A Middle Eastern restaurant specializing in cold and hot mezzes (small plates to share), kefta brochettes (minced lamb, nuts, onions and spices), various meat and poultry dishes as well as vegetarian specialties. Weekend brunch.
Kazamaza is viewed as a bustling, welcoming spot for Lebanese and Middle Eastern flavors, offering generous portions, a wide mezze and main lineup, and solid value. The food is repeatedly praised for authenticity and bold spices, with standout dishes such as hummus, fattoush, baba ganoush, kafta, lamb shank, rekakat cheese rolls, and kebbeh; the cocktail list and Arak options also get mentions. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively with warm decor, though it can be very noisy and seating tight when busy, and online reservations or table arrangements can be confusing. Service is often highlighted as fast, attentive and friendly, but a few experiences report slow or impersonal service and limited knowledge on dietary needs, plus occasional issues like cold pita or uneven portions and, in rare cases, hair in a glass. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall impression is a memorable, shareable dining experience with flavorful, well prepared food and good value that makes many diners eager to return.
On y a dîné entre copines & on a toutes adoré nos plats ! Les portions sont généreuses & vraiment délicieuses. Le service était aussi très attentionné. Excellent rapport qualité-prix, je recommande fortement 😊
Excellent, amazing delicious food! The flavors are rich & layered, it's really an experience for the palate. We kept saying « Humm that's so good » for everything we tasted! I especially recommend the M'HALABIÉ, it's a light texture rich in flavors, orange blossom, pistachios & rose jam on the top! The ambiance was really nice too! It was cozy & chic, with beautiful oriental lamps & music! I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends!

Une excellente expérience chez Kazamaza !
La nourriture est délicieuse, les quantités très généreuses, & les saveurs vraiment authentiques.
Un merci spécial à Hanin, qui nous a servis avec beaucoup de douceur, de professionnalisme & de sympathie.
Son service a rendu notre visite encore plus agréable.
I'm not sure what the dish was called, but if the chicken comes grilled in triangle pieces you've hit jackpot. Whoever made it knows exactly what they're doing 100%
Enjoyed the rest of the food too & we ate well for a group of nine people. The place isn't huge so a group that size is definitely a tight fit but they made it work for us just great.
The staff are very nice & the overall atmosphere was cozy & warm for an early winter night. Would definitely recommend this place to others, & will definitely return for more of that chicken in the future.
J'aime beaucoup ce restaurant, la carte est tres belle beaucoup de bon choix,
L'agneau est super bon, large choix de boissons
Je recommande fortement & je reviens
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.

Un excellent restaurant ! Une des meilleures cuisines de Montréal sans aucun doute ! Nous nous sommes régalés ! Tous les serveurs étaient aux petits soins, les intolérances & allergies sont très bien prises en compte, les plats sentent vraiment le fait maison & sont divins, le lieu est chaleureux. On se croirait dîner chez des amis ! Nous avons passé un superbe moment ! Je recommande très vivement !!!!
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
Had an amazing dining experience at KazaMaza. Each dish was phenomenal & bursting with flavour. Our attentive waiter, Eric, ensured everything was perfect & the food came out quickly. The cozy, dimly lit atmosphere set the stage for a memorable night. Highly recommended-we'll definitely be back.

I highly recommend this Lebanese restaurant - the food so magical & tasty !
The staff Ahmed was very attentive, the food is fresh & tasty, & dishes are served quickly.
Excellent resto! Je recommande vivement. Les serveurs sont hyper gentils & serviables. La bouffe est hyper bonne. L'ambiance & la deco sont wow. Un seul point c'est qu'on a oublié de me mettre dans ma boîte la sauce à lail que je n'avais pas terminé (qui est dailleurs trop bonne) alors que j'avais demandé de tout emporter ce que je n'avais pas pu finir.
It was one of the best experiences that we had in Montreal. The food, service, & atmosphere are perfect. I have to say congratulations for this perfect restaurant to the owner. Most recommended ones are Kefta Remmen & Kefta Karaz.I cannot find anything to criticize about.
One of my favourite middle eastern restaurants in the city. I recommend all my friends to eat here. My favourite dish was the lamb, tahini sauce with the rice. I still dream about that dish. Price for the dishes were reasonable. Service was very good & fast. Highly recommend if you love middle eastern food or you're just looking for something different to try.

Très belle découverte! Nous avons fait confiance à notre serveur pour notre sélection de plats & de vin. Tout était incroyablement savoureux & les portion étaient justes! En plus de bien connaître son menu & de faire d'excellents choix, notre serveur a été extrêmement aimable & serviable! Nous avons mangé sur la charmante petite terrasse & avons déjà hâte d'y retourner en saison froide pour profiter de l'ambiance chaleureuse de la salle à manger! Je recommande vivement!
