Maydan Washington Reviews
Amazing ambience and food! We finally managed to try out
Amazing ambience and food! We finally managed to try out this spot after hearing lots of friends rave about it. Came here for our first year wedding anniversary and celebrated my job offer as well. Tried the tawle experience and we were stuffed to th
In short, this place just isn't worth the price.
Menu items are expensive, portions run small, and there's an obligatory 20 % service fee. The mushrooms? Outstanding... earthy, rich, and perfectly seasoned. Everything else felt like any other Mediterranean spot, only with less on the plate. At
A mid-eastern jewel in D.C
From the moment you arrived until you leave Maydan embrace you in a mid-eastern atmosphere. The food and service is exquisite.

I took wifey out for her birthday and wanted to try out Maydan because of its Michelin Star rating. Very cozy, intimate and dark inside. You may want to consider bringing your reading glasses and using your cell phone light if you have trouble readin

I wanted to write this review while it's fresh in my memory bank. When booking if you prefer a more swanky, cool, hipster dining experience do Medina when making your reservation. If you prefer a more warm, cultured atmosphere where you are able
Incredible foods for a celebration dinner.
We did the set menu since it was a large group and there was so much delicious food! Plenty of leftovers to take back so it really felt like you were paying for two meals haha. The service was excellent; our first ribeye was slightly overcooked and

This place is just hands down one of the best DC has to offer. I've never had a dish that wasn't absolutely delicious! I cannot say enough about how delicious the lamb shoulder was.

To start on a positive note, the service was very good, and the food was enjoyable, but for me, the place was too noisy and too dark. This is senior-citizen perspective, and if you have better ears and eyes, you won't face these issues. We sat

We had an excellent dining experience! My husband and I came for date night. The decor gave me that Riad vibe and old Moroccan decor. The food was prepared well and flavorful and service was attentive with good recommendations too. Hummus- creamy an

Been dying to try this restaurant for a couple years, due to all the accolades. It did not disappoint. While Bazaar Meats in Vegas is still my number 1 seed, Maydan comes in at a strong #2 and is without a doubt the best veggie meal I've ever

My fiancée has raved about Maydan many times, and I can't blame him; the food is indeed delicious! We went there for my birthday. The fish and salad were my favorites. I highly recommend Maydan; the staff were amazing, and the décor was beauti
Service horrible, food great.
As soon as walked in, there wasn't a comfort feeling that we welcomed. Finally had someone escort us to our table, he didn't say follow me, just took off. He stopped at the stairs to talk to another server and than proceeded to go up. Didn&
Early Valentine's
We made reservations at Resy. We asked for a table downstairs. We went there. The host is so nice. We were there at 5:15pm. We got the table downstairs as we requested. It was a nice comer table. The lady came to greet us. Give us the information and
Great food, unpleasant ambience
The reviews that precede extol the food, and with good reason. I'll let other enthusiasts rave and and I'll second their opinions — about the food. However: We will not be returning to Maydan nor will we be recommending it to friends. I
Don't be fooled by a Michelin star and interior design.
I moved to D.C. in September and had been itching to eat at Maydan for months. I was thrilled to secure a reservation for a best friend reunion dinner at 8:00 PM on a Wednesday. After hearing so much hype, I expected to become a regular customer, but
Great food
Finally came here after lots of hype from friends. We did the towle experience (basically a tasting menu) and were presented with so many dishes. The food was great! So many vegetarian dishes which were all very flavorful. We chose the ribeye as our
Good food and great atmosphere but very expensive.
Our son managed to book a table for us when we visited from the UK. The place is quite hard to get a reservation for and is well reviewed thanks to its Michelin star. The place is down an alley and there is no signing outside, just a big blue door.
When you want an overall beautiful experience, come to Maydān!
I enjoyed the most fabulous wine dinner with the guests and staff of Maydān. Everything from the warm greeting upon arrival, to the professionalism of every member of the staff, to the delicious Middle Eastern assortment of courses and beautifull
Top Class Food and Service
Whenever i visit DC this is a must stop. Just does not stop disapointing and this time one of our dishes was delayed inordinately ( suspect order was nor placed)and the manager comped without even asking. This is service. The food - cabbage grilled ,
First class Middle East food
I’ve visited most Middle East and North African countries. I have never eaten there as good food as they serve in Maydan. Restaurant is located at the end of an alley. No name on the door. It looks very nice inside. Athmospehe is very relaxed. Tast
20% extra ‘non tip’ spoilt the experience!!!
The food and service was very good but it is crazy that they add 20% which is not a tip. In my view it is just not right and if they want to charge 20% more they should add it to the prices. It’s a shame because this spoilt what had been a very go
My second time here and I won't be back.
Server did not explain how the menu works I asked for one Tawle since I was here for New Year's Eve I had the Tawle experience but for my friend was her first time. We order one Tawle with branzino as a main course. I wanted to try the lamb shoulder

