I have ordered from uber eats i have never seen anyone who is that cheap i had order from uber eats with buy one get one free deal i order plain rice which they gave me wrong one and they charged 1.25 dollars for extra garlic which i cant see even the normal quantity anywhere the rice were stale and you could barely see chicken on rice so it was more likely little rice and with just hot sauce very disappointing my family had slept hungry because of there false promotion

This review is for the girl who worked late shift last night(i forget her name it start from S all i remember she was short in height). It was 7:45pm and she greeted us and brought us food with the same energy as someone who'd do in the morning shift. Customer service like this will always bring you back customers.

Order 2 sharwrma on rocks now through uber eats.....as because it's for buy one get one free , these people are litterly saving money from rice and chicken...it's very evident that the two boxes I received was half filled with less chickn and rice on both plates.......brilliant move from you lazeez employee........but it won't work here

September 1, 2024

Ordered the chicken on the rocks buy one get one from UberEats expecting to have 2 full meals but what I got was 1 full meal only to be divided in half. I’d rather go to Osmow’s next time.

I’ve been eating here often. Food is great but service wise is getting worse. Last time when they served pita, it was right out of the storage in a plastic bag without heating. The employees need training and reshuffling. No wonder customer are getting lesser as I come.

For a while I was very disappointed with this place but I have to admit it has gotten much better lately. Hopefully it keeps going up . I'll check back in a couple months

May 18, 2023

This is probably the most negative review I have ever given to an establishment. I understand small businesses are ran by folks who run their family but this place is just bad!! I’m pretty sure this place buys reviews. My entire experience at this place was horrible. Health department needs do unannounced inspection. The fresh greens were the only food you should eat here. The chicken shawarma spit on the rotisserie looked very questionable. Cooked meat tasted very old. I ordered a beef and chicken shawarma salad bowl. They were very stingy with everything except the sauces. They gave me gyro instead of beef shawarma. They were nice enough to remove. The gyro and beef shawarma. Beef shawarma was very old, dry, and had weird non pleasant taste. My son ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and they also gave him gyro. The wrap was filled with lettuce and not much meat. I felt horrible after eating. The place also didn’t smell nice. I got a stomach ache that night. Never coming back here. This place offers nothing to deserve 3,4, or 5 star. Stay away!

As other reviewers wrote, the portions are big here. I got the 8" chicken shawarma wrap with regular size fries and an order of beef on the sticks. My wife and I had to take a break to finish the meal. The food was definitely tasty and was surprisingly spicy. I will likely downsize the order in the future.

After returning to this establishment after 6-7 months, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the beef shawarma. The taste was far from what you would expect from a proper shawarma, resembling more of a sausage sandwich than the authentic dish. The distinct flavors and textures that define shawarma were completely lacking. As a regular customer, this was a significant letdown, and I hope the restaurant addresses this decline in quality to restore the standards it once had.

October 22, 2024

Just went there to get Two shawarma plate, both of them didnt understand the language, language barrier.

Worst restaurant ever! I was waiting my order getting prepared and I saw that the guy who was preparing my food touched and started talking to his phone with the same gloves he was using for foods! I think they really don t understand what is bacteria and dirt. What if someone gets sick because of their dirty preparing process??? Also I ordered a No Sauce chicken salad and even I asked them more than 3 times not to put sauce on my salad but they finally put. Food wasn t fresh I think the foodstuffs they use are from few days ago. This was my experience from this place.

July 22, 2024

I haven t picked up anything from this place for 2 years at least and . I picked up 2 rice and shawarma last night was around 7 pm Place was not busy The chicken was hard like a little stone and got no taste The rice wasn t good sticky chunks and extremely salty I couldn t eat both plates went to garbage if I wasn t tired I would go back to the store and make them eat it

Today I visited here, but unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences Ive had. The rice was undercooked, and the taste of the meat and chicken was extremely disappointing. The flavors were off, and the quality of the ingredients seemed poor. Overall, I was very dissatisfied with my meal and would not recommend this place for shawarma.

