"This restaurant in West Kendall is the only Pakistani restaurant we've found in Miami so far (there are more in Broward). They make excellent meat-heavy dishes of Mughal descent, like nihari, which consists of beef shanks cooked overnight in a velvety gravy. They also make amazing kebabs with nuanced combinations of spices, like the seekh kebab and croqueta-like shami kebab. We highly recommend ordering the chicken haleem here. It’s a traditional breakfast dish made with cracked wheat and a variety of lentils along with shredded chicken that all just melt into each other. Make sure to finish with a bowl of rich, and not-too-sweet kheer." - Carlos C Olaechea

Food here is for takeoff out only. But we requested and were able to eat there. It took 30 minutes for food to arrive. They have no waiter service. Kabobs were very light on spice. The taste was fine, but it needed more seasoning and spice. Kabobs were soft and alright. Chicken Biryani was okay and light on spice. Mix platter kabobs were just about okay. Again, they were very light on spice.

The food was excellent..: loved their bun kababs the most. We also tried nihaari and Buryani and they were very good too. The most amazing thing was hospitality of the host. Although they were only open for take out, after realizing we had been traveling he served the food then and there to ensure we didn’t have to leave hungry. It’s a nice little place if you are looking for authentic Pakistani food

Super Excellence Food, the boss is the chief, first time come here, when I arrived here, I saw no people in the restaurant ( I come at 19:30), I am a little bit scary, but I try, because I read the other people comment, when I ate my food in there, I saw a lot of people to order take away, Until I finished my food, I tell you I am highly recommend this restaurant. ( You can see the photo.)

This is the only pakistani cuisine I found in Miami far away south west of downtown. But it was worth it to drive all the way to here. Food is Amazing and prices are very reasonable.

Amazing Pakistanian food, with great prices and selections of entrées. The biryani, samosa and butter chicken is absolutely amazing! The Kheer is super delicious and a definite dessert option. Chicken kurma is a must!! Fresh food and great staff. Hands down, worth the drive for me to always expect great food. They cater events for over 250 guests as well!!

Very unassuming place. Gentleman that attended me was kind. I ordered takeout on their website. Food was phenomenal. Got the vegetarian combo and it came with so much food. The biryani was delicious. Shani paneer was out of this world. Naan was tasty. Easily feed two or one with a full meal as leftovers. Would recommend .

Spent $30 on chicken tikka masala, samosa, and garlic nan. By the time we got home and looked in the bag, we realized we didn't receive rice. We paid $15 for just the chicken tikka for them to not include rice? Also, idk what it was but it definitely didn't taste like chicken tikka masala.. it was more of an Italian dish than anything. Very disappointing.. very much of a tomato taster with lack of seasoning. The beef samosa was good.. that was the only thing I was okay with. Other than that? Garbage.

This is a very honest review as I am not related to the owners, in any way, but am only a very grateful, thankful customer. Have had many such dishes from many different places but Lazeez Miami is head and shoulders above all of them! Food was outstandingly delicious each and every time I bought from them! The chefs at Lazeez who cook the mutton biryani and kheer, raita and other such dishes are among the world's very best, I believe. Never tasted a more flavorful and more admirable mutton biryani, raita or kheer anywhere! The owner has been consistently very gracious, kindly and has taken trouble and great care over our orders even when they were very, very busy. The family and staff have been gracious and wonderful too. I wish the owner and family and staff very good wishes for all-round perfect health and happiness.

I've been coming here since 2006 and really enjoy the authentic home-made flavor and the variety as well as the kindness of the owner, who goes above and beyond. I like best the karahi plates and the biriyani, and the kheer never fails. Ultimately, I am impressed with the efficiency in all forms whether dine-in, carry-out, or delivery.

