Yekta Kabobi RestaurantGood first visitThis was our first time at this restaurant and we loved it--there were six of us. Starters kashke bademjan and dolmeh are the tastiest. Main dishes are standard Iranian fare but of a higher quality. All this is complemented with a fairly good selection of beer and wine.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMslightly disappointedThe food was different, but average. The room was well decorated, but as soon as it filled up it was very difficult to converse. Sorry to see no liquor license, and they refused to pour a half ounce taste of a wine to see if I would like it. Unusual to see that these days, if the wine is available by the glass, as this one was. A good place to go for something different if you live near there.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMYekta in number onethis is among the best Persian restaurants in the area. And the market next door let's you pick up goodies to take home. Relaxed atmosphere, authentic Persian dishes, and great friendly service.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeAfter the appetizer (Kizartma) I wanted to order the entire menu. Had the Kabob trio with yogurt sauce and side of grilled veggies. I wish it was an endless plate it was that good. Nice place for being in a strip mall. This place should be in NYC or LA but I am glad it's where it is so I can go every time I am here for work.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went to this restaurantWe went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the someone at the local BMW dealership. Excellent service, modest wine list, great appetizers. The main course and vegetables were less stellar but good nonetheless. I would go again, and recommend it.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best and most authenticThe best and most authentic Persian Restuarant in the DC area.4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant itself is beautiful.The restaurant itself is beautiful. I had asked that onions be left out of my salad. A little while later, the waiter came back and told me that my kabob had onions and was that OK - it was, but I appreciated his concern. Unfortunately, I live in Virginia (30 miles away), or I would be a regular at this restaurant. I apologize for not letting the restaurant know about our Open Table reservation. Most tables were empty when we arrived, so I didn't think it was necessary. My mistake.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMCelebrated birthday with aCelebrated birthday with a large party of 14 people and it was the first time at the restaurant for all of us. Started off with an assortment of hummus, eggplant dip, yogurt dip, grape leaves, and shirazi salad, which was served with warm pita and flat tortilla-like bread. Everyone got some sort of grilled kabob (veggie, beef, chicken, salmon) for their entrees. All the meats were very tender and we raved throughout the night about how deliciousness of the food. The service was excellent and we will all definitely be returning for one of the best Persian food in the DMV area.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great service,Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Who could ask for anything more3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Kabobs, Reasonable PricesOur dining experience was excellent. Appetizers were very good - recommend the eggplant and dolmehs. We had lamb, chicken and steak kabobs. The lamb and chicken were very tender and flavorful. The steak was not quite as tender, but still good. The wine (I enjoyed the house red) and beer list are pretty good. The service was excellent. Food was served in a timely manner, the staff were very pleasnt and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMA Happy Find!Beautifully decorative Persian restaurant, offering well-preapred kebab platters along with other more unfamiliar (to me) but interesting dishes...Reasonably priced.
