I was never really a fan of shawarmas and didn't know anything about good shawarma places around until a friend recommended Lazeez to me. I decided to give this place a try because why not. I mean who really wants to cook dinner during midterms week anyways right? I ordered the recommended and most basic dish there which was the chicken shawarma wrap with mid spice. I always thought I could take spicy foods well but after having their shawarma I question my spice tolerance... For the price, the portion you get is not bad and the service was pretty quick. I would have to say this place did live up to its hype as other shawarma places like Shawarma Plus didn't do me justice (shawarma was a bit too dry for my liking) and I'll probably go back again if I'm craving shawarmas. read more

Lazeez Shawarma - cut in half - Mediterranean Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

I just got diarrhea after eating their chicken salad. it is painful and embarrassing for me as I am still working.

There are better places around the area than lazeez. It is really pricey for what it is and doesn't hit the same as other spots as they have better toppings. I ordered the lazeez on rocks, extra hot, found that it wasn't that spicy and lacked depth that a lot of other places have. read more

Took them 40 min to make my order it was very simple and when I called multiple times no one answered don't give them your money they are incompetent and terrible staff. read more

Chicken Shawarma Platter and Greek Salad This was FANTASTIC! The Shawarma was outstanding and filling and the salad was outstanding! Will definitely be going back read more

Four words; they can do better Coming here from living in an Arab country for most of my life, the chicken shawarma they make here is very disappointing. But I know a lot of people who live this place, I just don't get the hype. I guess everyone's taste buds are just different idk read more

I just tried Lazeez in Richmond Hill for the first time. the hound man working there was so friendly. He asked me to write a review if I liked it...and I did. the price was good, size was decent. it had lots of flavour. I have tried many shawarma places before and this one was up there with my favourites. Would definitely recommend it! the only criticism I have would be that they use hot banana pepper rings which I feel like u could get some more authentic hot peppers. read more

Exam season in full swing and I've pretty much lost the little motivation I had to cook my own meals, so I've been resorting to getting take outs for a while. After the disappointment that was Shawerma Plus I didn't feel like trying out a similar restaurant, but my friend convinced me to give Lazeez a try because apparently, the portions are a lot better. I got the Regular sized Lazeez on the Rocks platter ($6.99) with half fries half rice (+$1) per my friend's recommendation. It was a generous layer of shawarma beef on top of rice and fries, with a think layer a garlic sauce drizzled on top with a dash of hot sauce. It was sooooo greasy and also soooooo satisfying. Definitely the comfort food I needed after a long day of studying!!! The portion size was good too, I had enough leftover for a second meal the following day, and it still tasted decent after getting reheated in the microwave. Would definitely revisit, and hope the new location at Waterloo plaza will offer the same quality of food as this location. PS. the hot sauce is VERY spicy, don't try to test your limits by asking for too much read more

Cheap but you get what you pay for. I tried the lazeez on the sticks. (Basically lazeez on the rocks with fries) It was pretty cheap, only 8.99 for a large and a little more than 10 after tax. Overall it was kinda boring. Yes, it is meat on fries with sauce. It was pretty decent at the beginning, but then you realize it is just a bucket of fries and meat, and the pieces of meat are lower quality when compared with any of the shawarma places in the surrounding area (shawarma royale, shawerma plus, mozy) I got the medium heat, but found that pretty spicy. I usually get hot sauce at mozy and the otherwise, but the level 3 medium felt flaming. I'll probably try their shawarma some other time to compare between the shawarma places. read more

Been here a few times and always get lazeez on the rocks. I've had it with rice, fries, and potatoes but I think that my favourite combination would be half fries and half rice. Potatoes are $1 extra and salads are $3 extra. Their sauces are really good! Wish they put a little bit of veggies in their regular meals, would make the meal more refreshing. Proportions are pretty large/decent size. The large was $8.99 and the regular was $6.99z Staff were okay, could tell they were high, saw one holding cigarettes (with plastic gloves on), put them away, then proceeded to prepare food.. read more

10/10. Fries have flour on them I think tho, so not GF friendly, but yum. The guys were nice when I went.

