J'étais départagée sur y aller ou non. J'y ai été pour la première fois, il y a une semaine. Je suis surprise des commentaires, car j'ai passé un bon moment. La nourriture était bien, les boissons également. Les prix sont représentatifs de l'emplacement & le genre d'endroit. Le décor est MAGNIFIQUE. & props au Dj , il a bien mixé & à grandement contribué au bon déroulement de la soirée. Le staffe cette soirée-la n'était pas snobe ou autre. Je recommanderais personnellement.
Booked a private room at this hookah place, planning to puff on a cigar or a shisha with friends & have a good conversation. Unfortunately, the place was bustling, & the room was dark. They had a live DJ playing music at a very high volume, so loud that the waitress was unable to hear us & mistook our orders several times. Due to the mix-ups, we didn't order any food, yet the drinks & cigar were a bit costly.

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!
Je suis allé à cette place quelques fois parce que je trouve que la shisha est bonne, la musique est bonne & le service est correct d'habitude mais cette fois-ci j'ai été très déçue de l'expérience. J'ai fait une réservation sur OpenTable plusieurs jours d'avance pour que finalement quand j'arrive le bouncer nous dise qu'il ne prennent pas en compte les réservations open table & que soit disant ça dit sur leur site que tu dois réserver là-dessus & recevoir un code QR sinon la réservation n'est pas valide. Le bouncer a dit lui même que cette situation arrive tout le temps donc pourquoi ils laissent l'option de réserver sur open table, ça n'a aucun sens, puisque pourquoi quelqu'un irait sur le site si l'option open table est disponible directement quand on Google la place. Ils nous ont fait attendre dehors dans le froid pour finalement nous trouver une toute petite table pour trois personnes & qu'au final l'endroit n'était pas si occupé que ça.
It was my first time in this establishment but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the originality of the decor & the atmospheric music. Also, the waiters are kind & smiling, there is a desire to visit this place again .

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.
J'ai passé une belle soirée , le personnel vraiment gentilles les filles sont super gentilles les gars aussi , j'ai trop aimer les dessert les cocktails je recommande vraiment ❤️ meilleur endroit
Celebrated my birthday at Kenza. I made my reservation two weeks ahead, & they told me there is a minimum requirement fee that everyone pays at least 100$ on the weekend. We were 14 people. This includes food, shisha, & drinks/bottles. I said no problem we will be doing all of that. I asked if possible to have a private room, they said no because we cant eat there, thats only for shisha & drinks. Again, i stated we will be doing all of that & they said that is fine & we can do it at our table. The day of my reservation, an hour before, they call me to tell me we cannot shisha where we will be seated during dinner & that they will bring us to another room because of a new rule. I had four tables reserved. Only gave us 2 food menus & 2 cocktail menus. A few people were going out to smoke, the employees cleared that table without making sure with us if we were done. The individuals that stepped out came back to all their drinks, food cleared off. When it came to shisha they stated they did not have room for my group, & if 14 people go to the area thats one shisha per person, therefore 14 shishas. When it was time for the bill we asked for separate bills, they stated they cannot give us separate bills & can only split the bill 3 ways. We made our way to the shisha room, only 6 people went. The rest of the party left. Later in the night the waitress comes to us & stated she forgot to add another table to our bill (the table they rushed to clear). Every time we had a question no one knew the answer & they would go bring a different person who would tell us something else. Overall, wasn't the best experience, really was hoping it to be different. Luckily, my friends & family are the ones that made sure I still had a good time.
