Everything was incredible. From the welcoming staff, to the food. We ordered the grape leaves, falafel, lamb, chicken and kofteh bbq plates. The food was flavorful and cooked to perfection. We will be coming back very soon. read more

Lazeez Mediterranean Cafe - This falafel was off the hook!!! By far the best falafel I have ever tasted. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing food. Very family friendly. Extremely authentic. Owner very nice. We had a great time with family.

It was our first time here and thought that the meeza plate and beef swarma was delicious. The beef was tender, full of flavor, tender and plentiful. The meeza I thought was a great combination although I was not a fan of the babaganouj and tabouli. Their hummus and falafels were delicious. I would return to try other items they have to offer. This place is a cozy diner setting, with a cute outdoor seating as weather permits. The staff behind the counter are courteous but do not understand much English. Watch out for their mesmerizing eyes read more

Being middle eastern myself and have had numerous shawarma, gyro and more food this place really disappointed me. I got the chicken shawarma plate, the rice was on the dry side, they the garlic dip was lacking flavor, the hummus need more tahini or something to give it a good flavor, the chicken was also flavorless. The service was good and food was ready pretty fast. The place is a little old with indoor and outdoor sitting. I had seen this on IG and thought it would live up to its hype but sadly it did not. read more

Why do restaurants sometimes seem to not care whether customers come in or not? This restaurant was empty when we arrived to order our take out food. The staff did not seem very happy that we were there and were seemingly exasperated that we were unfamiliar with the menu. The mediterranean food was fine, not super good but fine. There are a LOT of other restaurants in the area, I'd suggest you chose another establishment. read more

I can only say that this place needs to step up their customer service and food quality if they hope to survive next to all the food trucks in this location. We arrived last night around 7:00 excited to check out this place. Our money would have been better spent elsewhere. The music was so loud that it was annoying and I wanted to turn around and leave but also give anew place a chance. I ordered a gyro and when I got it wrapped in foil , no plate , it was literally meat, tons of lettuce and tzatziki. It was ok but not a true gyro . We ordered onion rings which I will say were very good but when my husband brought the bottle of ketchup to the table I could not believe what I saw. It was a large bottle about 1/8 full with dried out crusted ketchup all around top with ketchup smears down the side. It was disgusting and I tried to wipe it off but just moved it aside. It was obvious to me that these owners really paid no attention to their dining area. The drinks had 2 that were out and when my husband pointed it out to them he was told to grab a coke from the cold case. No bother to correct the problem or apology for it being empty. I would not ever return to this restaurant as there are other places to eat. I felt like we were bothering them as they did not even offer to bring the food from the counter to the table! The best part of my meal was the onion rings. read more

Ate here a handful of times and it's always been good. I feel like they've updated their menu recently and the food has gotten even better! I usually get the chicken shawarma but decided to give the Lazeez 2 meat special a try and got it with half chicken half falafel. That was bomb and definitely my new goto along with a side of tabouleh. Owners are always nice. Great little spot. read more

Got to go food but indoor seating was classic with art and pics from the Middle East. Ordering was easy as we did so online and service was quick. Falafel was not dried out like other places that are Mediterranean. It's our go to spot and chicken is the next thing I want to try there. We ordered 5 and all 5 were great! read more

This place did not have their AC on, felt like a sauna walking in. I got the cauliflower wrap and it was pretty flavorless. Not super impressed. The website said the place closes at 9, but the staff wanted to leave at 7:30. They told us we could stay sitting on the porch and then they all left and closed early. But we were bombarded all night we people wanted to eat here and people who had ordered online and paid already coming to pick up their food face disappointment. read more

Hands down, my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I used to live around the corner and would regularly pop in for Gyros and Baklava --10/10 recommend! read more

We loved the quality of the food here. The lamb was juicy and fragrant, the rice well seasoned, the kofta spices were on point and the kofta was well cooked. The plate came with tabbouleh salad and hummus and this was one of the best hummus we had in a long time. Worth the trip and the money. Their arabic coffee was good too! read more

The food was SO GOOD. I haven't had good Mediterranean food in awhile. The gentlemen working were very kind as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped here on my wedding day on the way to the venue for lunch with my wedding party. Amazing food, great service, enjoyed both the beef and lamb gyro meat. Baklava was also amazing!! read more

