Laziz Kitchen Central 9th

Ordered a bunch of things at Laziz. First off, was disappointed to hear it is no longer Lebanese owned, I felt like it lost its authenticity. Lemonade was ok, not too minty and don’t love the orange blossom. Hummus - not authentic Muhammara - not authentic Labor - not authentic They were tasty nonetheless. Kibbeh was super large and delicious, enjoyed it very much. Halloumi was tasty but served room temp, felt like it was reheated. The red paste that came with it was delicious but on its own. The salad was ok with the chicken a bit flavorless, wasn’t authentic at all. Shakshuka had an excellent sauce but I would prefer the egg white to be a bit firmer as it was too gooey for my liking.

Delightful flavours. Labneh was excellent, and the baklava was the flakiest I’ve had in a while. A wonderful selection of drinks too. Highly recommend the homemade lemonade

I took my husband on a date here for Father’s Day and the atmosphere was amazing. Our server was so nice and gave us a complimentary baklava after our meal. The food was so great! Everything was lovely and super filling. Definitely our favorite new restaurant!

You don't need a menu. We just told Hannah to bring us the food that she would order. We had a memorable & unique experience. Food: -Grape leaves -Hummus -Lamb meatballs -Falafel -Lebanese national dish -Lamb burger As a lowly Somm, I can say with confidence that I'm not a beer guy. With that said, all paired well with the Ferda IPA. I chose the Heratige Chard for my spouse.

The service was quick. The food was delicious and I would definitely go back. I really liked the lemonade too. The tables are pretty close to each other and I don't think I would take a large group there.

This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had anywhere. The service was exceptional, the food flavorful and the cozy seating area perfect for a late lunch. The lemonade is a must have and get yourself an order of the za’atar fries with whatever else you order. You will not be disappointed.

Okay, here's the deal. The food here is my absolute favorite. My husband and I don't eat out a ton anymore for various reasons, it's just pretty expensive nowadays, we have young kids, we've been disappointed by many places and felt like it was a waste of our money but NOT HERE. Seriously, I'm obsessed with the food. Every bite makes my mouth go yum, yum, yum. We tried it a couple years ago and I told my husband for our fifth year anniversary I just really wanted to go here. Well, happy to say it was just as amazing as I remembered it. The beet dip is incredible. I loved the muhammara dip and loved the walnuts, it was my first time trying that dip. The carrots, cucumber and lettuce served with the dips were fresh and crisp! My husband got a falafel platter and I got the salmon veggie bowl. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the avocado was green and ripe, the rice perfect, just all so good! The flavors just make my taste buds so happy! Thanks Laziz for making my anniversary great, all I needed was my husband and some amazing food and this fit the bill. We'll be back another time for sure. There isn't a ton of nearby available parking, so we had to park a little ways down and walk, not a big deal. It's also a relatively small location, I feel like they could fit maybe 30 to 40 people here so keep that in mind for busy weekends or nights. They do have a ramp for wheelchairs and bathrooms in the restaurant.

I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere and great food here. I was surprised by how delicious the zaatar fries were, as well as how filling the veggie bowl was. I would definitely recommend- just keep in mind that they use quality ingredients, so you may pay close to $20-$30 per person

Had a really nice meal at Laziz. I would give the food a solid 4 stars but I have to bump up the review to 5 stars for the service. Just super chill, very attentive, very laid back staff. Ordered the following: Samper Dip Plate - Great Presentation Lebanese Platter w/ Lamb Meatballs - Great variety Grape Leaves This was the first time I ever had grape leaves served warm . I have to say I'd prefer grape leaves served cold. I would definitely go back here to try other delicious sounding food on the menu. I will make this a must-stop when visiting SLC in the future.

Low stars for GF, better stars for food quality. The Mediterranean platter is labeled as GF. However when I received the online order, the meal had pita bread on top. I called and the server verified that the pita is NOT GF. She also informed me that the rice base has vermicelli noodles and therefore that part also isn't gluten free. I asked them to update the online menu to be more clear, she said she would pass on the info. Everyone else in the group loved their food! But wanted to give a warning for the GF people out there. P.S. it might matter what platform you use to order - the server mentioned something about that. I don't know what platform was used as someone else in the group did the order. Just be careful!

Okay, everyone needs to come here for a fantastic lunch! I am Lebanese and grew up eating several of the dishes we ordered. They did them justice and then some. The grape leaves, the beet dip, lamb meatballs, lentils and rice were all 10/10. I got the salmon taco, best fish taco I've ever had. I'm going to try and replicate the slaw it was topped with. I was too excited and didn't get any food photos but the place was beautifully decorated with a vibrant wall mural.

