Maman Joon just made its grand debut with a menu of fresh Mediterranean fare featuring generations’ worth of family recipes. Early reviews suggest the new eatery will be around for a long time. They rave about the quality of the food, from the freshly baked bread to the house-made yogurt dips.
But it’s clear that the signature kabobs are really the menu standout. The skewers come loaded with beef, lamb, chicken, and seafood, so take your pick. If you prefer red meat, the barg kabob is for you. It’s packed with chunks of carefully seared filet mignon. If you’re craving seafood, order the salmon kabob infused with saffron. Chicken and beef lovers should opt for the koobideh kabob. It comes with either meat, finely ground and mixed with minced onions, then shaped into chunks and perfectly grilled. Complement your chosen skewers with side dishes such as the cannellini bean salad, the vegan eggplant stew, or the pickled turnips and beets. And for dessert devour a piece of flaky baklava or a scoop of saffron ice cream dusted with crushed pistachios.
