Kawalees

A cultural Arabic cabaret for contemporary performance art

Open until 11:30 pm

(55)

Mile-End Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Lebanese Middle Eastern

Review Summary

Kawalees comes across as a true cultural spot in Montreal, with a warm atmosphere, vibrant events from music and theatre to stand-up, and real support for artists through solid amenities and smooth organization. Vibes are social and inviting, the crowd friendly, the food generally good, and service efficient enough to make visits feel easy and worth repeating, especially on busy nights. New Year’s Eve nights showed teams handling high demand with well arranged tables while a lineup including Arabic oud, an international singer, a belly dancer and a DJ kept the energy high. It is not a fine dining venue, but the lively entertainment and welcoming space add up to a memorable experience, and the place now serves hearty breakfasts. Some menu items miss the mark for a few reviewers, such as hibiscus tea tasting off and a Lebanese burger with a cold bun and non-Lebanese ketchup, though the cashier was super nice. Drinks can be pricey, but the live sound, fresh flavors, cute and roomy space and student-friendly budgets keep it appealing. The venue suits comedy nights, conferences and other social events, and the overall sentiment is that Kawalees is a hidden gem with lovely people, amazing shows and good food.View restaurant profile
