Amoo's Restaurant

"The DMV area is full with persian restaurants. Amoo’s is definitely one of those that deserve visiting more than once. I came with a friend lately on a cold November night. The coziness of the place together with the friendly staff gave me a feeling of warmth. The wine menu added to this warmth. The food was great as we had the barg soltani and the ghormeh sabzi stew. Will definitely come back to this place"

"Our second visit to this restaurant after a number of years and unfortunately we feel like the flavors are not what they used to be. We ordered a good variety of dishes and even though everything was ok, nothing met our expectations considering how popular and well established this place is. We had the gheymeh, most- o-hiar, koobideh kabob, lamb shank, and fesenjoon. I guess every dish resembles homemade cooking but when you go to a restaurant you expect that extra touch that makes it special. The Persian ice cream was delicious though, very creamy with lots of crushed pistachios. Also, the service and the portions deserve a separate mention as they are excellent."

"Kabobs are excellent, served with rice and a tomato. They charge for extra sauce or bread which is disappointing given the price point of the entrees (they don’t come with sauce). The apps were disappointing, the eggplant is supposed to come with thickened yogurt but instead looked like a very watered down yogurt and the cinnamon flavor is strong. Saffron ice cream was delicious"
