. Portions were perfect for our group and we had plenty of delicious leftovers to munch on later. We finished with the classic bastani saffron ice cream, which also came with a traditional flour cookie. Reminded me of my childhood when my father used to whip this up on special occasions. So good. Thanks to Joon for an amazing and unforgettable experience. To our waiter Eric, chef Chris, manager Carol, and everyone else we interacted with during this night, THANK YOU!! We will be back! read more

Four of us were delighted with our dining experience. Our service was stellar. An olive spread, goat cheese, feta and herb butter with pita was offered complimentary while we perused the menu. We went with fried sardines, lamb pistachio meatballs, and bademjan appetizers. All very different, and all well executed. We shared duck beryan for our entree. Presented beautifully, adorned with edible flowers, this dish had sour orange and barbery preserve sweet notes. It had a side of Persian rice where the outer layer brings a crunch and sour cherries along with spices brings a unique flavor. Our desserts included the Persian love cake , and the roulette . Both were balanced with spices that get you away from away from the typical heavy handed overly sweet desserts on many menus. Joon gives you Persian food at its finest, and is not to be missed. read more

It's a bit tough to find. It's not in the main plaza but right next to Tiffany. When you're facing Tiffany, look yothe right and it's in the loop on the left side. The place is beautiful and quite spacious. A side note, they allow casual dress but we were waaaaay underdressed after our trip. We both got the Tuesday special. He got fried sardines and loved them. I got falafel and they were just ok. The hummus was good but runny. Second course he got salad and I got pistachio soup. Wow. The soup was excellent. It was creamy and the zereshk on top made it alive. Main course he got soltani. Added Barg was $35. I got joojeh wth baghali polo. Honestly we were both disappointed with the main course. First time I ever saw him not finish his rice. The rice was slightly mushy. Dessert was also underwhelming. The bastani had no pistachios. I thought the love cake was good though. Overall I give the food a 3.5/5. I got the Tehrani cocktail and it was good. Definitely overpriced for $19 but still nice. Dinner cost us $200 plus tip but we were super full when we left so the portions are generous. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed, as was he. The food was not up to the hype and we didn't find anything overwhelmingly special about the entire experience. I would come back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Friendly service. She came by between tables but there were long breaks between. Never got another bottle of sparking water so we went without before dessert. read more

Slightly upscale Persian restaurant with a swanky decor Have a variety of authentic (and unique) Persian dishes, which vary between being individual portions and portions that are meant to shared. I came here with my family and we split a bunch of things between the 7 of us. Everything was pretty solid. They did seat us at one very long table however, which made it far more difficult to both talk and eat than if they'd had a round (or round-esk) table. Solid cocktail menu A little loud Complimentary bread + butter, olive spread, and goat cheese Valet service read more

Had their lunch special and ordered pistachio soup. Soup was too salty, creamy and heavy. I did not enjoy. Sadly, everything that came with chicken kebab minus the tomato and flat bread was too salty. Tasted my husband's kibeh beef. Yes super salty as well. Even the yogurt sauce and cucumber salad you can't enjoy due to salty flavor. Won't be coming back as I found everything too heavily salted for my taste. read more

servers have always been amazing, food has been great, we go for a birthday dinner and they tell us we're being too loud. nobody else is in the restaurant. we have gone here for MULTIPLE gatherings, date nights, etc. Sadly we will not be back. owners were very rude and entitled. it was truly an awful experience and our entire Persian family will not be back. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!! I have tried countless kabobs and this one really stood out. Especially being in Tysons where food is overpriced, I really thought this was an amazing deal next to other kabob competitors in the area. We went during lunch and got the prix fix lunch special. For $20 I thought this was a great deal and the food was absolutely amazing, so flavorful and juicy. And look at that pile of rice! My favorite. Was a large portion with saffron spices. Really the best kabob in the area in my opinion. The restaurant is really cute , very comfy chairs it has a nice vibe in there. Service was fast and efficient. read more

Joon - Chicken Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I love Persian food and was really excited about Joon coming to the neighborhood. The place is really cute! I love the colors and the furnishing is really nice and comfy. The servers are really nice and welcoming! Sadly I think the food fell short for me. The flavors just weren't there. There was also zero sumac which I though was odd. I love sprinkling sumac on my kubideh and rice.... That spice screams Iran. Anyways, sorry I don't have much to add because I just wasn't really impressed. I had high hopes because the chef came from a restaurant that I love, so I really hope things turn around and pick up for them. read more

