We opted for the now old favourite 4 course Souffra menu with its eclectic mix of middle eastern flavours and aromas. The truly stand-out dishes were the roast winter pumpkin, aleppo pepper spiced chicken and macadamiadish – extraordinary mouth-watering flavours – and the 12 hour roasted lamb shoulder, with cumin, garlic, onion and winter tarragon now with a little sauce reduction to make it just a bit more moist.However all the dishes tasted, and in particular the accompanying vegetable ones, were just as flavoursome - char grilled flat beans, olive oil, garlic, lemon and za’atar roasted cauliflower salad was a brilliant dish. But so too the chickpeas, soybeans, red oak and pickled pear – just amazing combinations of flavour.The matched wines again were superb from the Franklin Riesling through to some unusual reds made all the better by some informed discussion about their respective merits and why they were on the list. The staff at Maha help make this a truly special dining experience – completely professional, enthusiastic about their role and relaxed and friendly – so that at no time did we feel obliged to conclude the lunch despite it nearing 5.00pm in the afternoon. This is the kind of meal you remember year’s later. Well done Maha you have set new benchmarks for outstanding food and service.

Everything. Took also an expensice glass of wine so it was quite pricy lunch but really worth it. I think this was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. We didn't book before hand but they organiced us a table even though it seemed to he quite busy day. All the waiters and waitresses were really friendly. I really recommend this to everyone who wants to try something new and delicious!