Lazeez offers a variety of grilled Middle Eastern foods with most opting for either a chicken shawarma wrap or plate. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate which also came with a side salad. I found that the rice was cooked well, with a slight bite to it. I like it, do normal people like it like that? Salad was plain, just lettuce, pickled vegetables and onions with a light dressing. The chicken was similar to Mozy's, albeit with slightly larger pieces (I assume you know Mozy's if you're reading this...) so I would say it's better. The staff here were definitely high and were super confused with everything, though this was pretty comical. Overall, I'd come back here over Mozy's but Shawarma Plus is still the top dog! read more

Lazeez Shawarma - outside of restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

I like this location. The young guy who works there is friendly and works fast. I haven't had a bad experience here yet

I'm quite familiar with the Lazeez in Mississauga as I used to go here on the regs with my brother. We'd drive 15 mins (despite the many shawarma places in our area) just to get Lazeez. So when I saw the one in Waterloo open up, I was surprised and soooo happy since I'm frequently in Waterloo too! I've only ever gotten Lazeez on the rocks & the philly cheesesteak at this location. I order Lazeez on the Rocks with fries and rice (half and half) and ask for extra hot sauce on the side (it's super hot!). Quality is consistently good for this. Service is good too - the men working there are very laid back and friendly. It's not out of this world, but for the price, you get what you pay for... Even more! read more

This is my favorite shwarma place in Waterloo which may surprise people since Mozys usually takes the crown. The portion may not be as big as Mozys but their chicken tastes better seasoned and their side salad is eons better than most places. They offer feta cheese along with a wider selection of veggies. To top it off they offer proper salad dressing instead of garlic sauce over everything. Only thing holding them back is their service and consistency. Sometimes the guys don't know their own menu outside of the shwarma options, which is strange... They often flat out don't have gyro, Philly cheese, or falafel either All I know is that their chicken shwarma plate with half rice half salad is always delicious. Note that their hot sauce is no joke. I really like spicy food and I stick with mild or medium read more

Love their chicken on the rocks/sticks! They really bring the heat as well as you go further up their spiciness levels. Good food at decent prices! The place itself is pretty no-frills and I've never eaten in, only done takeout. read more

We always order the regular size Chicken on the Stix and Chicken Salad. I recently tried the Falafel and it was phenomenal - we love the garlic sauce here, there is nothing like it that we have experienced in the area. Serving and taste is definitely getting what you pay for! The only problem is the stomach issues we get the day after. If you've got an important appointment tomorrow, don't eat Lazeez today - you'll be in the bathroom most of the day. read more

Forgive me, Lazeez, for my transgressions. You were five stars all along. read more

Lazeez Shawarma - Lazeez on the rocks - Mediterranean Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

I am no stranger to middle-eastern food! This place is actually really good. The food is fresh, tasty and has nice flavours. However, I like my garlic sauce a bit stronger than that. The garlic sauce here is too creamy for me but that's just me. I ordered Lazeez on the rocks and it was delicious. If you want a mix of Chicken and Beef they make you pay 3 dollars more even though your getting the same amount of meat which I found a bit annoying. Their lentil rice was really good, and their hot sauce is EXTREMELY hot! I got excited to see that they sell Snapple drinks which really helped with the crazy heat I wasn't expecting from my meal!!! read more

Lazeez Shawarma - Lazeez on the Rocks (Extra Hot) - Mediterranean Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

See all

Staff is very rude and I've noticed this at more than one location that they are busy chatting amongst themselves and they practically throw the food at the counter and turn their back as they continue chatting. It just seems like they don't appreciate or put much stalk in being generally courteous or respectful towards customer. I have noticed this several times at multiple locations now and I was being careful not to be rude to them because I want to leave a fair review. Also, I wasn't entirely sure why they are behaving this way because until last year I found their service to be ok but it just seems their success may be getting to their heads or they just don't appreciate customers. In that case, Its just fair to take my business somewhere else and spend money elsewhere. Enough with this rude customer service model. read more

Fantastic wrap. It was huge. Very friendly people too. I plan to have lunch there every time I visit Brampton. Great work!