Great food and environment. The ingredients were fresh, flavor was balanced and well portioned and presented. There were plenty of vegan and gluten free options and the menu had a lot of variety of exciting dishes. Very attentive service. I would definitely come back!

I am obsessed with their salads, very fresh ingredients and great service. Just as good and take out form.

Laziz is a slam dunk. The space is gorgeous, the staff is attentive, and the food IS worth writing home about. We enjoyed as a family the lamb burger, standard burger, salmon salad, and falafel bowl. I truly could not tell you a single flaw I detected in the food's preparation or presentation. The lamb burger, my particular favorite, was perfectly cooked and filled with flavor, my mouth waters just thinking about it. I rest my case!

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for quick lunch and really enjoyed the space. The food is super good and well priced! We shared a platter and the half zaatar fries, which was served super quick. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for a Mediterranean fix in SLC!

Always good food. The lamb burger had a little bite like a baby lamb on the tongue. And truffle hunter wine reignited that bite with a niceness of spring. Great service of young people made me feel welcome. Ambiance.

Meal arrived hot (delivered) and exactly as pictured on menu. Superb hummus, chicken dish. Maybe on pricier side, but well worth it for freshness and quality

Shushuka is amazing!!! Excellent service. Great music By this Lebanese food is better than mom's cooking!

Laziz has been on our list of places to try for a while and soo glad we finally made it there for dinner. We had a dip sampler with the beet dip, baba ghannouj, and muhammara- all were delicious! We also loved thr potato Kibbeh. I got the roasted veggies bowl with Salmon and my husband had the Shakshuka- also delicious! Also, our server was Aleksi and she was outstanding. She asked if we had ever eaten there before and when we said no, she walked us through the menu - and manged to do it quickly while providing super helpful information and suggestions. Service level 10/10.

Excellent food and great service! Accommodated all my requests. Will definitely come back when I visit SLC next time.

Some of the best I have had in UT. Ever since moving from CA we had been looking for some good Mediterranean and this is the best we have found in the state. The owners are very nice and personable. The location was interesting to get to and at night is really dark but otherwise great place.

Hidden Gem! I have driven past this restaurant countless times not realizing what I was missing out on. We order local kombucha (strawberry basil) so yum & the Muhammara dip, best red pepper hummus I have ever had hands down! Our waitress was kind gave great menu recommendations and gave us space to enjoy our food and conversation! We were in a hurry and were able to dine under 40 mins. Definitely will return!

I loved the food! I just wish it was a little more affordable so I could go more often. It is also fun to order and bring into water witch which is next door. The servers are kind and the restaurant and area are very cute!

Zaatar Roasted Veggie Bowl (carrots, potatoes, brussels sprouts, onion, basmati rice, avocado, tahini drizzle, and lemon) with falafel. It was soooooo good I need to learn how to make these flavors. They charged me for a falafel salad $19.58 by accident

Fantastic service, great ambiance, and delicious food! I ate them too fast so didn't get a photo, but the falafel was the best I've had in a long time! Authentic middle eastern flavors that you don't want to miss out on.

Laziz is a great restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and the interior is beautifully designed. It's the perfect spot for the light dinner full of flavor and variety. You have to try the Laziz Lemonade! It is so refreshing and tastes so good. To share, we got a dip sampler plate with hummus, and beet dip. It came with pita and fresh vegetables. The muhammara was my favorite! It has a little bit of spice and the walnuts on top add some crunch. We also ordered a side of sweet potato fries. They came with an incredible lemon tahini dipping sauce. For our main plates, we all ordered the Lebanese bowl. I got falafel and everyone else got chicken. It was a delicious plate with a little bit of everything. I'm all about the sauce, so the yogurt tzatziki sauce was my favorite part. Plus, the falafel was perfectly fried and crispy. For dessert, we got a baklava. It was delicious and flaky with a great pistachio crumble on top. You absolutely have to order one at the end of your meal.

Everything about my experience was top tier. The food was amazing and very nice atmosphere. I had the veggie bowl w/ kafta & laziz lemonade. 10/10. So much flavor. Ellie was INCREDIBLE. Very attentive & went the extra mile to check in and bring extra sauces and share recommendations. I don't typically review restaurants but this one was well deserved.

FourFing Fabulous! Great food! A bit spendy, but worth it. Nice patio with mountain view. The croissant bignetts ARE to die for! Delightful drink!

