Famed for its exquisite yet affordable cuisine, Chef and restaurateur Shane Delia’s flagship Middle-Eastern restaurant, Maha, is set to tantalise taste buds with its exclusive £15 ‘Bowls of Goodness’ throughout June. Available at lunchtime seven days a week, these hearty, nutritious, and high-quality bowls are crafted to please both loyal Maha patrons and local lunch seekers alike. In commemoration of the month, a unique bowl will be featured weekly, each one lovingly curated by a skilled Maha chef, embodying distinct stories through their ingredients, colours, and flavours that reflect diverse upbringings, journeys, and experiences.
“Our lunchtime Bowls of Goodness are a tribute to the diners of Melbourne who have shown us endless support. By inviting our talented chefs to create these bowls, we hope to bring vibrancy, quality and wholesome goodness to the city’s lunchtime scene,” explains Shane Delia.
Diners can anticipate a rotating menu of four delectable bowls with the following as the first three confirmed options:
- 1st – 9th June: Federico’s Bowl of Goodness
Delight in star anise and cinnamon braised pork belly, tahini, bok choy, and lemongrass-scented rice. This bowl, crafted by Chef Federico Fioravanzo, is inspired by the Chinese dish Hong Shao Rou (‘Red braised pork’), a favourite in his household.
- 10th – 16th June: Daniel’s Bowl of Goodness
Savour the rich, complex flavours of tamarind, ancho chilli, and harissa braised beef, complemented by pickled carrots, coriander, and herbed couscous. Group Head Chef Daniel Giraldo brings his Latin heritage and travel experiences to life in this tantalising creation.
- 17th – 23rd June: Martin’s Bowl of Goodness
Experience lamb barbacoa cooked in banana leaves, paired with corn and chicken rice, avocado, red onion, chilli, and coriander, all topped with crispy fried plantain chips. Chef Martin Zoyaza marries childhood memories from Hidalgo, Mexico with his current culinary artistry at Maha.
Maha’s Bowls of Goodness will be available daily from the 1-30 of June, from 12pm to 3pm. Reservations can be made online, but walk-ins are also welcome.