This place is very small so take out is really best. Order ahead and pick up at the said time. The owners take care of each order and they carefully package it and greet each customer in person. I have being going for years and they are very punctual. The owners carefully review that what you order is complete and nothing is missing. The place is not a typical American or Hispanic place so do not expect it to be one. I read a reviewer who mentioned the place is dirty and that not the case. Sometimes, lack of culture and understanding from other places prompts ignorant people to give bad reviews. If you want to try amazing, Pakistani food this is the place. The somosas are out of this world, I personally love to order butter chicken with the platter side and dip the naan in the sauce, it melts in your mouth. If you want healthy, go to a Jamba juice and pretend to enjoy it, but if you're a real foody with a taste for amazing food go to Lazees. I also recommend the bbq sampler, it comes with several types of amazing meat. Just a bit of a warning, if you have never eaten spicy or you are in fact a Karen, don't ruin this Indian food sanctuary for those of us that can appreciate a well cooked good meal.

Many authentic spices missing from food. The biryani did not have any caramelized onion or flavor,'and same with the other foods ordered. We were advised that some foods ordered were prepared with spices, and the level of spiciness could not be altered. However, that wasn't the case, there weren't any spice. I've eaten in many Indian/Pakistani restaurants where the food is very flavorful, even when requesting medium or mild, the main spices are never lost. So in essence, will not be visiting that restaurant again.

My husband and I love Indian food. And we had been looking for one close to home. We were excited to try this restaurant that we didn't even know was in Kendall. It really is a hole in the wall. Our experience wasn't very good. The staff if friendly but the food wasn't. We ordered appetizer and an entree. We could hear the appetizer being microwaved before it was served. And when our entree, which was chicken rolls masala, arrived it tasted like pure canned tomatoes. It tasted like pure tomato soup without any other flavor to be found.

Jeanette R.

Found this place on Yelp in search of Indian cuisine. It's a little hole in the wall, but their food is authentic and homemade. The basmati rice and naan bread are both simple, but must-have, staple items to accompany any meal, so be sure to add them on. The prices are fairly inexpensive and the portions are generous. Service is also on point being both friendly and prompt. I would surely come back here if I was in the area and give various dishes a try. *DESSERT IS FREE FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT, TOO

Update: takeout order 8/19 I went against my better instincts to give you a second try Lazeez, because some of your reviews are pretty stellar. I should have just stayed home. I ordered via Yelp24 and to my surprise it was actually ready when I arrived. I played it safe and ordered chicken tikka masala - it's a good litmus test to tell me whether this place is legit or not. I wish I could give it negative stars: For $15 you get a decent portion of what some might call chicken tikka masala, saffron rice, naan, and cucumber salad. 1. Chicken tikka masala: chicken was DRY as if it had been over-stewed in its sauce. This is ironic when you consider that the sauce (which lacked that signature garam masala flavor and a distinct creaminess) actually tasted like it came straight out of a can and wasn't cooked at all. Like when you use canned tomatoes and haven't cooked them yet - that taste. How does chicken become overcooked in a sauce that is clearly underdone? Still trying to work that culinary mystery out. Also, NOT spicy despite my preference for it stated in the ordering process. 2. Naan. Rubbery, burnt, oddly soggy. I'm upset and bewildered. How are you soggy, naan? 3. Apparently the platter comes with cucumber salad. Would have been nice to know that when I placed the order. It just said "make it a platter?" I clicked ok assuming the best. What I got was the worst. I hate cucumbers and could have avoided this sad attempt at salad. (See photo) 4. Rice. Well, what can I say really about rice? They didn't manage to screw it up. Let's give them a round of applause for that one. I feel bad giving such a negative review - they're the only real Indian place (or are you even Indian, bro?!) in Kendall and I SO wanted it to be my go-to takeout place. I am so disappointed and I hope they turn it around because they are on the struggle bus in there. You can tell there's no clear structure too (my previous review provides a pretty glaring example) - walked in tonight, wasn't greeted; someone who was clearly a cook came out; saw me; I told him I was there for pickup (bc he didn't actually say anything to me); then someone else came out with it a few minutes later. It was just a weird experience. Bad, bad, bad. Try Saffron on US1 and you'll forget all about this nightmare, I SWEAR. (See my gloating review for Saffron!)

