Menu for a first timer could be a little daunting but if you know what to expect with middle eastern food then ok. I assumed rice came with my dish rather that read it. Having said that the service was good and the food was good tasting and not expensive. The Lebanese coffee was great - hit the right balance... More

We visited Kanzaman again for the first time in a few years and our experience was the same as it has always been - good food, friendly service and a great atmosphere. I called around lunchtime to get a booking for that evening which was a Saturday and the hostess took my booking and told me she'd look forward to... More

Went there as was recommended by friends, only to be disappointed. Food was very bland, entertainment was good, but that's it.

A family run business that goes out of their way to accommodate all appetites. We had a vegetarian and so they suggested to alter their portions to ensure everyone was happy. We dined on a Saturday night and a belly dancer performed at 9pm which was a bit of fun. We had locals, interstate guests and fine diners in our... More

Always a first stop on our trips to Melbourne, Kanzaman's consistently high food quality and eye popping decor make it a fun place to eat. Nothing much outside usual middle eastern fare but all is carefully prepared and presented. Excellent lamb fillets and fish as well as the standard array of dips and pastries.

The service is fantastic and so is the food - I have been here on several occasions and the standard is just exceptional! On certain nights they also have a belly dancer which really makes you feel like you are no longer in Melbourne!

If you are a fan of middle eastern food, this is the palce for you. They are a family run business who also own Zum Zum's in Rathdown Street in Carlton, which is also amazing!

We dined here last night with friends and the food was fantastic - plenty of variety and tasty lebanese dishes. We opted for the full banquet and the delicious morsels came out with perfect timing. The belly dancer was exotic and entertained all of the tables - the atmosphere was fabulous with the music and dancing. The value for what... More
