Whatevs. The service was good, no issues. I had the Chana masala lunch meal, and while the salad was a bit on the scrawny side, the rest of the meal did not disappoint! The naan was especially delicious, and the entree was flavorful and just the right spice. Lunch was around $13, which for today is pretty decent I guess. I'd definitely come back for more.

They have plenty of offerings that you'd find at any Indian restaurant, but I sought to try something called recheado. The use of vinegar in addition to a range of Indian spices creates a strong and memorable flavor. I got it with paneer. I've been ordering medium rather than Indian hot spice levels lately due to some stomach issues, and I will say that this place's spice levels are the real deal. Even medium was considerable and I would not ask them to do the full spice level unless you really mean it. I appreciated the option to order two small vegetable dishes as an entree; variety is good. I also added a mouthwatering bread and a side of pickled carrots for a more authentic experience. It was heavy comfort food, but it didn't seem to harm my stomach and it did excite my tastebuds as expected.

It's hard for me to say this but Lazeez might take the cake too. The Haggat Nihari Raan may be the best Indian dish I have ever eaten. Shoot might be top 5 all time in general. I have had dreams about this dish since I last ate it. The service was spectacular. I wish I had gotten the name of our server because he was friendly, helpful, and hilarious. Our host on the other hand was not. She was quite rude. Asked if we had reservations then rolled her eyes when we said we did not. The restaurant was almost entirely empty. Came close to not even trying this marvelous establishment. Would come again. And avoid the host of possible.

Dinner date with my husband and I'm so glad we found Lazeez. We had assistance from our kind and patient waiter to veganize the appetizer crispy collards, pind de cholly and the okra dish. Since the rice is made with butter, he offered quinoa as an alternative base and that was a perfect pairing. The restaurant itself is upscale and simply romantic. Our server was a total sweetheart. Our food was some of the finest Indian cuisine we've ever had, masterfully displayed on unique black pottery dishes. Yes: vegan options

Thursday, 5.15.2025. Lunch, Afghan Kabob. Charlottesville, VA. I had just had a medical procedure…read moreat the University of Virginia Hospital that resulted in following a liquids-only diet for the past 36 hours. My husband and I close this restaurant to break my fast. We were greeted quickly by the hostess who led us to booth seating, and gave us menus. There was no need though, as we had already spotted the all-you-can-eat buffet. We requested only water to go with our meals; she quickly brought a carafe of chilled water and two glasses. This is a generous buffet with many selections for a complete meal, from soup and salad to dessert. There was a good variety of both meat and vegetarian options. Our FAVORITES included the fresh mixed chickpea salad (the chick peas, cucumbers, tomato, onion, parsley); lamb curry (which featured tender boneless and tender meat); rice pilau with raisins and carrots; borani badenjan (eggplant curry. Tip: drizzle yogurt on this);; bamia (okra) curry; firnee milk pudding (dessert); and the addictive dooth pati chai (spiced milk tea). There were also some items that we didn't enjoy as much but were still good. For instance, the chicken kofta meatballs, while nicely spiced, were very dry. And, the nan bread was disappointing. (There were also many additional good choices on the buffet that are not listed here). The ambiance in the restaurant is comfortable, with many paintings and decorations from Afghanistan. Some tables are in a side room, ideal for small groups or privacy. We noticed, but didn't visit, a downstairs shop with Afghan carpets and other goods. Plus, there's a shop on the side that sells groceries. Parking is plentiful and free. The lunch buffet was $17.99 each, plus VA sales tax (6.3%), city meals tax (5.3%), credit card service free (3.5%), and tip (variable). There are cheaper options available if you order from the menu. We would return when next in Charlottesville.
