The latest in Mama Joon’s restaurant/carryout chain is opening at 404 8th Street, Barracks Row, “soon.” The former Sweet Lobby is being renovated for Persian carryout.
From the Maman Joon website: “We take pride in creating authentic Persian food that reflects our heritage. Our ingredients are always fresh, most of our spices come from Iran, and our menu is lovingly prepared using our treasured family recipes.”
Maman Joon translates to “Dear Mom” – a familiar and respectful form of address in Farsi..
This will be the sixth outlet for the chain, owned by Peter Tabibian and Kevin Ejtemai. The other locations are in Columbia Heights, Tenleytown, Mclean, Tyson’s Corner, and Olney.
