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.
Had a lovely dinner with our group of 11. Everything was good. The only small comment - it would be great to get hot/warm pita bread instead of in a plastic bags. The breads were cold. But apart from that service & ambience was top notch & the arak cocktail was awesome.
Food (2 people) - baba ghanouj (entrée) - mouhammara (entrée) - kefta (plat principal) - dessert - affordable selections of wine Service - fantastic Atmosphere - cozy & homey Overall the menu was very fairly priced for the taste & portions offered

Setup: Great for a dinner date or with a small group. The restaurant itself is not large so reserving in advance is recommended. Experience: Absolutely delicious & incredibly polite & attentive staff. I still can't get over how good the lamb shank was. The atmosphere was nice, you can expect good overhead lighting with some candles on tables - the overall volume made it easy to hear the person across from you. Will definitely be going again! You can expect to pay about $50 per person for three courses.

Il est impoli de la part de l'administration de mettre un groupe dehors juste parce qu'il y a un autre groupe qui attend ! Simplement prenez moins de réservations!!! Il est certain que je n'y reviens pas & je vais informer mon entourage à ce propos...
Le service est bon & généralement rapide. Quoique parfois insuffisamment chauds, tous les plats sont exquis.
Le choix musical est toujours inhabituel, intéressant, de haute qualité & le volume sonore à un niveau qui permette une conversation agréable.
La place est magnifiques !!! Une ambiance chaleureuse ! Chaque plat à son goût unique😍 Un service exceptionnel, avec des prix vraiment pas cher pour la qualité de la bouffe 5 étoiles. Juste wow 🤩 vous devez venir essayer cet endroit je vous garantis que vous allez revenir. Un gros merci à Fady de son accueil chaleureux.
Un restaurant sans prétention où la saveur explose à chaque bouchée. J'hésitais à prendre le hummus avec la viande, mais ho quelle belle expérience! De loin le meilleur hummus que j'ai mangé. Tout était bon & le service fort sympathique. Le seul bémol est la lumière très forte si vous êtes assis au bar. Nous reviendrons assurément
