Chicken Kabob
Eliza O.

This was my favorite spot in DC. I came here three times while I was visiting. The food is phenomenal. I had the chicken kabob platter and my boyfriend got the gyro sandwich. Both were really good, but the chicken kabob platter was more filling and the variety on the plate was awesome. When I come back, I'll definitely be visiting again.

This place was ok. I was disappointed the rice didn't have saffron in it and the chicken was a little dry. Food came out quickly though!

Since it's right across the street from my office, I go here for my quick dinner breaks. The gyro wraps are about $10-15, which I find as a decent deal, since they come with a couple of sauces and lentils and are filling. And the food comes out quickly, making it a great place if you're on a time crunch.

Naan

I hate to say it because it's quite unfortunate when a small restaurant that isn't a chain fails this miserably. I mean quite frankly there are no redeeming qualities. Naan was dry like cardboard the beef was legitimately inedible i mean it all around sucked and cost 35$ for a bowl naan and chick peas. Avoid like the plague, however hummus was good but that's hard to mess up!

Very good kabobs. The place is interestingly decorated with a bunch of buckets as a chandelier. You can order online or at a kiosk inside the restaurant, but trying to get gluten-free options requires ordering in person. Even then, it does not always seem they know what that means. Sometimes, I get the kabob without bread and others without the dressing on the salad, so you have to talk to them to ensure they get it right. But the reason to come here is the food, which is tasty. You can still get a full meal (a kebob comes with a salad, rice, and bread) for under $20.

Beef and Chicken Kabob platter with lentil soup
Weiting H.

This place has a small mom and pop shop vibe and the food is DELICIOUS. I came here during lunch on a Thursday and they got busy starting around 12:15pm. We waited a bit for our food but it tasted fresh and homemade so it was worth it! The bread was fluffy and hot. The beef was so tender and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. The only thing I didnt like was the lentil soup. It had a weird soapy after taste but not sure if it was just me. Otherwise, everything was amazing!

I like getting takeout from here when I don't feel like cooking. The plates are a bit pricey but I can usually make one plate last two meals so it's worth it to me. The kabobs taste great!

Gyro Platter
Sean R.

I ordered a Gyro Platter from Grill Kabob today and was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes. Felt like a lot of food for the cost, and my to-go order was ready for pickup in almost no time at all. The food travelled well and was packaged tightly to prevent any of the sauces from leaking. I was a little surprised that the white sauce included was just ranch, not for me but I'm sure some folks won't mind. The seating at the restaurant looked comfy so if I return I'll try eating in house.

Some of the best Afghan food I've ever had in the area! Met the owner and he was kind and informative about the menu. Service was outstanding and it was really clean and nice inside

This is actually my second time coming to this restaurant, and both times were absolutely…read morespectacular. The food is nothing but genius--fantastic concepts like their roasted carrots, soft, spicy outer textures with a simultaneously solid and rich core. Their hummus is delectable and thick, offering an appreciated simplistic flavor paired with everything served. Their nutty, sweet, warm halloumi, mezze tasting (various pickled veggies offering a cool addition and sometimes a kick), ribeye steak & chicken souvlaki blew me away. The steak was as good as it was last time (9.9/10), and the chicken souvlaki was soft, cooked to perfection served with a zingy garnish of pickled onions. For dessert, their chocolate spiced mousse was a run-of-the-mill chocolate mousse. It was good, but I wasn't getting much of the spice. The service at our time there has a funny backstory--reservations were accidentally made at their sister restaurant, Medina. However, due to it being a special occasion, George (shoutout) managed to find us a perfect seat on the second level, overlooking the inner workings of the exposed aesthetic of the restaurant. The ambiance was calm, smooth, dim-lit, and encompassed a primal, eclectic atmosphere at the same time. Nonetheless, Maydan is an incredible restaurant providing outstanding meals suitable for various diets (keto, vegan, etc.) with great and dutiful servers who bring together the shrouded, intimate atmosphere. Everything just works and time flies in there. Definitely worth a try!

The appetizer was dropped on my lap as the waitress cleared the plate. She didn't seem to care and said "slippery little things". $300 worth of food was delivered and not once were we asked how the food quality was. The problem is the $75 flat iron steak we ordered as medium came out as rare and was to the point it was hard to cut it was so chewy. Spoke to manager about the situation and his care meter seemed to be broken. It's a shame because ambiance and environment is great. The service was not.

