Apparently this place was renovated into a more upbeat and classy atmosphere. I really love their white couches and light strips around the walls. It makes the room feel more comfy and upscale! (Tip: minimum age is 18 years old). The servers were such sweethearts. They are so down to earth and friendly to talk to. They also have belly dancers preform in the lounge at around 11:00 pm, but you have to pay an additional fee if you want to watch the performance. The lounge does not serve alcoholic beverages. Instead, they sell soda, bottled water, and green tea! (tip: they have no diet soda for those self-conscious people). My boyfriend and I got the premium flavor called White Gummy Bear. It was light, not too sweet, and very tasty! We also ordered a hot green tea with 2 sugars. The combination of green tea and gummy bear definitely hit the spot. The total bill came out to be $31 including tax but not tip, which is pretty cheap compared to New York City standards. The whole experience was worth it. This lounge was definitely LIT!

Fast forward in May I met up with my cousin who lives in Toronto when I went to Egypt and I asked if she been to Masrawi cuz I love their content lol. She said she not only has been there but knows the folks who own and work there. So when I planned to surprise my cousins and visit them in Toronto, not only did they take me here but also introduce me to Mo. haha I felt starstruck but also so honored to meet him and try the food. It is amazing so nice I ordered it twice! Thanks to Wiwa and Maya for taking me here it was amazing. I keep it simple my fav dish is tamiya, but we had the whole Shabang, mashawy, hawashi, koshari, everything you can think of. Thank you for not only serving this delicious food but making it a great experience. Ps we also went to the local for drinks after, the vibe was dope.

I tried a variety of the meats and they were cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and well balanced with just the right spices and sauces. Nothing was dry, which made every bite enjoyable. Even though it was busy, the service was quick and very welcoming. The restaurant itself is spotless and clearly well maintained. They also offer traditional desserts like Om Ali, knefe, and rice pudding. If you want a more relaxed café vibe afterward, there's a café in the same parking lot run by the same owners with very comfortable seating and even a prayer room. Overall, a wonderful experience that definitely did not disappoint. I'll absolutely be back.

Our favourite items were: the Dokka, Hummus, Cucumber Pickles & Bissara, the Koshari, the Tameya, and the Bassbousa. Can't wait to go back again.

The food is infused with Charcoal and has a smoky taste to it. The young man working there was kind enough to explain the menu as he introduced me to 'Mandi' cuisine.

My reviews are mostly based on the taste and presentation of food. I never criticize a place by its looks. Sometimes the place attracts a certain type of audience and I domt judge!

We got the mind blowing chicken sandwich, Egyptian falafel and Cairo classic. All were super tasty and flavourful. We were so full after! The falafels were super crispy. The best we've ever had. The Cairo classic with the fava beans were great fibre to go with all the carbs. The sandwich was packed with flavour and super saucy. They had indoor seating as well as some patio seating. Inside was super cute with homey decor. So happy we finally got to try Maha's and that it lived up to the hype! Will be back.

I tried 2 dishes: grilled chicken & grilled minced lamb. Both dishes cost me $50 and is worth less than $20! Here's why: 1) the portions were miserly! For a $30 plate (with tax), take a look at the photo - 4 tiny balls of minced lamb sitting morosely on the plate. 8 bites in total! 2) the meats were as dry as OLD SHOES! Charcoal grilling is an art form. The lamb, which was supposedly wrapped in lamb fat, should have been succulent and juicy. Instead, as the 2nd photo shows, it was burnt and very, very dry. 3) the chicken was no better. Dry to the point of being stringy and chewy. It was supposed to be dark meat (leg), but it was so dry I couldn't even tell if it was dark or white meat. 4) For this miserable dinner, I waited a full 28 minutes - when I was there at 4pm and I was the only 1 of 2 customers. Unacceptable! This was a real disappointment, and a total let down, because Karas shawarma (by the same Owner) was actually quite decent, which was why I decided to try their restaurant location. My verdict: Eat at Karas shawarma, when they have their 2 wraps for $20 promo on Mondays. That's worth eating for that price. But Karas Restaurant most definitely is NOT worth eating at - at this price point & for such bad quality!
