I came across a recent BlogT article on this place and the pictures and description of the food got my attention. My husband and I walked into the cozy place off Greenwood on a Saturday (11 am) and were advised right away by the most friendliest guy whose mom and sister were busy "beeing" in the kitchen that it's going to be a 45 minute wait! Four couples also walked behind us and gladly accepted the 45 minute wait. As the aroma of out of the world dishes and authentic Egyptian spice hit our senses, we understood why Maha's (Egyptian Faire) which just opened less then a month ago is going to be one of the "IT" bistros of 2014-2015!!
We started off ordering the hot drinks. I ordered the Cardamom and honey latte, which took me back to my trip to Egypt. The aroma the taste was out of this world! The cardamom seeds crunched in my mouth as the honey soothed my tongue. My husband ordered the Turkish coffee, which we were told in advance took 10 minutes to make. The verdict..the best authentic Turkish Coffee in town!
For our brunch items I ordered the Cairo Classic (flava beans, boiled eggs, falafel and dalop of home made feta and balady bread) my hubby got the Basturma Scramble (sliced beef in Egyptian spices clarified butter and eggs); Verdict, true Egyptian cuisine worth the 45 minute wait!
We left the bistro feeling happy and satisfied while planning our next trip to the Red Sea!!!
