I'm leaving this review after my second time at Kif Kif & I promise I will be back. The food is exceptional. We were 4, ordered 8 dishes to split & a cocktail each. Everything was delicious! The hummus was creamy & perfectly seasoned, the muhammara (walnut pepper dip) naturally & wonderfully sweet, the falafel rich in flavour yet not too oily, the schnitzel perfectly cooked & just the right kind of crispy... The vibe of the restaurant is intimate & slightly chic without being overly over the top fancy. Just the right kind of place for a night out with friends, or a loved one. I'll definitely be back to re-order everything & try the rest of the menu.
Oh, & the pitas! O.M.G. Freshly baked in their stove oven, stretchy, aromatic, just incredible. Order an extra one, you won't regret it.
The food isn't cheap but it's worth it. You can taste quality in each & every dish. Also, you can find some parking on a street right behind the restaurant. I'm glad it's not in the Plateau - parking & accessibility is so much easier!
I had a great dinner at Kif Kif last night. The food was flavourful, fresh, & delicious. The service was excellent, & I enjoyed the space. We ordered a bunch of items, but the highlights were the hot, perfectly charred pita bread & the super creamy hummus. Falafel was crunchy, & tasty too. I'd like to go back & try more dishes. Thank you Kif Kif!

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!
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
Amazing experience at Kif Kif. The food was absolutely delicious & the style of the restaurant is beautiful & welcoming. The service was great from start to finish.
I really loved the Persian inspiration behind many of the dishes (although not a persian restaurant) - it felt unique & thoughtfully done. What stood out most is how the restaurant incorporates influences from different cultures into the food, creating something creative & memorable.
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.

Delicious food, great cocktails, & nice atmosphere. Wait staff was very friendly & gave good suggestions of what to order & how many dishes. We will definitely be going back.
I was heavily anticipating a delicious meal & our entire party was not even close to being disappointed. In fact, Kif Kif was able to take us on a Mediterranean journey unique unto its own. From the moment we walked in & were greeted by Nadine (hostess) & Dan himself (chef who happened to be up front at the time) to the extremely courteous service of our sever Abby, the hospitality was perfect. Of course, the true highlight was the series of dishes we were treated to. The dips are a must (all three). Hummous was creamy & authentic, the Muhammara was a table favorite & the carried eggplant was out of this world. But what really tied it all together was the pastry like Pita bread that came out of an authentic Italian oven, piping hot & fresh & would literally melt in your mouth.
We then moved on to other divine sharing dishes like the ever so tender flank steak skewers, the signature chicken schnitzel & the raw salmon which makes any other ceviche look mundane & plain. The meal was also complemented with crunchy slaw, smashed potoes & a fantastic zucchini labneh side that popped.
Mission accomplished...everyone was stuffed, but you know what they say:'Everyone has room for dessert'. So we indulged & we went with Dan's suggestions. The table shared the chocolate Terrie with Halva, a milk pudding drizzled with the perfect amount of rose water, & a chocolate Babke which was the star of the show.
We rolled out of Kif Kif extremely satisfied needless to say & with the wine (& a cocktail) the bill seemed fair. Thank you again to Dan & his team. If you have not yet experienced this local wonder, you should make your rezzie now. We will be back 10000%.
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!
A true example of excellence.
The service was impeccable, the food absolutely exquisite, & the ambiance delightful. The menu offers the perfect Mediterranean mix, & the schnitzel was genuinely one of the best I've had in my entire life. Every detail is so thoughtfully executed. If you appreciate the mastery behind staple dishes with rich culinary tradition, you won't be disappointed.
I strongly recommend it.
