One of the best Middle Eastern food spot! Go go go. Evening menu only offers 4, 6 or 8 dish relatively expensive options. Try the lunch menu lower prices but excellent quality!

Middle eastern flavours come alive here!! Turkish delight doughnuts .Go all out with the arak or raki while eating. Arabic coffee is strong but oh so good and of course shisha

Michael Lauterstein

$15 for The Maha Lamb Burger with an Efes Turkish beer is amazing value. Burger is unique and is among the best in town . Do yourself a favor at lunchtime!

Paul Canterbury

We had the 4 course banquet and it was excellent! Also do yourself a favour and try one of the house cocktails ; you won’t be disappointed.

Dianne Storey

Oh my goodness sooo good! Had the eight course meal. And they catered very well for GF and no fish ! Well done! A lovely evening felt very spoilt.

Jonathan Steffanoni

Seasonal menu is really good... just go with the recommendations of the wait staff .

Josh Chaffey

Went here based on the extremely good reviews and FourSquare's "moderately cheap " rating... boy did I get burned! Lunches may be stunning value but the dinners are not. Wonderful food though.

I don't think this place can claim to be an authentic middle-eastern restaurant when half of the 'Soufra ' had pork as the key ingredient. They were delicious mind you, but still a bit puzzling..

You only have to choose how many dishes you want to try and they will do the rest. The number of dishes is not equivalent to the amount of food but how many different things you'll get to try instead.

Shawn Callahan

Underground, subdued lighting, high-end dining. For special nights out.

Adam Clayton

Amazing, intimate dining experience. The whole order is customised around you and the waiters are so attentive.

Stas Kulesh

Really good sangria-like Maha elixir jug. A perfect beginning of the evening.

Aldo Mencaraglia

Try the 8 course menu. It's delicious and the soufflé is to die for.

Jackie McMillan

Modern Middle Eastern food - the duck entree won me, as did a side of eggplant with fermented black beans . Read more

Ian Nicolson

The soufra (shared plate) is terrific and plenty for lunch . Pork loin with pomegranate was delicious

Alex Walker

Slick but friendly service . Slow cooked lamb is sensational.

Justine Bloome

There's a vegetarian version of the Burger

Jeff King

Very fine dining . Extremely popular and expensive .

Matt L

$20 ultra-express lunch . (very) light dish + glass of wine . average value.

Maggi Solly

The Souffra is wonderful - just make sure you are hungry!

John Apart

Well pleased. Lamb was on point. as was the Tapioca dish. Poached egg/halva dish failed though

John Curtin

Try the israeli beer it's banging and try and do a private function party here the staff will look after you and your crew

Sultan AlSughair

Delicious Food

Theo Adis

For some reason everything was 12 hour cooked lamb . Unfortunately a little dry and much too fatty. Skip the banquet and choose your own food - keep away from the &(&@&; lamb .

Tim Lucas

Lunch maybe dinner no

Make sure you have a reservation , sit down and just say 'I'm vegetarian '. You will be well taken care of! Read more

Spencer Cliff

One of the most amazing meals.

Carla Dee

The soufra is too much food. We shared 4 vegetarian dishes for one person and was satisfied. Very expensive for what it is. Try Movida.

Stephen @Huxley Johnson
