Maria’s is the kind of kitchen where things are made from scratch and meant to be shared. Founded by twin sisters Maya and Chelsea Sourial, the business draws on their Egyptian-Italian heritage and a childhood spent in kitchens filled with fresh produce, conversation, and slow-simmered sauces.

From their space at 17 Banksia Drive, Maria’s offers catering for events and weddings, as well as a rotating selection of handmade meals available for local pick-up. Their food is produce-led and Mediterranean in influence — think slow-cooked mains, seasonal sides, handmade pastas, and desserts like their popular tiramisu.
