Awesome experience from start to finish! Best muhamara I've had in MTL. Service was delightful. Our server Jigar helped us pick a few more dishes and recommended a bottle of Verminto from Corsica to go with the first round of plates. It was fantastic. After that he had us taste a red by the glass to go with meat course. By this point we trusted him completely so while I can't tell you what the red was, I can tell you we order two! Espresso martini to end the night, we'll be back asap!

Visited with my wife this evening, food was amazing, the atmosphere was lively but even sitting in the midst of it, conversation was easy to hear across the table. Both mocktails and cocktails were tasty. The muhamarra was delicious, the pitas are made in house and come out fluffy and piping hot. The latkes hit it out of the park with the depth and complexity of the flavors. Dessert is also notable—thoroughly enjoyed the babka and almond cake. Bella, our server, was so on top of everything and Kat, the hostess was lovely, accommodating, and shared the private room space with us. We will definitely return and look forward to deciding what event we will celebrate in the beautiful private space, completely separate from the dining room, with private washrooms.

We ate last night April 10 for my mother’s 91 st birthday we were 7 people. We chose the fixed menu which was easy but a big mistake. The first course was 2 salads which were ok then some beet dish which was awful almost un edible. Then the main course of Kebobs were unedible steak was tough as leather The chicken was OK, but not great and the salmon was fishy and couldn’t eat it. The chicken schnitzel, which usually was their best dish was greasy and thick and nobody ate it either in our party. We had dessert, but we were so disgusted with the terrible noise which out of 10 was a 15 nobody could hear each other so we got up and left without dessert which was included that’s how bad this place was in the end it was a horrible experience for my mother. Nobody could talk or hear each other. The only thing I would say was good was the pita bread which was hot and fresh otherwise, the overall quality was very poor and the atmosphere was absolutely terrible because of the noise.

We had a fabulous experience in the private dining room. The service was great, and the food was delicious. The team was incredibly easy to work with and so accommodating to all of our needs. The room itself is really nice, with plenty of space for a sit-down dinner as well as separate little lounge areas for guests to hang out. There’s also a very nice, private bathroom right off the room, which is convenient and a great added touch. We will definitely book there again. We’ve also dined in the restaurant many times and have always had wonderful experiences.

Bella was an amazing server. Super friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. She made the experience way better with her great energy and solid recommendations. Easily one of the best I’ve had!

The starter were good with nice pita and muhammara. Everything else was incredible mediocre. The chicken schnitzel was WAY too thick. The drinks were decent. I wouldn't return too much other good food in MTL.

I'm leaving this review after my second time at Kif Kif and I promise I will be back. The food is exceptional. We were 4, ordered 8 dishes to split and a cocktail each. Everything was delicious! The hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned, the muhammara (walnut pepper dip) naturally and wonderfully sweet, the falafel rich in flavour yet not too oily, the schnitzel perfectly cooked and just the right kind of crispy... The vibe of the restaurant is intimate and slightly chic without being overly over the top fancy. Just the right kind of place for a night out with friends, or a loved one. I'll definitely be back to re-order everything AND try the rest of the menu. Oh, and the pitas! O.M.G. Freshly baked in their stove oven, stretchy, aromatic, just incredible. Order an extra one, you won't regret it. The food isn't cheap but it's worth it. You can taste quality in each and every dish. Also, you can find some parking on a street right behind the restaurant. I'm glad it's not in the Plateau - parking and accessibility is so much easier!

I had a great dinner at Kif Kif last night. The food was flavourful, fresh, and delicious. The service was excellent, and I enjoyed the space. We ordered a bunch of items, but the highlights were the hot, perfectly charred pita bread and the super creamy hummus. Falafel was crunchy, and tasty too. I'd like to go back and try more dishes. Thank you Kif Kif!

Our server was really nice but unfortunately that’s the only positive thing I have to say about this place. The food was bland, the portions are really small and it’s overpriced. We had a reservation but still had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated. Reading the menu, I had trouble understanding which country this was from since it seemed to be all over the place. Be careful of restaurants that only claim to be “Middle Eastern.”

Hi Y - we are surprised by this review. Our chef de cuisine is Iranian, many of the dishes inspired by his mom's cooking. We recommend visiting earlier (5-7pm) and on a Wednesday or Sunday when we aren't as packed. We try to keep wait times as short as possible, but on super busy nights we may ask our patrons to hang at the bar briefly while we turn the tables. Thanks!

Absolutely lovely dinner! I came with my family and kids and we loved all the plates. The schnitzel is 10/10 along with the potatoes, pita and hummus. My kids loved the steak skewers. Will recommend and will be back! My friends went the same week after my recommendation and loved it too!

We will not be returning. We had a reservation for 7:30 and when we arrived there were several other people were also waiting to be seated, even though they all had reservations.Also it was very difficult to place an order since we were constantly looking for a waiter and none were around. But when we did place our orders the drinks arrived at a different table and the wait for the meal was long.

I arrived at the restaurant at 7 pm for my bar reservation for 1. Hostess greeted me and said bar was full but a table was available. I told her I reserved the bar and she said it would take a while to seat me and spoke to Pierre. She offered me a drink as I stood waiting with my coat on. I said no thank you I will have a drink when I am seated and eating. At 7:25 pm I left the restaurant, the place was quite busy and Pierre was helping the staff.

Go for the pita and hummus, stay for the babka! From the moment we walked in, the hostess, Nadine, treated us like kings and queens. The vibe is cool, the food and service were great, drinks were flowing, and the babka is a must! Try and share all the dishes for the perfect middle eastern dining experience. We went for my birthday celebration, and they truly stepped up their game to make it special for me. Kif Kif is a MUST! Go today, thank me tomorrow!

Had a fantastic girls’ night at Kif Kif! The food, service, and overall vibe were all excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, with a fun, lively atmosphere. Cocktails and wine were great. I had the chicken skewers with an amazing crunchy slaw, and also got to taste some delicious hummus with pita. The chocolate babka was a hit. Nidiné was a wonderful hostess and made the experience even better. Would absolutely recommend!

Good experience at Kifkif, could have been great. The schnitzel, the grilled zucchinis, hummus and eggplant dips were really good. The salmon crudo was also super fresh and tasty. We did feel like the service felt rushy sometimes. Taking out the plate right after we finished the last bite is not very pleasant. Why the rush, I would have loved to get another spoon of the green sauce! The desserts were a miss because we did not have the full description : the chocolate terrine was actually chocolate and olive oil (bold combination but unfortunately not to our taste), the almond cake was actually almond and labneh (again not really to our taste). The babka however was a great way to finish the night.