This will be a very partial review. I was rushed, could only wolf down a half of an order of tabbouleh, and then had to go on my way. But I would believe the other reviews who say this is a fantastic Syrian place. * * * The menu is not a standard Middle Eastern menu. They have the traditional gyros and shawarma, yes and vegetarian goodies such as hummus. But they have a much larger and fuller menu of fried vegetables. The fried goodies are offered in a variety of formats. A vegetarian can do better here than they can in many other places. * * * The tabbouleh is some of the best I have ever had. Most tabbouleh is grim inedible stuff ... Dry kasha with a little parsley and mint in it, that you have to force down your throat. Other people's tabbouleh is a side dish that reminds you of how good your main dish is. It gives you something to put in the composting heap afterwards. * * * This tabbouleh is really special. The trick is vast amounts of lemon juice. It is light and refreshing. If you were having lamb, the lemon juice would be the perfect thing to balance the fat in the lamb. It is also moist, so you don't have the force the tabbouleh down your throat with a drink. I don't know why the rest of the world doesn't make tabbouleh this way ... But Lazeez recipe is a total keeper. * * * I have to pass through Four Points a lot these days. Checking out their grilled meats, their fried vegetables and their other vegetarian staples would seem like a top order of business. There is fine cooking here. read more

My husband and I stopped by here for some light snacks on our way to our hotel for a quick weekend trip. We had dinner reservations elsewhere so we just grabbed some sides, so for fairness, I don't know how good any of their entrees or meats are. The location is easy to miss if you're not paying attention, tucked into a small business strip on a very busy road. It definitely fits the bill for cafe dining, basic table and chairs, so I wouldn't recommend for a date or anything like that. The food was very hot and fresh though. The falafel was very good, fresh, nice crispy exterior, and the sauces were delicious. The fries were fries. They were definitely made in fresh oil, they were hot and crisp, well seasoned, can't complain. The fried okra was a bit bland, it was cooked good, hot, fresh, crispy, just not much flavor. I had to add quit a bit of salt and dip it in the sauce to really get the flavor to come out. The hummus was the star of the show, beautiful creamy texture, perfect flavor, so smooth, and it was great with the cucumber chips but some of the cucumber looked old and should not have made it to the plate. Overall it was very clean, nothing over the top with the service, nothing horrible. I would be willing to stop by again next time I'm in Bee Cave because I would like to try their meats. I came here based on others reviews and I don't regret it, it was a good basic experience. read more

We have eaten here twice and it was good. I don't know why they have all these bad reviews. The food is very flavorful, the bread was fresh and the service was fast. The building was a little hot but it the middle of summer in Texas. They had the AC going and it was working extra hard in the cute older building they are in. read more

Lunch at Lazeez after visiting Lake Travis. It was nearish to the Oasis that we thought it'd be worth stopping by. This place is really average, not bad but also not that great. Paid $12 for the gyro plate and $12 for the Arabic chicken shawarma plate. The gyro plate was better than the shawarma plate. The shawarma was drowned in garlic paste, and there were barely any pieces of chicken. Also the vegetables that came with it were really bitter and unappetizing. The gyro plate was really average, I wouldn't find myself craving it from here but it's a solid meat and rice combo. The hummus that came with it was actually yummy, but their pita bread was thin and dry. I think $12 for either of these plates is a lot especially given the amount of food but it's better than other things in the area. Lentil soup ($4) was good. Will mention they have a variety of vegan options! They have excellent service and the workers are patient while you order. read more

Amazing food! So flavorful and quick one place I will miss in leaving Austin. I we discovered it sooner

The ambiance was really warm and inviting while the service was really good . The cashier was really sweet and helpful. The food I got was chicken wrap it was 10/10 read more

The food is okay. Good, even, if your hungry and tired from driving on that long stretch of highway. Easy ordering and pick up. They actually smoked the babaganoush, thank goodness! But the majority of things taste just ... okay... to me. read more

Ordered takeout from here, and it was pretty good! Lots of flavor but honestly nothing too special, your typical Mediterranean restaurant. Would love to try it again but it's kind of far from me read more

Lazeez Mediterranean Cafe - Gyro Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Yum!!! My husband and I shared the Baba Ghanoush to start. It was very smoky, and different compared to others that I have tried. Not my favorite, but still good! They served this with a side of pita. I got the mix plate with Kofte and Lamb. I ordered it with the tabbouleh and hummus. It also came with rice and pita. I really enjoyed my meal! The hummus was fabulous, the meats were flavorful and juicy, and the tabbouleh was fresh. My husband got the Arabic chicken shawarma. He liked his meal, and it tasted good to me too. I think this would be a good option for picky eaters because it's pretty basic. I would definitely visit again, and try other options on the menu. I think this is a solid middle eastern/ Mediterranean option in my area. read more

