Quailty and authenticity is not there any longer. Used to be the best place in the county. Falafel is trash. You get less meat in your shawarma each time you come now with no falafel.Bring the old cooks back!
Great food if you're looking for a nice quick bite. I got the shawarma fries and everything was very fresh hot. My only complaint is the place looks alittle run down and the prices are a tad steep for what you're getting.
I've only ordered for delivery (thanks to Omicron spreading like wildfire lately), but Max's Cafe has the best shawarma plate I've found in the DC area. They don't just cut up some tomato and cucumber and call it a day!Max offers fantastic sumac onion, red and green cabbage, Turkish onion, Israeli salad and pickles, amba, red and green charif... and more. The meat is what I would call standard quality, but the fresh ingredients of the salads and sauces, along with their outstanding flavors, are where the place really shines.I'll be coming here a lot more often in 2022.
Covid 19 effects noted. Food was good, slow service , could warm up the atmosphere. It was cafeteria style but not clean , menus is hard to read , needs to unclutter menus and restaurant. Cover unused furniture, or screen off , clean the floor, brighten up the room it is not conducive to a good eating experience. Schwarma was good soup good but 30 minutes to get a bowl of soup?Very noisy . Poor eating environment. Would be better if you take pride in your space as well as the food.
