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.
Great middle eastern restaurant for sharing plates! They even have arak & almaza to pair with food. Loved the pickles & all the food was very authentic & delicious
Tried a lot of new items, everything was delicious. My favourites were the salad, hummus, & lamb shank. Table fav was the bbq shrimp! Everyone liked the fried cheese too , but it was very salty
Great place to have middle eastern food! Do reserve in advance because the restaurant filled up fast in the evening during weekends. Overall it is delicious & definitely & service is ok, nothing outstanding.
The restaurant was quite good, with fresh & flavorful dishes that were satisfying. The service was acceptable. It's a nice spot for a meal, slightly above average, & worth a visit.

Quel plaisir d'être bien accueilli ! Les serveuses très polies & souriantes. Mention spéciale pour le lyonnais qui a pris nos commandes, nous a servi & qui était adorable & efficace ! La nourriture est vraiment excellente, nous avions envie de tout goûter. On nous a également offert le thé en fin de repas.
One of my favourite middle eastern restaurants in the city. I recommend all my friends to eat here. My favourite dish was the lamb, tahini sauce with the rice. I still dream about that dish. Price for the dishes were reasonable. Service was very good & fast. Highly recommend if you love middle eastern food or you're just looking for something different to try.
If you were a foodie who love try amazing food, here will have an excellent experience with Middle-Eastern cuisine. Had hummus, Fattouche ,keftas & FATTET MAKDOUS. Pretty much love all the dishes:) worth to try
Excellente cuisine, tous les plats étaient bien présentés & surtout savoureux. C'est dommage que le local soit si petit, cela limite les réservations à 1h30 par table, ce qui était un peu expéditif.
