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.
Une belle découverture! Ambiance chaleureuse & feutrée . Nourriture excellente à un prix vraiment raisonnable. Ma deuxième visite en 2 semaines & il est certain que je recommanderai à tous mes amis. Génial!
Tout était vraiment bon & le service est vraiment super, j'y retournerai encore & encore. Juste une petite remarque pour les cigares au fromage qui étaient un peu trop salé. Sinon tout était parfait.
Service impeccable, nourriture savoureuse, ambiance agréable mais vraiment trop bruyant à l'heure à laquelle nous sommes venus.... Nous avons malgré tout passé excellente soirée & nous reviendrons sans aucun doute ! Vous faites partie de nos restaurants préférés :)

Delicious food, amazing prices. I love going there & ordering several different plates. I recommend starting with a fatouch salad & humus - just so good.
Recommended by a local, this place is def. underrated & underhyped (though maybe it's actually a good thing :) ). Food is amazing, people are really quick & sweet. Vibe is also there. Definitely coming again with more people!

Réservation pour 2 personnes faite pour 19h30, table prête à 20h. Apéros, entrées, repas très bons. Serveuse revient pour desservir, casse mon verre de vin pas terminé, m'en ramène un vide(!) Commande du dessert & là on nous demande si ça nous dérange de quitter notre table pour manger le dessert au bar(!) Nous avons annulé le dessert & demandé la facture. On a eu droit à l'air bête de la part de la serveuse puis elle a demandé aux filles d'à côté de se déplacer au bar elles aussi. Manque de jugement de la part du personnel ou l'administration du restaurant ne sait pas faire rouler la salle à manger avec les réservations mais dans les deux cas c'est pas le problème des clients. Je vais y repenser deux fois avant d'y retourner.
The food was great! Service was disappointing.... Our server forgot to bring our drinks... she didn't seem to want to answer questions about the menu- & then once the food came she never came back once to check on us... we had to go to the bartender to ask for to go boxes as well as to order dessert... kinda felt not great.
