Wow! Really? After coming here from LA I thought it was impossible to have it all at a Montreal restaurant; amazing food, good service, charming and classy atmosphere and modestly priced! But this place has it all! House wine is pretty good for $15 a 1/2 liter.
The food was fresh and delicious! The decor is beautifully simple, the atmosphere is wonderful. Good date place for sure! -

This is definitely one of the better restaurants I've been to. It is a bit outside of downtown Montreal, but you can walk it in about 35 minutes, or take a taxi or bus. For appetizers, try the fattouch salad (excellent), and for cold dishes, we had the muttabal and mousaqa'a, which they bring you plenty of pita bread for, and both were extraordinary.
Then, definitely give the giant shrimp with saffron tomato white wine sauce, perfectly cooked giant shrimp in a great sauce.
Great atmosphere, very well priced for Montreal, and as good as or better than anything else you'll find in the city. -

Feel like going out without a fuss? Go to Kazamaza and get delicious food in a low-key atmosphere. It's delicious, the price-quality is amazing, and the space is comfy. You'll have to reserve on popular nights - in this case, good things do come in small packages.
A live band playing jazz ensured a perfectly relaxed vibe on this Wednesday night. As did house wine offered in carafes. Bottles of wine are available too, but hey, if we're doing "chill," let's do it all the way, n'est-ce pas?
We started with lentil soup ($4/7) and hummus ($7). Both were unbelievably flavourful. The soup was fresh and not overcooked like many other lentil soups I've tried. Instead, you could really taste the lentils, tomatoes, coriander, ginger, and bit of lemon and coconut. The hummus was delectably silken, and the chickpeas added a nice contrasting texture.

This is the best Middle Eastern food we have ever eaten. Order the Mutabbal betteraves, I have never had this before, but will now try to recreate this at home and eat with everything! It is a beet-tahini-yogurt spread the consistency of hummus. You can eat this with a pita, but I preferred to mix this with the rest of our food. Get the house salad, it has the perfect amount of salt, spices citrus and a hint of mint. Order any kefta or main platter that comes out hot, we had the Kefta avec aubergines cooked in a tomato base with red and green peppers....this place is just amazing.
You can walk in, but I would recommend calling in to make a reservation if you are eating during peak dinner hours. We walked in at 5 or 6p before the dinner rush, and only two tables were not reserved. -

My first experience of Kaza Maza and its Syrian cuisine was very strong on the food end (fattet hummus!), but not so strong on the service end, but they were having a rough day and I recognized that (it happens). Recent experiences have been nothing but perfect (food and service both) and Kaza Maza quickly became one of my faves of 2010.
Start with a selection of 3 or 5 of their phenomenal cold mezze, choose a fattet hummus from among the hot mezze, and go from there. Outstanding. Friendly, too.
Live music from time to time. -

I am in love with this restaurant, if only they hired better staff to handle the front of the house it would become a regular spot for me. The service is so slow but the restaurant is amazing. From my experience so far you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose to order from their menu. Great atmosphere and great food, hopefully the service speeds up and then its a perfect night out.

Good food elicits comments like "tasty", even "excellent". The fare at Kaza Maza is ASTONISHING, STUNNING, simply so unbelievably good. you have to re-think what you know about restaurant meals, fine cuisine and without a doubt, what you thought were your favorites. The spinach kibbee is extraordinary, the chicken so tender, so perfectly prepared it leaves you wondering how the chef did it, how he managed to re-define a poultry dish, the babaghanouj so utterly sublime it is startling, the fattouch unlike any we, including a serious "pro" foody, have ever eaten anywhere . Forget anything you thought you knew or liked about middle-eastern food...and forget the places you thought were good. The service was terrific, the ambience warm and the prices amazingly modest. This is one of the most enjoyable eating experiences I have had in a lifetime of world travel. I look forward to going back as soon as possible

We stumbled upon this place on our first night in Montreal. This was the only place we could find that was open at 11pm in this area. Everything was excellent, from their lamb with garlic to their baba ghanouj to their special hummus-like side made from beet root. The owners were very nice. They were celebrating a friend's birthday that night and gave us slices of the birthday cake.
They say when they opened the place, the focus was on the experience (they had great eclectic music on when we were there) and food was second but we disagree - food was really excellent.
Finally, some things were missing from the menu. For example, they said they don't have falafel because they feel its gotten too commercial. So I wouldn't expect typical mid-eastern fare but whatever we tried was excellent. -

A friend and I where looking for a place to eat on park,
(being new to the neighborhood i didnt really know what was around)
And we discovered KazaMaza(pretty sure its new) wonderful little mezes and appetizers (think tapas-bar) that are just big enough so that between two people three of them is a nice meal.
The food is middle eastern in flavour but the ambiance is modern casual with lots of great little handmade accents(check out the lighting!)
and great photo's of the owners renovating the space.
so, the food:
we tried the Mousaqa'a, the Hummus Kawarma and the Kefta au Pistaches.
The mousaqa'a was my favorite, a rich chunky sauce of aubergines roasted tomatoes peppers onions and spices, topped with a little bit of yogurt(i dont know what else is in it but its sooo delicous)
My friend who is allergic to tomatoes loved the hummus kawarma best,
which is a traditional hummus topped with a lamb confit and pine nuts.
we both agreed that it was probably the best hummus that we'd ever encountered!
the kefta au pistaches was really good too,
they were little meatballs stuffed with beef, pistachios and deliciousness
and all of the above is served with plenty of sliced pita and really laid back gracious service. They also mentioned that there's often live music there! so needless to say we'll be back. -

Very good. Tastiest fattouch in a long while. Super Nice service. Lamb was great. Ground veal was a bit on the overcooked side. Very cold basement for washrooms.

Loved it!!!
This place is different from your standard lebanese restaurant in that the chef emphasized the taste of the many mezzeh dishes with added spices and interesting dressing..
best baba ghannoug i ever tasted, there was not a single miss through the whole meal.
definitely recommended! -

Really, really yummy. The fattouch salad was one of the best I've ever had. Muhammara was a little chunkier than I prefer it, but still quite flavorful. All in all, a really delicious meal and a great place.

Fantastic restaurant for syrian food. It is like a hipper, younger, light-spirited version of Aleppe. Highly recommend the potatoes, the hummus, and the chicken breast. Fattoush is good too. Youll need reservations on weekends not because theyre overwhelmingly busy, but because they arent very effective at distributing tables. Nonetheless, worth it!
