District 961 has been a go-to place for a night with shishas and good drinks…read more I've been there three times and have had three different experiences. The first time I was there was for a friend's birthday. The restaurant isn't very big but it makes it cosy and when it fills up with the music and the lights dimmed, it gives a pretty nice atmosphere. The food we had that night was a pre-chosen mezza for 35$ each. I wasn't VERY happy with the mezza just because it didn't include a lot of variety for the price (for example, there was no tabboulé, the fattoush came in a weird bowl and the manakish (which aren't part of the usual mezza) were made on this weird pita bread that made it hard to eat). It also took a long time to get the meat and fries. Now for the drinks, I have nothing to say. The drinks are good and the alcohol in them is generous. I've tried the red sangria and a mojito (10$ each), both were delicious! The music on that night was fun and although you can't really dance because of the tight space, we found a way to do so and to celebrate! The second and third time I was there, I was with less people and we ordered food from the menu directly. Let me tell you: it made a huge difference!!! The nachos were delicious, as well as the vegetarian sandwich I had the second time. I also reordered every drink I've had the first time since they were so good and even 9 months later, they didn't disappoint. The shisha service is good. They have multiple flavours and there's a designated waiter that goes around tables to check on every shisha. If you're with a small group of people, you can ask for a backgammon board or a deck of cards. They also have TVs to watch the games and other.

The food was well presented in traditional restaurant fashion.The burgers had a nice charbroiled taste and inside was juicy. Shish taouk had a nice grill smoke and flavour was balanced between chicken and sauce. The fries had a good crisp like cavendish straight cut but had a nice smoky seasoning which I wish I knew the secret to. Sauces that came with the plate were a plus I got garlic sauce and spicy mayo.

If you are looking for an authentic Lebanese place, then this is the place for you…read more I am a Lebanese , living in the US and each time I visit Montreal, I make sure I visit this place at least once. I love the food, great menu and service. The place is small and can get busy, but if you can make it then it is worthwhile the wait. Thank you Grace, Chef and the rest of the staff. Keep up the authentic work.

Did you ever get that feeling that you're being punked by a restaurant? That's what I felt when I…read morewent here. I kept on thinking they were trying to mess with me, but I couldn't even tell you how. The food was very, very good, don't get me wrong. And the portions are gigantic. But the place is very, very busy and noisy and it seems like they're always trying to I guess upsell you. I don't know. I won't be going again.

My friend and I booked a table at Kaza Maza weeks in advance and were very excited to visit…read more Because my friend has a tree nut allergy, we explicitly informed the staff upon ordering and asked them to check our dishes. We were confidently assured the food was completely nut-free and that extra care would be taken. However, this was not the case. My friend always tests her food first, and after a single bite, she suffered an allergic reaction. When we alerted the staff to this issue, their response was shocking. Instead of checking if she was okay, they immediately became defensive and accusatory, asking "Why do you not want to pay?". We were insulted, accused of lying, and confronted by a staff member who aggressively argued it wasn't their fault. We ultimately had to pay the bill in full for food we could not and did not eat, just so we could leave. I am shocked by such poor and defensive service. To be made to feel at fault after such a frightening and vulnerable event is completely unacceptable. To prioritize a bill over a customer's life and deny a mistake when there was an active allergic reaction is appalling and dangerous. If you have food allergies, please avoid this establishment for your own safety.

Why they put it in plastic bags on the table is a mystery and not especially classy. Very little explanation that everything is served family style. If I wanted family style dining, I would have stayed home and cooked. We had a pricey vegetarian appetizer plate where most of the foods tasted too vinegary or garlicky. The eggplant salad tasted more of onion than eggplant. The fish was pretty good but by the time it finally came, I wasn't hungry anymore. The rice had no flavour and the fries, although nicely crisp also were tasteless. The taste I had of my partner's chocolate cake was good but cold in the middle as if it wasn't fully defrosted. The service was friendly yet not attentive. We had to ask for soda twice before it came. The constant reel of what I think was Lebanese music videos projected on the wall were a visually loud distraction from the overall lack of ambiance. The happy birthday music they play was fun, but we're not coming back.
