Kaza Maza is one of those rare restaurants that manages to feel both welcoming & exciting the moment you step inside. Located right on Parc Avenue, it offers a warm, inviting space that immediately sets the stage for a memorable meal. The atmosphere is relaxed & friendly, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or family, & the cozy little terrace is a real bonus when the weather is nice.
The food is the star here. Kaza Maza serves a wonderful variety of Middle Eastern dishes that are clearly prepared with care & fresh ingredients. The menu is built for sharing, which is perfect if you love sampling a bit of everything. From vibrant mezze plates to richly spiced mains, every dish bursts with authentic flavor & thoughtful seasoning. It's the kind of food that encourages conversation as you pass plates around the table, making it as social as it is delicious.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality & variety you get, & the service strikes just the right balance-attentive without ever being pushy. Whether you're already a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or simply curious to try something new, Kaza Maza is a must-visit. It's the kind of restaurant you'll want to return to again & again.
Very pleased with the quality & presentation. Service was excellent! Ordered a'Mexican style beer' (Lager served in a cold glass with a rim of salt & lemon juice at the bottom), kebbeh nayyeh (meat tartare), rekakat (cheese rolls, I totally recommend them!), sizzling makanek in pomegranate molasses (sausages), batata (potato) & delicious kefta karaz with fried pita. Recommended portions for 2 people: 3-4 appetizers + 1 main to share.
A true Lebanese gem in Montreal. The food is authentic & well prepared, service is fast & proper, & prices are fair relative to both quality & quantity. The restaurant has a nostalgic Lebanese charm that reminds me of back home.
Incredible food. I have been hooked by a friend & keep bringing more & more people to try & they all keep on adding this to their list of best place in town.'I can bring my parents here when they're out of town'. Great place to have some food & laughs with your girls or some flavorful drinks with your loved one before a night out. Highly recommend & I cannot get over the consistency of the quality everything has. 100/10
Amazing experience. It was so easy to order & everything arrived so quickly despite being a lively Saturday night! The quality of the food & the flavor was out of this world. My Arabic mother has set the bar high when it comes to middle eastern cuisine & even she was amazed & satisfied. I will bring everyone I know to this place. Thank you for your wonderful service & food.
A true gem in the heart of Montreal. I feel like this place isn't raved about enough! Incredible isn't even the word to describe the quality of the menu, its flavours, its dishes- everything. I travel often to the Middle East & this is the closest thing to that. Hate to say it... it's even better!!!!!!!! I would give this place a 12/10. An absolute MUST-GO if you want to experience true high quality middle eastern dishes. Try the lamb hummus, the kibbeh & the Kefta Karaz. Literally there's nothing like it. We were 4 & the bill was 200$ & we ate literally everything!!!!!
The food is decent, but when compared to places like Damas or other similar establishments, it lacks flavor. The quality of service is excellent. Some enhancements are needed for the toilets & basement.
This is our first visit to this restaurant, party of 5.. Dishes we tried: moutabbal, hummus with meat, nakanek, aries, tabbouleh, grilled chicken, fatteh, grilled kafta, & kafta with tahini. I have to admit, we were pleasently surprised with the food. It gets 9/10, & that is the highest I ever rated. Rice with kardamom was excellent so are all the other dishes. I would recommend to anyone who has good taste palette. Just make sure you booked a day or two in advance. Prices can be better though. But not overly priced for the quality.

This Lebanese restaurant is a gem, offering excellent quality food & drinks. The service is great, especially if you arrive early. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere even during the week, contributing to a good overall vibe. We tried various dishes & were impressed by each one, which makes us eager to come back & explore more of the menu.
Great gem of Lebanese food in Montreal! The dishes are priced in the upper echelon relative to other restaurants, but you get quality ingredients & great portion sizes. The braised lamb is simply delicious, & so are the makanek. The restaurant is rightfully always full so I recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere is certainly that of a nice sit down experience, not a fast bite in & out. Service is good & warm, although it can be slightly forgetful when it gets busy. Still very acceptable & hospitable.
