48 Main Street Markham N, Markham, ON L3P 1X5, Canada
Beautiful clean cozy Caribbean restaurant in an historical heritage building located on 48 Main st N.Markham.
Unfortunately my Bake & Saltfish sandwich didn’t meet my expectations, my bake was fried too dark and just absorbed too much oil. While I am aware saltfish contains a lot of moisture my bake was soggy in sections when it arrived. I did end up visiting on day which there were breaker issues so I don’t know if that played a role. The saltfish itself was quite flavourful and I enjoyed the Passion Nojito.
Excellent all around. A feeling of home with food and service to match. My family had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday dinner and everyone loved the food
The food and service here was excellent! My friends and I loved shared appetizer platter. The shrimp, plantain, cauliflower, jerk wings, and salt fish balls were all unreal. Would definitely recommend and come again!
Went for lunch I honestly can’t wait to go back. Food is so delicious, but the better part is the portion size for the price! If you buy take away Caribbean food you know how much the cost is, however for a few dollars literally a few more you’re getting so much more and much tastier. The only thing I’d say I don’t really care for is the soda prices that’s the only dislike as they are almost the same price as the cocktails, so indulge in the cocktails ha ha! But shout out to the chef you’re food is perfection!
On a warm day the outside patio sets the stage for a nice evening of great soca music coupled with a fabulous Caribbean tasting experience. Inside is clean and cultural with paintings from various artists on the walls with QR codes to view their work online promoting black art! This place adds excitement to local dining in Markham with a classy flair. The Sorrell Mimosas are a must try they taste amazing and made the dinner taste even better. The oxtail was seasoned to perfection and fell off the bone. Spinach and MacPie was flavourful. Waitresses were helpful and made sure we wanted for nothing, VERY worth it!! I shall return and I must come back!!
A great find while walking the downtown Markham strip in search of a 'local hidden gem' to celebrate our 19th Anniversary over a nice dinner. The charming exterior with all their colourful flowers & plants grown by Ms. Laz Herself is what drew us in first. Anyone that takes that meticulous care & effort of plants surely would for food as well. Super-friendly Chef-Owner/Operator Extraordinaire Ms. Laz filled our bellies starting with the airy, not-greasy but golden crunchy fritters (assorted saltfish & spinach) which I opted to pair with their Passionfruit Margarita since it was our anniversary dinner, and Hubby went with their house beer. After our palates were tickled with course 1, we thrn dove into a hefty portion of their yummy Seafood Bacchanal 🦞🦐, which luckily for us since it was Wednesday, was on special for $65, regularly $75. Without hesitating to state, it was Damn very Tasty & just a hint of heat in the back of the throat😋, loaded with a wide selection of fresh seafoods including lobster🦞, crab🦀, baby potatoes, broccoli & corn. It did NOT disappoint, and with plenty of tasty sauce for Hubby to sop up with their fresh hot bread (as stuffed as he was already...he couldnt leave that sauce behind 🤭😆) To finish, they surprised us with a cassava pone cake topped wth sparklers and an anniversary greeting. A great finish that was a perfect balance of just a light kiss of sweetness and creaminess with an ever-so-thin outer layer crisp just done perfectly👌 Chef Laz even came out towards the meal end to wish us a Happy Anniversary, to speak with us about our meal & experience feedback. She truly is heartfelt and enjoys connecting with her patrons. How often does 1 get this attentive dining service?? Our server/hostess -Jasmin, was attentive, friendly & on the ball❗ She is an absolute doll and the epitome of a great Hostess-Server.Period‼ She is -just like Chef Laz, GREAT! We look forward to returning for another delicious caribbean culinary delight🙆🏽♀️
We booked a 60th birthday celebration. From the initial conversation with Jerry and the catering team, l felt we were in good hands. The service was excellent. The staff were polite and attentive, going above beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The Caribbean Soul Food special was indeed special, giving us great options and an unbelievable portion size. We had the upstairs for our gathering that provided an intimate setting with great ambiance. Overall it was an incredible dining experience. Highly recommend
I must say the food was amazing! Totally worth going. I was so surprised because I wasn’t expecting for it but the food was amazing, even the French fries were great, it came in big portions, the environment is very chill as well One of the best meals I had in Toronto for sure . I ordered the burger and the pork ribs.
