Moby Dick House of Kabob — Restaurant in Washington

‏Jan 7th 2025, we went to Moby Dick restaurant in Washington, D.C. Don’t expect much from the interior design of the restaurant—it’s more of a takeout place than a sit-down restaurant. However, since we are traveling, we wanted to dine in at the restaurant. We ordered rice with lamb shank and koobideh kabob. ‏When they brought the food, the first shock for me was that instead of grilled tomatoes with the koobideh, they served it with lettuce salad and a piece of feta cheese on top. Everyone knows that koobideh kabob must be served with grilled tomatoes! ‏The plates were extremely small, making it hard to eat. As you can see in the attached photo, my husband tried to eat his food and ended up in this awkward situation. The yogurt and cucumber tasted good, but it wasn’t traditional yogurt and cucumber—it was something they had improvised. ‏The only positive point was the low cost of the meal, but honestly, given the service, they shouldn’t charge more anyway. I’ve also attached photos for reference. I was very dissatisfied and absolutely do not...

These are the core things you can expect from a Moby Dick’s location: 1. Delicious food (try the Chenjeh - gorgeous marinated beef, try the saffron rice - light and fluffy and mix in that pat of butter and it’s like a warm hug for each of your taste buds, you get the bread and yogurt sauce included and it’s soft and tasty and the sauce is sightly tangy and on point) 2.

Many locations are open late so you can enjoy this amazing food after having too many drinks. The N st NW DC location in particular is a 1 minute walk from DuPont Circle and Kramer Books but parking near there is a b*tch (to my driving compadres). They are open late and I’ve had more than a few nights at Big Hunt that finish up with a wonderful taste of Persia...

I recently placed a large catering order for work and the staff executed it to perfection. I ordered 2 large corporate trays and stopped by early to check in. They had everything ready on time. The staff was kind enough to help me load everything in the car. I've always been a fan of their lamb kabobs, Moby's gyro and the kubideh. As for the event the salads, sauces and meats were prepared exactly how we wanted it. Portion wise they were reasonable and so were the prices. Highly recommend this location if you want to stop by for lunch/ dinner or have any catered events. While I was here they had plenty of large orders as well. This location is kept really clean and managed very well. They have a great Level Up rewards program. Parking here is really is with street and...
