Mintwood Place Northwest
Mintwood Place NorthwestMaydan is a gourmet Middle Eastern restaurant and it looks beautiful inside! Try to book ahead of time as it is not easy to find a table there.
From the WashingtonPost:
"Maydan filled to the brim, and felt like a hit, the day it opened two blocks north of U Street NW. Hats off to Rose Previte, creator of Compass Rose, the beloved source of global small plates, for breathing life into the former Manhattan Laundry site and settling on a recipe, based on Middle Eastern and other flavors, that hasn’t been overdone. The restaurant’s name is the word for a town square or gathering place; Previte, whose mother is Lebanese, says she’s aiming for “joyful chaos” in her new two-story restaurant.
