My goodness, what a hidden gem! We wanted some take out kebobs. We had heard that their food was very good. I used the online ordering app, it was so very easy. The staff were very friendly. They have a little section where they serve cookies and various nuts! Win win since we wanted to bring something to our Easter gathering. Our food was so good. The platters of meat came with choices of saffron rice(super flavorful), salad or bread. The salads were customizeable(no tomatoes or onions for me) but full of good greens, feta and fresh cucumbers. The beef kebab came with about 7 pieces. Each meal came with packages house dressing and most tasty cucumber and yogurt sauce. Our meals also came with complimentary hot pitas, so huge and fresh. There are some tables for dining in, the place was super clean. We will definitely return especially since the app offers rewards. read more

We went back after a couple of years and the place has been renovated and is much bigger and more spacious, also the service is much better and professional. Having said that the food has become very expensive but tastes the same (as bland) as before. read more

Moby Dick is one of my go-to spots for quick and reliable Persian food. The food is always consistent. The portions are generous for the price, and service is impressively fast. Whether I'm grabbing something on the go or sitting down for a quick meal, they always have everything I'm craving. A solid local favorite! read more

Love thc ehicken here, and the beef is very good too. Consistently not the warmest customer service, so star off -- doens't hurt to say hi and to smile at the customoer when taking an order. Aside from that, the food is delicious. Been coming here for 15 years and will keep coming. So good! read more

We ordered delivery of the joojeh (chicken) kabob with half rice and half Moby Dick salad, chenjeh kabob, and must-o-moosir. Highlights: joojeh kabob (flavorful, juicy) and rice (well-seasoned), must-o-khiar. Lowlights: chenjeh (dry, tough), pita bread (dry), Moby Dick salad (the dressing had something in it that made it super tart/unnatural-tasting that it literally made my tongue tingle). I'd definitely order the chicken kabob again with rice, but forgo the salad. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The service was good and welcoming, and the food was excellent from start to finish. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I am so disappointed in their quality. The hummus was overly salty and the bread was NOT soft and chewy at all. It seemed like they were store bought and they were hard. I ordered kubideh sandwich and the bread was very tough. read more

Delicious meals all around. Boy what didn't we order? We got the 2 hummus platter, 2 grape leafs, 1 gyro, 2 chicken & lamb kabobs, side of salad, 3 soups, extra pita, extra cucumber sauce, 2 kids grilled chicken, and 4 dessert. (This was all a take out order) We came to visit family and wished there was a moby's back home. We'd be regulars! read more

The last time I was here I was not impressed but it's been years. I ordered for my family on Uber eats. The food was good. The portions big. The food was fresh and taste. The prices were very competitive... maybe better than the competition, giving it an edge. I can't rate the location. The only negative was the time to deliver exceeded the max by 2 minutes. Although food traveled well and seemed fresh. I'll have to give it a visit for a more detailed review. read more

Went back to to the restaurant to use a credit for uncooked chicken kabob on previous trip. Ordered a kubideh well done along with chicken kabob and you would think since my last issue was uncooked chicken that this time they would make sure it's cooked all the way through. Was disappointed to see pink in the chicken and well done kubideh was raw inside. I don't know if they ever listen to your order and how you want it cooked. The staff acts like you should not complain about your food and I'm sure when I returned the two meals to be remade again they did something to it because it didn't taste like it normally would. I will never go to this location again and perhaps maybe none of them. And having to tip them every time without them even doing anything. If I have to do all the work then why I have to leave a tip? Very disappointed read more

Catered from Moby Dick for my 30th birthday party and it was amazing! Such an easy process when ordering over the phone. They delivered to the venue and even set up the buffet table with sterno trays so our food would stay hot for the entire party, which is something they don't usually do! Super sweet of them. They came right on time and even brought serving utensils incase I didn't have any. Food was delicious! We had tons of leftovers to take home, thank goodness because I could eat their dolmeh all day. They have tons of different catering tray options that come with apps, salad, and sides. We ended up choosing tray 4 and subbed out the dessert for an extra appetizer. It was more than enough food for 40 people. read more

Food was delicious and customer service was great! Restaurant is always clean and well maintained.

