Review of Max's, an Israeli Restaurant in Wheaton, Maryland

We had an opportunity recently to visit Max's rrestaurant which serves authentic Israeli food items. Located at 2319 University Blvd. at West Wheaton, Maryland in the suburbs of Washington DC, the phone number is 301- 949-6297. We visited this restaurant with our entire family last weekend. Our experience at this restaurant was really enjoyable. I am going to give a brief review of the restaurant in this article.

We reached the restaurant at around 1 pm in the afternoon. There were many people at that time in the restaurant enjoying their lunch. We referred the menu items and were amazed to find variety of all the food items, both in veg and non veg categories. As most of us were strict vegetarians, we selected full plate of Falafel, which was available at the rate of $5.95. There is only a difference of $1 between the full and half plates of falafel. Hence, we all went for the whole order of Falafel. It was made based on our own choice of additives and to the desired taste. All the salad items were served fresh along with Falafel Gotas and all types of chutneys to our taste. The proportion also was quiet large and we got fully satisfied with one whole order of Falafel. The other items like burgers in varieties like Chili Burger, Turkey Burger, and the stick burgers were also available. The light menu of salads consisting of Tuna Salad Sandwich, Veggie Burger, Home made soups, and Matzo Ball Soup was also served at the rates of around $6 per plate. The dinner special items like Rotisserie Chicken, Rib Steaks, Stuffed Cabbage, and tasty Mediterranean Kabobs are also served at the rates of around $ 14 per plate. The special kid's menus consisting of Hamburgers, Hot Dog, and Chicken Nuggets were also available at around $ 4. Lots of Chicken Varieties are also served in various proportions like snack box, Dinner box, Jumbo box, special box, and a full bucket. The single pieces of fried chicken were also available in case you want less proportion at around $4.

The side orders of French Fries, Onion Rings, Meat Knish, Israeli Salad, Potato Salad, Tossed Salads in small, medium, and large sizes and the Pasta varieties like Spaghetti and Spaghetti with Meat Balls are also available at the rates of around $10 per plate. Around eight varieties of vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Sandwiches are also available at the rates of around $10. The special Low- Carb menu items are also served at this unique restaurant in case you are interested in such items. The cold drinks like Coke, Sprite, Orange, Root Beer, Ice Tea etc were also served at the rate of $ 1.59, $ 1.89, $2.49 for small, medium, and the large size respectively. The fountain fruit drinks in four varieties are also served at around the same rates as cold drinks. Finally, the desert items like Gourmet Cakes and Ice creams should not be forgotten. These deserts were served at the rates of around $3 per plate. All in all, visit to this restaurant has been our one of the best experiences and we all would surely repeat it in the near future. The special catering orders are also accepted by this restaurant for any events like birthday, marriage anniversary, and such other occasions. The restaurant serves only Kosher Meat and hence perhaps loved by many people. The restaurant remains open from 11 am to 9 pm from Sunday to Thursday and from 11 am to 2 pm on Fridays. Surprisingly, it remains closed on all Saturdays.

The only aspects that needed the improvement in this restaurant are its layout of tables, which is slightly obstructive and the general cleanliness of the restrooms. The slightly foul odor of the restaurant was also one of the matters of concern. Barring of these few aspects, the restaurant is really fantastic for Israeli food delicacies, and particularly for the Falafel lovers like us. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to all my AC friends and readers to visit it at least once at a convenient opportunity.