Cherry,Ashley, Aseel,Janae,Laz,Tyonne thank you so much for having us. You guys were the greatest thank you for taking care of us during our Christmas party. Great experience, great food and better staff. 10/10 recommend
I attended a company dinner at Laz Authentic Cuisine Inc last night, and it was the worst dining experience Ive ever had. Our party was booked for 6 PM, but the dining table wasnt set up until about 35 minutes later. The chef arrived over an hour late, and we were all starving at that point. Additionally, there were very few choices for non-alcoholic drinks; not even a simple lemonade was available, so I had to settle for water instead. Although we had pre-ordered our food some time ago, the server repeatedly asked us what we wanted, and many of our orders were still incorrect. We received our main dishes at 9 PM, and with dessert, we finished our meal close to 10 PM, which is unreasonable for a dinner party that was supposed to start at 6 PM. Overall, the service was inadequate, and the food did not live up to the many positive reviews I had seen. I had previously tried the oxtail dish, but it was underwhelming. The servers were somewhat aloof and a bit rude, and there was no proper apology for the delays or any offer of a discount. To top it all off, they still charged us an 18% gratuity, which I found completely unacceptable. I will be putting Laz Authentic Cuisine Inc on my blacklist and will not recommend it to any of my friend.
Best place ever. Loved so much.
Ashley and Cherry served me here and i had a great time during the holiday season. They were very detailed with the drinks they served me. I also recommend the oxtail here.
Cherry and Ashley were so amazing and customer service was top of the line great service very nice and friendly. Have an amazing time
We had our annual christmas party booked in advance with 30+ guest on December 20th. The reservation was at 6pm, when we arrived, the table is not set up. Our choice of food was pre-ordered, the server ask us 3 round for what each of us order but at the end still got it wrong. The worst part, we did not get our main dish until 9:00pm. It came out one by one, some of us had to wait till 9:30pm for our main dish and some of the seleted items were wrong too. Any how at the end they still charge us 18% tips which we think they don t deserve any. We understand it is a small resturant, but if you don t have the capability to host a large group, don t accept it. The owner said they have host more guest before and don t know what happened this time, but still think they deserve 18% tips after offered such a bad experience to our group. We will never go to this place again and will not recommand anyone to go there.
This restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and a really cool concept. The service was friendly, and I could see this place becoming a local favorite. However, the food left a lot to be desired. The prices were significantly higher than I expected. I paid a whopping $28 for a plate of jerk chicken that felt like it could have been a starter elsewhere. For that price, I could have easily gotten a half-chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet with all the fixings. To add insult to injury, the portion sizes were incredibly small. The chicken wings I ordered were practically bite-sized. My friends oxtail, while flavorful, was overly soft and fell apart easily. Overall, this restaurant has a ton of potential to be great. With more competitive pricing and larger portions, Id definitely be back.
Fffffffff This is the 5 hours for nothing. Bad service Food
Mandatory 18% tip. First time meeting. Jue Juezi. The key is not to pour a glass of water during service. Remind n times to get water. I dropped my fork several times while carrying a plate. The face smells bad. No apology either. No discounts either. Dinner starts at six oclock with a reservation. At half past five, the venue has not been decorated yet. We waited four or five hours for the real dinner at nine oclock. My friend ate it at ten oclock. Hungry to the point of having a stomach attack. We ended up going home at 10:30.
We had a great time at Laz Restaurant, my wife and I took a party for 12 people. They all enjoyed it, the food was amazing and the service was great. I highly recommend Laz Authentic Cuisine.
This review is not just for one food. Ive tried different dishes, you can close your eyes and let the tastes take you beyond the imagination. Staff are very caring and friendly, the atmosphere is good also. I asked Chefs name, Laz, and she is a pro. Perfect for a date night
Lovely environment! Food was delicious and our waitress Alexia was absolutely lovely. Definitely will be back.
Fantastic group lunch! Great service and friendly staff. Table setting was beautiful
Everything we ate here was fantastic, service on point, vibe and atmosphere was great too. Loved the black art on the wall. Definitely would come back and bring family and friends. I ate the oxtail.
Great Eats, Great Service Parking: Parking in the back of building Food : 5/5 |
Ive been to Laz many times never disappointed. Always on point. Great service great food nice vibes.
Great food! Great service! Our server Aseel was fantastic.
Great food and great service! Highly recommend the curry pineapple paneer!
Nice service, all the he ladies were nice, Cherry was very kind.
Great food and service Cherry! We will be back.
