You've been warned about the long wait times so it's no reason for anyone to complain. Come prepared to put your name down and return in a hour or two.
We ordered:
- appetizer platter: very worth it if you're with 3-4 people.
- Lentil soup: creamy and filling (friends could only finish half)
- Cairo classic: their most popular dish.
- Mind blowing chicken: tastes like a chicken shawarma in between a Big Mac bun.
- Egyptian Falafel
- Turkish coffee
- Honey-cardamom latte
If I came back, I'd reorder: Appetizer platter, mind blowing chicken and Turkish coffee.
Do
- Come in a small group (no more than 4 - there are only 24 seats)
- Order to share. Although the dishes are entre style, I found it repetitive after 5 bites. Plus, it's a good way to try as many dishes as possible.
- Try one of their coffee/teas
Maha is a unique option for brunch in Toronto. The service is slow but at least the staff are friendly!
