I am visiting from western Canada & been trying many food places here in Montreal. Hands down the best middle eastern food I have tried here. I tried the Maraq, samosa, chicken & lamb mazbi & everything was spot on. They were very hospitable & were very welcoming. there was music & friendly vibes. Definitely recommend
Oh god ... this restaurant is incredible, I loved everything about this authuntic Yemeni restaurant starting from the warm & hospitable service from the staff,then the comfortable & lovely decoration ,after that was the amazing food ,I had the mandi lamb ,mazbi chicken & the mogalgal beef.Each meal is so different & delicious 😋. Don't forget to try their dessert ( Fata with dates & the kunafa & the chai Adani) it is the best . Thank you Mazbi Team I will definitely come back
Best Yemeni Restaurant I have been to... I highly recommend the Mazbi chicken & lamb mandi. The service was very good The tee was delicious, I liked the decoration Good prices as well Definitely must try!
Great Yemeni restaurant! I highly recommend the mazbi chicken & lamb mandi. The masoub was also excellent. The service was a bit slow, & the tea was cold. I wish the chicken had been fresher, but the lamb was excellent. Definitely recommended!
My first Yemini restaurant & it's such a beautiful & cozy venue with great ethnic decor! We started off with wheat soup & Sambosa & then for the main meal my friends & I had the Mandi Lamb as well as Mandi Chicken :) The food was so delicious & the staff was also super kind & nice & always inquired about our food. Post meal we had the tea & ordered the Fata bil Mowz & we all truly loved it ! It was a perfect blend of unique bread with cream, dates, & cheese ! Cannot wait to come & try other items on the menu in this wonderful restaurant !

The food was very fresh & delicious! The atmosphere was also very vibrant, comforting, & homely. We had the lamb & chicken mazbi, khobz, sambosas, & the lamb broth (my fiancee INHALED it so fast!). Everything was so flavourful!
First time trying Yemeni food & we were not disappointed. We were a big group so we made a reservation & they accommodated our 12 ppl party. I tried their Marag soup made of simple lamb broth. Very simple broth yet layered with flavors of lamb marrow & other earthy spices. Perfect balance of flavors. I then tried the mixed samosas appetizers. I love that they are done in the traditional Arab way using filo pastry. Delicious! The main dishes for us were Chicken mogalgal & mandi lamb. So yummy & rich with spices. Ask for the rice to come with fried onions. You can skip the bread which tasted like naan. The two dishes were best eaten with their rice. We had their Fetta with dates. An interesting hearty dessert that I would love to have for breakfast. The atmosphere is very simple & practical. Not for special occasions but for a more casual crowd. The service was excellent. Very attentive & the food arrived fast even though we were a large group.
Greattt food! Especially great place for a small group where you're keen to share. All the meat was amazing. The lamb, chicken, & beef. The rice is very flavourful & the bread is deliciousss !! The cheese sambosas were also amazing. Great vegan options, too. The staff & soo nice & happy to give recommendations. We ordered a sharing platter of 3 meats & asked the waiter to pick, which worked out great. The kunafah dessert is a must-get!!! The dessert with cream & cheese on top was not as good. Great casual vibe. We called ahead & got a really nice window table reserved.
This place is DELICIOUS!! We got the mix of Mandi lamb & Mazdi Chicken with fried onions & fried almonds (great for two). The owners are Yemeni & everything made with so much care & love. Will be coming back!!!!

Drove from Toronto today & after a 6 hour or so ride was completely beat & wanted some good food. Stumbled upon Mazbi by chance & it turned out to be just the right way to start my trip to Montreal. Amazing authentic halal Yemeni food. We ordered the chicken mogalgal which was 5/5. We also ordered Fahsa 5/5 too. Chicken mazbi was 4/5. To end it we ordered chai adani which was a solid 4.5 too. Overall amazing experience. Will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal.
First time tried Yemeni food in Montreal & had the best experience in terms of food & customer service.
We ordered chicken Mandi & Mazbi chicken both tasted so delicious & authentic.
It’s better to call & reserve a table. I just happened to call them & ask if they have chicken Mandi left, they only had 1 left they put it aside for me. That was nice of them.
We asked for mandi chicken but were told that item is sold out so had to settle for chicken mugalgal & beef mugalgal. Food was decent but really wanted mandi. Staff was nice & friendly.