Food quality: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Pretty late to the game, but finally got to try out @lazizslc ! This lovely little restaurant serves up Mediterranean style food that is packed with flavor. We got: The sampler plate with hummus, baba ganouj, and spicy labne Lamb Burger - Niman Ranch Lamb (5oz), lettuce, tomato, yoghurt sauce, caramelized onions, beet crisps Salad Bowl - Mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomato, green onion, parsley, capers, olives, feta, pickled cabbage, crisped onion, + salmon (this was my ONlY complaint. The salmon was way over cooked and dry) Lebanese Bowl - Lentil and rice pilaf, yogurt sauce, house salad, caramelized onions and beef Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

This place is so cute and clean. The food is absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was perfect. The lamb and beef are halal and they will cook it separately for you too. Service is excellent and the general ambiance is very calm and cosy. We will definitely be making this a regular must-visit!

The food was really good and the waiter was very helpful. I'd the the seasoned ground beef dishes; they were super flavorful

I've been to this location a handful of times now, and it's delicious every time! It used to be counter service, but today during lunch we had a server - I don't know if that's something new that they've added recently, but it was a nice touch! I've gotten their wraps, their sampler dips, and their salads, but today I mixed it up and got their Zataar Roasted Veggie Bowl and it was delicious. Basmati rice, potatoes, brussell sprouts, onions, with I believe a tahini dressing? You also get your choice of protein and I chose their cauliflower but they have falafel, chicken, and beef as options as well. My friend got their wrap and it is HUGE! It came with sweet potato fries and I of course stole some and the dip they have for the fries is delicious. My friend really enjoyed her wrap and saved half for later. My biggest tip: GET THE BEIGNETS! They are absolutely amazing. They come out fresh and hot and perfectly flakey and crispy. They come with three different sauce options - Nutella, raspberry jam, and a cinnamon honey butter. I would literally come here just for the beignets alone. They're amazing.

The food was good -- I had the mediterranean plate and it was pretty good. The only thing lacking on the plate was the chicken which I think missed on flavor and it was a little bit dry. The vibe in here was just weird. It was a Monday night so maybe that's why -- but it was just an awkward experience. The waiter was nice but at the same time made things weird. Maybe it's better later in the week? Otherwise the restaurant seemed very clean and well put together.

In Salt Lake City and located Laziz Kitchen for a light and rewarding lunch. They have several locations, 9th Street worked for us. It was an overcast day, but an outdoor patio table with an umbrella worked out well. The menu has a varied selection with many intriguing choices. The beet dip with tahini, garlic and lemon juice was being served to a neighboring table and was a must try. The topping of fried garlic pushed this over-the-top. We also selected the lightly fried yet not battered cauliflower florets with salt, pepper and cumin dusting was nicely done. The tahini dressing was a good addition. Splitting a lamb burger mixed with cilantro, caramelized onions, sun dried tomato, crisp fried beets, feta and yogurt sauce was perfectly cooked. The flavor was good, able to taste the lamb and the contrasting crunch made us smile. An additional napkin was needed. The staff was very friendly, gave suggestions when asked and left us alone to talk. Laziz Kitchen is the TOP Mediterranean restaurant in SLC. The calm setting, great food and innovative flavor combinations should be shared with everyone. When we are back in town, Laziz Kitchen will definitely be on our list. Great job, fabulous food and a kitchen willing to try something different.

My new favorite place to eat in SLC because of the food and service. Lamb Shashuka: warm, savory, comforting, rich Salmon Taco: fresh, vibrant in color and taste, filling and the rice was the perfect kind of complimentary Lemonade: extremely fresh, not too sweet, totally worth it (they forgot about our drink and gave us a complementary one on the house which was so nice!) Baklava: probably the sweetest and best baklava I've had

Food is very flavorful. Portions are not huge but it gives you an opportunity to try different items and not fill up on one. I had falafel, beef kibble and baklava. Excellent lemonade. I'm in SLC for work but will come back to try other entrees.

Great food and fast service!!! My husband and I really enjoyed our food and would definitely recommend coming here if you like Greek. We tried a couple dishes and would come here again and try more if we lived around here. The ambiance was nice area outside and inside. They have a smaller drink menu but that doesn't matter when the food is so good and service is fast. Servers are so nice and helpful!!

