🧆 Maydan

• A hidden gem offering Middle Eastern cuisine cooked over an open flame. This is my number one favorite restaurant in DC. I will warn you that it is pricey, however, worth the price and the experience.
• Try the Tawle menu. It lets you sample a bit of everything!
• Reservations are typically required, but check for bar seats or join the waitlist.
• Their cocktails are also top-notch.
