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.
This was one my favourite places in Montreal, I went 2 days ago the food tasted really weird & not tasty at all like it used to be, meat wasn't good, hummus with meat wasn't good, something was wrong with either the meat or the seasoning used. I ordered Mawzat Friki & kafta karaz & both tasted equally bad. Very disappointed, I hope it was just a one bad experience. It wasn't just me my girlfriend felt the same too
What a'bijou' on avenue du Park!
Food is so excellent, tasty, fills you with flavours & takes you places you never travelled before while sitting at the heart of Montreal. I went there unsure of what to expect & left with great memories & amazing taste!
Must visit & absolutely one of the icons of the street in the area.
Great Lebanese food, super tasty especially the kefta karaz. A great place to enjoys lots of food with people. The seating arrangement could be better though, & loud overall.
We decided to go small plates / entres instead of getting main courses. Everything was tasty & reminded me of dining in a good Lebanese restaurant in the Middle East. Wish they allowed to order one lamp chop as listed on the menu instead of insisting minimum 2 (kinda deceiving- they should just change the menu to list 2 chops instead of singular).
Waiter is from France/ Algeria. We paid a nice tip for his friendly & attentive service. Great ambience.

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.
Food is outstanding!! If you are looking for amazing Lebanese food, look no further. It's super tasty, authentic & the service is A1. Definitely in the top 10 restaurants in Mtl in my opinion!
The food was so good! We took a few mezze & bigger plates, with arak & wine. The desserts too were tasty, would definitely recommend! The service was also excellent, very friendly & helpful staff, could answer questions & make suggestions when we asked. Very clean also.
Yummy Lebanese food. We were visting from Ottawa (where there is a shawarma place at every corner) but I had yet to experience middle eastern food like this! Everything tasted fresh, healthy, & tasty (especiallytha fattouche salad). Two of us shared four plates & we did not feel like we over-ate. Service was great - plates started arriving within minutes of ordering, & were cleared as soon as they were empty. Atmosphere is cozy, but it felt like a tight space (mainly for adults). I will definitely visit again!
Amazing middle eastern Lebanese cuisine. The best we've had in Montreal so far. Not very fancy (& subsequently reasonable) but authentic delicious clean healthy food. Fattoush & egg plant fatteh (makdous) to die for!! Cherry (karaz) Kafta dish so unique & tasty. Excellent dining experience. Reserve before going, it can get crowded, as it is justifiably popular. A bit out of downtown, but a short Uber would do it, or a 30min walk in good weather. Enjoy!

Kaza Maza never disappoints. The kibbe neyeh is utterly delicious, as is the hindbe. We also enjoyed the lebne & baba ghanoush very much. I thought the kibbe "footballs" with spinach very tasty, though my date was only so so on them. Overall a wonderful meal.
