Laziz Kitchen Central 9th

Laziz Kitchen is a great place if you want to try unique flavors. We checked it out and weren't disappointed. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated with lots of seating. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgable about the menu and helped guide us. We ordered the sampler dip plate and chose traditional hummus, beet and baba ghannouj as our dips. Our favorite was the beet but all three were very good. The baba ghannouj had a nice smokey flavor to it. They have alcohol on the menu and we ordered a Laziz Lemonade with champagne. It was an interesting drink. You could really taste the orange blossom water which reminded me of a creamsicle. Our entrees were the Laziz salad and Lebanese platter. Both were very good. I ordered the kafta with the Lebanese platter and was surprised with the heat. It wasn't overpowering but added to the flavor and the yogurt cucumber sauce was a nice balance for the heat. The Laziz salad was very good. The dressing was to die for. We enjoyed our visit to Laziz and would definitely return. If you want take out they offer that as well. We saw a lot of food delivery people coming in and picking up orders. Prices are reasonable.

So good! Lamb burger is juicy and perfect cooked. Every bite was tender and full of flavor. The fries were delicious, almost as good as Honest Burger. Less oil would have been good just so the fries wouldn't get soggy too fast. Flavor was perfect though. I got the muhammara, baba ghanoush, and beets for my dip sampler. All were good but the muhammara was the best by far. I would get just that next time.

This place has an extremely warm & welcoming vibe to it, especially for diverse groups. I found the ambience to be engaging & inviting, along with kind servers. Menu is reasonably large, food was flavorfully yum & service prompt. My recommendations are - Muhammara dip, Sweet potato fries and the Croissant Beignets. For the price, some may want the portion sizes to be bigger but they worked perfectly for me. I'm gonna visit again to give few other dips a try!😀🤤

Laziz Kitchen totally surprised me in the best way! I love finding spots that feel unique, and this one really delivers. The food is full of flavor and creativity, with a delicious Lebanese touch in every bite. The hummus sampler a must! I recommend the Muhammara and the beet dip! 😍 Honestly, I could eat just that for my whole meal 😂. The zaatar fries were 10/10 and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a truly all-inclusive vibe that makes everyone feel welcome. You have to give this place a try, it’ll quickly become a favorite!

I ended up here based on a recommendation from Eater. My husband and I came by for a quick afternoon snack and we were greeted by some of the nicest people, including Steven. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. We got just a couple small bites, but everything was delicious. My favorite of the dips was the Muhammara.

Laziz Kitchen is consistently outstanding. The service is always attentive and friendly, and the food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything tastes vibrant and healthy, from the falafel and salads to the chicken shawarma and lentil rice. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and full of character with a welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for both casual lunches and business meetings. I’ve now had two work meetings here, and this will continue to be one of our go-to spots to bring clients. The quality, service, and overall experience never disappoint.

Excellent Mediterranean/Middle East food. The food was great, and the portion sizes were good! Everything was tasty and fresh! We ordered the Shakshouka and Laziz salad! Excellent service, our server was great at explaining the dishes and made great suggestions!

What a gem in salt lake city! i loved their lemonade, it was one of a kind. their Laziz Chicken Salad was seriously one of the most flavorful salads I've ever tried. 10/10 first time visit & will be back

We stopped in for dessert after eating dinner nearby, and we're so glad we discovered this great place! The baklava I was craving was absolutely delicious & the service was outstanding, especially since we weren't staying long before heading to a concert. The welcoming vibe also made for an especially pleasant experience. We ordered babaganoush to go, since we weren't staying long & were pinched for time, and it was seriously the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend!

My friends and I went Saturday night for dinner and had a lovely time! We ordered the dip trio with the beet, baba ganoush and the muhamara. My favorite was the beet dip but they were all delicious! The pita bread was nice and yummy too! For dinner I just had the meatballs, one friend had the steak and the other had a platter of some sort. The meatballs were fantastic but the tzatziki from my friends dish definitely help. The steak was so undercooked it was almost raw. It was almost blue. For dessert we had the croissant beignets and these were quite possibly one of the best things ever!! Raspberry, cinnamon butter and a chocolate sauce. They were hot, crispy, flaky, and just delicious!!! Fantastic way to end a meal.

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.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. Was not too crowded. Did make a reservation to be on the safe side. Food was so good and would come back as there are so many different things to try. Very cozy and intimate setting though also space for a big group depending on how busy they are and if you get in contact with them ahead of time.

This was my second time here. Great food, excellent service and very clean spot. I came for lunch both times. More like late lunch and ordered the salad bowl with lamb meatball with a side of rice. I also got the sampler. Everything is delicious and tastes fresh here. I definitely loaded myself before my trip out of Salt Lake. For that reason, I'll definitely return to this place any time I'm back in Salt Lake. Worth every penny and every minute.

Everything we ordered here was delicious and we couldn't get enough! Their twist on a mimosa is inventive and tasty with just the right amount of sweetness. Every dip we picked for the sampler was killer, we especially enjoyed the muhammara. I ordered a vegetable bowl with roasted carrots. I just loved every bit of everything we ordered!

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!

We tried the three dip sample, salmon taco, and chicken wrap. We both only could take a couple of bites before calling it quits, not good at all and not worth 60 bucks, and the service was not great either, don't worry we still tipped.

The kafta was different with what I tried in Lebanon but it was soft and tasty , the rice and lentils and onio which 8snvery common in west Asia countries like Iran, Lebanon and Syria and I liked it very much. Lebanese churros was something new and I belive the portion is too much for one person and needs little bit more cinnamon. Great service and good vibe, ill definitely try it in my next visit of salt lake city.

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.

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.

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!

I had their lamb meat balls. That's the only item halal on their menu. The Ambience and service was good.

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!

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!

Everything went well!!! and has gone well !!!! Laziz Kitchen is amazing Customer Service. You couldn't ask for a nicer company, you couldn't ask for nicer people. Our group from Algeria has been so happy with what we have ordered. The food tastes great the service is on time and prompt. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever. You can definitely tell Customer Service is a priority. I am not very adventurous, but I am going to Laziz and I'm going to have a whole taste test. I want to get to know LAZIZ KITCHEN better. I want to use them as often as I can. Every time I possibly can. They have surpassed any expectation that you could have for Catering. I just can't say enough about them. If you're looking for Mediterranean Lebanese foods, you will want to give LAZA KITCHEN a try if you have not already.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

Not impressed, although the remodel of the old Cedars of Lebanon is nice, the atmosphere and service is not like it use to be. The food is not bad, I can tell its pretty made and heated, its not authentic. Being im from the middle east. I think salt lake city lost its authentic Lebanese restaurant. I haven't been to one yet in utah that's as good as the original Cedars of Lebanon. Would I recommend this place, no, would i go back, no, would i say try it, up to you but its like getting falafel at McDonald's. Pte made and heated. The staff is chatting with friends, could care less about the customer.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

"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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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!

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!

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.
