The customer service? Top tier. Now... I was fully planning to pass on the mint lemonade, but Hamdi insisted. And when I tell you it's a MUST... I had no idea I was even thirsty until that first sip.

For desert we ordered greek yogurt with apricot and it was probably the best thing we tried here. The ambience is classy and they have ample of seating space.

We always had pita, they were quick to check in on us, and overall the service was great! Food-wise, there were some HUGE standouts. The red pepper walnut dip is a MUST. It's a little sweet, a little tangy, and super flavorful overall. The hummus was also delicious, with a sorta woodsy, smoky depth of flavor. The oyster mushrooms, though, were an absolute standout. SO much umami, really well seasoned, and perfectly cooked -- they genuinely tasted like steak. Amazing, amazing dish. The vegetables were also really well done overall. The fire-roasted asparagus was great, and the sweet potato was perfect. The cauliflower was also amazing, although we ordered so much food that we weren't able to finish everything and had to take some home. If you're choosing vegetables, do the sweet potato and the mushrooms, hands down. The carrot havuc was yummy as well, more mild and yogurt-y, and the pickled veggies were really interesting. I had never had a pickled tomato before! The pomegranate mocktail was also delicious. Gingery, well balanced, and very refreshing. HIGHLY recommend. There were a couple dishes that fell a little short for me. The halloumi comes out VERY hot, so be careful lol, but it was veryyy sesame-forward and ultimately wasn't my favorite. It was good, just not something I'd necessarily reorder. The saffron couscous was also not a huge hit around the table. It wasn't bad, just a little too sweet with the raisins and not 100% there for me. My mom liked it more than I did! Overall, you can tell everyone at Maydan believes in the food and really cares about the experience. We were celebrating my brother's birthday, and Haley even brought out a little champagne toast :,). I will absolutely be back!

The mixed platter with chicken and lamb was delicious, although I would prefer just to order lamb next time. Just looking at the plate, I knew I couldn't finish the whole thing.

Left fully satisfied after eating two thirds of the platter, I cannot wait to dig into the rest later. There is some patio seating on the side of the restaurant.

If in the area, you can't go wrong with this restaurant. In the past, I've spoken to the owner and she's lovely. I assume she's still the owner, but I wouldn't know if the restaurant has turned over or not. If they have new owners, it's still a lovely place. I might add that it has a full bar, which is very surprising for such a small establishment.
