Lazeez Mediterranean - (Near Richland, WA)

5 /5 Jerome Reed: Chicken shawarma was amazing! Seasoned rice was good too but nothing compared to other appetizers on the menu. Very cozy place just curious on why ai videos on the tv out of all things. However we’re not reading this for a review on the atmosphere.

5 /5 David Brager: I love baklava. It is very difficult to find it fresh made, but Lazeez Mediterranean does an exquisite job with their baklava. The first thing I noticed that was different was the pistachio zest covering the tops of the pieces. Just a light powdering, but it looked beautiful and tasted exquisite. There was plenty of honey and sweetness, but also a plethora of nuts. The dough was flaky, and it just melts in your mouth. This was a wonderful experience and for $6.99, was it very enjoyable choice for a quick dessert after leaving my coffee meeting at McDonalds across the street. The restaurant is located in a building that, in the 1970s, had been a 1 hour photo shop before it became the birthplace for the restaurant "Some Bagels", which has been a very successful bagel shop in business, now located across Williams Boulevard and has been for nearly 50 years. May Lazeez Mediterranean be blessed with such success. The servers were kind, the restaurant was exceptionally clean, and the baklava, in my take-out, was wonderful. If you have a sweet tooth like mine, and enjoy really good baklava, you will not be disappointed. Baklava is very intensive work, and over the years Ive had a lot of different levels of quality. This was by far the best. It was fresh, it was light, and it was delicious.

5 /5 A Johnson: Been waiting for this place to open and was not disappointed! Service was friendly and gracious. As for the food, it was utterly delicious. The hummus was creamy and I loved the olive oil dispenser on the table. Pita was soft and pleasantly chewy without being hard. The ouzi was incredible - the rice was fluffy and the veggies and almonds rounded out the dish well. Their garlic sauce complemented everything beautifully and their spicy sauce (vinegar based) made the ouzi bright. Overall, this place is wonderful - I will visit again soon and highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional middle eastern flavors.

5 /5 Alexandria Seppala: The food is incredible! The quality and presentation of each dish was a wonderful surprise, and I cant wait to go back to try more of the menu. Easily the best baklava of my life (my favorite was the pistachio!) with the perfect texture she flakey/sticky/sweet ratio. The gyro was so filling but not overly heavy. The vegetables were all fresh and crispy, meat was perfectly done, a nice light sauce, soft bread, and neatly wrapped. While the food alone is enough to make me a repeat customer, I look forward to seeing the atmosphere develop as the business grows into their new space. It feels so special to have discovered this place early on!
