Lazizi Halal Cuisine

Lazizi Restaurant is a great Pakistani spot with a beautiful ambiance and very economical prices. The setting is pleasant and comfortable, making it a nice place to enjoy a relaxed meal. We tried several dishes, and overall the food was very satisfying. The samosa chaat was solid and flavorful, about 8/10. Their chicken biryani was the real standout — hands down one of the best biryanis we’ve had, easily a 9/10 with great aroma and taste. The butter chicken was good but leaned a bit on the sweeter side for our preference, so we’d rate it 7/10. Portion sizes are very generous, offering great value for money. The roti was also excellent — whole wheat, crispy, and freshly made. On top of that, the staff was very attentive and friendly, which added to the overall experience.

This a trendy Pakistani restaurant with popping eclectic decor and overall affordable prices for the city. Like the alcohol free bar modern concept. Was there for a late lunch so overall a quiet time. We ordered for two. A samosa chaat and chicken biryani. The meat was tender and the rice just right and well flavored. Compared to conventional Pakistani restaurants the portions are smaller but still adequate. The mint lemonades were great. The meat is halal.

Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area! The space is beautifully designed with thoughtful décor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. We tried a couple of their mocktails, which were refreshing and flavorful, along with the samosa chaat, butter chicken, and grilled kabobs. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous—plenty for the four of us with leftovers to enjoy later. The service was excellent as well, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in the DC area, don’t miss this hidden gem!

Beautiful decor and vibes. Unique concept with the dry bar. Solid service and delicious food. We honey spinach chaat (10/10), ordered Malai boti (9/10) and Butter Chicken (it was made mild for my wife but still tasted good to me). Mango and Sweet Lassi were delicious and authentic, although the mango Lassi was a smaller portion even though they're the same price. I recommend the chai after your meal and we were both too full for dessert this time around!

I visited Lazizi earlier today! It’s a cozy little place with a nice ambiance. However, I do feel there should always be one extra staff member around ,, we had to look around a bit to find a server. The Signature Lemonade was okay, but I really enjoyed the Malai Tikka Boti and fries — both were flavorful and fresh. Overall, a pleasant experience. Recommended!

My wife and I first came here for Eid dinner and were so amazed by the quality of the drinks, food and service. So much so that we agreed we needed to take my in-laws there when they visited (FIL is from Pakistan). We got to take them last night, and had an absolute blast. The number of times my FIL said how the food tasted just like home… I lost count. And the mocktails are out of this world good. So many seasonal options to choose from, and the presentation is incredible. We all sat there wishing we had 2 or 3 stomachs just so we could eat more of the food. Oh and I almost forgot that the decor is so beautiful (I’m a sucker for food closed brick), and they play Pakistani music that had me trying to sing along with my FIL while we ate. As we left, my FIL said “we need to come back here every time we visit.” I don’t think I can say anything better than that.

We tried Lazizi Restaurant in DC — the food was okay, but it didn’t really taste like authentic Pakistani cuisine. The drinks were good and the service was decent. Overall, it was an average experience.

The food was outstanding. We ordered the lamb chops and beef kubideh, and both were incredibly juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chef truly did an excellent job in preparing these dishes. We opted for takeout, but while waiting we noticed the ambience inside is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for dining in as well. Overall, a wonderful experience and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Stopped in for a quick meal. I got the chicken samosas, the hummus, and the boneless chicken tikka boti. Everything was delicious! I am excited to come back and try other menu items. Nice ambiance, very clean. Quick, attentive, and personable service. 100% recommend.

Ordered a lamb gyro wrap to go. The wait was less than 10 minutes and gave me a chance to admire the interior of this resturant which was amazing. Definately would be a nice dine in experience. My gyro wrap was quite large and flavorful, and reasonably priced. I also like the 2 side sauces tha came with it. Overall, I was pretty pleased with my experience.

