Maman Joon, a restaurant offering Persian cuisine, is coming to 15780 Shady Grove Rd in Gaithersburg, according to commercial real estate company KLNB. It will be located in the space previously occupied by Pieology Pizzeria in the 270 Center, which is also home to Home Depot and Amazon Fresh.
Maman Joon’s menu features a variety of kabobs, sandwiches, soups, salads, platters, desserts, and other Persian specialties. The chain, which opened a location alongside sister restaurant Z-Burger at 18100 Georgia Avenue in Olney in 2023, also has locations in Tenleytown, McLean, and Tyson’s Corner.
We will provide an update when additional information becomes available.
Per Maman Joon, “We take pride in creating authentic Persian food that reflects our heritage. Our ingredients are always fresh, most of our spices come from Iran, and our menu is lovingly prepared using our treasured family recipes. As for the restaurant’s name, the word Maman means “mom” and the word Joon means “soul, spirit of life.” Used in a modern day to mean “dear”, as a gesture of close kinship and hospitality. So all together Maman Joon, means DEAR MOM! Food is the language through which mom best knows.”