Absolutely some of the best Indian food we have found in Miami. We are Indian food fans and have made our rounds through several of the local restaurants. We stumbled upon Lazeez almost by accident. We were at Bball close by and a search of nearby restaurants yielded Lazeez. The mall it's in is a little sketchy, with several vacant shops. The restaurant itself though, located in the inner corner, is clean, well organized and well lit. The owner, Shaquille is one of the nicest restauranteurs we've met. He always greets us and remembers our favorites. He really adds to the experience here. All of the servers are quiet and kind. Definitely great family environment and service. The food itself is out of this world. Made to order and always seasoned just right. We usually start of with samosas and sometimes the mini egg rolls. We follow that up with a mix of chicken tikka botti (tandoori), butter chicken, some kebabs, paratha, an amazing bread made of several layers (think tortilla and phyllo dough) and garlic naan. We end the meal with the rice pudding, which on its own is enough to keep us coming back. Absolutely a must try if you like Indian/Pakistani food. Tell Shaquille that Armando sent you :)

This is my 1st try here. I ordered Paya, seekh kaibab, tandoori chicken, chicken makhani and some naan ( take out) The paya and seekh kabab were very good. So was the tandoori chicken but I was craving a little more spice. The makhani was not up to the mark . NAAN was good too. Over all a good experience . I might come and try a few more stuff. Hospitality was very good.

I've been coming to this restaurant for probably 2 years. Although it is in a decent looking shopping center, this restaurant really takes pride in their cooking. I'm a vegetarian and they have like a good 6-7 options just for us...not something you can really find here in Kendall. So far, everything that I've tried has been amazing. The naan....I mean, I'm addicted. My favorite is the Cumin Seed naan. It's just, incredible. I eat it by itself and honestly, I have to control my self when eating it (it's really tasty). The owner is extremely sweet. He comes up to you and asks you about your day, he remembers your face, overall a great guy. I think this is more like a take out restaurant. You don't see as many people in the dining area because I believe 80% of the weekday clientele is take out. The door doesn't stop revolving at this place. If you're really considering economic Indian food with a sweet owner, come here.

My son and I love this place. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I highly recommend the goat korma, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and samosas. You can taste the homemade flavor. We always order everything with a medium spice level and it has been up to par with our very seasoned palates, as we regularly eat spicy food. It's a small mom and pop so it's more suitable for take out than dine in. A hidden gem for West Kendall locals. There was only one time I ordered with friends that they forgot to make the food spicy and we didn't know until we were home and by that time they were closed. Other than that single incident we've never been disappointed.

The only negative about this place is how far it is from my house :( Run by an old couple from the subcontinent, it's the most authentic flavors I've had. The vegetarian fare is average, but they simply excel in flavors and spice of items such as kadhai gosht (lamb), butter naan, saffron rice, and biryani. Would love to come back again soon. Portions aren't huge, reasonably priced, and well maintained premises. Service was quick and efficient.

Low to average taste experience! Proprietor is friendly but not well-versed in food service. There was one customer waiting on his to-go order and I was the lone diner. Took over 30 minutes to get my food and unfortunately it did not arrive very hot; instead mildly warm, which was disappointing. Nihari had many small pieces of fat floating all over and meat chunks were darker than normal (see photo), chicken boti was luke warm as was the naan, cucumbers and onions were dried out as if they had been cut and stored all day. Overall very slow service, poor food quality, prep and taste. Either people in Miami don't know good desi taste or I hold these establishments to a higher standard. There are not many other options around for this cuisine, still I won't be visiting again.

A friend mentioned this place to me and as I'm wanting my Indian food fix figured I give it a try. Would of never found it in my own as it's located in a "whole in the wall". A quiet place, casual with excellent service and the food is excellent, couldn't have enough of the garlic nann all fresh. You must stop by and try this place out.

Best Pakistanian food in town. The service was excellent and the food blew me away with taste and texture. The owner made us feel at home. Definitely will be coming back with friends to share this gem of a place. Thank you for such an amazing dinner experience!!

I think this is the first time I've had my food served in disposable plates when I'm dining in. Plus one of the paper plates was dirty. I ordered a platter from the vegetarian section, but I dont remember the names. They definitely took too long for just 5 customers dining in. I heard the waitress say it takes about 30 min. I've dined in at a Indian restaurant before and they don't take too long. BUT the food was delicious. I will definitely order again, but take out.