We came back and tried tab sodas and new some dishes. I don't recommend tab sodas because they were filled with ice from bottom to top, only a few sips of soda. Nor do I recommend the desserts because they were very ordinary. The food is the best, including appetizers, salads, rice and kabobs. Fresh and delicious! 5*Complimentary Zeytun Parvadeh Starter 5*Doogh: carbonated yogurt beverage with mint. We liked it. 3*Sour Cherry & Tarragon Soda: basically a full glass of ice, not much drink at all. 3*Black Lime & Fig Soda: interesting but too much ice. 4*Mast-o Musir: a yogurt appetizer made of yogurt, Persian dried shallots, mint, rose petals: mild flavor. 4*Mirza Ghasemi: eggplant appetizer made of eggplant, sungold cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, turmeric, lime, olive oil poached egg. flavor was light. 4.8*Shishlik (Lamb Rib Chop): five pieces of lamb rib chops were tender and flavorful. Option of salad or rice, we selected Persian flavored rice over plain rice. The best choice, as the rice was mixed with spices, golden, crispy, and very flavorful. 4.9*Jujeh Kabob: whole bone-in cornish hen, yogurt, lime, onion, butter, saffron, salad shirazi: we were not given the whole hen as the menu indicated, but just a few pieces of chicken drumsticks. Very tasty though. It was served with tomato salad. There was an of option of rice available. 4.8*Barg Kabob Filet mignon, onion, black pepper, saffron, lime. olive oil, Persian cucumber salad: Not much meat, but tender and flavorful. Salad was very fresh. read more

I love Mediterranean food so I was so excited to come here. The service was amazing, everyone on staff was nice and hospitable but the food fell all the way flat. My favorite item was the complimentary appetizer... Given the price point, I thought the food was going to be exceptional, but it was wayy overpriced for mediocre food. If you're coming from DC it's not worth the trek, the prices at Ala and Maydan are cheaper and taste 10x better. We ordered the Duck Fesenjoon and Barg Kabob. I didn't finish the duck. It was cooked well but the sauce was bland and did not go well with the duck so I couldn't eat it. The rice that came with it was too crunchy. The Barg kabob was ok, most likely bc it was filet mignon, but it needed a sauce or something. It was just lightly seasoned meat and crunchy white rice. We also ordered lamb Sanbuseh and mirza ghasemi for the table. The lamb sanbuseh was fine, it reminded me of a meat pie. However, avoid the mirza ghasemi. It sounds good on the menu but it's a saucy mixture and the only flavor that really came out was the tomato. It's a cute spot for a date night, so maybe come here just for drinks? read more

I've been wanting to come back after a fun night at Joon for Yelp event over a year ago! My best friend and I went for brunch on a Saturday. We had their unlimited small plates option. It felt family style instead of tapas because the dishes were generously big for tapas. My favorites were the falafel and the beef sausage (Sosis Bandari) but every dish was flavorful! The space is beautiful and our server was very friendly. The complimentary valet is a plus! I'd definitely recommend! read more

Nothing like having another Persian restaurant in Tyson's (where Chef Geoff's used to reside). Came in on a Saturday for lunch to a relatively empty restaurant. First area we were seated in had some condensation issues w their HVAC (hot day) and was dripping all over the table and seating area. We asked to be relocated and were seated in a new area. This might've been a problem if the restaurant had been packed. Server was super friendly and patient and brought provided us the drink and food menus. We started off with the Anar Margarita which was super tasty. Next, we ordered the mast khiyar as an appetizer which was really good and creamy. For entrees we (4 people) shared the kabob platter which included one kubideh, one barg and one chicken skewer. We also added another kubideh entree and a baghali polo. The kubideh was a bit flat and jelly like, the chicken was a bit dry but the star was definitely the barg. I'd come back and order just the barg and mast khiyar. The food was overall pretty good. I'd say that in my preferred order for Persian kabobs in the DMV: 1) Rumis 2) Shamshiri 3) Alborz 4) Amoo 5) Joon & Divan Wasn't the best kubideh I've had and wouldn't order it again. The chicken was t bad just a bit dry (also you get some boneless, some bone in). The barg had the best flavor and the baghali polo was good as well. The check at the end was all over the place. Items we never ordered appeared on it like 2-3 glasses of wine, entree we never ate as well as appetizers we never ordered. We had to get 3 different checks and verify all items we had ordered which was a bitch sketchy. Overall, service was good as they took care of the issues read more

Joon - Kubideh, Kabob Platter (kubideh, barg, chicken), salad shirazi, mast Khiyar and baghali polo - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I'd rate Joon four and a half stars. Giant, upscale Persian restaurant. We made a pit stop on our way back from Virginia to New York on a Saturday night. We walked in a little before six and were seated immediately. Most customers were dressed nicely. They have a full bar. About eight beers on draft; all were macros. Decent selection of wines with plenty of options available by the glass. They have complimentary bread which comes with feta cheese, goat cheese, an herb butter, and a minced olive salad. I appreciated the starter as free bread courses seem to becoming obsolete. For appetizers, we shared the Persian cucumber salad, the rotisserie cauliflower, and the masto khiar (yogurt and cucumber dip). These appetizers were plenty and we could have easily skipped the main course. For a vegetarian couple, I think this would be a perfect order. For a meat eating couple, I'd probably skip the cauliflower in lieu of an entree. I'd also encourage a half portion of the yogurt dip. The Persian cucumber salad is a must order. It comes with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, herbs, and dressing. So much going on here. There a fruit flavors, herb and leaf flavors, nuttiness. There are elements of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. One of my favorite salads that I've had. The cauliflower was a great dish too and super filling as it's a half head of cauliflower. Pleasantly seasoned and dressed. I think it eats more like an entree and would recommend it as a main. I enjoyed dipping it into the yogurt. We were full by the time the main course was platted, but it made a zealous effort to try everything on the plate. We had a mix of skewers including the lamb kebab, the barg, and the chicken kebab. All of them were juicy. They were a bit liquify; I'm guessing they were baked in oil. Would have loved for some char on the meats; nevertheless, they were delicious! Loved the roasted onion and tomato too. The star of the plate might have been the tahdig crispy rice. It's served upside down, so there is a dome of crispy rice over the soft and savory rice. The top layer is so crispy that you could eat it with your hands as a chip! We were very full, so we skipped dessert. Though, all the options looked intriguing. The service was attentive and our waiter was friendly. The pacing of the food was quite good too. There are gendered restrooms which has handicap accessible stalls. They have valet parking and a parking garage nearby. read more

