I will start my review off by from this experience I have surmised that "Lazeez" is just a fancy way for saying LAZY.
My partner and I were in the mood for some casual Indian. Some naan, some nice curry, some good rice, etc. After stopping into various businesses in the plaza, we finally gave it a go. Reviews looked decent so in we went.
When I say this is hands down the WORST SERVICE I've had in years, I'm not kidding.
We arrived and stood awkwardly in the doorway waiting for someone seated us. A young man called out to us "Hey, sit anywhere!" So down we sat.
Keep in mind this place is dead silent and there is no music. It's odd - there's a lot of the restaurant that's not used and it's sitting there with boxes and chairs and it's really just unpolished and not very organized. But maybe the food and service was decent?
Well, considering I didn't see a single Indian person there, rather a lot of Spanish being thrown around, the food was impressive. The Naan was good and the Samosas we received were very good! The lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka masala however were off - the spices weren't right and it didn't have that decadent rich flavour.
But the SERVER. Holy hell, the server was right out of a comedy sketch.
He comes by and takes our order and then goes into this area that's not being used by the restaurant - boxes and a register sitting there with the lights off - and starts talking to his coworker in Spanish about some pretty crude and vulgar sexual jokes. My partner asks him in Spanish for some waters (since we weren't offered any), as a polite way to ask but also to let him know that we understand what he's saying. He then asks in English, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
He tried acting like he didn't know Spanish after we overheard a full conversation in Spanish. Are you kidding?
He then goes further away and as he's preparing to mop the floor, loudly comments in Spanish to himself how annoying it is to have customers AN HOUR AND FROM CLOSING COME IN. Are you kidding???
Then proceeds to whistle loudly while mopping.
We finish eating, we have to flag him down to get his attention as he never checks up on us, not even once. We ask him for the check and the to-go containers. He literally TOSSES them onto the table as he "sashays" away from us, waving his arms in turn with his body. Is this someone's family member who works here? This guy does not care at ALL about customer service or the fact we were there. It was jaw-dropping.
His co-worker finally caught my expression and took over at this point. He takes care of the check and thanks us for coming in.
We left in absolute shock of the farce of an experience we had. Indian Restaurants are known for having a high level of service and respect. This was the complete opposite and *IF* you must come here, take your so-so Indian food to go and avoid the downright non-existent service. Please, young man - for the sake of the restaurant - sashay away to another job.
