What people say, in short

Maydan draws strong Middle Eastern-food recommendations, and one diner names it among their go-to special-night restaurants. Individual favorites include the lamb shoulder, ribeye and muhammara. One visitor particularly enjoys the spread of pita, dips, pickles and kebabs. Value divides opinion: one finds it inexpensive beside other fine-dining meals, while others think the cooking underwhelming for the cost. Noise and heat near the fire also draw warnings.