"I wish I could give you a review" - My Uber driver who was clearly not familiar with this part of town. He did seem a bit surprised that someone who had never been to Salt Lake City before would choose this restaurant over many of the others listed as "quintessential" in the local food scene. But you get a feeling sometimes. In Yelp we trust. I started with the grilled sheep cheese. It's marvelous, almost like a bread cheese and when you spread it with the seasoned tomato paste, it takes you to another level. The lamb burger was creative, firm texture more reminiscent of a steak than a burger and complimented by beet "chips" on the burger that were standout for leveling up the flavor. I sat in the front corner, which is situated a bit like the Godfather seat you'd expect in a mafia film. Back to a wall and tucked away out of view from the main restaurant. Ya gotta see it. Great service and overall experience.

We loved this place so much we went back a 2nd time. I ordered the Zaatar roasted veggie bowl. First, with Kafla and then the salmon. My husband had the Mediterranean platter both times. He said, "Why mess with perfection?" Our waiter was Alex. He explained about the different foods clearly. Alex was friendly and very attentive. We were able to walk from our airbnb. The food was so delicious, we will definitely return then next time we are in Salt Lake City. 5 stars!!

Incredible food and a SLC must try. Quick and helpful service, casual atmosphere, and excellent unique dishes. Pictured is the Zaatar Roasted Veggie Bowl with Kafta and the Shakshuka, both highly recommended. Baclava was also beautiful!

Fabulous - started w Halloumi YUM and then had Lebanese Plate w beef - lovely flavor and tender too. The tzatziki was perfect and even the small green side salad was super fresh and beautifully dressed. Best meal I've had in a while!

Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 4 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Sampler Dip Plate: $15 - Our party chose the 1/Hummus, 2/Baba Ghannouj, and 3/Spiced Labneh. The sampler dip came with carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, and pita bread slices. Each dip was very delicious but our favorite was the eggplant base. The smoked eggplant provided an extra flavor that really made the dip stand out. Yum! Lamb Burger: $15 - The The lamb patty was well seasoned and had a lot of flavor with the sun dried tomatoes. The yogurt spread on the bun helped provide a nice refreshing bite to cut through the heavy patty. For additional $3, you can order fries with your burger. Zatar Roasted Veggie Bowl with Beef: $16 - This seemingly simple dish ended up being my absolute favorite. The combination of spices, sauteeed beef, and roasted vegetables was delicious and satisfying. The basamati rice was cooked perfectly and paired well with the veggie medley. Overall, the meal was a little pricey but I would return and bring friends to try out Laziz Kitchen. The restaurant offers quite a few vegetarian based dishes but can also cater to the carnivores. Each dish had a delicious combo of spices and they don't skip out on the fresh vegetables. Laziz Kitchen offers light menu items that don't make you feel bloated or overstuffed after your meal. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this place but there were a few minor points of dissatisfaction. The service was a bit slow and you have to order at the counter. It was a little annoying that they use the Square tablet for payment that sort of makes you guilt tip despite being counter service. The food tasted mostly good but it took a really long time for it to be made, and I noticed their kitchen staff standing around and talking, which may have delayed the food being made. They were not that busy with customers when we were there. As for the food itself, some of the dipping chips in our dip sampler were cold and stale despite being fried-- they were not easy to eat and required quite a bit of tearing with teeth. The main dishes (my laziz wrap and my boyfriend's platter) were good tasting with great sauces, but I noticed that his dish was heavy on rice and very scarce on chicken. He ended up not being able to finish all of the rice.

Great quick medeteranian Food. It's a pre order service. Food came out pretty quick. Everything was really great except for steak strips, which is why I'm not giving 5 stars. Steak was so chewy it was seriously hard to chew and swallow. It seemed stale and it tasted very and sour. Besides this everything else was good. Muhammara was one of the best. Falefals, hummus, medeteranian rice, geape leaves, etc. were all good. Pita bread was ok. Portions seemed smaller than normal, but I'm comparing to LA restaurants that we normally go to in our home town.

Service was fantastic. Had a food allergy scare and they compensated my meal plus the appetizer that contained the allergen. Allergy was truly an accident and I believe they did everything they could to make it right. I even feel more educated about my own allergy knowing tahini means sesame;)

We went to Laziz for my birthday dinner. We ordered the halloumi and zatar fries. Both were so good and the Si dried tomato stuff with the halloumi was so excellent. I got the burger and my friend got a bowl of some sort. We both very much enjoyed our meals. The flavors were good and the veggies were fresh. This is a great place for an easy going dinner. The menu isn't huge, which is kind of nice. Not a ton of choices, but what they do have is excellent.

