Part of the Moby Dick House of Kabob chain — see all 39 locationsMoby Dick House of Kabob, a beloved chain in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, has been serving authentic Persian cuisine since 1989. Founded by the late Mike Daryoush, the restaurant has grown from a single location into a regional favorite, known for its fresh kabobs, warm pita bread, and commitment to quality.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From the management: 'All of our meats with the exception of our gyro are certified Halal, indicating it was humanely processed and cleanly handled as prescribed by Islamic tradition and law.'
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
Dropped by here and asked if food was halal. Was told nothing is halal. We ended up going to Cheesecake Factory down the street.
It's not halal, I called the numbers, asked anything Halal or Zabihah, the guy said nothing!
We went to Silver Spring branch tonight. Food was very tasty and very generious serving. Great Iranian (Persian)taste. We tried Gyro, Lamb Kabob, Chicken Kabob with bread (cooked in clay oven)and Humus and bread (Naan) and all was to die for. Free parking is in the near by parking garage. They do take credit cards. Upscale Cafe.
Nothing Halal. On my last week Lamb I confirmed that lamb is no longer Halal. They have even removed the halal sign from menu, which was there earlier.
I just found out today that they stoped serving Halal meat. Such a shame. Will have to look for another place for lunch inshaala.
Incredibly cheap "fast-food" like kebab place. Unfortunately only Lamb is Halal (double-check before ordering) but it's worth it, especially if you work or live near by (they have a few locations). Try their Lamb Souvlaki - good size wrap with lamb kebab for only 5 dollars.
We always loved Moby Dick food, and it's our frequent choice for catering. We were very disappointed by the customer service last week at the Bethesda location, though. Our fruit platters were cancelled on the morning of our event. Our large catering order (40 people), placed a few days in advance, for 2:30pm pick-up was not ready - the restaurant was not busy, personnel didn't look rushed at all, but nobody showed personal attention. We had to wait 25 min (double-parked for a large catering order) and later discovered that the salad dressing and tahini sauce were missing. It is a one-time experience, but I am not sure we will be ordering again from this location.
