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.

I had an amazing experience at KifKif. The service was very good, with all the staff attentive and making sure we enjoyed the experience. The place itself is beautiful, a nice atmosphere with cool Israeli pictures. The food itself was delicious, amazing hummus, fluffy warm pita and the salmon skewer was delicious! The only thing is the portions are pretty small for the price, so you need a lot of dishes. The halloumi also was a little rubbery. I would definitely go back for a special occasion!

I had the most amazing experience at Kif Kif! I went with friends and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. We were greeted right at the entrance and everyone was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. The food was absolutely incredible! This is by far the best hummus and pita I have ever had, and we genuinely loved every single dish we ordered. You can really feel the care and quality that goes into the food. I also highly recommend the drinks. The Rose Petal and the Green Mirage were both amazing and such a perfect addition to the meal! This is hands down the best Middle Eastern restaurant I have ever been to. I will definitely be coming back!

Amazing Middle Eastern cuisine, fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced spices, and very generous portions. The staff is kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. A wonderful restaurant in Montreal that deserves support and praise.

I had a great experience at Kif Kif - really loved the food, the service and the vibe. The restaurant is really beautiful - I sat at the marble bar and the bar chairs are incredibly comfortable. The hot fresh pita is the best I've had in Montreal - even better than at Damas. The hummus is amazing - super silky and smooth. I LOVED the lamb chops and the labneh and beet salad - the salad is so fresh and well balanced and the lamb chops are perfectly seasoned and cooked a perfect medium pink - just the way I like to eat a rack of lamb/lamb chops. I thought the beef skewers were also really delicious - very well-marinated and tender. Oh, and GET THE BABKA. Looking forward to my next visit to try the schnitzel, the braised lamb, the muhammara, and the crunchy salad - all the dishes the lovely hostess said were her favourite.

The service was noticeably slow, and the food took a very long time to arrive. The menu seems to be aiming for Middle Eastern flavors, but the execution didn’t quite land, the dishes looked the part but lacked the depth and authenticity in taste. For the price point, it felt overpriced, especially when there are many other Middle Eastern spots nearby that offer far better flavor and value

Hi Abdulla - we are surprised by this review. Our chef de cuisine is Iranian, many of the dishes inspired by his mom's cooking. We pride ourselves on the authenticity of our food and we're saddened it didn't read that way for you. Hopefully you'll give us another chance to wow you. We recommend visiting earlier (5-7pm) and on a Wednesday or Sunday when we aren't as packed. Thanks!

Overpriced, food was bland, and imagine having to pay 5$ for an extra pita! I’ve been to so many authentic middle eastern restaurants, they offer unlimited free fresh pita with the food! Cheap owners!

Hi Ibrahim - thanks for the feedback.. Our pita is artisanal and very labor intensive to make, we are so so proud of it. If everyone filled up on pita, they wouldn't have the opportunity to try the rest of our food, and we are not just a pita restaurant. Our portions and recipes are all intentional and we're sorry you didn't read it that way. Hopefully you will give us another chance to wow you soon.

Maybe 1* is harsh, but I'm gonna start calling it the "ratan chair" phenomenon. Go to a place where the chairs are ratan and they'll overcharge you for mid food and service, 9 times out of 10.

Hi There, if you have any constructive feedback for us, we'd be happy to address it. You can do this by emailing the manager directly at [email protected] PS. disagree with your theory, our chairs are super cute, comfortable and add to the overall vibe we so lovingly crafted.

Sampled: vegetable slaw, pita with tomato and cheese-like a mini pizza, eggplant spread-served with pita, chicken skewers with yogurt sauce, beet salad, chocolate babka. Meal was great! Went early so it was quiet. Lovely ambience. Looking forward to trying their lunch menu.

We loved the food and atmosphere here! We sat at the bar and talked to the bartender a lot, she was super attentive! The muhammara and eggplant dips were delicious. We got the schnitzel as our main and loved that too! We're already planning to come back to try more things on the menu.

Amazing experience at Kif Kif. The food was absolutely delicious and the style of the restaurant is beautiful and welcoming. The service was great from start to finish. I really loved the Persian inspiration behind many of the dishes (although not a persian restaurant) — it felt unique and thoughtfully done. What stood out most is how the restaurant incorporates influences from different cultures into the food, creating something creative and memorable. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back.

One of the best restaurant experiences! An absolutely outstanding dining experience at Kif Kif from start to finish. The food was simply incredible — for me, taste is everything, and this place exceeded all expectations. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the quality was unmistakable. I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle Persian touch added to a Mediterranean cuisine; it was unique, creative, and worked beautifully. The atmosphere was just as impressive. The decor is thoughtfully designed, with great attention to detail — especially the lighting, which really elevated the overall ambiance and made the space feel warm and inviting. Our waitress was super friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The manager, Pierre, was kind enough to come greet us personally — such a well-spoken, professional, and genuinely pleasant person. It truly shows when leadership cares about the guests. We were also lucky enough to meet the chef, Alireza. What an amazing job he’s done. Not only was his food exceptional, but he is also incredibly welcoming and friendly. You can feel his passion in the dishes he creates. I genuinely can’t wait to go back and experience more of his food — I see a very bright future ahead for him in the food industry. Highly recommend. This place is a gem, and I’ll definitely be returning.
