Kenza offers premium selection of shisha and cigars, but more so we focus on the “experience” to enhance the flavour. Located in the heart Montreal on Crescent street opening its doors on July 1st. Kenza offers an elevated gastronomical experience and master piece cocktails.
Kenza Lounge is a stylish and lively Montreal spot with great drinks, solid food and a welcoming atmosphere. Reservations help avoid waits, and groups can enjoy private rooms or celebrate occasions like birthdays with generous portions such as filet mignon, salmon, mushroom tagliatelle and a mixed grilled platter at reasonable prices. The service receives high marks for friendliness and professionalism in many visits, while other experiences note pressure to order, variable timing for service and billing, and occasional slower service during busy periods. The shisha is frequently praised for flavor and consistency, though a few experiences mention issues with lighting or preparation. The music and vibe are described as vibrant, good for a night out with friends, though at times the volume can be very loud. All in all, Kenza Lounge is seen as a top choice for a fun night, birthdays or social evenings, with some visits being particularly memorable and others highlighting opportunities for improvement in seating, service consistency and pace.
Franchement, c'est la première fois qu'on vit une expérience aussi horrible ici alors qu'on vient souvent. 1h30 d'attente pour la nourriture pour au final recevoir des plats froids & carrément immangeables. On n'a même pas pu manger tellement c'était mauvais. La serveuse avait une attitude irrespectueuse & nous parlait mal comme si on dérangeait. & après avoir enfin reçu les plats, on a attendu presque 30 minutes juste pour avoir des ustensiles pendant que la nourriture refroidissait encore plus devant nous. Service désorganisé, aucun professionnalisme & zéro respect pour les clients. Très grosse déception, surtout venant d'un endroit où on allait régulièrement
« Très déçue de mon expérience. J'avais oublié ma pièce d'identité au restaurant & on m'avait demandé de revenir le lendemain pour la récupérer. Je suis donc revenue vers 23h/minuit, mais une fois sur place, on m'a dit qu'ils étaient occupés & que je devais revenir à 3h du matin. Franchement, cela n'était pas raisonnable, surtout que j'avais un vol à prendre. À cause de cette situation & du manque d'organisation, je n'ai pas pu récupérer ma pièce d'identité à temps. »

Started going to Kenza when they first opened a few years back. The music is always so good, great ambiance. The service can be slow at times but nothing too alarming. The workers are very kind & patient. Great place for a girls night, their cocktail menu has a great variety.
We got there & the doorman went on the sidewalk we asked him is it open he didnt reply then we told him can we go in he said open the door yourself & Check. As women this is not how we should be treated especially not first Time customers
There was no wait because I have made reservations. I had my birthday dinner party there. We had a whole room to ourselves which I found it cool. It was my first time but I enjoy the music & the whole vibe. Blueberry mint shesha 10/10. The food could have been cooked more. That was the only disappointment part of the whole experience. I got the spicy margarita 10/10.
Kenza Lounge is a stylish & lively spot with great drinks, delicious food. The vibrant atmosphere makes it perfect for a night out with friends in Montreal.
