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.
What a great place! I really love the cozy atmosphere & i felt like i could sit there for hours & eat soo much food. I recommend if you are looking for a filling middle eastern meal! you will not be disappointed. If you are parking on the street i would recommend downloading the P Mobile service app on your phone to easily pay as well :)
Insanely good. I went last night & the power went out mid way through service but the whole staff was great & kept tending to tables & sending out food. Everyone clapped when power was restored :) I wish they sold their mouhammara in tubs bc I would buy it buy the lb if I could.

A really fantastic experience. Party of 4 & we tried & shared 4 appetizers & 4 mains, & all of us liked everything immensely. Food was very very good. Service was super friendly & fast & we were all very impressed.
Nice atmosphere, but too many table for the size of space. The lanes between tables are so narrow that our chairs must have been tripped by the waiting staff a dozen times! We also felt hurried out when dessert time came. We found the food heavy compared to other Lebanese restaurants. I ended up with indigestion that night.
Authentic, succulent, délicieux, abordable. J'ai retournerai, c'est sûr & j'en parle à tous sur ma expérience extraordinaire dans ce resto. L'agneau, une délice, le service impeccable & presque personnalisé. Un gros merci!
Best restaurant in town! One of the only restaurant that I can go eat once a week without getting bored of the food from how amazing it is! I always recommmend it to anyone i know !!
So far this place is the best Arabic restaurant we have been to in Montreal. Food is amazing, Lebanese wine was also really good, the place is small & cozy. I definitely recommend !
J'ai adoré chaque plat qu'on nous a amené. On avait commandé vraiment trop de bouffe (4 entrées & 2 plats) pour deux personnes mais on a tout dévoré. Les prix sont très raisonnables, ça fait du bien d'en avoir pour son argent, ce qui me semble difficile dans les restaurants de nos jours. Le service était courtois, rapide, rien d'exceptionnel mais tout à fait correct. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, on a envie de s'y attabler. Je ne dirais pas que c'est le resto des grandes occasions mais pour une bonne bouffe généreuse & savoureuse, je recommande. Personnellement, m'asseoir 3h au resto, ça ne m'intéresse pas trop. Chez Kaza Maza, 1h30-2h max & vous serez sortis.
I've been to this place for more than 10 years, & I was pretty disappointed last time. Pretty standard Lebanese fare, no dish really stood out. As others commented, it was a bit too salty & sweet. You'll find better cheaper food at cafe Teta & an elevated experience at Damas.
Absolutely the best restaurant in Montreal hands-down super authentic food extremely cheap & amazing vibe & service. We need more places like this in Montreal!
Gros groupe de 10-12 personnes qui parlaient bien trop fort & qui criaient . À gâché notre soirée. Personnel ne leur a rien dit & nous a ignoré lorsqu'on leur en a parlé.
