Malheureusement, le personnel n'était ni aimable ni serviable. Leur attitude impolie a rendu l'expérience tellement désagréable que je n'ai pas pu rester ni manger, malgré la bonne réputation de la cuisine.

Absolutely incredible! Estakoza in Montreal serves the freshest, most flavorful seafood I've ever had. The lobster & shrimp were perfectly cooked, seasoned to perfection, & bursting with taste. The staff were warm, welcoming, & made the whole experience even better. A must-visit spot for seafood lovers-I'll definitely be back!
On s'est fait plaisir & on a essayé de varier & goûter à tout, j'ai adoré les moules & surtout leur sauce, les crevettes & leur crème, la saule & les calamars fris, le reste était un peu fade mais on a bien mangé, la facture par contre elle peut vite monter si on veut des quantités raisonnable.
Excellente expérience au restaurant Estakoza! Nous avons goûté au Pieuvre grillé, aux crevettes, au homard & à la Dorade grillée - tout était ultra frais & plein de saveurs. Très bonne qualité, prix raisonnables & ambiance conviviale. Je recommande vivement !'

The food was ok , the octopus was a little over cooked & burnt, the calamari was good so as the shrimps. The rice is not that great but good in general.
Absolutely incredible experience! The seafood was bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection - truly some of the best Egyptian cuisine/flavours we've ever had. The staff were warm & attentive, the chefs clearly masters of their craft, & the owner made us feel genuinely welcomed. The dinning room area is spotless! A hidden gem that deserves all the praise! Can't wait to be back!
Great spot for fresh seafood. Selected our favorites items from the display, the price was based on weight, then decided on the cooking style & sauce. The team was very helpful, as we were unfamiliar with this approach of serving. Every dish was expertly prepared & bursting with flavor. Since they didn't provide a running total of the order, excessive choices can certainly lead to a significant bill.