From the outside it looks like a little hole in the wall Indo/Pakistani restaurant. We came into town at 8:45 pm and my husband was craving Indian food. We found this place in a strip mall after looking through yelp. The lady was nice enough to take our to go order right before closing. We ordered Karachi chicken and chicken boti with plain naan. The food was great. The chicken pieces tasted homemade and delicious. The naan was what I would expect naan to taste like. I really have no complaints. Portion size was decent. I did think the chicken was a little too oily but other than that it was good.

If you like Pakistani food and don't care about the atmosphere this is the hole in the wall you definitely want to be at! We drove 130 miles round trip and were not disappointed. The service was very good and our server was very attentive. The taste of the food was authentic home cooked Paki food. Our gang of 7 (all Paki foodies) had a feast and ordered Brain Massala, Nihari, Haleem, Chapli Kebab, Sikh Kebab, and dessert was the Shahi Tukras all of which were deelish. We will be back the next time we are in the area!

For the price, this has got to be one of the best deals to be had for Indian/Pakistani cuisine in Miami. It has a loyal following among the Indian/Pakistani community simply because the food here is rich for such a low price - imagine paying half the price you would at Imlee's! And yes, maybe it's hard to compare especially since this restaurant is much akin to be Pinecrest's Imlee's naked and poorer cousin born in a neighboring country located in the far suburban West Kendall. The cuisine is not exactly Indian - there's some differences that show since the owners are Pakistanis. But those differences are subtle that my appetite for delicious Indian food was more than satisfied. The ambiance of this place is truly a hole-in-the-wall. It is very stark - white walls with few articles decorating its ambiance, a big picture of a mosque, and few else. There are plenty of tables and chairs, but they too are not well adorned. The laminated one-page menu does not seem to be much, but they offer samosas, lassi, naan, roti, chicken curry, shish ka bob, and even a vegetarian plate among its numerous items. And for my delicious two samosas (beef and vegetarian) and roti, I had them bring out also the green sauce (sorry, the name escapes me at the moment) to complement the yogurt sauce (again, sorry), that was set. The combination of them both proved to be power-packing spicy-delicious that was sweet, spicy and not too overbearing! Probably my meal came up to be around $8 in total. The priciest item in the menu was around $12, and most items were under $10. The only negative is that they're not normally open before 3 pm. Check the hours they're open before you go! I'll definitely return!

Wow, what an awesome experience! A bit off the beaten path, you may find this place a bit difficult to get to, as it is tucked in a residential area full of apartments, in a small shopping plaza. My friend and I thought we were lost, as all we saw were apartments and thought there was no way there could be a restaurant among the rows of apartment buildings. We called and finally realized we hadn't gone far enough. The place was tucked between other establishments in a small shopping plaza on the right, a bit of a hole in the wall. Inside, the place is very small and simple, more like a family cafeteria than a cold, highly impersonal, large restaurant. A young man was in there browsing the internet and then watching movies. I had never had Pakistani food, so I was excited. I don't know why there aren't more Pakistani joints, I bet they'd achieve the popularity of Tap Tap if they opened at the beach! Apparently, after reading over the menu, a lot of it is similar to Indian, with some added items that I had never seen before. Choices were tough, everything sounded so, so good. Prices seemed very reasonable, and they had combos which gave you a bit of everything and at a great price. The mango lassi we ordered was made from scratch. We heard the blender and cutting sounds from the kitchen, probably the cutting of the mangoes. My friend ordered chicken haleem and I got a number 7 combo. As we waited, we got a salad with delicious cucumber yogurt dressing, and some papadums. We liked it and the owner laughed about how we thought it was great, saying "that's just the beginning". It seemed he was very confident about his food, but would it measure up to the hype? The chicken haleem was a lentil stew with ground chicken. We were brought white basmati rice as well. My friend liked his dish and found it filling. My combo was also delicious. Although there was tandoori chicken in there, it tasted different than the tandoori chicken I am used to having in Indian restaurants, so, although their dishes may be very similar to those in an Indian restaurant, the spices are slightly different. The food was very flavorful, aromatic, and filling, including the delicious patties. The owner, Shakeel, kept telling me "you're not finished", so I was expected to eat it all although I was starting to feel full. I felt like I was at my mom's suddenly! I slowly ate it all, including the tender naan. He was happy to see that and offered us dessert. Based off of Yelpers' recommendations, we ordered the Kheer, and it was delicious. My friend's usually not impressed with rice pudding but this one was great, and very sweet, but not overpowering to the point you needed to gulp down water. It was very smooth and thick, it didn't have the lumpy texture of a usual rice pudding. I cannot recommend this place enough, the food is out of this world, the service is very friendly and personable, and the prices are great. I can't wait to go back and I am extremely grateful for my Yelp app, which told me about this amazing restaurant in the first place and yes, I am jealous of the locals who can walk here or order from here every day. I know I would if I lived in that area!