This place is excellent! It looks trendy and upscale inside - very comfortable, but with lots of authentic and modern touches. The food is excellent. I got lamb curry, which tasted great but it was very spicy. Loved the cheesy bread that they bring as an appetizer. And the servers were all very friendly and efficient. When I was there, most of the other guests were Pakistani, which was a good sign that this place is the real deal. I'm so glad that this opened so close to my house because I'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food, the kebabs are highly recommended. Did not disappoint at all, and the prices are reasonable.

An amazing hidden gem that deserves way more attention and will definitely explode in popularity once it gets it! As a Pakistani, I'm not biased when I say their butter chicken, malai boti and lamb curry were out of this world and I'm proud of them for representing the cuisine well in a beautiful ambiance that is finally deserving of a culture that is very much overlooked in place of the usual "Indian" label. On top of that, they serve amazing mocktails (I really enjoyed the lemonade) and the prices were great. They could do with more servers as the food did take awhile to arrive and the cleanup afterwards was a bit delayed but overall my family and I were very happy. Thank you so much to Mr. Mannan for doing such a great job and providing the community with an elegant establishment that any Pakistani would be proud of!

Rip bar elena. That being said, this place was absolutely phenomenal. Once people start realizing how good it is, youll wish you had come before the long waits to get a table

Great food. Everything was delicious and super flavorful! Glad to have them in the neighborhood.

food was really good. loved the onion kulcha, shahi paneer (it's on the sweeter side which i enjoy), chicken biryani, and mango lassi. the decoration in the place is really nice. the server seemed condescending to be honest but i'll let that slide because i care more about the food.

Great service and food. I strongly recommend this place! 10 out of 10! Would definitely go back!

Great butter chicken! Beautiful venue and great food! The staff was really friendly and brought out some mango lissi

Lazizi was such a delight. The chicken tikka and the garlic naan were delicious, but it was really the incredible service and lovely ambiance that sealed the deal. The entire wait staff were friendly and attentive and the interior is well decorated -- we look forward to returning soon.

Generous portions and delicious food! The lamb gyro wrap and lamb biryani were standout dishes that we enjoyed a lot. As far as deserts go, strongly recommend the gulab jamun!

Hey fellow yelpers, I stopped by this new Pakistani restaurant yesterday after work for their soft opening and was treated to a delightful meal of curry lamb with basmati rice, samosas with a delicious green dipping sauce (I think its called mint cilantro chutney), nan bread, a tasty appetizer of two different types of grilled chicken served with the same delicious green dipping sauce and for dessert, rice pudding (I think they call it Kheer) topped with a drizzle of saffron sauce as well as lemonade drinks that were created using homemade syrups! It was a wonderful feast for the senses! And the portions were more than enough for me to have leftovers the next day! I can't wait to try everything else on the menu! Upon entering, you immediately notice the eclectic decor, exposed ductwork and relaxed atmosphere with house music softly playing in the background. Customers were greeted by plenty of friendly staff including the owner and his family who made every customer feel as if we were being invited into their home. From the mosaic tiled entrance (that is also handicap accessible for those who use wheelchairs) to the rustic wood floor to the wood top bar to the exposed brick walls to the rattan pendant lights to the big gold leaf mirror to the interesting chandelier above the foyer of what looks like a child's bed spring adorned with colored lights, you immediately feel as if you're inside a restaurant in old world Pakistan but with a modern twist, The bartender was just as nice and created some delicious lemonade drinks using alcohol alternatives. He was also very knowledgeable about the menu and he mentioned that he used to work at Sakina Grill on K St. NW and I said that sounds familiar...then I remembered that was the restaurant that went viral a few years ago for giving free food to the homeless and was about to close because of the pandemic when people from the community, including myself, and around the world came together and donated enough money to their GoFundMe to keep them open! Sakina Grill has since been sold but fast forward a few years later and the owner has now opened a wonderfully new addition to the H Street corridor called Lazizi where you don't even hear the street noise from inside the restaurant so it feels like an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. I highly recommend this family owned Pakistani restaurant and can't wait for the grand opening!!

Great food (with lots of vegetarian options) and very quick service. One of my favorite spots on H street!

The food was really, really good. Very friendly service. No complaints but all praises.