Hamid the manager has been welcoming for many many years - always makes us feel at home, and offers the bottom-of-the-pot crunchy rice when available. The food is consistently decent for this cuisine. Always fresh with pita right off the hot oven made in front of you by a very friendly baker. We found this particular branch much more welcoming and pleasant than the some of the others in our area, which is why we always come back here when we are in need for quick and tasty middle eastern food. We often opt for the various daily specials - always a treat worth trying if you are lucky enough to get them before they sell out. Price is extremely reasonable for the generous portions and good taste. Go Moby! read more

I've been ordering combo #3 for lunch once a week for quite a while now. It comes with lamb and ground beef kebab; I order it just over rice. The lamb is tender every time -- sometimes even a little bit pink inside -- with deliciously browned edges. The beef is soft, amazingly seasoned and also is perfectly browned. The rice is fragrant, flavorful and fluffy -- such a good match for the meats. On top of that, it comes with a half piece of their delicious flatbread. I usually get two of their spicy green sauce instead of one each of green and yogurt sauce. One of the greens is what I dip the bread into and the other is for drizzling onto bites that I've meticulously crafted and mounted onto my fork. Yikes, it's so good. The staff is very friendly, and I've had no issues with my orders; though, I have only ordered to take out from inside the restaurant. Just be sure that you are understood and that you understand what is said and everyone will be happy and have delicious food to eat. read more

Service for a place being empty is unbelievable. 25 minutes for a sandwich! Not sure what the issue is. Register people working in front then going to kitchen to work with food. read more

I used to avoid Moby Dick because there are so many other kabob restaurants that aren't from a large chain, but I went to this one several weeks ago because I didn't feel like driving to another one and I'm glad I did. First I'm not sure why people are saying the staff is rude, I have found them to be businesslike but pleasant enough. I have now been to this location about 4 times and the kabobs have been very consistent, not burnt, and pretty tasty. I LOVE the rice and the green/chutney sauce. I was very concerned when I first got the sauces as they are pre-packaged and I worried that it would just be tasteless, but it actually has a very good flavor. The rice is the really the star of the show, especially when you mix a little green sauce in with it. I will say the only kabobs I get from here are chicken, I tried the lamb twice and it was not good- very dry and overcooked even though I asked for it to be cooked medium rare. The restaurant is kept clean and the to go orders are always done on time. I think one area where improvement is needed is the pita bread- it is never very good. It is sort of stale tasting most of the time and kind of dry, without much taste at all. Overall, the chicken kabobs here are tasty, consistent and served by nice people. The rice is pretty much the best I've ever had. read more

Ordered our spicy chicken kabob and Hummus. Such a hot weekend and day and not so crowded and this time our order was ready on time and correct. Located in a strip mall close to the Harris Teeter it's easy to find and park. Inside has many tables and a very active carry out. The food is great, no complaints read more

Food, and service was ok. Ambiance- not the kind restaurant you would go to for ambience.

Just recently tried moby dick house of kabob for the first time, and it did not disappoint! I had the kubideh kabob and a side of hummus. My friend had the ground lamb kabob with some rice and veggies (pictured). The ground beef in the kubideh kabob was delicious and tender. The roasted tomatoes were a lovely addition. The sauces provided with the meal were also very tasty. The hummus was a nice generous portion as well. I would definitely order from here again! read more

We were their Customers for many years. Lately their Kebab quality has deteriorated. We recently ordered kebabs for a party and they had burnt the kubeideh. They also did not give us any sauces. Our guests had to eat dry burnt kebabs without any sauce. I would rather go to their Sterling location where they have much better service. I also find their staff very rude. read more

The quality of food ent down significantly. I had kubbideh and it was not hot served like a room temperature

I don't recommend this place to Persian food lovers at all. In fact no one in the kitchen and front even has a clue what's going on in regards to Persian food! Disgraceful read more

We get the family player #2 sometimes twice a week and never get sick of it. The spicy ground chicken kabob is crazy good. The green sauce is to die for. The rice is beautiful. read more