Great, authentic and flavorful food. No frills, just good food that warms the soul. You feel like you're at your grandmother's where the only thing flowing from the kitchen is authentic goodness made with heart and soul. Food never disappoints here.

Jeannette T.

My husband and I were looking for good Indian food and decided on this place because of the great reviews. I'm glad we did. The food was really tasty and authentic. We had several things as we wanted to sample the menu. Our favorites were the samosas, the garlic butter naan, and the butter chicken. Service was great and first timers get a free rice pudding dessert free. I loved the rice pudding but my husband didn't. Overall a good place to eat-not the best I've ever had, but worth a visit. The place is definitely a hole in the wall. This is not a luxurious or fine dining kind of restaurant. It is good food with no/low frills. The restaurant is hard to find. It's tucked in a corner of a strip mall with no sign. We almost drove away thinking it had closed down. Look out for an Indian grocery store and you'll find the restaurant two doors down and well hidden.

I rarely rate restaurants one star, but I have to for this restaurant. My friend and I were in Miami, and I was craving some Chapli kebab with naan. We found this restaurant on Yelp with 5 star reviews highlighted on top. Sad to say, but this time Yelp really failed us (make sure you read the 20 nonrecommended reviews). The only good thing about the restaurant was the friendly Latina waitress with glasses. When you come inside, it looks like dar ul uloom instead of restaurant (all the walls have pics of masjid, Quran verses, etc). It is dead silent, no music or anyone at the register. We ordered naan, chapli kebab, and chicken tikka masala. We asked the uncle what the difference between the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken was, and he said that the masala one has more spice. When we got the chicken, it was sooo soo bland it tasted like someone put tomato sauce on it. Then I thought perhaps I got the butter chicken, but it didn't even have butter. On top of that, the Naan was horrible it tasted like something made from pizza dough and it was microwaved. Also, for the chapli kebab, I told my friend that please can you go to the kitchen and ask for one chicken chapli as well. My friend went to the kitchen and the uncle was opening the microwave and acted very startled like he was doing something wrong. Idk my friend did not like the food at all either but we were so hungry that we ate our kebabs (chicken we couldn't eat at all). I think the uncle heard me complaining about how bad it was because he came by to ask my friend how the spice level is right after I said it was so bland. He just said it was all good but I stayed silent because I didn't want to lie. Right now we are driving back from Miami. My friend said not to write anything about the restaurant because he feels sympathetic to the aunty and uncle who are working so hard to make their livelihood. However I am not writing this review out of any malice. We also paid $30 and it was horrible food. I am just writing because giving 5 stars out of sympathy (or maybe payment) is really wrong because people spend their time, money, and gas to go so far to only be disappointed. As a Pakistani, I really want to write the praises of my countrymen but this time, I really must advise that the best course of action is to absolutely AVOID this restaurant.