Best Shawarma in KW by Far! Unlike overrated Mozy's dry meat, Meat is much thicker and comes in bigger pieces Also, the rice is amazing ! the rice is Afghan not Arab, which explains the softer and tasteful experience of it. Price is cheap, for waterloo standard. Amazing staff! been here 5 times, and always an amazing experience. read more

Ordered a wrap and fries tonight, the wrap was pretty decent came with lots of toppings and chicken/sauce but the fries were awful, they were cold and definitely were sitting out for awhile they tasted stale they were hard and also looked like they were deep fried more than once, other then that it was alright. I'd go back again just not for fries. read more

Poor selection of vegetarian options unless you just want pieces of falafel smothered in cream sauce. Staff are not familiar with their own menu. read more

Lazeez while a very well known name is only an average meal at best. The beef can be a real hit or miss, but in general is very fatty and gristly. The fries and rice are absolutely nothing special with the fries being very plain and the rice having no flavour. The redeeming quality to this chain is the garlic sauce which is where all the flavour lies. Overall, a mediocre meal. read more

Ordered through a delivery app, asked for extra garlic sauce and they didn't put any on! got my drink wrong and didn't put any sauce on the wrap either!! very disappointed with this place. don't order at night time as they like supervision i guess. read more

Pretty average shawarma platter. The sauces were not as flavorful as they should be, and the meat was dry. Finishing the meal became a bit of an ordeal. The place didn't look very clean - clearly hygiene isn't a priority. You should avoid this place, and instead visit Shawarma Plus or Mozy's, both of which are nearby, and serve much better shawarma fare, in a clean environment. read more

I have never experienced customer service like this in my entire life. I went into Lazeez tonight and ordered 2 wraps for my girlfriend and I who is allergic to sesame (ingredient in tahini). I ordered first and then my girlfriend ordered after. They proceeded to make my sandwich and then messed up the order (Gave the sandwich to another customer, as said on the phone by the girl working there but we'll get to that later). They then re made the sandwich, gave it to my girlfriend saying this was hers. After she explicitly told them no sauce due to allergies, they confirmed that there was none. As soon as she ate the food she has an immediate allergic reaction causing nausea and swelling. I then called lazeez to explain them the situation and their response? Go somewhere else, we don't need your business. I am a long time customer of Lazeez and enjoy their food very much. However as quoted by the employee over the phone, my 10$ is not worth her 3 hour conversation and I should just go to Burger King or McDonald's! All I was looking for was a simple apology, not a refund or free sandwich. I hope they realize their mistake for future customers but I will not be buying their food anymore. read more

This place has delicious food but what are the hours? The sign in the window says on Saturday they are open until 2am, the yelp page says 11pm, Google says 2am and yet I went in at 9:50 and the guy said come on in but a girl said they had already put everything away and she couldn't help me. Also this place is not first timer friendly. I've been going there for a while and know how things work but they look and sound extremely inconvenienced when you ask questions. read more

smaller portions compared to the mississauga location (or am i just imagining it??? unless they shrunk serving sizes across the board). mozys sauces are definitely better. they need to import some arab sauga mans with white BMWs and a timmies parking lot to complete the experience though. read more

The prices have been raised at the Waterloo location on King Street. This writing as off 16 June 2018. Ripping off the students is not a good thing. People should boycott this location and others too just like Tim Hortons is taking a beating. Bring these fools back to earth. There is no justification for the dish to be 20% more in Waterloo from Mississauga read more
