Maydan

This is by far the best restaurant I ever ate at. We ordered the Tawle (it was 2 of us and we had leftovers for a few days). Anything you order will be absolutely amazing, from the hummus to the dates to the lamb shoulder (which is worth the extra money because I dream about the meat).

The entrance is inside the lane, turn right on the corner of that block and you’ll see a delicate wooden door on your right. I ordered the tasting menu and definitely recommend it with the drinks. Pleasant place for an amazing dinner.

Waited two weeks for a reservation, and it was totally worth it. We had the Tawle menu with the Branzino for the main dish and everything was delicious.

It’s definitely a lot of food, so go hungry and with a group.

The staff and atmosphere also makes this place very special. It’s so comforting and everyone makes you feel like part of the family vs just a quick dining customer.

Highly recommend!

Beautiful food. Cozy atmosphere. The food is cooked over an open fire and it gives such a great flavor. There wasn’t something I ate that I didn’t like. The serve team were responsive and available, they kept our naan plate full. You definitely do not leave hungry. Depending on what you get, 3-4 dishes per person should be enough.

A super cute and traditional Lebanese restaurant in town. DC is well known for its diverse traditional cuisines, and this place bring everything on the table to represent their culture. There were so many foods on the table, so don’t eat too much bread. Try every pieces by itself first then try everything together in one bite. All the dishes are healthy. However, it is pricy so if you don’t want the Lebanese experience it would be less expensive.

Maydan in Washington D.C. is a culinary gem that transports you to the vibrant flavors of the Arab world. The menu, inspired by Arabic cuisine, offers an array of mezze-style appetizers that are simply divine. The star of the show is undoubtedly the lamb shoulder, a dish that left me speechless. The tender and succulent meat, infused with aromatic spices, was a true delight for the senses. Each bite was a journey of flavors, taking me on a culinary adventure. The ambiance of Maydan is equally enchanting, with its warm and inviting atmosphere that immerses you in an industrial -loud & incredible music- Middle Eastern oasis. The attentive staff further enhances the experience, providing excellent service with their knowledge and passion. Maydan is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an exceptional Arabic dining experience in the heart of D.C.

Delicious food and heartwarming atmosphere. My friend and I came in and enjoyed the Tawle Menu with the "do you trust us" wine pairing. It was great handing of the keys, and just enjoy the journey the food and wine took us on. Franz was the best server, and really added to the experience for us. Can't wait to come back!