I was very hungry that day, so hungry that I didn't even wait to take a picture for yelp. I ordered the appetizer sampler and the makloubeh. I think my friend ordered fattet jajj. Everything was delicious though I couldn't focus much on the food since I was catching up with my friend after a long time. After we finished the entrees, we ordered kunefe for dessert and it was amazing. A proper end to the meal. Then we heard live music coming out of the other hall and the owner was kind enough to let us sit wherever we wanted to listen to the performances. The staff of Nabiha is delightful and they made sure that me and my friend are well taken care of. More than a restaurant this felt like visiting a friend's home. 5/5 must try!

Nabiha is a family-owned restaurant connected to the other restaurant the family owns, El Secreto de Rosi, which is Peruvian cuisine. As a matter of fact, the menu has Nabihi dishes on one side and El Secreto dishes on the flip side. Our server was a lovely young woman who told us the restaurant was named after her grandmother. After we placed our orders, she took us around both restaurants to show us the wall art. One wide painting in El Secreto is quite naughty. I understand the restaurants have separate kitchens. Unfortunately, our server's service left something to be desired. She never checked on us during the meal, except for one time she came to refill water glasses but only refilled glasses of two of the four people at the table. That was kinda rude. Largely because of the service, I can only give three stars. They had a food runner who brought our food out that knew nothing about the food and was unable to tell us which dish was which. On the other hand, another gentleman who helped out was entirely professional, energetic and proactive. As far as ambience it was fine. If there was music playing, I didn't notice it. In other words, you could easily hold a conversation. So as far as the food? Pretty good, for the most part. As a matter of fact, the hummus was freakin' delicious! We all ordered the daily soup which was broth, onions, carrots and lentils. Three of us thought the soup was tasty, but picky me thought there was just too much cumin. We wanted to try the Mujaddara Freekeh, but they were out, so we went with the Fattet Jaj. Containing rice, yogurt and chicken thigh meat, it was delicious. However, the toasted pita chips atop the dish were scorched but they still sent the dish out anyway. The mildly seasoned ground beef Musakhan Wraps were very good. Our desserts, the Yafa Orange Walnut Cake and Knafeh Nabulsiyyeh were excellent. The Chicken Freekeh had pungent spices. Would we come back? Maybe, but prices are high.

The decor is open and airy and there's a large patio if you prefer to dine alfresco. We wanted a variety of items and began with Hummus, smoked beet salata and baba ghanoush. Followed by Crispy brussels afelia, Chicken shakshouka, Soujouk pide and shish taouk. For dessert we enjoyed Greek yogurt with apricots and olive oil cake with champagne. The presentation of all the entree's were plated professionally, tasted outstanding, and service from our waiter was on point. I highly recommend this restaurant by Jose Andres.

Whoa. Horrible outside host for outdoor seating and even worse experience with the indoor host…read morefor indoor seating -- this was not an okay experience at any level. Zero professionalism, no hospitality, and probably way too over their head with how popular this restaurant is for Middle Eastern cuisine. Completely not cool as to how they treat those who try to patronize their business. Note to management: we understand your establishment has great reviews but please don't take that for granted. Please train your staff to treat every single guest regardless of party size with respect, professionalism, and hospitality. Not mad about not being able to dine here because y'all were "fully booked" but more disappointed with how your outdoor and indoor hosts handled the messaging. P.S. There were plenty of tables left unoccupied for "7:30pm reservations" but it was already 8:00pm -- so I take it the grace period for reservations is 30+ minutes?!

We came to dinner not overly hungry, so we opted to do a bunch of cold and hot mezze plates - ended up ordering the baba ganoush, duck prosciutto (2 plates because we were so excited about it), salmon kibbeh nayah, tawook shish chicken kebab, and golden cauliflower. Overall, our picks were solid. The duck prosciutto had a nice crunch with the chip(?) underneath and very interesting, lovely salad base and vinaigrette. Can't go wrong with the golden cauliflower with its yummy sauce and pomegranate seeds. Salmon kibbeh was my least favorite but perhaps I'm just not used to the texture/taste of bulghur wheat.. the salmon itself was great tho! I've heard lots of good things about brunch so I would come back for that, and/or try the short ribs or branzino if I'm back in the area for dinner!