Awesome! Been to most of these locations, and Ashburn is great also. The people are super nice, and the food is just awesome. You will struggle to find better chicken kabob, even overseas. The marinade and spices before they char grill their kabobs is amazing. The beef kabob is really really tender and definitely recommend the ground beef and chicken options, lots of spices with them. The yogurt sauce with the bread and food is so good. But, the best sauce is the green chutney. It's spicy, but not too bad. It's got a cilantro, yogurt, mint, acidic flavor that is just perfect with the meat, bread, and rice. Love that they do authentic saffron in their rice also. Go!! read more

I'm glad that they open during covid. This place is amazing. Fast for pickup and food is amazing. read more

The falafel needs a little work. It's kind of small, uninspired and dry. The tempeh is gross, too pickly. The rice and kabobs are pretty awesome. Overall it's what you'd expect -- decent chain food, but go to a more authentic, non-chain middle eastern establishment if you want better food. And don't expect it to be fast. It's definitely not. read more

It's a crying shame. The food is delicious. But how to get it is the problem. Ordered through their app for delivery at 6:45 (I ordered at 6:08). Food got there, after 5 phone calls (each of which was a person at Moby Dick's saying "yes they are on the way, 5 more minutes"), at 7:15. That's a really long wait with hungry kids. Especially when you are standing outside the community pool on the curb, waiting. What's worse when I finally got the food two neighbors approached me to tell me they like the food but don't go there anymore. Why? Because they have ordered ahead and still waited over an hour when they went to pick up! So while the food is great I would say don't order unless you are not hungry and have plenty of time to kill. Oh and they brought us no silverware or napkins read more

Persian style kabobs and probably one of the better options for kabobs in the immediate area here. They do offer more than just kabobs though, with specials of baked chicken, which I tried one time and it was pretty moist, tender, and flavorful. They do make their bread, so that's a really nice touch. They do give an awfully a lot of rice though. It does take some time though for your order to come out because they grill the kabobs to order, which is pretty standard for most kabob joints. read more

I haven't been to Ashburn location until yesterday and I'm glad we did. We placed our dinner order for pick up as we cannot dine in during this time. Ordering online was simple & quick, once we got there, I noticed they had put the tables & chairs to the side in an attempt to widen the entry so it's you can still social distance when there's more than one customer. Picking up food was very simple, they left the completed order with my name printed on the "pick up" table.. Food was as good as expected and I personally find Moby Dicks price more reasonable than other places. Meat is seasoned just enough (not overwhelming) and I love they give you enough sauces! We love the sauce, and normally buy extra. Large one costs just under $3! read more

Moby's has always been one of my favorite places. They have a bunch of locations around the DC area, this one in Ashburn has been around for about 7 years now. "Meat on a stick" is the order of the day, lots of kabob choices. While most people gravitate to the beef and lamb choices (which are all excellent), I think the chicken is amazing. They manage to get the marinated spices much more intense than many other places. Most dishes come with rice and/or bread, and the bred is made to order in front of you. It's not just a meat fest though, they have a number of vegetarian plates. While that's not my thing, when I have gone with vegitarians they have raved about them making this a great place to take a group of folks with varied diatery needs. read more

My coworkers have been raving about about this place since I started a few months ago, so I finally got a chance to go try it the other day! I love kabob and it had been wayyyy too long since I've had it. First, it's not that far from my office, score! Second, it's delicious! I got the chicken kabob, I like that it's ground chicken, and it's spicy! It takes a little while to cook, but they give you fresh hot bread while you wait, with that yummy white cucumber sauce. They make the bread there so it's hot and soft, seriously I could talk about the delishiousness of that bread all day long. I like that they give you the option to sub out an entire plate of rice, for a half a plate of rice and salad. If you like spicy, try their green sauce! It's so good, I dip everything in it and even poured it on my rice, it's my personal favorite sauce when it comes to kabobs. I'm so happy I finally tried this place, I can finally get my weekly kabob fix! read more

Not all Moby Dick's are the same and if you haven't been to the better one you'd like the food here. Compare to the others, I don't like the food, owners are rude, and service is poor.

I wouldn't recommend this location! read more