I had the Escalope Worst chicken sandwich I've had It looked burned, but was not even hot, not to the touch or to my mouth. The chicken was dry, and not tender. How you overcook chicken and serve it cold escapes me. The manager came out and asked how things were, and I told them. They were apologetic and offered a refund, but I didn't take it as I did eat the sandwich and fries. They said they would talk to the cook, so your experience may be better than mine. The fries were hot and tasty, and the garlic sauce was good. My partner had the Mediterranean platter, which she thought was ok was at least hot. You have to walk to to the counter to order, and are asked to tip before you even receive any service.

This place is falling apart. So sad. They no longer greet or seat you at the door. There's a sign that says order at counter seat yourself. So we did, but all the tables were dirty and sticky. Our appetizer came in about 5-10 minutes, but our food didn't come for 30 minutes after, and there was no body there! When our meals finally came my husbands lamb burger was hard and dry, the bun was hard and stale, I had a bite and told him to send it back, but he wouldn't. I had a veggie bowl with salmon and my salmon was dry, AND to top it off I bit into a little bone! What!? Inside a veggie bowl with salmon? Where did that bone even come from? We will not be back.

Food is laziz, customer service I give it eight out of 10. atmosphere is friendly.. waitress did not listen to my order.

Laziz is Salt Lake's version of the go-to neighborhood Mediterranean spot; no frills, down to earth, reliably delicious Mediterranean fare. We arrived during a cold, rainy evening and felt immediatly taken care of. The staff (shoutout Paul) knew the menu inside and out, and was palpably excited to share the food and the experience with us. It truly felt like being welcomed into Laziz's community. The menu was perfectly constructed for light shareables and nourishing, wholesale mains. Everyone at our table was more than satisfied with their meal, with the shakshouka, hummus, and Za'atar roasted veggies with cauliflower being our favorites. "Tasty and light" could not be a better description for this restaurant. If you need a quick, delicious, nourishing meal, this is the spot.

Gave them another chance because I was hungry and they are across the street. Horrible!!!! How this place is still in business and has several locations is a testament to Utahns unsophisticated palettes. People here will argue that the food is good in this State. Oh, how mistaken they are. The meal lacked flavor. Stale pita bread (again), soggy rice, bland hummus, and pickled cabbage, and Israeli salad, both days old, thrown into the warm food. By the time I got home, the salads were warm too. DISGUSTING meal! I threw 2/3 of the meal away. I will never return!

Great location , carpool with friends , many vegan options and tasty specials ! Service is good and the restaurant is beautiful!

I'm a huge fan of this place! Their grilled halloumi was a must try imo. Both my friend and I enjoyed it a lot, especially with the sun dried tomato and olive sauce. We chose beet, walnut and babaganoush for the dip sampler and all of them tasted amazing! I suggest you to pair veggies with beet or walnut dip and babaganoush with pitas bread. Their pita bread was so fluffy and airy. Love it!

Delicious veggie bowl with chicken cooked to perfection. Friendly service. Clean and comfortable atmosphere.

We were disappointed to arrive at 11 am on a Saturday to learn they were not serving their normal menu, but a brunch menu. We had a pretty large group and every single one of us didn't know this, so it wasn't just one person's oversight - there is no indication of this on their website. We were all eager to try the normal menu so we're bummed to have a pretty basic brunch menu as our only option. That being said, if we had known and we had planned to go to brunch, the food was fantastic! I got the shakshuka and it is one the the most delicious things I have eaten in months. It was so flavorful! I was very happy with my order. We will have to be back to try the normal menu, and I would highly recommend they advertise their brunch menu on their website!

I want to start off by saying that this was one of my fav places to frequent until this last poor customer service encounter. We ordered take out and not only was it not done by the stated time, we waited another additional 20 mins before saying something and the person working behind the counter was so rude and his attitude was so off putting. We decided to cancel because we had somewhere else that we needed to be. They said that they'd cancel via DoorDash, which they never did. When I called DoorDash, they said that the restaurant marked it as picked up. On top of that, we asked to speak to the manager, and they gave us a card with a number to call. The workers must have warned the Director of Operations, Wally Villar, right away because when we called, he'd pick up and hang up immediately. We tried multiple times. Really really disappointing experience and as much as I like some of the food there, it's so not worth the poor customer service.

The service was great and the team was positive happy and helpful. Ambiance was good and their patio was nice and clean. I order the platter with chicken. The food had good flavors but the grape leaves were over cooked (mushy) and their rice was crunchy (I'm pretty sure not totally cooked). Hummus was good (didn't get more than a small scoop) but everything else (except chicken which was nice and moist) needed to be topped with sauce as it was dry. Hope to give them another try when in town but this go was not the best.
