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.
Nous avons tous adoré notre soirée. L'accueil, le service... tout le monde était attentionné. & les plats & saveurs étaient d'une grande qualité, très savoureux... & le jarret d'agneau, menoum, il fondait dans la bouche. Nous reviendrons !
We absolutely loved our entire experience! From the delicious food to the beautiful ambiance to the impeccable service. Our waitress was super helpful in helping us decide the dishes to order & it didn't disappoint! I will most definitely return!

Très bonne cuisine, service courtois & empressé. Seul bémol: éviter la visite avec personnes ayant problèmes de genoux. Les toilettes sont au sous-sol & très sombres & l'escalier étroit. Sinon, une bien belle découverte, à renouveler hiver comme été. Terrasse animée & tous les convives avaient l'air heureux d'y être, toujours bon signe.
Les mézzés choisis étaient délicieux. Le service courtois & efficace. Seul bémol: avec ma copine, nous avons questionné le fait de devoir partir après 1 heure 30 alors que le restaurant était au 3/4 vide au moment de partir (à 19h).
Je suis une abonnée à Kazamaza car j'y vais fréquemment. Toujours excellent avec une belle ambiance.
À chaque fois que j'y vais avec de nouveaux invités, ils sont enchantés.
Je recommande fortement une sortie à ce restaurant.

The food was really delicious. The service was good, although somewhat slow, but the place was very busy. Everyone was really nice. I like the restaurant very much, but it is very noisy.
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.

La nourriture était excellente, mais nous avons été très déçus du service. On ne nous a rien proposé à boire pendant plus d'une heure & le serveur a attendu la fermeture de la cuisine avant de prendre nos commandes que nous étions prêts à commander depuis longtemps. Malheureusement, je ne recommanderais ce restaurant à personne d'autre pour cette raison.
