Review Summary

Across reviews, Kif Kif is described as a warmly inviting spot with stylish, comfortable decor and a lively yet welcoming atmosphere, and staff are repeatedly praised for attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel at home. The food stands out for hummus and pita, a range of mezze and kebabs, and seafood, with many noting creative twists and a Persian influence that elevates the dining experience; babka and other desserts are popular, and cocktails and wine are also well received. Portions and value are mixed, with some guests finding portions generous and others finding dishes small for the price, while a few plates such as halloumi or certain mains receive more mixed feedback. The overall impression is that Kif Kif offers a memorable, well designed dining experience with thoughtful execution and a clear sense of care from the team, and many reviewers say they will return for special occasions or future meals. A few caveats appear, including occasional rush service, loud acoustics, and charges for extra pita, but these are outweighed by the hospitality, flavor, and vibrant atmosphere, with Sundays sometimes featuring a DJ night.

I had the most amazing experience at Kif Kif! I went with friends & from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. We were greeted right at the entrance & everyone was incredibly kind & attentive throughout the evening.

The food was absolutely incredible! This is by far the best hummus & pita I have ever had, & we genuinely loved every single dish we ordered. You can really feel the care & quality that goes into the food. I also highly recommend the drinks. The Rose Petal & the Green Mirage were both amazing & such a perfect addition to the meal!

This is hands down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurant I have been to. I will definitely be coming back!

Recently, my team & I booked a private room at Kif-Kif, & I have to say, we had such a wonderful time. The service was incredible from start to finish.

Emily, the co-owner, was absolutely fantastic: super fast, responsive, & incredibly accommodating. She truly went above & beyond, especially with the beautiful decorations in the room we booked. Her attention to detail & commitment to great customer service really stood out.

The rest of the staff were equally impressive; very attentive, responsive, & welcoming throughout the evening. The décor was great, the atmosphere was warm & fun, & above all, the food was absolutely delicious.

10 out of 10. I cannot recommend Kif-Kif enough. We're already looking forward to going back, both personally & as a team. Thank you so much to Emily & the entire Kif-Kif team for such a wonderful evening!

I had an amazing experience at KifKif. The service was very good, with all the staff attentive & making sure we enjoyed the experience. The place itself is beautiful, a nice atmosphere with cool Israeli pictures. The food itself was delicious, amazing hummus, fluffy warm pita & the salmon skewer was delicious! The only thing is the portions are pretty small for the price, so you need a lot of dishes. The halloumi also was a little rubbery.
I would definitely go back for a special occasion!

Go for the pita & hummus, stay for the babka! From the moment we walked in, the hostess, Nadine, treated us like kings & queens. The vibe is cool, the food & service were great, drinks were flowing, & the babka is a must! Try & share all the dishes for the perfect middle eastern dining experience. We went for my birthday celebration, & they truly stepped up their game to make it special for me. Kif Kif is a MUST! Go today, thank me tomorrow!

Had a fantastic girls' night at Kif Kif! The food, service, & overall vibe were all excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, with a fun, lively atmosphere. Cocktails & wine were great. I had the chicken skewers with an amazing crunchy slaw, & also got to taste some delicious hummus with pita. The chocolate babka was a hit. Nidiné was a wonderful hostess & made the experience even better. Would absolutely recommend!

Good experience at Kifkif, could have been great.
The schnitzel, the grilled zucchinis, hummus & eggplant dips were really good. The salmon crudo was also super fresh & tasty.
We did feel like the service felt rushy sometimes. Taking out the plate right after we finished the last bite is not very pleasant. Why the rush, I would have loved to get another spoon of the green sauce!

The desserts were a miss because we did not have the full description : the chocolate terrine was actually chocolate & olive oil (bold combination but unfortunately not to our taste), the almond cake was actually almond & labneh (again not really to our taste).

The babka however was a great way to finish the night.

Kif Kif à Westmount est tout simplement exceptionnel. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une chaleur & une attention remarquables. Ezra a été incroyable, attentionné & professionnel, & nous a véritablement traités comme des rois. Nedine nous a accueillis avec une grande gentillesse & un sourire qui met immédiatement à l'aise. Momo a également été fantastique comme serveur, attentif & chaleureux, contribuant à une expérience impeccable.

& que dire de Pierre, le gérant. Élégant dans son beau costume, il prenait le temps de saluer les invités & de s'assurer que tout se passait parfaitement. On sent une vraie passion & un grand souci du détail dans chaque geste.

Le service, l'ambiance & l'expérience globale étaient irréprochables. Kif Kif est sans aucun doute une nouvelle adresse incontournable à Westmount. Bravo à toute l'équipe.

Délicieux!

Superbe expérience ! Nous étions un groupe de 6 personnes de tous âges & tout le monde a été conquis. Les plats sont savoureux & explosent de saveurs. Mention spéciale pour le service : bien que l'accueil se soit fait en anglais, nous avons pu passer au français une fois à table sans problème. Nous avons partagé plusieurs entrées, plats & quatre desserts, le tout accompagné d'excellents cocktails & de très bons vins au verre. On y retournera, c'est certain !

The service was noticeably slow, & the food took a very long time to arrive. The menu seems to be aiming for Middle Eastern flavors, but the execution didn't quite land, the dishes looked the part but lacked the depth & authenticity in taste. For the price point, it felt overpriced, especially when there are many other Middle Eastern spots nearby that offer far better flavor & value

Overpriced, food was bland, & imagine having to pay 5$ for an extra pita! I've been to so many authentic middle eastern restaurants, they offer unlimited free fresh pita with the food! Cheap owners!

Maybe 1* is harsh, but I'm gonna start calling it the'ratan chair' phenomenon. Go to a place where the chairs are ratan & they'll overcharge you for mid food & service, 9 times out of 10.

Sampled: vegetable slaw, pita with tomato & cheese-like a mini pizza, eggplant spread-served with pita, chicken skewers with yogurt sauce, beet salad, chocolate babka. Meal was great! Went early so it was quiet. Lovely ambience. Looking forward to trying their lunch menu.

We loved the food & atmosphere here! We sat at the bar & talked to the bartender a lot, she was super attentive! The muhammara & eggplant dips were delicious. We got the schnitzel as our main & loved that too! We're already planning to come back to try more things on the menu.
