"This upscale Iranian restaurant comes from Maydan vet Chris Morgan and Persian chef and cookbook author Najmieh Batmanglij. Find luxurious kabobs, platters of duck and lamb shoulder, thadig and more. Teal-covered MayBar, the thumping bar in the center of the restaurant, is churning out Persian takes on classic cocktails, like a creamy pistachio martini and a saffron ice-capped Negroni with mint and basil. Join Morgan on the patio for Live Fire Fridays during the warmer months, where he crafts original dishes on a massive grill each week. The Kitchen Collective is also using the space to hold pop-ups featuring upcoming restaurants during daytime hours. — updated by Emily Venezsky" - Missy Frederick
