Maha’s Brunch
Pharaoh’s po’ boy (shrimp)
Verdict: Run
My friends, I don’t think I can eat falafel anywhere else anymore. The 2 in the appetizer platter were highly sought after within our group of 5. Amazing Egyptian food.

Comments:
Appetizer platter is highly recommended as a way of trying a little of everything! Great variety of dips and combos to delight the tastebuds. Their babaghanoug (otherwise known as baba ghanoush) has changed my friend’s mind forever, she never enjoyed it before.
Absolutely loved my Pharoah’s Po’ Boy - crispy large shrimps with hummus inside. Perfect bite of flavour explosion without being overwhelming.
My friends loved the salty-sweet combo of the grilled cheese with date chunks in it. Went wonderfully with the silky smooth lentil soup.
All of our drinks were a hit, especially their famous cardamom honey latte. We got them cold and it was incredibly refreshing.
Such a cute atmosphere. Feels like you’re eating in their home, surrounded by mix-matched furniture (even on the patio where we were) and eclectic knickknacks. Fantastic service!
Be prepared for a long wait. They don’t take reservations, but I’m willing to brave the line again. Will you be?
