Very tasty and full of flavor! The buffet has a lot of good options. You have to pay for the water and there’s also a 3.5% charge for using a credit card.
Went for the buffet with friends and it was amazing! All of the food was delicious and cooked very well with a good balance of meat and veggie options. The biryani was the best I've had with the chicken being so tender it fell apart just trying to pick it up with a fork. The naan was also made fresh for each table so it came warm and fluffy to the table right when you finished your apps! I will definitely be back and drag all my friends as well!
I only tried the biryani. It’s usually my litmus test for any Indian restaurant that has biryani on their menu.I’m from NYC and I’ve tried biryani from nearly every restaurant in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Especially Queens. Even the likes of award winning Adda Indian Canteen.The lamb biryani at Lazeez far exceeds the fragrance, flavor, and texture of any of these other restaurants. Adda is critically very flavorful but the heat <> flavor ratio is completely misbalanced. You’re not supposed to be wanting to gulp down a glass of milk for every bite of biryani because of the heat.That’s what Lazeez gets: incredibly well balanced flavor. The lamb is so tender and you don’t have to go fishing for it in an ocean of rice. The fragrance is fantastic: mint, cilantro, cardamoms… the whole gamut. Fantastic job, guys!
Ordered here twice and still consistently delicious and authentic at that! The special biryani is so fragrant and tasty. Beware the spice level with the Hakka noodles. I assumed if there is a very hot level then I could tolerate hot - I was wrong. Still delicious though so I eat the dish with many breaks.
Came to Philly for the first time with some friends and we were craving some tikka masala and korma -- Lazeez delivered and exceeded. My chicken korma was scrumptious, my friends loved their chicken tikka masala, and the garlic naan was delish, as were veggie pakoras. A perfect meal for a city visit and nourished us for a concert afterwards! Cannot wait to bring my partner here soon! Would recommend!
Great experience!! Loved the meal. We had tikka masala and the Hakka noodles and they were absolutely delicious! Definitely would recommend. Also great friendly service
This is our go to Indian restaurant! Best chicken makhani in Philly - and I have tried MANY! Truly delicious, comforting food.
The food here was soooo good. We got the eggplant dish, lamb coconut curry, vegetable samosas, and spicy garlic naan. All were stellar.
We ordered takeout here tonight and loved it! We have tried many Indian restaurants and the area and this was a favorite, so glad we listened to the other reviewers! We ordered the chicken tikki masala, lamb curry, garlic naan along with mango lassi. Everything was amazing, perfectly spiced and will be a go-to from now on.
At first we ordered manchow soup which was burnt. There were many other issues related to food and tip of 18% was randomly charged forcefully eventhough the bill had an option to tip between 15% to 25%, for which we approached the server/manager telling him about the food (its too much lengthy to write here but just to give a gist, they don't provide dry noodles with veg manchow soup, if you order 2 entries then you would get rice just for one, roties were served after almost 10 -15 mins after the entries were served and we had to follow up almost twice for the same even though we were the only guest) as well as asking about justfication for randomly charging the tip without giving us an option to chose the desired tip amount but our queries were not addressed professionally and we felt that the server/manager was rude as he didn't gave any valid justification to our queries and kept telling us its been set that way by the owner and he had nothing to do with it and even then we did pay them judiciously. Overall it was not a good experienced for us.