Thought my Shawarma was very delicious. The pita bread and vegetables were all fresh. The service was friendly. Lazeez was very clean. I look forward to going back to try other dishes. read more

My wife and I had a strong falafel craving and since Lazeez is the closest option, off to four points we went! We wanted to get a good sense of the menu, so $30 later we had baba ghanouj, falafel, fried okra and a chicken shawarma wrap. I really wanted to like the food more than I did, mainly owing to how friendly the staff are. But everything was very average. The baba ghanouj was the best of the bunch, and unfortunately the falafel was below average. I thought it had a faint fishy taste, which is bizarre since there's no fish on the menu. read more

This is some delicious Mediterranean! Everything I've ever had from here is extremely good. Their hummus is to die for, I could eat my weight in it. I usually get a chicken dish but I have also recently tried a beef (I think, my husband ordered it but whatever it was it was good) & I was super impressed. I believe this is a family owned business & they are always quick & friendly. The inside smells sooooo good & is very clean. This is one of our favorite go tos since we don't live far from this location & it's always a healthy option! read more

Although this place is out of the way, I always try to make my way to it once every 2 weeks. My go-to is the shish tawook, which takes a little bit more time since they cook the kebabs to order. The chicken is always juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. The rice is very tasty. I've tried making rice like it at home and it never comes out as good. I usually get baba ghanoush instead of hummus and spread it on the bread. On another note, the owner is always so kind and friendly when I come in. He is always genuinely welcoming when I come in. I love this place and will keep coming back. read more

Well. I ordered delivery from them tonight and my mind was blown. I love Mediterranean food and this is exceptional! Based on the reviews I read I ordered the Mixed Plate with lamb and chicken. Both were seasoned nicely and not dry. The sauces were nice and complemented everything. I also ordered the Falafel (so amazing and not dry!) I love falafel and this is some of the best I have eaten. Great hummus. The only complain I have is the pita bread. Maybe make it thicker instead of so large. I like my pita soft and warm. But the baklava made up for what the pita left desiring. Maybe the best baklava I have ever eaten. Yum. If you are looking for Mediterranean food, this is your place. It beats Halal Brothers and Levant hands down. read more

I have no words!!! This place is AMAZING! Top tier flavors and the family that owns this place has super nice young men working up front. I love Mediterranean food and this definitely top tier. They've got it down. I'm sure this place will blow up in no time. Great service, & great food! Definitely will be back. Chicken shawarma and falafel appetizer were 10/10!! read more

Excellent family run local place. Authentic and delicious. Plenty of variety and offerings and he makes a delicious homemade toum emulsified garlic sauce that is . Highly recommend. read more

Best Baklava that I have ever had. My guess is that someone's mother is making this in house because they have some serious cultural know how. I do wish that this knowledge could be transferred to the food. My complaint is the gigantic rice portions and small portions of (sometimes) dry Koobideh. Recommend more spices. read more

Stopped in here for a quick dinner to go. Staff said the order would be ready in 10 minutes and they were spot on. It was great walking in as the order was just filled. Ordered two gyros--one chicken, one original. Both tasted fresh and were large portions. Also appreciated they had a variety of sparkling water in the cooler. We'll definitely return. read more

This is the most authentic Mediterranean food in Austin. I have tried gyro plates in many places around the world and this is the best I've tried. The gyro plate comes with a homemade salad, hummus, gyro and rice. The prices are unbeatable for the quality and size of the plates. A friend introduced a group of our friends to eat here after being on the boat in Lake Travis and I couldn't say no. The music was traditional and upbeat. Bathroom is well taken care of. Food was ready for 9 people quite quickly. I bless the manager as he was so nice to let us stay after, as our group was enjoying ourselves so much we didn't even realize we stayed past their closing. read more

Excellent food, good portions, very tasty! First time there and we'll be back next time we're in town.

I'm from the area of Dearborn Michigan. Dearborn has the highest Arabic population in America. Therefore, having THEE BEST Mediterranean food. Lazeez is the first Mediterranean restaurant that I've been to in Florida, Alabama and Texas that has legitimate Arabic food. I got a chicken shawarma. Hubs got the beef shawarma. We split grape leaves. There garlic sauce is perfect. Everything was fresh AF. Even the fricken lattice was delicious. The reason for 4 stars. We got a to go order on our way back home to Corpus Christi. Hubbs asked for no tomato extra pickle. Unfortunately, they left off all the Arabic pickles, which is just as good as the garlic. So I had to give him one of mine. read more
