ABOUT MAHA
Located in a sub-basement venue on Bond St in Melbourne’s CBD, Maha pays homage to Middle Eastern hospitality, encompassing this through emphasis on its food, service and ambience. Maha's new and fresh approach to Middle Eastern cuisine has seen it win rave reviews and many awards.
Maha opened in February 2008 as a venture between Made Establishment and Shane Delia. The brainchild of chef Shane Delia, Maha embraces his Maltese heritage and has certainly taken the notion of Middle Eastern cooking to a new level.
This restaurant will certainly excite all your senses - see, touch, smell, taste and listen to all that is Middle Eastern right in the heart of Melbourne. Enjoy a lavish dinner in the private dining room or restaurant or a quick meal for lunch before you move into the funky courtyard to indulge in the traditional 'shi sha' pipe, famous to the Middle East.
For flavours and textures that inspire and delight, visit Maha and prepare to be transported into the mysterious Arabian night.

Carmelo ‘Nenu’ Delia
Born: 27/01/1929
Deceased: 21/08/2004
My nannu Nenu is the beating drum in my heart that inspires me to be the chef, father and leader I need to be to inspire and lead my family both at home and at Maha and St Katherine's.
His love and passion for life, family and the church is the cornerstone of the real Delia family strength and no matter what may arise or who may confront us his passion unites us and keeps my true family close to my heart.
His lessons and teachings throughout my life grounded and focused me on what life is truly about, and I feel it is my duty to share these ideologies with the rest of the world.
Just as my father has now taken up the role as the head of the Delia family and starts his page in our family tree. I too will have to when it is my time. I hope I have been a good student as I have had two inspirational role models.
Food is the quintessential common ground for people of all of denominations and I want to use this medium to share Nenu’s dream.
