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.
Overall, Kenza Lounge is seen as a stylish and lively spot with great drinks and delicious food, offering generous portions that work well for groups. The atmosphere is described as warm and energetic, making it a popular choice for a night out in Montreal, with good music and a welcoming vibe. The menu earns praise for variety and quality, including filet mignon, salmon, mushroom tagliatelle, and a mixed grilled platter, with many noting solid value for the price. Service is a frequent highlight, described as attentive, friendly, and professional, though a few guests report moments of pressure to order, slower service during busy times, or pacing that felt off. The shisha experience is often singled out as on point, and the entry staff and other team members contribute to a hospitable welcome, while some reviews mention price concerns, lighting issues, or seating discomfort. With these mixed notes, Kenza Lounge is viewed as a place to celebrate, relax, and enjoy a memorable evening, with many guests planning to return to experience the same atmosphere and service.
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.
VERY disappointing experience. DO NOT recommend.
My friends & I visited Kenza Lounge on Friday January 9 & the experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived... The bouncer's attitude was genuinely unacceptable, rude, dismissive, & acting as if he owned the place. Even once inside, the receptionist did not acknowledge us at all. She did not ask if we had a reservation, did not greet us, & literally ignored us for about five minutes while standing right in front of us, then walked away to do something else without saying a word. We were not even brought to our table by staff.. we had to ask a friend who was already inside to guide us to our table!!! This is completely unprofessional & set an even worse tone from the beginning.
Inside, the music was so loud that even the waitress could not hear us. I understand it is a lounge, but staff still need to be able to communicate with their clients!! Turning the volume down slightly would not ruin the vibe & it would make the service actually workable & more enjoyable!
The state of the bathrooms was another major issue. When we arrived, both toilets were clogged & overflowing with water, urine, & toilet paper. It was extremely unhygienic & honestly disgusting!! An employee was notified immediately yet it still took more than half an hour for anything to get done.
Overall, this was a very poor & underwhelming visit for a place that actually looks nice inside. The attitude of the bouncer, the receptionist ignoring us, the unbearable music volume, & the poorly maintained bathrooms completely ruined the night. I will not be coming back & I do not recommend this place to anyone expecting DECENT service or basic cleanliness… please do better.
Food was really good, dj was awesome loved the music he was playing! shisha had no taste we ordered lady killer. Service was horrible we kept looking for our waitress, i waited minimum 25 minutes for a drink so we paid our bill & left. Too bad cuz the place is beautiful & super nice vibe. Maybe next time we come we'll have better service!

**'Absolutely love this place! Kenza Lounge is hands down one of the best spots in downtown Montreal for a chill night out. The vibe is elegant but unpretentious - perfect for enjoying a bottle of champagne, great music, & ciga

Ok so big vibes !
The DJ is very good. BUT the music is way too loud ! You can't really have a conversation unless you're screaming. That's the only ick about this place. But other than that, great place to go with you girls, to take pictures, do shisha & have a cool night. Food wise, I put would 2 starts because MY plate was not good BUT they did adapt for my gluten free allergy so props to them I give 3 stars
Kenza Night Club is an absolute gem! The vibe is electric, with a fantastic mix of Afro & French music that keeps the energy high all night. The service is top-notch; the staff is incredibly polite & attentive, making sure everyone has a great time. If you're looking for a fun night out with excellent music & exceptional service, Kenza is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Can't speak to the food but the vibe & atmosphere were chill & welcoming. Went on a Sunday night to relax before our flight the next day. Wait staff were attentive & let us know in addition to the cocktail menu the bar can make off menu drinks. The drink prices were really reasonable. The only con was doormen/bouncers could spend a little less time hanging out with each other & a little more time checking ID's & opening the door especially considering how not busy it was.
Love the vibes at Kenza Montreal! The decor is stunning, & the food is even better. From the savory tagines to the mouthwatering couscous, every bite is a culinary delight
Outstanding vibe, service & music!! The DJ was awesome! The place was lit! Can't say enough about the delicious food, a great mix of western & middle eastern options! Everything about this place was just perfect! Thank you Kenza :)