I wanted to try a different restaurant (Indian-ish). I ordered and paid online. Place is in small plaza in a neighborhood. Walked in, not much atmosphere and wasn't that nice looking. I could see a peek into the kitchen and it didn't look clean so I was nervous. Owner was very nice and polite. I wanted a few minutes as a few other customers were waiting for their take out (take out only due to pandemic). Owner went to ring me out but I reminded him that I already paid online. He apologized; I said no worries. He walked me out and even opened the door for me. I wish I would have looked in the bag before I left though. I was a little disappointed with the chicken quorma ("korma") when I opened it when I got home. It is not like an Indian korma, which is more white creamy with cashews. This was more tomato based (like Marsala) and the chicken had bones in it. The chicken (probably thighs) came right off the bone which showed good slow cooking, but I had to be careful eating because some of the bones were tiny and I almost ate them. The sauce was ok, but not what I was expecting. The highlights were the garlic naan and mango lassi were amazing! The basmati rice was also really good and there was a pleasant surprise of a little cucumber sauce (raiti?) on the side. I was just very disappointed with the chicken entree. I'm not sure I would go there again, but you could try it if you're willing to give it a try. I prefer Urban Rasoi on Kendall Drive (88th Street) nearby even if it's a little more expensive.

Visiting from California, we were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant hidden in the corner on our way to Miami. The homey set-up and traditional-style ambience will make any Pakistani feel nostalgic. Service was very friendly. Food was great and portions were just right (thanks to advice from staff). Will definitely come back during our next visit.

Wanted to try something new with my husband, this restaurant is two blocks away from our house and well we know the shopping center where it's at , and I t's not the nicest, but we went with a open minds and just tried it. When we walked in, it was spotless clean we were immediately greeted by a young and very pleasant waiter, he knew we were there for the first time and explained the whole menu to us. At that point more and more people started to arrive, we ordered one of their combos to be able to try different things. The food did take a little bit of time to come out but it was well worth it, everything we tried was so good, and the portion of the combos could easily feed three hungry adults. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because once it started getting full it took a long time to get the check. Oh by the way first timers get a free dessert :)

I am a visitor here in the town and Eating here is the worst experience I ever had. The food was terrible and the host didn't respond in a positive way when our group let him know about the food. We left almost everything we ordered. Doesn't deserve a one star rating too.

Haroon M.

Yelp
Located inside a small strip shopping area next to a Desi food shop. Polite and friendly service. Inside of Restaurant used as a work space and office next to dinner tables using plastic cutlery. Authentic Desi taste is lacking as seasoning is very mild. Chapli kabab tasted more like a fried hamburger patty rather than a spicy Peshawari style authentic chapli kabab.

Pilar M.

It disheartens me to say this won't be the place to satisfy the constant need I have for Indian food, I think the place is a bit more on the Paki side, in terms of preparation. It's not bad food, but it's not good enough. The Aloo Samosa, for example, was nice...but just lacking that touch of love. This is the general trend, I suspect, with most of the cuisine here. I had mutter paneer, which had a thick coat of oil sitting on top and rather small chunks of paneer. Having just come from India, I was expecting sumptuous cheese. The flavor wasn't bad though and they do deserve a lot of praise for their naan bread, doused in garlic and butter, it was the best thing by far. It's not the cleanest place. I ordered a tea and a small daddy long legs was coasting around inside the jar of sugar as if it were his personal snowy winter wonderland. All in all, it was not a bad experience. Yet I can't say it beckons any return.

First time I tried Indian food, food is very tasty and flavorful. Fair prices, large servings and quick service. Will be back for more. The karahi chicken is very tasty and the garlic naan is amazing! A must try!

4.5 stars. The food was great! The staff was very friendly and helpful as it was our first time. The daal fry and bhindi was wonderful. However, the tandoori naan was the star. Fresh out the clay oven, hot and delicious! I would give this place 5 stars except for the decor. It could use a touch up and some new ceiling tiles. Overall though, I'd call this a great find. A tiny corner restaurant in an unexpected place. We will be back to try more dishes.

I just came from having dinner here with my boyfriend and we loved it! The place is a hole in the wall seeing as we couldn't find it in the small plaza, but the name is written on the door (it's next to the Asian Spices store). We had wanted to try something new and boy are we glad we did. The portions were generous and I probably could've taken some home if I could've stopped eating it. The (I'm assuming) owner even gave us a complimentary dessert since it was our first visit which was so nice of him! It doesn't hurt that it was sooo delicious. Overall, the service was good and the food was great! We will definitely be making this one of our new food spots.

