Came here for my pre-birthday dinner and had a great experience. We sat outside on the deck: Though…read morethe evening turned cool on us, the clear roll-down walls and heat lamps kept the outdoor seating comfortable, even so that I had to take off my jacket at one point during dinner. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday night, drinks and food came out quickly, and our server was attentive throughout the evening. We ordered several tapas, but the standouts were definitely the tzatziki dip, the whipped goat cheese dip, and the patatas bravas, which were crispy, flavorful, and reminiscent of some I've had while vacationing in Spain. The tuna tartare was also surprisingly good, especially with the added crunch from the breadcrumbs. Oh, and make sure you order extra pita because the warm, fluffy bread disappears fast, especially if you use it as a dipping tool for the tuna tartare! The waterfront view of the Potomac, with National Harbor in the distance, really makes this place special. Great atmosphere, great food, and definitely worth a visit!

Food was really good, I wasn't blown away but I did like it, it was fresh and presented very beautifully, the eggplant mezze was good and the poached apricot dessert was also quite good-needed more apricot for the amount of yogurt though. The service was excellent, everyone who works there was very pleasant, and they did separate the checks for our group which was really convenient. I would definitely go back. Downsides are it's a bit pricey and the parking is a challenge.

We had a reservation to make sure we got a table, and the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. The only downside was that after being seated outside, we felt a little forgotten for the first 30 minutes or so. No one came by with water or to check in, and it seemed like the staff may not have realized a new table had been seated until we flagged down the outside host. There were also swarm of flies hovering around the outdoor tables, which another table pointed out and then we started noticing too. Aside from that, the experience was good overall. The inside dining area definitely had a dressier vibe compared to the patio seating, and once we were helped, the food made up for the slow start.

Maydan was one of the most anticipated dining experiences for my partner and I on our DC trip and…read moreit was even better than I expected. Gorgeous restaurant centered around a giant hearth, the heart and soul of the space where much of the food is cooked. We went with two friends and opted to do ala carte, and ordered a bunch of items to share. - Muhammara & hummus spreads were both phenomenal - creamy, delicious goodness served with piping hot, generous portions of freshly made pita bread. - Halloumi with a nutty honey glaze - perfection - Sweet Potato - soft and just melts in your mouth - Mushrooms - super unique preparation, definitely worth a try. Very delicious. We also ordered every kabob on the menu (shrimp, scallop, chicken and lamb). The shrimp and chicken kabobs were excellent - charred to perfection and bursting with flavor. Paired with zhoug sauce, I was in heaven. Do not miss these! Scallop and lamb kabobs were just okay. Incredible service, beautiful ambiance, and a memorable meal that will stay with me. Grateful to have experienced Maydan!

Visiting the DMV area to see a show at The Wharf, staying in a hotel nearby this place and wow, glad I stopped in. More impressed by how everything was still mad fresh even with ordering at 11:30pm. (They close at 12am.) Service was smooth, mans who took my order helped me and wifey navigate the menu in a firm but friendly way. Clean spot. Tidy drink frig. And they had those cold Arizonas on deck. I had the Jerk Chicken Platter. Wife had the Chicken platter no onions. Fries and of course a Fruit Punch Arizona. The jerk chicken was on point. Not too spicy not bland. Not necessarily Jamaican jerk but still valid. Chicken was cooked perfectly tho. Fries are just fries nothing special there. I'd give this spot a very solid 4.9 Took off one point for those fries. Bangin! Would definitely make my way back here for lunch next time I'm in town.

This is definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for quality flavor and value for your money…read more We usually do a mixed platter with chicken and lamb, lettuce tomato onion, and sauces on the side. Omar's signature and white are our favorites, but know that you can order unlimited sauces. "Don't be shy" they say. Flavors are balanced, and the portion size is generous. For those with a medium sized appetite, a platter could last you two meals. Service is pretty quick, but know if there is a line or mobile orders, you could be waiting between 5-10 minutes. Parking is limited and seating is only outdoors. It's nice to eat outside when the weather is right - they have string lights! They're also open until 1am which is nice if you need a late night option (most places around here close at 9 or 10pm). I recommend giving Omar's a try!
