Authentic, filling Persian food
Moby Dick House of Kabob
Why locals love it
With 16 locations in the DC area, you’re bound to come across a Moby Dick at some point. Put aside any expectations of typical greasy street kabobs – the food served at this local Persian chain is many levels above in terms of variety, taste and authenticity.
Why you should visit it
All Moby Dick restaurants are casual and lack waitstaff, but they’re tastefully decorated, clean and good spots to rest your weary feet while filling your stomach. At $6–7, the sandwiches (meat and veggies rolled in traditional flatbread) are budget-friendly and a challenge to finish because of their size.
Special tip
Standouts include the Joojeh (marinated chicken breast) and Kubideh (seasoned ground sirloin).