Friendly, welcoming owners who clearly care about the food they're serving and their patrons. We were greeted by the wife/husband owners shortly after opening at 1PM Sunday, and were promptly brought Menus and water, and a plate of cucumbers and lettuce with yogurt sauce. Our Aloo samosa appetizer was prepared fresh quickly, and served piping hot with yogurt and a nice home-made chutney-like spicy sauce. We were given great advice on what dishes to try, and ended up with Goat Qorma, Chicken Haleem, and the #1 combo (chicken tikka, seikh kabob, shami kabob, Nan), with a plate of Biryani (rice). Everything was perfectly prepared. The spices and flavor of the Pakistani food here is subtle and complex, and the bowl of fresh ground spices that was brought out with our meal added a special touch. We were surprised at the end as a serving of Rasmalai (light fluffy cheese dumplings saturated in sweet milk) for each of us appeared "on the house" for our first-time visit. This was a special meal in an unassuming little "gem", as another reviewer put it. We will definitely be back soon!

I enjoyed the food here. it's located in a small mall that looks run down to me. The service is friendly but very slow. The food portions were above average and I found the food quality to be authentic and above average. I had the mutter paneer. There aren't a lot of indian/Pakistani restaurants in this section of town so this will probably be your only choice. I would recommend that you visit more toward evening as I think getting there at opening like I did may cause delays in getting your order, checkout etc. Prices here were very reasonable compared to other similar restaurants that I have tried.

This is a low-key family owned moderately priced Indian restaurant. The establishment itself is very unassuming. Its in a small strip mall with a difficult to visualize sign. The restaurant has chairs and tables that remind you of a high school cafeteria and there are minimal decorations. It is family owned and the staff are extremely nice and eager to please but definitely overwhelmed when there's more than a couple of groups at the restaurant. The food itself is quite mediocre. The meat quality is poor, the curry flavorless, and the portions small. Though it is not expensive, I do think it's overpriced considering the quality, portion size, and restaurant ambiance/location. I feel bad leaving a poor review because I love that this place is family owned and the family seems so nice and caring. I strongly believe that with better exterior advertisement, nicer decor, and higher quality ingredients, this place could become a gem.

I really wanted to like this place :( This place is a hole in the wall in strip mall, so I was expecting the food to be great with a 4 and half star rating. We had to wait 15 minutes for the waitress to come take our order. Finally she takes our order and we wait and wait, other people walk in order get served and finish eating before we get our food. Finally the food arrives an hour after we place our order and it's completely bland and tasteless. Then it took them 15 minutes to get the bill. I don't understand how this place got these reviews, I would definitely recommend to stay away.

This place is about as authentic as it gets for India/Pakistani food. It's a hole in the wall in a strip mall you'd be sure to miss if you didn't know what you were looking for, but thanks to Yelp I knew exactly where I was going. I love Indian food. It's deliciously rich and homemade flavors make it feel indulgent yet cozy...and this place is the perfect place to find it at amazingly reasonable prices. The service is stellar. You can tell the owners find pride in providing its loyal customers with the best food and the best experience. After our first meal there, they told us we could call 5-10 minutes ahead with our order next time so that it would be fresh and brought to our table immediately when we arrived. Who does this?! So awesome. My top picks are the Butter Chicken, and of course, any flavor Naan- which I could easily overdose on. Love it here!

I am someone addicted to good food, especially Pakistani/Indian. In my 45 years alive, including 20 years in America, I have found some great places with incredible Pakistani/Indian cooking. Lazeez and its literally home-cooked meals are absolutely the best I have had, not just in Miami. The prices are so low that you could not buy the ingredients for that price. The quality is so good, you are guaranteed to over-eat. The people are so nice you'll think you are having dinner at a friend's place. For those who are seeking ambiance, this is not the place. Humble, very simple. Try the usual staples, like samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Karaahi, my favorite Nihari, or any combination you want. You go for good food, you get an incredible experience that will have you going back for more.

Amazing butter chicken and incredible garlic butter naan! Food was delicious, doesn't feel like a restaurant, feels like I was invited to eat at someone's house.
