Yekta Kabob Counter

Best kabobs in town. I have been going here for over 20 years. First when it was a hole in a wall, then the restaurant and now the pick up counter. Same great food. Chicken, steak, ground beef, lamb. The shirazi salad is the best. Sometimes we just get a large size one and eat it with other food at home.

Although the grocery store is small, it has just about everything you when food shopping. The prices are reasonable, taking in consideration the fact that there are not many Persian groceries in the area. I like the fact that veggies and fruits are always fresh. They also have great collection of middle eastern desserts.

Persian Kabobi restaurant. Very good ambience. It is beyond an eatery unlike other middle eastern or indian restaurants. I cannot say it is 100% authentic but very tasty. Chicken and Salmon kabobs are great! Barg is not the same as you find in an Iranian restaurants but it tastes very good. For two, the bill is about $50-$60. You don’t regret, go for it!

Every time we come to the Rockville / Bethesda area, we almost always stop by Yekta Kabobi restaurant for lunch or dinner. This Persian restaurant is one of our most favorite restaurants anywhere. It feels comfortable and elegant, the service is excellent, and their food is delicious and reasonable. We usually visit here for lunch, and for that, we typically order the following dishes: Starter: Kashke Bademjan (Fried Eggplant with Fermented Whey, Onions and Mint) Sandwich: Zaban (Seasoned Beef Tongue) Lunch Special: Chenjeh (Marinated Certified Angus Beef® Strip Loin Shish Kabob) Dessert: Bastanee (Saffron Ice Cream with Rosewater and Pistachios) We have never tasted something like Kashke Bademjan (Eggplant Spread) anywhere else, and it's addictive. Bastanee (Saffron Ice Cream) is simply amazing. All other dishes we have tried are excellent, especially Lamb Kabobs. A bonus: There is a Persian grocery store next to the restaurant. It is so fun to explore this store.

The food here is good and the decor is really authentic. Service was great and we enjoyed the overall experience. The meats are the strong side of Yekta with flavorful and fresh options to go around. We will be back
