Food was outstanding, very fresh, hot, & with heart. The flavor was excellent. Overall one of the best restaurants I've been visited my my entire life.
Had an amazing dinner at Mazbi Restaurant with my partner. Maraq soup was a starter for me & the broth had intense lamb flavor . For the main course we took Fahsa lamb & Mogalgal beef. Both dishes were served with rice & were super delisious. Khobaz with kefir style dip was a nice surprise. We finished the evening with adan chai. top notch value/price ratio. & staff was very nice & carring! Would recommend to my friends & visit again.

Delicious food - a great start to a day of a lot of walking in Montreal. The dishes are quite large & flavorful. Staff were so kind & helpful. Would love to go again
Mazbi Restaurant serves some of the best mandi & grilled dishes I've ever had. The rice was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, & the meat was tender, juicy, & delicious. We tried the lamb mandi, chicken mandi, & grilled chicken - all were excellent & full of authentic Arabic taste.
The restaurant was clean, comfortable, & the food came out fresh & hot. The portions were generous & worth the price.
Special thanks to Abdullah for his kind & professional service - he was very friendly & made sure everything was perfect for us.
Highly recommend Mazbi Restaurant to anyone who loves real Middle Eastern food! 🍗🍛🔥
The food was delicious! We tried both the chicken & lamb mandi, & enjoyed both plates. The meat was tender & flavorful, & the rice was perfectly seasoned. Definitely recommend it!

The best Middle Eastern spot in Montreal & the only Yemeni restaurant in the city! They just launched their new brunch menu this weekend. The food is incredibly flavorful & comforting, with a true homemade touch, & the atmosphere is warm & welcoming. They were also very accommodating in preparing specific gluten-free options, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back!

I went back recently, & unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as it used to be. The Mazhbi really lacked flavor . It's a real shame, especially since Mazhbi restaurants are hard to find.
This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is super delicious, full of rich Yemeni flavors. The vibe is amazing, with the soothing scent of bokhor & Arabic music creating a warm, authentic atmosphere. A perfect spot for a flavorful & cultural dining experience!
Amazing food that truly reminded me of home in Saudi Arabia! Everything was fresh, flavorful, & authentic, you can really taste the quality. The staff were very kind & welcoming, especially the young lady who greeted us. Highly recommend this place if you're craving real Yemeni or Gulf-style food!
I had a great experience at Mazbi Restaurant! The food was delicious, the place was clean, & the staff were very welcoming & kind. I really enjoyed the atmosphere & the traditional flavors. I would definitely come back again!

Delicious as always! Mazbi is the only Yemeni restaurant in Montreal & it never disappoints. The food is full of flavor & the meat just falls off the bone. Highly recommend!
Quality food & authentic flavors. Highly recommend Mazbi Restaurant. The staff is very friendly & accommodating. We had the beef dish & it was divine, the rice & bread were delicious.
Really loved the flavor of the Mazbi Lamb it was my favorite. The Mandi chicken was very tender & fell off of the bone. The rice was super flavorful & overall everything was perfect for lunch.

I appreciated the tenderness of the lamb, but overall, this experience was disappointing. The bread served was not the right type for Fahsa, & providing only a small portion for the entire dish was inappropriate. The rice was overly spiced, overwhelming the flavor, & the prices were far too high for the quality offered. The presentation & the dishware were quite underwhelming. I was excited to find a Yemeni restaurant in Montreal, but I left wishing I hadn't visited. That said, the service was friendly.
Absolutely exceptional food! The incredibly tender & succulent chicken paired with the flavorful rice was truly outstanding. Plus, the live music was absolutely fantastic.
Had To pleasant experience. The reviews truly didn't lie. This place is ya hidden local gem. The food was authentic & full of flavor. The staff & atmosphere put us at ease. The price is reasonable too. Next time I'm in town I'll be showing up again.
Nestled in a town brimming with cultural richness, Mazbi stands as a beacon of Yemeni culinary tradition. The ambiance transports diners to a Yemeni bazaar, with walls adorned with intricate patterns reminiscent of Yemen's skilled craftsmen & an air filled with the heady scents of saffron & cumin. Dining at Mazbi is an immersive experience, a communion with Yemeni heritage through its most authentic flavors, making every meal not just food, but a masterpiece of cultural expression. Mazbi is not just a restaurant; it is a celebration of Yemen itself, bridging past & present with every dish served.
We had an outstanding dining experience at this Yemeni restaurant. The dishes were truly exceptional, bursting with authentic flavors that left us eager for more. What made our visit even more memorable was the customer service; Wafa, in particular, went above & beyond to ensure our comfort & satisfaction. Highly recommend visiting for anyone looking for a top-notch meal coupled with excellent service!
