Now Serving


It's official: Moby Dick House of Kabob is open for business.

The Middle Eastern eatery occupies the Ellsworth Drive storefront left vacant by Phillips Famous Seafood. A fresh coat of olive paint and auburn wood tables give the joint a warm feeling.

Its L-shaped, stainless steel countertop and hovering menu are cold leftovers from the location's Phillips Seafood days. However, the low room divider that once separated the serving line from the rest of the dining room is gone, thankfully.

No word yet on whether the food's any good. Daily Penguin reporters are en route to the scene.

Today's lunch special is Ghormeh Sabzi, described as chunks of braised beef served with basmati rice. For more info, check out their online menu.

Wow, Moby Dick should do great in Silver Spring. It is well established in Bethesda and DC. Used to eat there a lot when I worked in Bethesda and DC some years ago. Our whole office used to order carryout from there at least once a week. They will be giving the Lebanese Taverna a run for their money.

It's now between Lebanese Taverna and Moby Dick for quick, tasty food-- and Taste of Jerusalem for a more traditional sit down meal. Yummmm.