Our group of 8 visited on a Friday evening. The restaurant itself is lovely, nice atmosphere, decor, clean bathrooms, well appointed; however, service was poor and way overpriced. The food quality lack luster in taste and portions small. We did try their $70 appetizer which arrived on a charcuterie board filled with wings, shrimp, conch fritters and fried plantains, (split between 4 of us), this was very tasty, but when brought to our table the waitress dripped the sauce from this dish down the arm of our friend, staining his shirt and leather jacket hanging on the back of his chair. A mere apology was uttered and extra napkins offered, sad. My order of Oxtail consisted of 4 pieces of Oxtail, 1 was completely bone with no meat on it at all. This was accompanied by 4 tablespoons of Macaroni and cheese, which had no taste, 5 cauliflower florets and literally 3 shavings of a carrot, all of which was hard and undercooked. The price for my meal was $35!! In good consciousness how do charge these prices for such small portions?? In addition to of all this we waited about an hour before any of our meals were served. Again, there were 8 of us and nobody was terribly impressed with their food. Another friend ordered the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese., after she and her husband each tried a bite, they told our waitress it tasted off and refused to eat it. Nothing else was offered, no attempts were made to make up for any of these miss steps, very bad customer service!!! To top it all off, they gave themselves 18% gratuity, without informing us in advance. Pretty presumptuous and a poor business practice to not tell your patrons first. After all the great reviews, this experience was beyond disappointing. We will not be returning and sadly cannot reccomend this establishment after such a terrible dinner.
It was the most Amazing Fine Dining Caribbean cuisine experience.My pallette is still in awe!.Food was great portions, full of tantalizing flavors and the presentation was beautiful!! The atmosphere gave cozy, and home vibes. The interior design was that of the Caribbean.I celebrated my birthday with my family and friends and we all had a fabulous time! Drinks was delicious and exquisite with a nice kick! I felt like I was home. The music was great as well.We would be back very soon! Hopefully on a day when they have the live performance. Highly recommended for anyone willing to have Fine Dining Caribbean cuisine!!! LAZ is the place to go!!
Had to wait over an hour for two dishes this place is extremely expensive Music was enjoyable Overall Ive had better oxtail Food : 2/5
Great Caribbean spot with an elevated take on the theme. And prices to match. We had a bunch of apps - Pepper Shrimp, Yuca Fries, Fried Plantains, Doubles platter - and everything was really good. Will definitely be back to try the mains.
Amazing food and service! Vicky was soo amazing
Great service, with amazing food options! I loved the Caribbean vibe/music and the location.
Too rich. Got sick later ... Food
We loved the experience. It truly was celebration for my friend. Sunday special was a great deal to experience different sides. Definitely coming again.
What a find, this blue heritage building in Markham Village. I heard the melodic bass tones of reggae music floating on the late afternoon breeze. I made my way to the building to discover it was Laz a Caribbean restaurant. I was warmly greeted by Vicky who introduced me to the menu. Being vegetarian I was a little sceptical but all my doubts were quelled when I looked at the wide selection of vegetarian options. I chose the jerk plant based burger and the bread pudding for dessert. The whole thing was delicious and Vicki was a great host. I would definitely be going back and I would highly recommend it for great evening out.
This restaurant/oasis is out of this world . Love the entire setting and food. This is the closest atmosphere to home (Jamaica). One love . Food
My family and I did Thanksgiving dinner at Laz Cuisine. The service was great and the food was fantastic. The turkey was flavourful and the stuffing was sweet! I topped it all of it with sorrel mimosas! Would highly recommend.
The atmosphere was very welcoming. The owners took time to interact with our table. The menu wasnt elaborate but had what I liked.
We went for Thanksgiving dinner it was like being at home. Excellent service nice ambiance. Will definitely be back
Cherry was the Best!
The food was very delicious - I highly recommend the spinach rice! There was a bit of a wait time to get our food but otherwise the service was good
Really amazing food here! I had the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas and absolutely loved it! Our waitress Cherry was also very sweet. She treated us to a sample of their Sorrel drink and it was really good! The only thing I wish they d improve is their food preparation time. We waited almost 40 minutes for our two main dishes to arrive.
Great food, great staff, great ambiance. Our server Cherry was amazing.
Great outdoor patio, service was amazing!
Delicious Caribbean food, excellent treatment ,classy atmosphere in Markham.
This place is a nice spot for drinks on the patio while enjoying some great vibes. Their food took way to long to be served - 70 minutes to be exact. I thought it was because it was a new place,but I understand this place has been open since 2022. The food was ok. It could have been more hot in terms of temperature and for the price, I expected a bit larger portion. The staff are extremely friendly and I will absolutely come back to support them, but likely just for drinks. Im routing for this place to do a bit better because Markham was long Overdue for a place like this. Good luck guys and Ill definitely be back!!
