We starting fourth dimension visited Maha a few years agone as well as had a good, but non amazing meal. Since then, seemingly every vegan nosotros know has raved non-stop nearly how good they're catered for at Maha. So when friends organised a big grouping vegan feast in that place nosotros joined inwards to encounter if it measured up. Everything was pre-arranged - nosotros booked inwards for a five-course vegan degustation ($95 a head) as well as turned upward amongst zilch to determine except what to drink. I sampled diverse wines ordered past times to a greater extent than focussed dining companions, piece Cindy dived into the cocktails amongst a real satisfactory Amman Sash (Ketel One Citron, cointreau, vanilla syrup, Kinnie as well as a blood-red liquorice garnish). Also pictured below are our starting fourth dimension couplet of shared plates - roughly lightly spiced chickpea chips as well as a plate of immature carrots exactly dressed amongst stone oil as well as lemon.
After the tabular array demolished the shared dishes, nosotros moved onto a few private plates - firstly the excellently crunchy zucchini felafel amongst pumpkin puree, tomatoes as well as a crisp of za'atar as well as sesame bread.
Everything kicked upward a notch amongst the adjacent dish: Char-grilled babe corn amongst enoki mushrooms, hazelnuts as well as a cauliflower as well as saffron purée. This dish got overlooked when nosotros reflected on our favourite dishes at the terminate of the night, but it was special - a vivid combination of flavours as well as textures.
Then came belike the most well-received dish of the evening: a truffled fava puree topped amongst asparagus, walnut crumbs as well as chilli oil. Everything nearly this was perfect - the rich truffley puree, lightly roasted asparagus as well as lots of crunchy goodness from the walnuts. The chilli stone oil was mild but cutting through the richness. This was sublime.
While everyone recovered from those 2 wonderful dishes, roughly other circular of part plates came out: a sumac fattoush that cruel exactly the correct side of existence equally good salty, a brownish rice pilaf amongst pumpkin seeds, a combination of ras-el-hanout spiced pumpkin, almonds, mint as well as radish that I loved as well as my favourite dish of the night: blood-red lentil manti amongst aleppo pepper dressing as well as carrot puree.
We were all a chip blown away past times the savoury dishes, so were happy to bring a brief time out earlier the dessert came out. We also got to bring a quick chat amongst Shane Delia, Maha's caput chef, who seemed super enthused nearly putting together vegan menus (I estimate he wasn't going to endure equally good negative amongst a tabular array of sixteen wildly enthused veg*ns inwards staring adoringly upward at him).
The dessert class was a vanilla vegan sponge amongst rose H2O as well as watermelon ice, pineapple gel, micro basil as well as kokosnoot sorbet. This was sudden as well as refreshing, but non quite the indulgent complete nosotros felt our incredible repast deserved.
So nosotros ordered a bonus circular of Turkish please doughnuts (5 for $15), which were deliciously puffy piddling balls of fried sweetness.
Maha actually exceeded our expectations on this catch - the v class repast gets you lot something similar 10 dissimilar dishes, all of which were swell as well as a handful of which were really incredible. The service was superb, the booze flowed liberally as well as the atmosphere was buzzing without existence deafening.
We staggered out happy afterward a nighttime of wonderful companionship as well as superb food. Maha actually deliver for vegans - it's a fine dining house where the vegan dishes experience similar they've been given equally much idea equally the non-vegan options. Add it to your list!