Awesome place - good ambiance, food, service, etc. We went for Restaurant Week and also got a variety of spreads and appetizers.

I used to love this place. Would have given 5 stars but... Something changed in recent months. When ordering dip we received one bread wrap per dip. Which was not enough for us. We still had dip left with no bread. When we requested more bread we were told it comes with one. Really? Bread is so cheap! Eventually they gave us more bread, but already felt weird. Also bread used to arrive warm this time it was cold. When we ordered our favorite dessert, the rose water ice cream, what used to be three scoops and a cookie, is now one scoop and a wafer. For the same price! There is also a high turnover of staff. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration with family! It is a busy place but luckily large. We had a reservation for a Saturday night. I started with an espresso martini, since it was my birthday being celebrated. Then I ordered three dishes for the the table. I ordered the Kashk-e Bademjan, a eggplant dip with crispy onions and green onions on top. It was very flavorful and a creamy texture. I ordered the Mushroom Khotesh, a creamy mushroom stew/curry kind of thing. Very very tasty, and it came with rice! The last item was the Joon Kabob Platter. It was the perfect size for four people. It came with everything - rice, kubideh kabob, barg, chicken kabob, grilled tomato, and grilled onion. It was all absolutely delicious! The three dishes were just a little more than needed for the four of us. But we brought some home as leftovers so very worth it. We even ordered dessert, saffron and rose water ice cream! It was so good and refershing, easy to eat after all the food. Definitely would come here again for special celebrations! read more

This is a solid brunch spot. I split the lamb and potato hash, breakfast platter, and Joon french toast with others. I would say the french toast was my favorite. It was nice and spongey, and I liked the bread that they used. The whipped cream with lemon curd was quite nice, and I liked the apples on top. The hash was pretty good as well, but I wish the potatoes were cut smaller and there was more crunch to them. But the lamb was quite tender and tasted really good. The breakfast platter was solid. The interior is nice, and the restaurant has plenty of seating. I thought the price for the portion size wasn't too bad. The service was pretty good, nothing really to complain about except she maybe didn't visit the table enough. My main complaint would be that they gave us water jugs for the table, and one of them was dirty near the top. It looked like there was something in it. The restaurant needs to do a better job of making sure their dishes are clean, as that was a little bit of a turn off. Overall, the experience was pretty good. I would come back for the food in the future. read more

I can count in one hand the number of Iranian Restaurants that I have ate in the US. After reading the info about this new restaurant in Tyson, I knew I have to stopped here and try. It is located in the same block as Tiffany & Co. I do like the deco and the ambience of this restaurant. It definitely feels upscale but homey. Service is great. Our waitress is very attentive and knowledgeable. Our water bottle and bread were refilled promptly. Now for the food. Instead of the usual Kabob, we decided to get the Duck Beryan and the Barg Kabob. We also orders the Lamb & Pistachio Meatballs for appetizer. The lamb appetizer is amazing . I never have anything like this before. The Duck is very flavorful and is a huge portion. Now, the meal isn't cheap. For us, it's about $250 before tips. I'm torn on this. The food is very good but I'm not sure if the price is justified. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for a chef who used to worked at a one Michelin Star restaurant in DC. read more

Situated in the former Chef Geoff space, Joon's interior design/decor was well thought out for the perfect ambiance. Beautiful spaces with perfect levels of lighting from lovely fixtures, fixated with marble tables and luxurious color tones. Our server Madison really made the night a memorable experience. She was attentive, funny, and accommodating. Each table is immediately set with a small sampling of dips and bread - great way to start the meal. The food overall was good. Branzino was fresh and tender, the eggplant dip savory, and the kebob dish flavorful. Downside - the prices are quite high, definitely upscale (dress appropriately). I was really excited about the tadigh rice..which was ok - it wasn't as fluffy as it should be, a bit dry. The chicken kebob was also a tad dry. I wouldn't order the dessert again, it was underwhelming. We'll definitely be back to try the other dishes! read more