Needless to say, the oxtail and curry goat were amazing! Mac pie was by far the best side dish! The staff makes sure you feel welcomed and catered to, especially Jasmine, her food and drinks recommendations were spot on, she even made requested adjustments to the drinks. This place makes you feel like family, itll bring you back to The Islands for sure.
We were the only 4 guests in the restaurant. Waited over 1 hr for our food. Waitress did come over and apologize saying the head chef was called away for an emergency this was 1 hr after we placed our order. My sons entree came before the rest of ours. The other 3 entrees came out and my son already finished his. The food was terrible and dry. After all this, not even a break on our bill. Paid $166 for dinner and my husband ended up getting McDonalds on the way home. Very dissatisfied and disappointed
The appetizers tasted a lot better than the food, the food took almost an 1hr to arrive and the portion wasnt the greatest. Servers were polite and environment was nice. I had the smoked barbecue jerk chicken, it was dried no barbecue sauce or any side sauce. My partner had the oxtail (5 pieces medium in size) well cooked, some flavour but still small in portion. Parking: Parking at the restaurant is still unsure but there is a building opposite the restaurant you can park behind and its free.
Went to check this restaurant out with my husband who also like fine dining like myself and I will say I was not disappointed. Living in Markham for over 20yrs and finally a Caribbean boujee restaurant with amazing staff it worth every penny
Great experience. Food was tasty and would definitely recommend. Parking: Lots of parking around the corner on Centre Street Food : 4/5 |
Didn t think main st Markham had anymore hidden gems left but they in fact do. Excellent food and drinks, place should be way busier than it was will absolutely go again
What a wonderful restaurant! The food and service were outstanding. We ll definitely be back to try their weekend menu too!
Passed by and tried. The food is an average, just pub food. The minus is the red wine. It is a really warm red wine, not room temperature. I wonder they put the wine under the sun! How can they serve the warm wine to customer even it is $6???
Cherry is the best, food too
The ambience is amazing. Great music on the patio. Very professional and friendly staff. The food is vey authentic and flavourful. You have to dine out at Laz authentic cuisine.
We had a group of 11 people the service was great. We were well informed of the menu and great suggestions were made as to our choices. Overall the group was very happy and look forward to returning soon. Thanks for the great service.
The food was great! We ordered alot of the seafood dishes and we devoured all of it. Highly recommend and would definitely go again.
Delicious food and loved the music! Definitely recommend for a night out. Will be coming back
We have been to Laz a few times and food and drinks was very good. Everyone in our party was very satisfied with their food. Very nice to sit on the patio on a nice summer eve. After our dinner the owner/chef came out to. Heck on us which I thought was a great added touch.
Vicky was amazing! The food and experience was great.
Dietary restrictions: It was great to have Gluten Free options. Food
Sherry was a pleasant hostess.
First time visiting was very impressed. The staff we met very friendly and courteous . The food was amazing. Will definitely come back and recommend to others. You Gotta Eat Here
Great job from jasmine
Went for Fathers Day Saturday during the Markham music festival. Sevice was a bit slow due to the restaurant being busy but the servers were very friendly and hospitable. The food was good overall, however, my husband ordered oxtail and the first batch received was not the traditional kind. The blackened oxtail was a bit too burnt and chewy. But when we told them we were not happy with it, they brought traditional stewed oxtail as a replacement and it was great..... Nice environment and people.....
We visited Laz with a group of eight on a Thursday night, and I must admit, I initially thought it would be just another West Indian food joint. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was exceptional. I highly recommend the shareable platter, the pineapple jerk salmon fillet, and the corn soup (I wish I had the recipe!). The staff was fantastic, and the owner, LAZ, was genuinely charming and hospitable. Cant wait to go back to explore the vegetarian friendly menu. Vegetarian options: There were too many to try in one sitting
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. My only negative, is the music choice for dinner could be more instrumental rather than songs with lyrics. Some songs lyrics were very graphic. But over all, AMAZING Food : 5/5
Just enjoyed a wonderful night with friends (none from Markham) and even got to hang out with Laz and Jerry for drinks on the beautiful patio. We enjoyed eating curried crab, fish cakes, pepper shrimp, wings and mango salad. Highly recommend.
