Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Kif Kif as a lively, stylish spot with warm, attentive service and a thoughtfully crafted Middle Eastern and Mediterranean menu where freshly baked pita and creamy hummus stand out, dips and kebabs are praised, and dishes like falafel, halloumi, braised lamb, and schnitzel frequently impress, while desserts such as chocolate babka are a hit; most diners highlight generous sharing plates and a welcoming atmosphere, though a few notes mention higher prices for good quality, occasional bland mains or a busy, noisy room, and service speed as areas to improve.

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.

Our family had the absolute pleasure of dining at Kif Kif during our visit to Montreal, & it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We discovered the restaurant online the day before & decided to stop by in person to check availability. Not only were we warmly greeted, but we had the chance to meet the manager, Pierre, who made us feel instantly welcome. When we returned for dinner tonight, he greeted us with the same kindness, setting a wonderful tone for the evening.
The moment we walked in, the restaurant looked absolutely stunning - beautifully prepared & ready for guests. Within minutes of opening, the space filled up, a clear sign that this place is well-loved. We were taken care of by Avalon, an incredibly lovely, kind, & attentive host who made us feel at home from start to finish.
We ordered a selection of dishes to share: hummus, Moroccan cigars, green salad, & three types of skewers - chicken, salmon, & beef. Truly, every single dish was exceptional. Each plate was thoughtfully prepared, rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, & beautifully presented. You can feel the care & passion in every bite.
Kif Kif is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. The warm hospitality, stunning atmosphere, & delicious food all came together to create an unforgettable experience. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Montreal.
Thank you, Kif Kif team, for such a wonderful evening, & wishing you all the very best!

Beautifully designed restaurant. Had to wait 15 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation. Many guests beside us had to wait a while to be seated as well.
The acoustics are not so good & it's hard to have a conversation across the table.
The food was ok. Not great. Not worth the price asked in my opinion.
The hummus & eggplant salad were good, the pitas were great (but an extra pita costs 5$!). The salmon squere & the cigars were tasty. The beef squere was loaded with so many spices you could not taste the meat. The schnitzel reminded me of McDonald's (perhaps they use a similar oil? I don't know), anyway we ate only half of it.
Malabi dessert was good.
Not sure we'll be back.
