Just went there 2 days ago. The line up was an hour long because the restaurant's capacity is 24 people. We were outside standing in the freezing rain. But if there was one place that deserved a long line this would be it. Do make sure you try "Noah's Pudding," "Cairo Classic" and "Honey Cardamom Latte"

Very nice of the family to sit down with you and walk you through their cuisine! Seems like a lovely place with a friendly and beautiful family.

Bryce Arabs go crazy if you start eating traditional food the "American" way , you shall eat the traditional way . And so they would tell you how to eat it correctly and explain all the things that go throught it .

Great job on inviting Lucas in the team do you have any other hosts with Spanish backgrounds that could do the same as What Lucas does I believe his Chinese American mix developed his open minded palate

Having an open minded palate probably has alot more to do with family and social contexts and background than with genetics.

Sure is! I have gone into a dietary lifestyle before that was a middle eastern- mediterranean combo, and it was the healthiest I've ever been. Watching this video reminded me how yummy (and healthy) the food was and inspired me to dip back into it.

Actually Egyptian cuisine is unique in the Middle East by using quite a bit of butter alongside olive oil.
I now live in Egypt but will go to Toronto just to have a meal at Maha's. Too yummy!
Definitely one of my favorite hosts. I love how informative and genuine he is. He doesn't try to pander to anyone and he doesn't have that fake style that you see too often with hosts who read from a script or cards. He loves food, the people who make it, and teaching others about it.
The bit at the end where the family decided to open the restaurant together was pretty touching.
I loved this post! The food looks amazing and When I am in Toronto, I will bring my Niece to this restaurant for a meal. It is not too far from her home, so I think she will be going there on her own too. I love Middle Eastern food, with it's emhasis on fresh and spice. Thank you for this review.
The editor must've had a little chuckle when he did this (3:26): "Do you like eggs?" "That's really excellent"
Egyptian. Food is awesome I love it

As an Egyptian, I have to commend the creativity of this restaurant. They were able to keep the authentic ingredients and flavors of Egyptian cuisine while imagining new forms of the traditional dishes. I’d love to eat there some day. Also, I’m pretty sure the letters a in Maha are pronounced like the a in “man.”
omg that looks soooo good
Having watched a lot of episodes of DID to this day, I think I learned a lot more about different cuisines of different nations with Lucas and the people he interacts with more than any other show. Keep up the good work!
The food looks absolutely delicious! 😋😋😋
Egyptian Brunch is looking GREAT!
Watching this inspires me to seek and search out "mom and pop" stores and restaurants to taste new flavors.
such a beautiful family
what beautiful food!
Looks amazing!
Torontonian here! Love this place, love their food! Went to the restaurant on Greenwood
Eater you gotta try Haleem(lamb or chicken). Its a dish you get in the middle east and Indian subcontinent. The meat is slow cooked for hours until it becomes super tender. Classic mogul food.
Ayyyyy egyptian girl right here✋✋✌

they think yes by the Copts who would eat it as a meat substitute during Lent and it made its way to the Levant. But the Syrians /Lebanese debate this. Molokhia and -bread are 100% Egyptian . Maqloube is definitely Palestinian. hummous, tabouleh, babaganoush, yebre (grapeleaves) , muhumera are definitely Syrian/Lebanese.

So wonderful to hear their success story and the food looks delicious
Beautiful family ...
Thank you for coming to my hometown and sharing this wonderful story. This restaurant is still successful to this day, so successful they extended the space! I've heard it's packed on weekends. This video reminds me I need to try it. They have a vegan/ vegetarian takeout menu.
This place is amazing! I had the Po Boy sandwich and cardamom tea....sooo good!
Great food cuisine in Canada, wish you all the best of luck and success, proud of you
Great story -- very inspiring !!
It's nice that alot o people trying Egyptian food ,it's raining delicious ,I am proud to be Egyptian.
Looks incredible. I've dabbled a bit in middle eastern cuisine, but this put egyptian to the top of my "to cook" list
I'm Australian and I've never tasted any of these foods and I would really love to, it all looks so delicious😊
I absolutely love this!! Tons of Egyptians owning restaurants in the west and almost always cooking some "Mediterranean" menu that has no Egyptian specialities at all, which is truly a shame
wonderful family story of hard work and love
Great family, great food, great story
All that food looked delish!!!
This is lovely, hopefully when we come to Canada we will drop in!!
so delicious Egyptian food I lovely really..beautiful .. and humble people
Wow! Fabulous!!!
This is a block from my house. Ah the joys of living in a big city (take that Edmonton). I'll try it out soon.

Anything interesting in Etobicoke? and it easily accessible to Downtown via mass transit or am I better off renting a car? Is that RUSH Tour company still around?
Wow. Wow. If I ever get to Toronto I am all over this place.
you were in Episode 2 of the Westworld!! amazing!
Definitely hitting this place up when I get back home to Toronto. Right now though, I'm digging the Seattle places. It's like this series was made for me. XD.
This looks truly amazing. They need to open a chain of these restaurants.
no problem .. i always rewatch it anyway every single episode of dining on a dime and the meat show whenever I'm on long trip. which is ever week (^^)
My hubby is from Cairo Egypt I make tons of Egyptian food
oh so this is a re-post. that's why it looked familiar. I knew I saw this episode before.

This is a repeat ... a good one, so not worrying too much ... but wondering when something new will surface!

Show is better than Bizarre Foods! Subbed
Wow that's looks good! I'd go all the way to Toronto just to eat there. I wonder if there is a similar type restaurant in the Bay Area.
The food looks delicious
5:24 - beautiful story.

Very nice family.
Family, it's everything.
Looks delicious
To this day, this place still has a lineup outside everyday!! Must be good!

Deliciously delicious can't wait to visit the restaurant were is it.

Yum! 😋
Dang..i was all excited thinking it's a new episode.
I have googled Po Boy with Shrimp and Tehina recipe Egyptian style and can't find a darn thing on it. Tried a search on the fried shrimp batter and nothing. I've read on reddit that someone from Egypt has never heard of this dish and now I'm baffled.
i am going here next weekend
Maha's, see you soon, can't wait to have hummus and fool and falafel and adds