Caribbean cuisine at its finest. This was my 4th visit in 4 months. I tried the Seafood dish for the first time - lobster, crab, mussels and shrimp with potatoes, broccoli and slivers of corn on the cob. If you are a seafood lover you are in for a treat. The presentation was fantastic and the dish itself flavourful and absolutely delectable - worth every penny. Compliments to the chef. Our waitress was all smiles, efficient and attentive to us from beginning to end.
Delicious homemade and flavourful food!!!
Had a great experience. The food was wonderful definitely would go back. Our server Janae was very friendly and helpful with the decision making for our mains
Amazing service. Will be back
Patricia made sure our first visit to Laz Authentic would not be our last. Food was incredible, we highly recommend the pepper shrimp with maple jerk sauce! Food was served hot and full of flavour. Honestly such a cute restaurant both inside and out.
Last nights dinner was absolutely amazing! The service was great! We will definitely go back again.
Amazing place with great food, drink and vibes!
Our server Jasmine was amazing! My family has been coming here for all of our events. Food, drinks and atmosphere are amazing. Highly recommend.
I met with the owner (Gerry) and discussed a menu for a birthday dinner planned for March 24, 2024. A party of 13. The Menu was planned and the day arrived. The food was delicious and everything went well, until the bill came and that became a disaster. The arranged price for the menu planned was not honoured and I was charged more than the agreed price. I Spoke with Gerry and he said he would look into it and get back to me. A few days passed and I didn t hear back so I called only to find out that he was out of the country and he would have someone take care of it. Nothing happened so I went to the restaurant and left a message for him to call upon his return. This was followed up with a very unprofessional email from his wife stating that there was a misunderstanding about the price and there would be no refund. However, she did offer a minimal compensation. The bill was $930.10. Compensation offered approximately $60.00. In all fairness, I believe your word is your bond and ethics go a long way in business. This has taught me a great lesson. Make sure you get everything in writing as discussed. I was hoping for a great start to many visits, but in this case they have lost out. No recommendations from me for this restaurant. Parking: Parking available across the street.
Amazing food and service. Definitely recommend
Great food , excellent service . Jasmine was great
We had the most l wonderful evening: delicious food and drink and the best service and attention. The patio is lovely and would highly recommend! Parking: Free parking behind restaurant.
We got the Sunday special which is highly customizable and gave us a variety of Caribbean foods. The Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, and Mac n Cheese Pie are a must try. The red beans were very flavourful. Will be coming back to try the cocktails in the future.
Wonderful place to have some great island food. Great options to choose from. The staff are very pleasant.
We had such a great dinner and experience today at Laz. Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Jasmine was very attentive, friendly and helpful, throughout our visit. All her recommendations were spot on. The picture of sangria was delicious and full of many flavours. We had the oxtail entree and the jerk Alfredo pasta that we shared and still had leftovers to go. The sunshine and patio were the icing on the cake. Highly recommend. Can t wait to come back and of course eat the leftovers tomorrow.
Amazing restaurant! Have been there several times since we first discovered it. Each time we have gone, the service has continued to be great, and the food is consistently delicious. Big ups to Jasmine and the whole team Food
Be careful!!!!! The so called event is such a scam! There s no where mentioned that it was $50 per person on the menu! We thought $50 for the four items shown in the picture. It actually 150$ (tip and taxes were paid extra 50$) so basically we paid three persons price for one person s portion! The worst experience I ever had in my whole life! The were robbed!
beat people/food in markham Vegetarian options: the best Food : 5/5 |
True vibes as always! You wont regret any food here! Much love to Janae!
This was our first visit to Laz and it won t be our last. The service was more than excellent. Super friendly. I had the Lobster Mac and cheese which was great and a large portion. Thank you Janae!
Vibes were nice!! Janea was great
Great experience dining at Laz! Service was excellent and the staff brought the positive vibes. Janae was lovely and Shania mixes a mean drink. Food was delicious and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Had a really great time here. Food and music is fantastic, and our server (whose name I didn t catch, but she had adorable dimples!) was lovely.
Highly recommended. Great food. Great vibe.
