The food is ok. There is nothing to rave about. Service is good. My rice was cold. & they are very stingy on yougurt & salad. They give samples in very small plastic containers. The food is very dry. Needs sauce or something next to it. For foreigners, it might be good. But it's average at best.
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.

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!
Mazbi Restaurant offers a taste of Yemeni tradition right in the heart of Montreal. As someone from Djibouti, Mazbi's authentic flavors remind me of home. Their lamb is simply exceptional, cooked to perfection with spices that transport you to Yemen itself. The traditional Yemeni tea served after the meal is the perfect ending to a delightful culinary journey. Mazbi Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a true taste of Yemeni cuisine in Montreal.
Amazing food. Hands down. We will be coming back for sure. Perfect portions & excellent customer service. The food was definitely authentic Yemeni cuisine.

We went to mazbi as a group for ramadan iftar The atmosphere was quite good Sitting wasn't comfortable Coming to food there was a menu which have soup, mendi, dates & juice Starting with the positive the barley & tomatoes soup was delicious The mendi was quite good but not the best The juice wasn't fresh pressed juice i think it was the powder mixed with water I ordered samosa too all the samosas were good One thing i disliked is that one water cup was broken from the top & can injure someone lips
Last minute visit to Montreal to see the eclipse & found this restaurant after visiting friends. The restaurant was packed however they found a table for us within a few minutes (they ask that you come back at the time they specify so you don't hover over the people who are eating which I appreciate)..Lamb mandi & foul were very good. Some of the best tasting Yemeni rice I have had & the meat was very flavourful & tender. Not sure if the bread is authentic. Chai was a lovely warm hug & the cheese kunafe was nice.
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 !
Good food in a simple restaurant - food was tasty & the service was very good. Maybe a little expensive for what it was but not excessively so. Nice atmosphere too Would go back
Lovely Yémeny experience. The food is very tasty. You will taste lamp meat as if you never tasted it before 😋. I recommend the Mazbi Dish. The staff is very friendly & the place is warm & cozy.
