Maydan, a truly unique dinning experience. You feel among friends the minute you enter. You are instantly captivated by a rich and sensual atmosphere, from the fire pit, hanging cured meats, the aromas, the music, the cocktails, the wines, the staff, all culminating in a display of succulent dishes. I waited to write a review until my third visit, it felt too good to be true at first, only to get better every time. I can't wait to return. A gem of a place.

Had an absolutely amazing experience at Maydan last evening. We walked in but were able to find seats at the bar fairly quickly. The drinks (specially the drink Dead Sea) was amazing!! The food was fresh. Our bartender- Drew was lovely too. He gave us good recommendations for what to try. We will definitely be back at Maydan often

What a fantastic experience. Mayden was the full package. Ambiance, service, food and drinks were all top notch. If I could, I would try everything on the menu. A surprise highlight was the cabbage! One thing to note, since there is an open flame, it can get toasty in there. Dress appropriately.

Went for my birthday and the food was delicious. Loved the ambience, though I would encourage you to get there early enough to find seating. A nice hidden gem for sure.

Questions & Answers

A friend recently made a reservation and she was immediately notified that her party had to be done within an hour and 45 minutes of the reservation. Has anyone else experienced this with Maydan? Makes it hard to enjoy when you're on countdown clock

I have only done walk in (3 times) and we did get a hard 2 hour cutoff. This is not difficult to do and never impacted enjoyment of the meal. Service is great and the food is well worth it. You would regret missing it. Also, get all the dipping sauces for the bread, trust me

I always find parking on florida or 14th street but I’m there in the evening. Never had a prob after 530/6p. I would search to see how far nearest parking garage is just in case to be safe. It’ll be worth it. Enjoy

How much was the Tawle or family pre fix menu?

Megan Gold | May 4, 2022
Jonathan Grant | May 4, 2022

When making a reservation for the Tawle experience, it cites that it is $75/person, excluding beverages, tax, and gratuity. If you would like, Maydan also takes walk-ins which allows you to order a la carte from the menu. Arriving right when they open at 5 has been my best luck for scoring a seat at the bar. Enjoy!

They have tents outside, no walls, just covers, cold and not fun at all. The food comes out cold. A hard pass.

How do we contact the maitre d of Maydan for early evening on Dec 16, 2019? We had a fabulous UBER experience back to our hotel & wished to personally thank him via card, text, email, etc. We, however, failed to get his name. Thank you!!

You should contact the restaurant directly and tell them that you wanted to thank him but neglected to get his name. They should be able to help.

There is not not much in term of Vegetarian options in there main / entree section right?

Priyesh Patel | Oct 2, 2019
Aurélie Shapiro | Oct 2, 2019

There are 2 fish dishes, and it's more of a shared mezze dish place anyway, with only a few mains. More than half the menu is small plates to share which are veggie and totally delicious.

How good are the Vegetarian options here?

Priyesh Patel | Oct 2, 2019
Jessica Baptista | Oct 2, 2019

There are TONS of veggie options. You will not be disappointed.

How long are wait times usually without a reservation? Would it be best to arrive right at 5pm? Or would I be fine putting my name in at 5:30ish?

Ted Gendron | Oct 2, 2018
J G | Oct 2, 2018

You may wait up to 1 hr. for a seat at the bar if you arrive at 5:30. If you're in line before the 5 o'clock open, you'll have your choice of bar seats. The resv. system opens @ midnight 4 weeks ahead & is your best option if you can plan that far in advance.

It is impossible to make reservations. Should I just show up and see what happens?

Indira Villegoureix | Oct 2, 2018
Kurt Hamilton | Oct 2, 2018

Reservations are recommended, but 9 of 10 walk-ins will have to dine at the bar. Don't despair though, the service is just as good and of course the food is the same.

Hi . Do I have to make a reservation before I visit the restaurant .

mudher alqaysi | Oct 2, 2018
John Richardson | Oct 2, 2018

You should try and make a reservation. Otherwise you will be jocking for seats at the bar or hoping someone with a reservation doesnt show up.
