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 delivers authentic Lebanese and Middle Eastern cooking with generous portions and good value, featuring standout dishes like the lamb shank, hummus, muhammara, and kefta, all enjoyed in a warm, lively setting. The menu is varied and inclusive of vegetarian options, and the atmosphere feels welcoming and social, making it a popular spot for friends and families. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and friendliness, though on busy nights the space can feel crowded and the noise level high. A few visits note inconsistent dishes or questions about gluten free options and pita quality, but most diners leave impressed and eager to return. Overall, Kazamaza is seen as a top choice in town for flavorful, well-prepared Lebanese fare with friendly service and a cozy vibe, and reservations are wise when it's busy.
La bouffe était extraordinaire, mais un peu chère, car les portions sont petites. Le décor était sympa, mais l'espace trop petit pour les nombre de tables & ca faisait une cacophonie infernal. On avait du mal a avoir une conversation, car il fallait presque crier pour s'entendre.
Très belle découverte !
Les mezzés étaient excellents, mais nous avons surtout été impressionnées par le service. Très affable & présent juste quand il fallait, les conseils pour le choix du vin, des plats & des portions étaient parfaits.
Merci !

This is the second time I visit kazamaza & the Lebanese food is really good , everything from the mezze which include the humus the fattoush salad the wine leaves tastes great & the main dishes like the spicy saumon & the fatteh ( lamb with yogurt) are excellent , the only thing is it gets busy during Saturday & the noise is high but the service is excellent anf the food tasty so the noise seems not important !
Nous étions quatre convives, toutes ravies de notre repas. Les mets sont délicieux, le cadre agréable, la carte des vins abordable & le rapport qualité/prix excellent. Une adresse à retenir.

Thanks to the reviews on this site, I decided to give this restaurant a try. We ordered several appetizers, namely fattouche, hummus kawarma , kebbe, raqaqat, arayes kefta. All were excellent although the hummus was not one of our favorites. The servings sizes were very decent. As main dishes we ordered makanek & kebab bil karaz which were absolutely mouth watering. All in all everything was incredibly delicious & a great value for your dollar. There is also entertainment however I cannot comment on this because I was on my way out as it began. This has become one of my favorite restaurants. Will definitely go back.
I was kicked out by the restaurant manger last night, because I was stuck in traffic, he told me we don't have place tonight for you. I recommend for useless people, who have no taste for food.

Tout simplement mon resto préféré à Montréal. J'y retourne bientôt pour le kefta aux pistaches, les saucisses grillées aux noix de pin & le labneh. Moins cher que son voisin Damas mais aussi bon sinon meilleur. Ambiance chaleureuse & propice aux tête-à-tête. Un must pour tout amateur de cuisine moyen orientale.
Quel bonheur de découvrir un tel endroit. Absolument tout ce que j'y ai goûté était dé-li-cieux & d'un tel raffinement.
J'ai par la suite, par curiosité, été explorer ce qu'on en avait dit du côté des critiques gstronomiques. Unanimité aussi, de leur côté, pour mon coup de coeur. Vous irez lire Robert Beauchemin de la Presse, ou les critiques dans VOIR & La Gazatte pour vous mettre l'eau à la bouche.
J'ai donc adopté ce petit resto dont également le chaleureux décor, aux touches originales, m'a onquise; tout comme la gentillesse d'un des proprios Fady, un artiste dans l'âme qui a mis, de toute évidence toute sa poésie & son talent pour créer un espace où il est bon d'être le temps d'un excellent repas, seul ou avec d'autres.
