Maydoon

Expectations exceeded (and believe me they were high). I spent a lot of my childhood at my Iranian best friend's house. I'd often watch her mom make Tahdig and I loved the nights we had Gormeh Sabzi for dinner, topped with plain yogurt. It quickly became my favorite. This was what I ordered tonight and I was transported right back in time, only thing missing was the Corelle plate ware, you know the one (green border). This was as good if not better than I remembered. The House Gin and Tonic drink was delightful. I ended up ordering two. When I go back, I will get the same. Appetizers we ordered were the eggplant spread (Kashk Badejman), Hummus, and the Dolmeh and they were all delicious. We had a larger party of 8 so we a made reservation. Our server Michael B, was incredibly on point all night long. Just so friendly and accommodating. We truly lucked out having him. I will highly recommend this place until the end of time.

Incredibly delicious kabobs! Maydoon has been on my list to try for quite some time, and ended up being the first new restaurant that I visited in 2025. We sampled a few different items from their menu: - Dolmeh 3.5/5: i like grape leaves but these had a bit of a mushier consistency than i'm used to. flavorful tho nonetheless~- Chicken Kabob 5/5: wow, so impressed by how juicy and tender the meat was! chargrilled to absolute perfection~ would return again and again for this alone - Soltani (3/5 and 5/5): okay so this one comes with two separate ratings, for the filet mignon and ground sirloin respectively. we went with this one because we felt the filet mignon kabob was a must try but the star of the show ended up being the ground sirloin! -Persian Ice Cream (4/5): a fragrant and refreshing blend of saffron, pistachio and rose water that was a nice palate cleanser to finish off our meal~Service was a bit on the slower side on the night we went, as the bartender was working double duty waitressing as well. Maydoon is definitely a must-try in Sac, with absolutely standout kabobs (try the chicken and ground sirloin!) as well as an array of authentic Persian-Iranian dishes and an extensive cocktail menu, making it an ideal spot for a night out with friends or date night.

We went with a group of 6 on a Thursday night. I had gone a few times. The dip trio is the best thing to try. It is. Three different dips.The pita that comes with it may not be enough- these are not even portions and I don't think there are free refills on the bread.if you already know which one you like- you can order a full serving of that one. The eggplant dip is more smokey and savory. There is a cucumber dill yogurt one, then the humus dip.There is a must musir dip, which is also a dairy based dip that my friend said is a "must" tryWe got different kabobs, and the lamb shank. All meats were extremely tender except the chicken- which was a little dry.We ordered "family" style-so they brought out all the meets on one platter and a large plate of rice to share.Service was okay.Close to the park, can be difficult to find parking.

This place was fantastic! Came here with my fiancée for our 8th anniversary dinner and we're delighted by everything! The service was super friendly and helpful, the decor and vibe of the venue was beautiful, even the bathroom tile is pretty. And the food was absolutely delicious, we can't wait to come back to try more of their dishes.Truly a wonderful experience here!

We made a reservation here but it wasn't quite that busy. I think one can do a walkin and be fine! Obviously this is located on one of the busy streets in Sac so street parking is where you can park. The inside is very modern with a slight touch of middle eastern architectural decor/design. It was kind of cute.I ordered a taste of maydoon with chicken. It came with chicken, some mixed greens, must khiar, hummus, pita, and rice. The chicken was tender Delicious! I actually really enjoyed it.Customer service was great! Our waiter kept coming to check and make sure we're good. I really liked that! Would probably return if in the area and craving Mediterranean!

Came for the Dine Downtown menu and it did not disappoint!! Fantastic food!! The traditional Ash was excellent and rich! The domeh were very tasty! The best dishes were hands down the Cornish hen and the amazing lamb!! Well worth the 45 minute wait on the lamb! Drinks are great here too! I had the Tehran nights!! The desserts were my least favorite but only because I typically don't like the types of spices but I will definitely be back! Service was excellent and the ambiance was very bright and warm!

Very delicious and authentic Persian food. We have the koobedeh and fessed joon and dip trio.The staffs were very friendly and the restaurant is clean with a nice deco.

Maydoon has been on my list for a WHILE now. I ended up visiting for a gift exchange and it did not disappoint!We made a reservation for 12, and although we were 15 minutes early, they were still able to seat us quickly. The interior was gorgeous. Definitely great lighting, upscale, and beautiful decor. They also had an outdoor patio. They had a seperate lunch menu, so I'm assuming their menu selection will change depending on the time you dine. I ordered the Maydoon Bowl and it was super fresh and flavorful. The chicken was tender and delicious. It was also super filling and I was able to take it home to have for dinner later.The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our food came out within 15 minutes. They also have a bar, i'd love to come back to try any specialty cocktails that they offer.

Pretty disappointed with my recent experience.Liked that they allowed me to do the Dine Sacramento while the rest of the table order a la carte. I got the soup to start: so much potential but it came out COLD. Like it wasn't heated up at all. I asked for a sauce to give it a little more flavor and then noticed at the end that they charge me $2 for a small portion of it... twice (because it needed that much flavor) Lamb shank: delicious but a little saltyCardamom cake: good- shared it with my friends and they liked it as well. I've been here before and it wasn't that much busier than usual but the service definitely lacked.

We went here for Dine Downtown on Friday night and ordered the Mediterranean caesar salad, we split the baghali polo lamb and cornish kabob, baklava poptart and saffron cardamom cake. The cornish kabob was delicious and something not normally on the menu so I highly recommend choosing that option. Also, I loved the baklava poptart so I would choose that over the saffron cardamom cake but both were good. The salad was flavorful as well. Definitely worth it.