June 22, 2024

I went to Lazeez when it first opened and it was an amazing experience. Staff was super friendly, food was a 11/10, and overall was the best shawarma spot in Newmarket. 3 years later and all that went flying out the door. New staff who are rude and heavily unpleasant to order from. Barely any meat and sauce and when you ask for more they immediately say no unless you throw more money at them (already payed 15+$ for the meal). Its genuinely sad to see how much this place has fallen off. I used to advocate and say Lazeez is better than Osmows but youre honestly better off going to Osmows. They dont grill you for more money when you ask for a little more sauce.

The owner is a very nice and polite guy, however he has a very rude employee called KUNAP who is extremely RUDE and ruins the total experience of the clients. He is careless when the owner is not around (afternoons) and misrepresents the entire team (everyone else is very polite and great with clients). KUNAP must be coached how to treat people with respect or Fired!

Worst shawarma plate that we have tried

Local Guide
February 22, 2024

They used like 90% lettuce and i didnt even want lettuce. I HATE lettuce. But they clearly do it to add substance to the wrap. Not only did they get my order wrong, when I asked for a refund they only refunded me $14 when it clearly states their large chicken shwarma is $16.99 on their website. I also got cheese (extra $1.99) and garlic sauce (another $1.49 or something) which I wasnt refunded. I got ripped off.

I got beef shawarma. The meat was not fresh and was cooked elsewhere. The meat was hard to chew and cold. I asked for hummus in my wrap and the guy said it s extra! Weird! Plus I emphasized I don t like it spicy and man it was super duper hot. It is for sure one of the worst foods you can have in GTA for sure.

The shawarma was filling and had lots of toppings. I love that they add fries to it if you request as well. I heard they stopped offering eggplant as a topping. Having lived in the middle east and eaten this as a shawarma topping, I did it. Bring it back :) The hummus was yummy. Falafels were okay.

Not fresh at all! The chicken in the shawarma tasted stale and the meat in the beef shawarma has barely any meat! Mostly a mixture of other ingredients and the texture was like an old paste with maybe meat leftovers or something. I don t recommend this restaurant. The prices are also high given the poor quality.

Very good shawarma. We had the checked shawarma plate. They give you a good serving along with a separate salad. I find most places pile it all into one container so you only get a few pieces of lettuce with a tomato. These guys hook you up so you have leftovers for tomorrows lunch.

December 22, 2023

I just bought shawarma today, a bit disappointed i did not see them cut the meat from the actual barbecue instead they heated the meat on the hot plate, it doesn t taste like shawarma. I know the taste cause i used to buy shawarma. Sorry but that s the truth. I wasted my money i never eat it.

I usually come here for their chicken souvlaki platter and Lazeez special platter...my goodness its so delicious (i normally get eight lines of hot sauce which makes it taste even better). And portion wise, id say this place beats every shawarma place in town...super generous. The staff are amazing professionals too. The way they talk to you over the phone, greet you in the restaurant and when they actually serve you the meal, these people are amazing.

I ordered beef on the rocks with two sides and they served me Gyros instead of actual beef. This is false advertising The menu is misleading. If beef is on the menu then it should be served with beef and not processed meat/beef. The staff at the front were very friendly and nice. The flavour of their rice was great but to sell Gyros to people and lie its beef that is not right. Ty

Too much hype for this place..was at 1 IN KITCHENER PREVIOUSLY AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! this location doesnt compare! The food here was not as tasty, they give you lots of rice but didnt even give us the lentil option and just piled on regular rice without asking. There was not much schwarma on your platter. The salad was gross as its that shredded bag head lettuce and tastes awful. No dressing on a Greek salad either. The salad toppings were skimpy and the bagged shredded lettuce taste was strong. Disappointing experience.