Amazing food and atmosphere, highly recommend going if you can get in! The bar is a great option if you can't make a reservation, we just walked in on a random week day and got seats at the bar after only a few minutes of waiting. Lamb shoulder and k
This is hands down my favorite restaurant in DC.
Like this is the one spot I will recommend everyone to go to and I will take my out of state visitors to. It is just that good. Food: 12/10, food is excellent. The star of the night was the Spring Hummus and the Charred Zucchini. I still dream about
Maydan has really tasty food.
HOWEVER- I don't see anyone in these reviews speaking about the 20% service charge they add to bills that is NOT counted as a tip towards your server. I found on Reddit that last year it was 8%- now it is 20%??? That literally feels illegal. I enjoye
What a phenomenal experience.
From beginning to end everything was delicious for my wife's birthday. Can't wait to return when we're back in dc.
Such a great experience.
Awesome ambience, great service and the food was out of this world! We got the tasting menu. The kids got the chicken kabob, lamb kabob and shrimp kabob and all were good. The appetizers, second dish and dessert were to die for. I got the rib eye and
Good food and ambiance.
Tip: choose your own adventure, no need to do the set menu if you are looking for a unique experience
One of the top restaurants in DC.
Very hard to find because it's literally in an alley with secret door. We were first to arrive at restaurant about 10 minutes early and was told to wait. Promptly at 5 we opened the door again and the staff were just standing there - weird! They esco

I've never had a bad meal here.
I don't even like dessert and loved their pavlova with lebneh and pomegranate. Obsessed with the roasted beet spread. Great venue. Beautifully served dishes.
Mandatory 20% which was not the tip!!!
Had a wonderful meal with great service but was shocked when the bill came and was noted that a mandatory 20% “not tip or gratuity”!!!!! So now we are at a 40% over and above the bill? That is insane!!!! Not sure how you justify this non gratui

Been there first when it opened a few years ago, the food was exceptionally good. Been there today and I'm very disappointed. The food was less than average. Poor meat quality. Tasteless Toum sauce. Too bad for a Michelin star restaurant. I hope the
One word.
Amazing! Staff was on point, atmosphere was warm and inviting, and food was amazing
Some of the best food we've ever had.
The service was so quick and everyone was friendly and provided wonderful insight to the food. We ordered the tawle menu and from the get go each dip and spread was perfect. We both loved the cheese dish and the chicken. Dessert was a nice light fini

Before I get into what an incredible meal and dining
Before I get into what an incredible meal and dining experience, my two cons. One, I booked this meal maybe 3 weeks prior to going and the Tawle experience was listed at $75. When we got there we were told it was $85. I didn't bring it up cause I wan
A top 5 dining experience.
The food is expertly prepared. It is middle-eastern fare served family style in four courses. Our server, Eli, was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We sat outside in a covered well heated tent that was cozy and warm. Out

Top quality ambience, service and food
Wonderful experience. It all begins with a challenge to find the location. Once found it definitely a must visit and repeat. We had no reservation but the warm hostess found a way and seated us at the bar. At the bar dorothy was excellent - non intru
Great food and ambiance
When you walk in you know it’s going to be delicious. The air smells of delicious food and the fire grill in the middle of the restaurant is impressive looking. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Both were great. Highly recommend this pat
Great find
Took us a while to find the restaurant hidden down a side street. Restaurant has main cooking area on right, with a few outdoor tables on street and another area indoors on the left which was where we were seated. Food wise - we had the fixed menu o
Connect with users posting reservations for Maydan Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Maydan Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Maydan Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Maydan Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Maydan Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Maydan Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
