Mahshad Modern Persian Kitchen in King Farm Has Closed
We spoke with ownership who confirmed to us that Mahshad Modern Persian Kitchen at 404 King Farm Blvd in Rockville has permanently closed.
It has been over a year and a half since we let you know that True Food Kitchen would be taking over the old Joe’s Crab Shack location in Rio (221 Rio Blvd Ste 0221, Gaithersburg, MD)
At the end of the summer the restaurant had made progress with the exterior, but the interior had a lot of work left to go. There hasn’t been any progress since then (as seen in the photos below).