Laz was recommended by friends as I had out of town guests. Laz is located in a beautiful building which was impressive as you approached. The dining rooms are tastefully decorated and the wall art is wonderful. The ambience is great. As we were seated we felt fabulous but that feeling did not last. We watched 25 mins later as the table of two who just arrived were handed menus and we still had not received menus so we asked for menus. We then had to ask for our order to be taken. An hour later we had not received our drinks nor appetizers. Service was just terrible. The wine and glasses finally appeared but then we had to ask for the wine to be opened as it needed a corkscrew. There seemed to be one server handling the upper floor and she looked new and inexperienced. We understand that emergencies and staffing issues come up. If the owner had come over and alerted us to the issues they were experiencing that night and kept checking in the experience would have been more palatable. My guests were totally turned off and I was embarrassed. By the time our dinners arrived we were tired and not hungry anymore and a couple of us just asked for takeout containers. It should be noted that the food was good. Such a shame that with so much going for Laz, that they are not dealing with the service issue. We noted another couple left after ordering as they were also not happy with the service. I will try Laz again as it is a beautiful restaurant with a great menu but I do hope they deal with the service issues.
Mothers Day brunch was yummy and awesome staff. My 102 yr old grandmother enjoyed the food. Just like home. :)
Great atmosphere and staff is definitely overworked but friendly. Came for a group event and everything seemed great. Some say the chicken was a bit undercooked/raw inside but dessert was great. Seems like a great space outside to grab drinks after work! Needs like a elevator shaft or something to transport dishes downstairs to the kitchen. Those stairs are a workout
Always a spiced up event when I eat in or take out. Cosy atmosphere, warm and friendly service and always tasty meals. I am having the Cow Heel Soup and my better half, the Fish Broth for dinner at the moment. You got to come visit and Eat Here.
My experience at Laz Authentic Cuisine was amazing! From the ambiance and delicious food up to the impeccable service, I wholeheartedly recommend dining in at Lazs. We tried a few appetizers and mains, but my favourite would be the Coconut BBQ wings, pepper shrimp, and the spinach rice. The cocoa tea with almond milk was a tasty sweet ending!
This was a phenomenal experience and we are looking forward to the next one!! Definitely an event that you need to experience and so much wisdom imparted by Paul Osbourne and his Wife.
This is a great restaurant. I really liked the food and the service. I was there for a special event and they seemed to handle our event and a busy regular dining room quite well. The dish I had was delicious and my wife and son liked theirs too. We would come back again. This was our first time at Laz.
I was referred to Laz by a friend of mine. I decided to try out their meal, and I ordered a take out meal because I was going to work. I was very disappointed, based on what I was told regarding the food. Everyones taste is different, so I will just say I was disappointed. I dont believe in public criticism, so I will not elaborate. Thanks
Great vegan and vegetarian options. Amazing ambiance, beautiful building and nice people ! Highly recommend.
Portions were little. Food decent. Service not good. It could definitely improve. The chef was a hard working woman though! Highly recommend not to have a large party here. A cute couples date is recommended instead of a big party one love!
Jazz was playing in the background and it was lovely! The food was so filling and tasty! We will definitely be back
Rasta pasta was BOMB!
Great spot to hang out
The Lime Platter was A LOT of good and everything was really food. The pork stew on the lunch special was the perfect balance of spice and sweet for someone that can t take a lot of heat. Highly recommend this spot if you re looking for upscale Caribbean food.
Great quality
Janae was amazing!! Friendly and attentive!! Parking: Have to find parking but it s not difficult Food : 5/5 |
Great atmosphere with delicious food! Our server Janae was amazing!
Janae provided excellent service.
Great dining experience , Janae was amazing super friendly. Will definitely be back. Enjoyed having a shark n bake outside of the caribbean. LOVE the original art on the wall, will return for that too.
The food is fantastic and the favours are excellent and the service and atmosphere is very nice! Definitely will come back!!
Vegetarian options: Enough options Parking: Parked on street for free Food : 5/5 |
FC Markham has adopted LAZ Cuisine as our Chill Spot After our games on Friday nights, The Ladies are ALWAYS willing to accommodate whatever our tummies desire....THEY make coming there extremely Fulljoyable and FC Markham are grateful for their attentuvemess when were present. Just a massive massive shout to The Owner and her Fantabulous staff..... Such a fun place to get great food. Luv it, spreading the news bout LAZ !!!!!!!!? See you soon Ladies
I loved the food, the company, the staff, and the entertainment. Wonderful evening! Parking: Very close
We very much enjoyed our dinner and an amazing performance by Barbra Lica and her wonderful band of musicians!
I visited Lazs back in January with a group of friends for a sit down dinner and it was truly a great experience. The food was hot, tasty and so flavorful. *Chefs kiss*. Everyone ordered something different off the menu, and it was all good... no crumbs were left behind lol. The portions were big and the price is fair for what youre getting - a fine dining experience with authentic trini cuisine. The service was great! We were greeted warmly and the staff took care of us and made great food and drink recommendations. The atmosphere was sofisticated, warm and welcoming. The fireplace is an excellent touch . Its small and cozy... definitely a nice place for an intimate date night. 10/10 I recommend this place, and Ill definitely be back!
