WARNING: this is not a sit down restaurant! It is take-out ONLY!! The google maps page is super misleading and it still looks like there is a sit down restaurant here. After driving 40 mins with family I was extremely annoyed to learn it was basically a glorified food truck.
There needs to be a clear “takeout only” on google maps and the old pictures of dining need to be removed. Kabob “counter” means nothing. What is a counter? Google labels it as a “restaurant” and there are 50 pictures of Persian food in nice plates — extremely misleading.
Persian food is terrible as takeout. Probably the worst cuisine to eat as takeout. Gets cold fast and smells terrible. There is no excuse to not bring back sit down service after Covid. This is an embarrassment to Persian culture.
The grocery store is fine, but it is separate than this “counter”. Do yourself a favor, go to Tyson’s corner or DC for way better Persian food.
I very often use Yekta for my dinner parties. The food is consistently delicious and they are very accommodating regarding how I like to serve my food. It is exactly the way I want it. I really can’t say enough nice things about Yekta. I can’t rate the atmosphere as it is carry out only. I always speak to the person in charge of catering. I tell them how I like my salad and they make it exactly as I ask for. The kabobs are always fresh and delicious. I always tell them not to give me too much rice because I always end up with too much rice left over. The guy in charge always gives me the right amount.
Thank you for the delicious food.
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.
Good food, service is very slow, with no warning. We ordered, shopped and came back to hear they have not even put our order in. All in all, it is a very long wait.
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
Ate lunch here with coworkers.t's more expensive than your average kabob place but the quality of the food and the services is great. There is also a market attached. Spent about 30 usd.
