Was Kris Morris at Max's a mag?
This restaurant in a strip mall is certainly the strangest and most run-down place I've ever visited in America, but the shawarma sandwich was truly outstanding! The staff putting together the sandwiches were incredibly helpful and patient. The floor had peeling tiles, and random items were partially concealed behind black curtains. There were only a few tables lining the walls of a large open space. It’s definitely... View all feedback.
What Jeanne Dupuy dislikes about Max's:
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.

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.

Best shwarmas ever! You add in your pita from a variety of salads! So delicious! They have a complimentary falafel, yum!