Was here as part of the Markham Jazz Festival. Food, service and artist was on point! I truly enjoyed this visit.
Food was excellent.
Amazing food and excellent customer service. I would definitely be back
Vegan pasta was excellent!!!!
Very cool Caribbean vibes. I definitely recommend LAZ as a go-to spot for anyone in or visiting the Markham Village area.
It s refreshing to have another delicious restaurant on Main Street Markham, especially something completely different. The restaurant is extremely clean, the owners are very friendly and hospitable, the food was phenomenal, great presentation, great taste and flavour. I had the jerk chicken burger - which is made in house fresh, the burger was full of flavour, I would highly recommend it. The jerk Rasta pasta is also a delicious Choice. The food isn t too spicy, so don t be worried if you aren t a spice fan.
Perfect place for family or date night
Great ambiance with phenomal food and service! This is my new go to restaurant so much good food.
Fantastic location, excellent food made fresh, excellent atmosphere feels like home, excellent service everyone was so friendly and they played 2024 Soca. We had the privilege of meeting the owner and chef extraordinaire Laz she is wonderful and is so passionate about the food she serves at the restaurant. She cooks with love. Which we all had the pleasure of experiencing in the meals she prepared for us. Laz if you need taste testers the Diner s Club is available. Thanks for an amazing experience we will be back.
We had a great time, the food and service was amazing! The environment comfortable and elegant. Big up to Mya who took the time to get to know us better. We had stewed oxtail, sorrel salmon with mac pie and curried pineapple. We will be back! Vegetarian options: There are lot of vegetarian and vegan options and the kitchen is agreeable to substitutes
The food and drinks were delicious! I had the Rasta Pasta with jerk chicken. It as delicious with the right amount of heat. Would definitely come back again. Lax is a lovely woman.
Wonderful experience!!
Nice comfort food with an elevated twist. Never disappoints! We had the jerk chicken burger and Cajun honey salmon. We also opted for dessert and enjoyed a slice of cheesecake and bread pudding. The chicken burger was probably the BEST chicken burger Ive ever had! Perfectly seasoned, flavourful, and didnt even need to add any ketchup as it was perfectly moist. A family member had the weekend brunch plate which they enjoyed, however one suggestion would be to possibly serve bigger bakes/more as they found they ran out of the bakes before the rest of food was done. Otherwise, its a great place to visit! Its a great time to visit in the winter and enjoy a meal by the fireplace. Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian and vegan options in the dinner/lunch menu. Would like to see more vegetarian options in the weekend breakfast/brunch menu if possible.
Great food, experience and service!
Went here for bunch for the first time and had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Great friendly atmosphere with soft music in the background. It is hard to get good west indian food in Markham so I appreciate this establishment.
I got taken off guard at how high end it was, didnt realize it would be expensive but the food was amazing. Worth going to
I had a great experience! Will be back again and again Shoutout to the server Janae she was very helpful, as I was indecisive on what to have, and she came thru with a solid recommendation.

Laz is a fine dining Caribbean restaurant. The vibe is relaxing, warm, friendly, classy. The food is delicious. Service is excellent. Servers were friendly and served everything with a smile. This is a black owned restaurant. Owner Diahka is a chef and has excellent customer service skills. She is such a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for making the retirement dinner for our members a great experience. Everyone stated they will be back and will be spreading the good news about this wonderful restsurant. Chef Shania was great and so funny as she shared the specials of the day. I highly recommend this restaurant. We were in the private room on the upper level. Parking: A large Parking lot is located across the street.

Best place in the world !!!!!
The best place in the GTA
Wonderful service and overall amazing food! would recommend the maple jerk wings.
Vegetarian options: Great food Food
Wonderful service! Will return
Waited 2 hours for food with subpar service, even our drinks took 50 minutes to get to us. Barely an apology from management. I would avoid don t seem equipped to serve any type of rush much less a table of 4.
Visited for lunch as was considering using the venue to host a dinner. Food was good, tasty but somewhat overpriced for quantity. Caribbean rum cake has lots of rum I was pleasantly surprised. Drinks were typical. Staff was friendly. Would dine again as a treat or elevated date due to cost especially if including appetizers or dessert. Parking: No parking at restaurant but street parking nearby Wheelchair accessibility: Patio is accessible, indoor is not, need to climb stairs for restroom.
