Makan: A Malaysian Culinary Journey in the Heart of DC
A Modern Take on Malaysian Cuisine
At Makan, located at the bustling 3400 11th St NW, Washington, DC, the spotlight beams bright on the rich flavors of Malaysian cuisine. You walk in and see a clean, contemporary dining space, thoughtfully designed for comfort while being rooted in authenticity. The ambiance is family-friendly but still vibrant, perfect for a date night or a casual gathering.

Signature Dishes That Impress
Let’s talk food! Chef James Wozniuk, the mastermind behind this culinary gem, brings you an array of mouthwatering dishes that showcase the complexity of Malaysian flavors. You must try the rendang—a fragrant, slow-cooked beef stew bursting with spices. And don’t even think about skipping the ayam goreng (fried chicken), which rivals the best fried chicken in town, with its crunchy skin and juicy interior. For the true thrill-seekers, char kway teow—a stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp and Chinese sausage—will tantalize your taste buds like never before! The array of cocktails here is uniquely crafted, pairing perfectly with these delicious plates to elevate your dining experience further.
Service Quality and Commitment to Community

And, let’s talk community—this restaurant honors those who serve us, offering a commendable 10% discount for military personnel, police, and firefighters. It’s those little touches that make dining here as enjoyable as it is tasteful.

Makan is open for dinner every day from 5:30 PM to 9 PM and serves a delightful brunch on weekends. Plus, if you’re worried about parking, a $5 credit at the nearby Giant makes it easier to visit. Accessibility is key—even for the most enthusiastic food lovers!
