very cute & lively restaurant, the service we got from Gabriel was fantastic, he checked in on all all night. Food was lovely as well, we got the hummus, grilled halloumi, braised lamb, crushed potatoes & the steak skewer.
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!
Absolutely lovely dinner! I came with my family & kids & we loved all the plates. The schnitzel is 10/10 along with the potatoes, pita & hummus. My kids loved the steak skewers. Will recommend & will be back! My friends went the same week after my recommendation & loved it too!
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!
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.
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 .
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!
The ambiance is beautiful, the service is fast & friendly & most importantly the food was delicious. Make sure to get the Hummus & Schnitzel, they can't be missed & were the standouts for me. I can't wait to come back!
Things were done right at Kif Kif, & hopefully they'll keep these high standards for a long time. We ordered the moist & tender Spotty Pitas, Hummus, Muhammara, & Raw Salmon to start, followed by the whole Sea Bream & Tahdig as mains.
We loved the depth of tangy, smoky flavors that really define this chef's cooking, especially noticeable in the Muhammara, the fish sauce, & the Tahdig. The dish that truly stood out was the Raw Salmon: sashimi-style slices of fresh salmon prepared in a ceviche-like way. Outstanding!
For dessert, we had the Babka. It wasn't the traditional moist style we expected, but this version was still enjoyable.
The restaurant's design is also very interesting, filled with small framed photographs that tell a story. Service was professional & friendly.
All in all, a great accomplishment for a restaurant that opened only recently.
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.
