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.
Quelle perle ! Quelle ambiance & combien de personnes paient pour la nourriture ! Nul doute que ce type de restaurant fait la richesse d'une ville comme Montréal. Nul doute que je reviendrai plus souvent.
Cousy & warm place , need reservation , since it is not really big & lots of tables
Food was great especially the Kefta Remmen ,
& mint tea & Baklava were excellent ending for the night
definitely recommend it
The food was really delicious. Loved the setting & vibe too. Only two suggestions. A full printed menu would be great to have. Please hire more people to serve the tables. They were very responsive but just way too stretched to attend to the guests.
Kaza Maza était un de mes restaurants préférés, nous y sommes allés pour mon anniversaire hier soir, l'agneau classique était savoureux mais servi presque froid ! Je ne peux pas apprécier une viande à peine tiède. Le service n'est plus bon non plus, mais cela ne me dérange pas. J'ai été tellement déçu :-(
Excellent food; service took a little while to start but our server was very attentive & helpful. Food arrived promptly after we placed our order. Only slightly negative comment was noise level--the acoustics of the room are such that loud voices from other parties seemed to be amplified.
