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.
So delicious I even forgot to take pictures of the kafta !! The hommos, muhamara & fattoush felt like they were home made. Fair price & cozy athmosphere :) would definitely go back again & again !
I used to go once every 2 weeks but they have become political jumping on the GAZA bandwagon
I come for the food but now I have found others that do not espouse political views

We decided to go small plates / entres instead of getting main courses. Everything was tasty & reminded me of dining in a good Lebanese restaurant in the Middle East. Wish they allowed to order one lamp chop as listed on the menu instead of insisting minimum 2 (kinda deceiving- they should just change the menu to list 2 chops instead of singular).
Waiter is from France/ Algeria. We paid a nice tip for his friendly & attentive service. Great ambience.
Expérience gustative incroyable, les plats sont très savoureux, c'est fin, & les portions sont plus que raisonnables.
Nous avons passé un beau moment, dans un cadre magnifique.
C'est un voyage pour les papilles!
Ah my favorite Middle Eastren resto.
Sometimes I wish I never tried it because now I have to drive for 45 minutes each way.
Every big milestone or celebration we book there, kids love it too.
The fatoush is to die for.
It's pricy & is expected of high end resto.
It's a small space but they still manage to fit a lot of tables.
Their fattoush was one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know salad could taste so good. Rakakat were also great. I liked the kafta. The lamb shank was good. Kibbe labniye was not for me. Moubammara was also awesome. My friends really loved the hummus kawarma but I thought it was okay. Very cute decor & I love the coke alternative products they have 🤘🤘🤘

An intimate restaurant with incredible food! Still dreaming about the mouhammara (walnut spread)! Everything we had was delicious. Staff were friendly & atmosphere was vibrant. We will surely return on our next visit to Montreal :)
Incredible food. I have been hooked by a friend & keep bringing more & more people to try & they all keep on adding this to their list of best place in town.'I can bring my parents here when they're out of town'. Great place to have some food & laughs with your girls or some flavorful drinks with your loved one before a night out. Highly recommend & I cannot get over the consistency of the quality everything has. 100/10

Had an amazing dining experience at KazaMaza. Each dish was phenomenal & bursting with flavour. Our attentive waiter, Eric, ensured everything was perfect & the food came out quickly. The cozy, dimly lit atmosphere set the stage for a memorable night. Highly recommended-we'll definitely be back.
Overall we had a lovely dinner here. The place was intimate & charming. Although I thought the tables were a bit too close to each other. We started with the fattouche salad & the baba ghanoush which were both solid options. For our mains we got the lamb shank (fattet mawzat) & the kefta karaz. The lamb shank was our favourite dish as it was fall off the bone & the yogurt sauce complimented it nicely. The kefta karaz was good but reminded me of ikea meatballs since the cranberry sauce reminded of the lingonberry jam. It was still very good but not our fave. The portions were generous & the price was very affordable. All dishes were delicious but nothing blew me away. Would definitely come back though!
I highly recommend this Lebanese restaurant - the food so magical & tasty !
The staff Ahmed was very attentive, the food is fresh & tasty, & dishes are served quickly.
