Last April we let you know that local restaurant group Moby Dick House of Kabob signed on to open a new restaurant in Potomac’s Cabin John Village (11325 Seven locks Road Suite 180, Potomac MD 20854). The new location is adjacent to Colony Grill on the back side of the shopping center and opened last month. Now, the restaurant will be holding a grand opening celebration on Monday, April 28th, offering 25% off all in-store orders.

Bring your friends, family, or come by yourself – we can’t wait to celebrate with you 11325 Seven Locks Rd Suite 180, Potomac, MD 20854
The existing Potomac location is 4.5 miles away in the Potomac Promenade shopping center off of Falls Rd. The new Cabin John Village location will not impact the current Potomac location. “From our slow-braised stews to our flame-grilled Persian kabobs, fresh pita, and attentive customer service, Moby Dick House of Kabob is based on quality, taste, reputation, and relationships.”
Founder Mike Daryoush emigrated to the United States from Iran in 1975. He opened a small sandwich shop in 1987 in Bethesda, Maryland, serving a few Middle Eastern dishes. He changed to a Persian menu and added a clay oven in 1989. The name references one of the biggest kabob joints in Tehran, which was right near the American Embassy during the Shah’s time. It was called Moby Dick, apparently because the owner really liked the book. Daryoush passed away on May 9, 2019, only a week after the chain’s 30th anniversary.
