Overview
We all love a chef collaboration, and we live for a midweek cheap eats deal. But rarely do the two meet quite as well as Maha East's most recent dining series 'ARAB'iata.
This sees top Melbourne chefs like Scott Pickett (Chancery Lane, (Estelle, Matilda Longrain, Smith St Bristot and Audrey's), Mischa Tropp (Toddy Shop), Joseph Abboud (Rumi), Julian Hills (Navi), Pete Gun, (Ides) and Ben Cooper (Chin Chin) cook up limited-edition $15 pastas every week from September 16–November 6.
The pastas will all be Middle Eastern-inspired and are only available between Monday and Wednesday from 5 pm.
First up is Maha's own Shane Delia from September 16–19, who's plating pan-fried haloumi and mint gnocchi with charred tomato, cumin-spiced lamb and pine nuts. Pete Gunn follows this with his caramelised dukkah and brown butter mac 'n' cheese from September 23–25.
You've then got Ben Cooper from September 30–October 2, Daniel Giraldo from October 7–9, Julian Hills from October 14–16, Joseph Abboud from October 21–23, Scott Pickett from October 28–30 and Micha Tropp from November 4–6. We don't know what Middle Eastern-influenced pasta dishes these chefs will be creating, but you can find out closer to the date via Maha East's Instagram page.
Booking slots for those just eating pasta will only be 45 minutes long, but you are free to stick around longer if you order more bites off the a la carte menu.
