The food? Gorgeous💖 The flavors are authentic and crazy good. Every little detail in this place is just perfect. Highly recommend, even if the line’s insane just show up early and you’re golden

Had a beautiful Sunday brunch at Maha's, a cozy and charming gem nestled in Toronto. There’s usually a bit of a wait to get in, but it’s absolutely worth it. The guest service is exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming.

The food is on a whole other level. We tried the Cairo Classic, basturma scramble, and the award-winning lentil soup with date grilled cheese. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor—truly a chef’s kiss! To top it all off, we indulged in the honey cardamom latte, which was a perfect complement to the meal.

The restaurant’s aura and environment are lively and busy, but in the best way possible—it adds to the charm and energy of the place. We were also seated at a beautiful spot in the restaurant, making the experience even more special.

Overall, it was an amazing experience, and Maha’s has firmly secured its place as our top pick for breakfast and beyond. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere and very attentive service. Waiters were always making sure we were enjoying our meal and had everything we needed. Foods had super interesting flavours that were very new to me. I wish the food was a little bolder and spicier but I was still very pleased with the meal. Portions are quite big so I wouldn’t order appetizers if you’re already ordering a main. I recommend the lentil soup and the shakahuka. The special latte was also quite good

My husband and I visited for brunch at 10am, and although there was a 45-minute wait, it was well worth it. The lentil soup arrived quickly and had an amazing flavor. We also ordered hummus, Cairo classic, Maha's mind-blowing chicken, and a side of Egyptian falafel. Their Egyptian falafel is a must-try - it's incredibly delicious! If you enjoy spicy food, their chili sauce is also stand out for me, it's full of flavour and compliment the dish!

As the other reviews have said, it’s a long line but so worth it! It took about 45 minutes and we went on a Saturday. We are definitely coming back to try more. The food and drinks were incredible- we ordered the date grilled cheese with lentil soup, Egyptian falafel, and an iced hazelnut latte. Delicious and great portion sizes. The service was also wonderful, every server was so friendly and helpful. Most of all, I love the aesthetic of Maha's. It's filled with Egyptian decor and looks so cool. Can't wait to come back.
