About Moby Dick
Mike Daryoush founder of this establishment opened the first restaurant in 1989. It was not a quick success. At first, they struggled because they use fresh, high quality ingredients at a very price.
They currently have 24 locations. They were the 2018 RAMMY award winners and they won the favorite fast bites of the year voted by the Association of Metropolitan Washington.
Moby Dick Review
They have a fast service ambiance somewhere between casual dining and fast food but with a healthy spin. They have indoor seating available and do take out.
They offer a fresh, natural taste utilizing a lot of rice and hummus. They use olive oil to add flavor to their creative dishes. A wide range of traditional Mediterranean flavors.
They have a wide range of items on their menu and offer a fair amount of gluten free alternatives. Their menu includes traditional Mediterranean sides, salads, sandwiches, veggies, and desserts.
The service has received many positive reviews on social media sites, such as Yelp. They typically don’t have a wait time but occasionally, usually during the lunch rush, they have a short wait.
