Yekta
Towards the end of my work week last week sometime while working in Rockville, Maryland I decided to pop into Yekta, a restaurant specializing in kabob and other fine Persian dishes. It was a good decision too. Normally I would have tried the koobideh (skewered lean ground beef) or kabob-e barg (flattened strips of marinated beef), but since I'm shying away from red meat temporarily I went for the white meat. The chicken kabob was well done. From time to time I find chicken can just be a little too boring for my tastes, but the cooks seasoned this to perfection. I was impressed and the serving was of a decent size which included rice, tomato, and bread. Only thing that didn't seem to impress me or the person who referred me to the spot were the prices. For kabob it seemed as though they could have lowered the cost by a buck or two, but a meal at Yekta won't send you into debt either so give it a try!Yekta is located at 1488 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852.

I'd never heard of Yekta, thanks! Next time you are in the DC area, you should try Moby Dick. It's probably the most popular with the Persian community here. It's a generous portion of kabob with rice, tomato, yogurt, and bread for about 6-8 bucks. Not too shabby!

Merci Pontia!
I wish I had known about it while I was staying there. I'll have to give it a taste test on my next DC trip. BTW..nice Iran Flickr photos.
