The flavor was too dense and too much for me.
Food was all delicious but you feel like you not get a rest from "the taste".
Everything is seasoning heavily, the most ligter part was water.
I love Maydan- I just went last night. I'd say it is my favorite DC restaurant.

We love fine dining and have eaten at great restaurants all over the world (we're not American and only recently moved here). The Inn was by far our most expensive meal - $950 for tasting menu with matching wines. It was nice but unmemorable. Which is outrageous for that price!
We love Little Serow!

Don't they do any good french bistro basics, like steak frites and salade lyonaisse? Or is it so crowded and obnoxious that I'd be better off just going to Bistro du Coin?
I was going to post that for a basic French bistro meal, I think the food at bistro du coin is consistently better and better priced. Bistro sun pin actually has a very good wine list, too.

Bland (except for overly salty falafel), non-authentic and really just underwhelming. Mediocre ambiance and service.
OMG yes. My husband is always recommending it to visitors because he can walk there for lunch. I always glare at him and mouth “stop. Just stop.” It’s only good if you are visiting from Ohio and think it’s exotic.
Interesting. We have had a great experience there and this is after having lived in the Middle East for five years.
My Lebanese in-laws love it. I do too but I’m not Middle Eastern.
