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.
It's our third time we used to love the restaurant! Unfortunately yesterday's visit was horrible! From the reception at the door & how our table was assigned to us,they sent us to the table showing us where to sit from far !!! the server wasn't happy we didn't like our table & wanted to change so came late to take the order! Then the food…. Unfortunately were so sorry & disappointed!!!!!
Excellent resto! Je recommande vivement. Les serveurs sont hyper gentils & serviables. La bouffe est hyper bonne. L'ambiance & la deco sont wow. Un seul point c'est qu'on a oublié de me mettre dans ma boîte la sauce à lail que je n'avais pas terminé (qui est dailleurs trop bonne) alors que j'avais demandé de tout emporter ce que je n'avais pas pu finir.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants in town. Food was great especially Riach, grilled chicken, hummus & baba Ganouj, the service is great & the staff are very friendly. Cozy place & nice ambience
It was one of the best experiences that we had in Montreal. The food, service, & atmosphere are perfect. I have to say congratulations for this perfect restaurant to the owner. Most recommended ones are Kefta Remmen & Kefta Karaz.I cannot find anything to criticize about.
Kaza Maza est une excellente adresse pour déguster une cuisine libanaise savoureuse & authentique. Les plats sont délicieux, bien épicés & préparés avec soin. Le service est chaleureux & efficace, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. L'ambiance est conviviale & animée, bien que parfois un peu trop bruyante. Si vous cherchez un endroit où bien manger dans une atmosphère vivante, c'est une très bonne option !
Overall, happy with my dinner at this restaurant. The service in the beginning was a little chaotic - didn't get properly seated until a half hour past my reservation. Granted, it was very busy around 8:30 PM. The food itself was great - very flavorful & savoury. The atmosphere was nice too, with very homey decor & lots of people.
Food was good but service was below average. Even though there were empty table next to window, we were asked to sit in the corner next to heating with very limited space. The waiter was not very attentive as if he was forced to do the job but If I ever go back it would be just for food & it's a very casual place so any attire would be sufficient enough.
Food is outstanding!! If you are looking for amazing Lebanese food, look no further. It's super tasty, authentic & the service is A1. Definitely in the top 10 restaurants in Mtl in my opinion!

This place is my new discovery, & let me tell you something, I am in love with it. The food & staff were beyond amazing, but another thing that was important to me, & was truly satisfying was the attention to details. Everything was thoughtfully designed: the music, the interior decor & even the tableware all gave off a distinct Middle Eastern vibe.
It's a lovely, authentic, & cozy restaurant where you can have a beautiful middle-eastern experience! Staff are super friendly & nice, & the vibe is just great. Just treat yourself with trying this place once & you will not regret. Just keep in mind that it's usually busy; we went there on a Tuesday night & it was all full (we had a reservation). So make sure you make a reservation beforehand.
