The service is repeatedly described as friendly, efficient, and accommodating, with staff praised for hospitality and helpful recommendations, while the interior is noted as clean and inviting.

Overall, Mezzmiz is seen as a reliable, tasty option for a quick, delicious Lebanese meal with a warm vibe, and many reviewers say they would return or recommend it to others.
First time trying the restaurant after hearing so much about it. Below my feedback & overall i was not satisfied. 1. Chairs were dirty 2. Asked for Shawarma Beef displayed on the menu however they didnt have.. they recommended kefta instead (which was filled with tomato sauce & not good) 3. Also took a chicken wrap, i couldnt taste the chicken, only garlic sauce & not much of flavor. 4. Muhammara & hummus were good, however they gave pita bread which was hard.. i only ate 1, & left the rest.. felt old from few days or left open on the counter for a long time. 4 mezzes platter & wrap combo (with tips) costed 55$ so really for the quality , price , service not worth in my opinion.
The staff was nice. However, the food was average. On the plus side, the ingredients were fresh, but the dishes had no flavor & the lack of flavor was masked by... sugar! The tabouleh had no flavor, nor did the grilled chicken. The prices were too high for the value of the food.

Beware of this place being extremely over priced. The food portions were very small for the price they were charging. Halloumi had a strange sweet sauce on top of it & the overall taste was bad too. Nothing like authentic arabic halloumi. Shawarma was dry & this place doesnt have the authentic shawarma chicken/meat rotating station. They probably prepare the meat/chicken separately. Hence the average taste. Beef shawarma, hummous & batatas were nice. I would not revisit.
We ordered all the trays except the shrimp & the kafta. We loved the hummus & the eggplant main dish. The chicken & beef servings were on the small size. Overall, very strong flavors, & the tabouleh was a bit on the salty & sour taste.
Very nice & clean place. Staff were so friendly & helpful. The sandwiches both meat & especially the chicken was a 10/10 as a Lebanese I recommend this place!
We enjoyed a great meal here. The food is quality & authentic, & the staff is so helpful in helping you decide what to order. My husband ordered a tray, while I ordered a chicken sandwich & both were great 👍🏽
We loved the restaurant, the food is amazing, everything is good , we have a very picky eater in the family & even she enjoyed a chicken sandwich, we tryed a little bit of everything & all dishes were delicious. SERVICE IS EXCELLENT as well.

It was my first visit & I tried the chicken lemon. I was surprised at how good it is. The service is also top notch! They neatly packed my leftover for me as requested. I will definitely return again.
The Falafel plate (with fattoush salad) & Zaatar bread was just 10/10. However the chicken shawarma could be better (chicken didn't taste super fresh 😔) There are nonsense homeless people who enter the premise & try to push people around(while standing in the payment queue). Kinda scary situation. 😔
I was so excited to try this restaurant. I am a big fan of good lebanese food & this very excellent. I had the Chicken Pickles Toum, a side of potatoes & an extra side of taboulé. The portion was small. It costed me 30$. Plus gave 5$ tips. I do not mind paying that much, only if the food is good. On the other hand, the service was ok. As I started speaking French, the cashier told me they have an another french speaker, I was very happy to switch in English. My opinion changed when I asked if it came with a breuvage mid way throught eating. I went to the counter to talk to the girl behind & asked in French if I paid for a breuvage. The girl annoyedly & rudely interrupted me to say « i don't understand! » . I get that people don't speak French, but I think it is not nice to make French speaker feel bad for not speaking English right away. It might be annoying answering to french speaker you can't understand them, but I was very upset to be so rudely told to switch to English. Sometimes learning a few sentences in French saying that you can't understand goes a long way. Especially, working customer service in a French Province. I am not one of those Quebec people that mandates French to everyone, but asked in such manner... I just can't. Walking my way back, I felt like the food costed me way too much money to feel upset because of that worker.
The place looks cool. The food was alright but nothing special. Pricewise it is very expensive. I ended up paying 40$ tax & tip included for a shawarma chicken trio with halloumi!!! That is alot of money just for this meal.
The only place in Montréal that Indulge in the flavors of Lebanon at this charming restaurant. From aromatic spices to fresh ingredients, that's a Lebanese cuisine. I was really impressed about the taste, honestly! especially the beef Shawarma, zaatar potato, & the fresh fatouch. The kafta sandwich is also tasty, & I have no comments on it! But I didn't really enjoy the chicken sandwich because the garlic overwhelm the delicate balance of other ingredients, masking their natural taste. Consider toning down the garlic sauce to allow the flavors of the sandwich to shine.... because the only thing you taste is garlic, even i couldn't even taste the pickles inside of it... Concerning the price, it's a bit expensive ! 35$ for a trio is not that tempting to come back on a daily basis,but comparing to the quality i can understand. That's what i had so far, but definitely i will go back to try the brunch menu.

The food is so delicious & the staff are very welcoming & friendly, this was my first time eating from here & now it's my favorite shawarma in Montreal, I got a chicken shawarma trio which came with a small garlic dip, drink, & small potato which I really wish it was French fries instead but it was delicious anyway, A bit pricy but overall worth it
When it comes to the cold plates, Mezzmiz hits jackpot. The hot plates, or proteins as they call it, are a hit or miss. The chicken is the best. The beef is the same flavour as the pre-seasoned beef shawarma you get at Adonis or Mizan & the kebab with tomato sauce is mediocre at best. Fattouch is amazing, tabbouleh needs a little bit of extra love when dicing the parsley. In terms of consistency, there are some inconsistencies, for example, we got pomegranate on our plate one day but not the other. My biggest concern is the price of the drinks, it is INSANE. A coke & an ayran were edging the $10 mark. In summary, don't let the size of the plates fool you. They might look small yet they are pretty filling.
This was incredibly delicious. A healthy & tasty choice. Very very clean! I had the Chicken Citron with
the option garlic fries, comes with fatoush salad, hummus & bread. This was my first time & I'm sure it won't be my last. Thank you Mezzmiz for a great first experience!
