It looked like a family ran restaurant with pretty good food but the service quality needs to improve since twice they did not have what we asked for which took then 15 mins to inform us & we had no choice but to change our order. In all it a casual looking with friendly staff & tasty food at affordable rates.
J'y suis allé il y a deux ans & j'y suis retourné il y a quelques semaines. La nourriture est aussi bonne qu'avant. J'étais un peu surpris par certains commentaires négatifs & je peux comprendre que quelques clients estiment que leur expérience aurait pu être meilleure. Je me demandais donc si la formidable expérience d'il y a deux ans était liée au fait que le restaurant était encore nouveau & cherchait à attirer des clients. Toutefois, pour ma part, je n'ai constaté aucune différence que ce soit quant à la nourriture, la propreté & la qualité du service. Tout était excellent & le prix correspond aux normes actuelles de la région de Montréal.
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.

J'ai beaucoup aimé la cuisine & la bienveillance de la dame, la seule chose que je n'ai pas apprécié c'est l'étroitesse des tables. Les tables à 2 places sont tellement petites qu'à la limite tu as peur de te brûler avec la nourriture. À part ça, tout est parfait. Une expérience à refaire & un endroit à recommander.
Awesome restaurant with amazing customer service. Employees are super friendly & accommodating. Me & my girlfriend have been several times & always left with happy stomachs.

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.