Amazing authentic Caribbean food that made me feel at home.
Amazing food and great atmosphere! Mango salad, and fried cauliflower...the best Ive ever had!
We had a great meal at Laz, good food and good service! The space has been renovated beautifully as well, with a nice party room upstairs that would be perfect for a private function.
Do not waste your time, this place has the worst customer service and over priced bland food ..we waited for over an hour and the manager didn t even have the courtesy to speak with us or offer to comp us.
Terrible service - terrible food - way over priced - management is a joke. Youre better off eating at McDonalds
I had an incredible experience at Laz! Vegan/Vegetarian Food: The curry pineapple paneer was full of flavour and the rice was a perfect side. They had multiple Vegan/Vegetarian options, and even offered for me to order off of the brunch menu for more options (I was there past 6pm). Wish they had a vegan dessert - but that didn t take away from how great the food/experience was. Service: The server and management were so friendly. Firstly, they helped me find parking. Secondly, they allowed my dog on the patio and complimented her. Third, everyone was smiley and friendly! Dog-Friendly Atmosphere: Although not officially dog-friendly through Markham Dog Alliance they did allow my dog on the patio. The music from the DJ was great, the patio is facing the picturesque Markham Main Street, and the historic building it s operating from is so well cared for! Loved the experience here and would definitely come back! Vegetarian options: 3 Vegetarian/Vegan Options available and more on the brunch menu!
Perfect portions. Delicious food. Great music.
Awesome, Phenomenal, Classy, Warm, a home away from home...........Very proud of this masteress of a chef whos hands have been a blessing from day one with preparing the best of Trini food and other unique delicious cuisines. This is one place in the GTA not to be missed ever for the owner, staff, ambiance and best of the food is an experience in itself.......still licking my fingers from my recent visit
Amazing service - Mia our server was friendly n attentive - food was good and atmosphere was relaxed but professional. Will go back
Great food, drinks and table service!
I found out about Laz recently since I never knew there was a Caribbean restaurant close by in the East Markham area. I ordered an overpriced 1/4 jerk chicken with rice and peas for $29 that came with a little mango salad. Also, I ordered the jerk chicken alfredo for $20. The 1/4 jerk chicken was not worth the price and I didn t really taste much jerk seasoning on it. The pasta was ok at best and nothing to write home about. I want to give this place one more chance and hope to dine in there sometime soon on a weekend, but for now I will not be ordering takeout from there again.
Would never go there again. To begin with a lot of side dishes were not available. Spanish rice, rice with peas. The only rice available was coconut rice,, which hardly tasted of coconut. The jerk chicken had really no flavor. It is one of my favorite dishes and this was tasteless. The lobstrr curry was so so so salty ... couldnt even eat. Mind you everything was immensly salty. Red wine, not available since the few were corked, so couldnt be served in glasses portions. Ordered Rose, and literally it was a sparkling wine. It was a very special day for me and my nephew. The waitress asked how did we like, and I told her my view. The young waitress had no idea on lots of questions. But she was young and seemed new. I would never recommend this place.
My husband and I came for our upcoming anniversary . Hubby knows I love jazz and thought we should give this place a try. Restaurant was beautifully decorated and staff was very friendly. We came for the Jazz night on Thursday. It was nice to sit and have drinks while listening to live jazz. Im not too sure who the two gentlemen were but they played so well. You can tell they were just vibing off of eachother. The food took some time but the music and drinks kept us occupied. The ginger shandy and sorrel shandy was good. I just wish they brought out the wine menu along with the drinks menu. I saw a house wine I would have loved to try but I already ordered the shandy . Hubby had the honey ginger salmon and I had the lobster mac and cheese . The food was flavorful and delicious. Although the food took long, overall it is a lovely experience . I think other reviews about this restaurant are a bit too harsh. This is a fairly new restaurant that deserves a chance . I will be definitely visiting again. Thank you for a lovely evening !!!!
Excellent dinner. Thanks Laz, for and excellent evening .
Wanted to try the brunch items as these looked interesting and different from the usual affairs available at Caribbean restaurants. The food was ok the salt fish and smoked herring was quite salty and the other items didn t really mesh well. I love salt fish and ackee so it s not that the saltiness was the detractor, but rather there was a lack of synergy between each food item. Maybe this is how Caribbean breakfast/brunch taste like but it certainly wasn t quite my cup of tea.
This place is quaint and the food was delectable. Definitely would come back
