Any recommendations (other than Moby Dick!!)? Fri Jan 05 02:25:13 -0800 2007 64219 maxsony 1 2155901 Persian food in the DC are at a low point right now. But since you are looking for kabobs, you should be happy with what you find. Many kabob places will offer maybe one stew per day as a special. I do not recall seeing chicken koobideh anywhere. Probably the best place overall is Shamshirry in Tysons Corner, which is kabobs plus rice dishes, mast-o-khir, torshi, badenjan, doogh. This place has a large Iranian following. Weekend lunches are packed with families. Fri Jan 05 15:21:38 -0800 2007 2154889 10156 Steve 1 2156144 Shamshiry is excellent. For a less upscale place, I like Yekta Kabob in Rockville.
