Maha Review - Melbourne - The Infatuation

"Maha is an institution—a well-oiled machine in a swish CBD space serving Middle Eastern dishes that recall the chef/owner’s childhood. You’ll find wines from as far afield as Morocco and Turkey to pair with spice-laden dishes like slow-roasted lamb shoulder with smoked eggplant, and miniature doughnuts stuffed with Turkish delight jelly. Offshoots Maha Bar in Collingwood and Maha East in Prahran are smaller, livelier, and often easier to get into." - Ellen Fraser

We visited to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance of the restaurant is both cute and romantic, making it a perfect spot for either lunch or dinner. Every dish we tried was not only beautifully presented but also tasted delicious. Our favourite dish had to be the Roast Duck, I'd also highly recommend trying their rice with the main courses. It was so flavourful that I could have had it on its own! We shared the Baklava Tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet ending to our celebration.

Friday night pre show , and we ordered a couple of dishes to share . Ordered the hummous and flat bread 🫓 as well as the gf bread option . It was smokeu and flavourful , scallops were good , and we enjoyed the haloumi . However the gf bread was virtually deep fried and oily . For main we had the slow cooked lamb and salad . These two dishes were overpowered and overtly seasoned with salt and that is all you could taste. We couldn’t finish it . No undertones of spices or herbs or flavour . The fennel salad was a clumsy tiny bowl of of a few leaves , salt and tahini and that’s about it . What fennel . A little underwhelmed . Service was polite enough, not at all conversational , we didn’t feel super inclusive . I wouldn’t be back for the food . Maybe for a wine or cocktail .

I went in with a group and had the absolute best time in here! everything on the set menu was delicious, carefully curated and all delicious. The cocktails were just as impressive and Michael, crafted some gems not off the menu as well. We will be back asap!

Absolutely amazing. Staff were attentive without being overbearing. Very accommodating. We didn't feel at all rushed.. Food was delicious.

Elevated middle eastern Australian fusion. My first experience with this type of cuisine and I can’t think of a better introduction than with the excellent presentation and offering at Maha North. The staff were friendly, patient, and happy to explain our naive questions. I wish we had room for dessert.

TLDR: food was alright, dining seating was too cramped to be comfortable. Too close to the tables on either side, space is also very small, which means chatter volume is amplified. Not a pleasant dining experience. Snacks: king crab dish & brisket bun was delish, would recommend Smalls: salmon was meh, not flavorful enough. Quail was cooked well deep fried and succulent, but personally wouldn’t order again as it looked and tasted like a chicken schnitzel which I’m not a fan of. Large: habibbi chicken’s sauce has a bitter aftertaste that I didn’t enjoy and the chicken the surface was burnt a bit too much that it also had a bitter taste. the duck was cooked nicely lovely chew and juicy, however I wasn’t that big of a fan of the sauce personally, was a bit sweet and sour but not a light tangy sweet and sour but muted. Sides: rice, has nice flavours just right for a side not too loud, I was able to cleanse my palate using it.

Very nice food and atmosphere. The lights were really dim, but we liked it. The only downside was I wish the portion was a little bigger for the price we paid. Otherwise, it was a good meal.

From the cosy & intimate interiors, the service & most of all the food. Not only was the food delicious & beautifully plated, it was generous in serving! A feast for the eyes, tummy & soul. Do yourself a real favour & get yourself to this venue stat. We love Maha North!
