Review Summary

Kif Kif is widely celebrated as a vibrant destination in Westmount, drawing consistent praise for its authentic and flavorful Middle Eastern menu. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the freshly baked pita bread, creamy hummus, and standout dishes like the chicken schnitzel, Moroccan cigars, and braised lamb. The restaurant is often noted for its beautiful, aesthetic decor and lively, chic atmosphere, which makes it a popular choice for both celebratory events and casual dinners. While the service is frequently described as warm, attentive, and professional, some diners have noted that the high energy levels and close table arrangement can lead to a noisy environment, and a few guests experienced challenges with dining time limits or service pacing during busier hours. Overall, the combination of high-quality cuisine, a thoughtfully designed space, and a generally welcoming team ensures that most visitors express a strong desire to return.

A group of us were visiting Montréal from Vancouver & NY. We were so impressed with the food (personal favourite was the chicken kebab) & the flavours of the drinks. What stood out was the SERVICE!! Incredible attention by our wait staff. The GM Pierre was incredibly attentive too - we had to wait only five extra minutes to be sat down from our reservation, which is not a big deal. But he was proactive & made us feel extremely welcome, even asking us where we were from & had stories non-end. You can tell he works in hospitality & takes care of his guests because I could see him do the same with other tables. Highly recommend this restaurant's food, service, & vibes - keep an eye out for Pierre if you happen to go. Thanks for a memorable night!

We had such a wonderful birthday dinner at Kif Kif! The food was absolutely fabulous, every single dish we ordered was packed with flavour, beautifully presented, & genuinely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the menu & the dining experience.

One thing I really appreciated was the kindness & professionalism of the hostess. The three middle rows of tables are unfortunately placed very close together, which makes it difficult to comfortably have a conversation without feeling like neighbouring tables could hear every word. To make matters worse, the gentleman seated beside us was swearing loudly from the moment we were sheeted.

I had discreetly mentioned it to the hostess & she very kindly moved us to another table without hesitation or making us feel like it was an inconvenience. This completely changed the atmosphere of our evening & made our birthday celebration enjoyable again. That level of attentiveness & customer care truly stood out.

Excellent food, warm service, & staff that genuinely care about their guests. We'll definitely be back!

The food was amazing, but unfortunately the service really ruined the experience. It started off okay, but our server was not very attentive or kind toward our toddler. We had to ask for a plate & cutlery for our son, our waters were barely refilled, & everything felt extremely slow all night.

Once we were done eating, staff walked by our table multiple times & saw all the empty plates, but nothing was cleared until we asked, even though we mentioned we were on borrowed time with our toddler. We ended up being there almost 2 hours, which was really frustrating. Disappointing because the food itself was excellent.

Bella was an amazing server. Super friendly, attentive, & on point the whole time. She made the experience way better with her great energy & solid recommendations. Easily one of the best I've had!

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!

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.

One of the best restaurant experiences!

An absolutely outstanding dining experience at Kif Kif from start to finish. The food was simply incredible - for me, taste is everything, & this place exceeded all expectations. Every bite was packed with flavor, & the quality was unmistakable. I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle Persian touch added to a Mediterranean cuisine; it was unique, creative, & worked beautifully.

The atmosphere was just as impressive. The decor is thoughtfully designed, with great attention to detail - especially the lighting, which really elevated the overall ambiance & made the space feel warm & inviting.

Our waitress was super friendly, welcoming, & attentive, which made the experience even better. The manager, Pierre, was kind enough to come greet us personally - such a well-spoken, professional, & genuinely pleasant person. It truly shows when leadership cares about the guests.

We were also lucky enough to meet the chef, Alireza. What an amazing job he's done. Not only was his food exceptional, but he is also incredibly welcoming & friendly. You can feel his passion in the dishes he creates. I genuinely can't wait to go back & experience more of his food - I see a very bright future ahead for him in the food industry.

Highly recommend. This place is a gem, & I'll definitely be returning.

Attentive staff in an attractive & comfortable atmosphere. The food was great , with the best hummus, bread & falafel I've had anywhere . I was with a group of 4 friends & since the plates are sharing plates , we had to order more than one of each of course . If you have a big appetite, you may leave hungry if you don't order quite a few plates for each person. The only bone I have to pick so to speak is that my friend who made the reservation did not say she was told there was a 90 minute dinner time limit ..
We were told the next reservation had arrived around the 85 minute mark & did not have time to order dessert or coffee . Maybe if someone would have mentioned this at the outset we would not have been disappointed to leave , in addition since we had someone visiting from Vancouver .
