Is this the best brunch spot in Toronto? Possibly. Is it the best brunch spot in the East End? Likely.
Maha's is a fabulously tasty brunch, lunch or early dinner option - as long as you don't mind a bit of a wait. (But let's face it. Those lineups on a Wednesday morning really just go to show how good the food is).
The deliciously unique menu boasts standard breakfast fare with an Egyptian twist, extreme sandwiches, and plenty of both vegetarian and vegan options.
My personal favourite is the Pharaohs Po'boy, shrimp perfectly deep fried in a delicate egg batter, then stuffed into fresh baldady bread. The vegetarian version (the Arnabeet) which subs cauliflower in for the shrimp, might be just as good.
Having said that, for your first time - do the Cairo Classic. Trust me, come hungry, and enjoy.
