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.
