Had their beef sambosa, lamb broth & mandi lamb. They were all quite tasty & perfectly seasoned. The lamb was fall off the bone tender, & juicy just like the other reviews have mentioned. It also paired well with the broth (which was mildly gamey so if you're not into that then maybe skip the broth all together 😆) I'd love to come back & try their other dishes, & have their tea again
Venus le 22 Janvier 2026
Goûté : le trio de Sambosa (ordre de préférence : fromage, boeuf, végé)
Bouillon Maraq
Fahsa avec riz jaune
Mandi Lamb avec riz Rouge
Les deux riz excellents & incroyablement parfumés.
Je recommande le supplément : raisin sec, oignons, amandes dans le riz.
En dessert Kunafa au Sirop incroyable (mais il ne faut pas compter les calories)
Le Fata Biltamer avec Crème & Miel, très copieux, que je recommande donc à partager.
J'ai aussi goûté le boisson fromage lait a la menthe.

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.
I was really hungry then i decided to come to this place
I ordered mazbi lamb & chicken mandi
Firstly never go with owner's suggestion to eat at amy restaurant
He asked me to take chicken mandi
& for the rice half smoked & half tomato rice
The rice is tasteless & meat & chicken is very very salty you can't eat
I also tried marag soup they added a lot of turmeric powder which changed the taste
I have never seen mandi without mayonnaise or garlic sauce nor any nuts on the top
They served with yogurt & tomato soup
Honestly speaking disgusting taste
Very pricy food with not a good taste
Waste of time & money
Si vous cherchez à découvrir la cuisine yéménite, ce restaurant est une véritable pépite ! La nourriture y est absolument délicieuse, chaque plat est cuisiné à la perfection. Des Sambosa au poulet, en passant par le riz parfumé, jusqu'au pain typique qui accompagne à merveille chaque bouchée… Tout est savoureux & généreusement préparé!
Les desserts sont également à ne pas manquer, une vraie douceur pour finir le repas sur une note sucrée.
L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & conviviale, & tout le personnel est accueillant & souriant, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. C'est un endroit où l'on se sent bien dès qu'on franchit la porte.

The lamb broth was suuuper good, & so was the lamb with bone in it. The rice to me was just lacking a bit of something, I couldn't finish it on its own.
I honestly loved it & so is my family!
I rarely give a 5 stars but this one deserves those stars for the so many things, the ambiance, the quality of the food & top it with excellent service & the friendly hostess & waiters.
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! 🍗🍛🔥
J'ai adoré la nourriture ! Tout était savoureux, bien présenté & plein de saveurs. L'ambiance était agréable & le service aussi. C'est certain que je vais y retourner. Une très belle découverte ! 😊
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!
Visiting Montreal from Detroit, MI. Stopped in for brunch & was welcomed by the warm& friendly husband & wife who own the place. We ordered several items (breakfast sampler tray, fasooliya adeni, areeka & lamb liver), all of which were made fresh. The food not only an authentic taste, but a taste of home. We would have liked to return for dinner that night but wasn't possible. Highly recommend & would definitely return if we make it back to Montreal again.

The overall food was good but I have some complaints regarding the portion sizes. We got one lamb dish & one chicken & I believe the quantity of the meat was too little for the price. They gave us quite a bit of rice which was nice but it felt like they wanted us to fill up on that instead of striking a balance between the meat & rice.
I gave 4 stars because the food was tasty & service was great but still disappointed with the portions.
Superbe découverte! Belle ambiance, staff super accueillant, nourriture délicieuse. De belles options vegans clairement identifiées & des options avec de la viande également, parfait pour les groupes d'ami.e.s/familles aux régimes alimentaires différents. J'ai essayé les vegan sambosa, l'edam aux légumes & le vegan mogalgal. Tout était savoureux! Merci pour l'accueil & la bonne bouffe 💖
I had the delicious lamb fahsa with khobs bread & the rice they served. A very unique kind of food & experience. The owner was also gracious enough to treat us to some Fata Bilmoze & chai adani which were both unreal & very tasty. Highly recommend!!
