Lazeez Pakistani Indian Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Spring Valley

First impression when you entered the front entrance is, the place looks clean. Looking over at the right, past the front entry, is the buffet bar and it looks very clean too. There were a few middle eastern patrons so that part is promising that the food would be good (and it was!!).

Upon being seated, they asked what you would like to drink. Drinks are not part of the lunch buffet price, FYI. Also they will ask what kind of naan you would like. We asked for the garlic naan and they were delicous. Great to mop all the sauces with!

The lunch buffet is $20.99/person as of 8/17/25 so make sure to call first for updates/changes. The lunch buffet has selected items while the menu orders will have more selections.

The lunch buffet has the following: about diff 5 main entrees 2 types of appetizers: Samosas and Pakoras 1 soup (lentil) 2 rice (chicken biryani and Tarka vegan rice) - both were DELICIOUS! 2 different desserts (more later) 1 sauce/condiment/salad bar

The appetizers were very tasty! They are fried but didn’t tast oily and fresh. The samosa had potatoes, greepeas as fillings. One of the best I have had!

The main entrees we tried were: Nihari - beef stew which was DELICOUS! The meat is super tender, melts in your mouth and the sauce is nice and rich. This was our favorite out of all of the main entrees. chicken Tikka Masala - the chicken is firm, not as tender like it hasn’t been simmered as long as the Nihari, which would have been my preference. But flavors are delicous, very rich and delicous Chili Chicken - this dish has a kick to it! It is delicous and the heat creeps up on you. The chicken strips are just the right size so that you have a good portion of the meat with the sauce and it was very yummy. Tandoori chicken- This was delicious and it seems to be more of the Pakistani flavors than the typical, reddish, Indian tandoori chicken which is a little sweet. The flavors here is more intense with the heat and depth and I really liked it!

The sauce/condiment/salad bar is very nice. They have a mix salad already and you can eat that with your main meals or as a salad by itself with or without sauce. It has a good mixture of greens, onions, tomatoes. There is also a chickpea salad too but I didn’t try it. Lots of diff sauces and other stuff like onion, sliced chili peppers, lemons, chips.

The desserts were: Suji Halwa: was good and I picked up a touch of cinnamon and ginger which has great health benefits for you. Kheer: A rice pudding topped with chopped pistachio, almond and coconut. This is THE BEST rice pudding I have had!! I had 2 helpings and I wish I ould have had more if I wasn’t so stuffed!

The staff here is very courteous! Superb services and professionalism!

The place is decorated very nicely, clean and modern with a touch of the exotic decorations from the middle east. Overall, we loved the food, the staff and how clean the restaurant is. They lived up to their motto: “Fresh, Tasty, Healthy!” and surpasses our expectations! We definitely...

I took husband & two teenagers to the lunch buffet here last week. I would not go back.

The food was fine, although I’ve been to other local Indian buffets with a lot more variety. Like many buffets, we had to wait for certain dishes to be replenished as their bins were empty. This was a Friday.

This is the inevitable reality at many buffets—the wait, when a dish/bin is depleted, and when more is brought out.

A perfectly-run buffet, in my opinion, is monitored proactively for dishes running low, so that more can be prepared & brought out before, or right when, it runs out. Then it’s brought out fresh & hot with no, or minimal, wait time for customers.

If the lapse is more than a few minutes, the meal is over & the diner has filled up on whatever dishes were available. It’s the nature of buffets.

The obvious upside to buffets is the variety. Theoretically, at least, you get to try the majority of what’s on the lunch menu for one fixed cost. But at $16.99/person, plus drinks, plus tax, plus tip, you may be better off ordering one of everything to share among you, than ordering the buffet.

I got a leaflet/flyer, available at cashier stand, advertising free soda with buffet purchase. This was not a coupon for current diners for their next visit. It stated that soda is always free with buffet purchase. Only after the fact did I realize we were charged for soda: $2.75 or $2.95 each, w/ free refills. . I didn’t ask for or receive an itemized receipt, but I did the math & we definitely didn’t get free diet cokes.

The tab for our party of 4 was $84. With tip, the meal cost nearly $100. Nobody was ravenous that day—not the fault of the restaurant, of course. But something I’ll definitely ensure IS the case, when we next venture out to a buffet.

Not getting the drinks free as advertised is reason enough not to go back. Exploiting a patron’s lack of knowledge about what they are entitled to, for increased profit, is a special kind of greed. But the mediocre food—not bad, not outstanding—and especially the relatively limited variety offered, would also be reason enough.

It’s a lot of $ for 4 people to eat lunch— unless you’re professional eaters or unusually hungry. Unfortunately that’s the case with all...

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF VISITING THE BUFFET!

Are you ready to experience a dining nightmare where you're treated like a second-class citizen just because you're not willing to overpay for mediocre food? I used to frequent this restaurant with my friends, but things have taken a turn for the worse.

Picture this: The Sunday buffet is advertised at $18, but get ready to fork out $28 - that's a whopping 30% increase! And those cute little tea cups? They're not complimentary; they magically appear on your bill for $3.50 each. Yes, they're actually monitoring how much tea you pour - can you believe it?

But wait, there's more! Despite their website claiming a mandatory 18% gratuity for parties of five or more, they sneakily added it to our bill for just three diners. Even after we clarified our party size, they stuck to their greedy ways.

And let's not forget the seating fiasco. Despite our repeated requests to move from our inconvenient table near the drinks station, they callously refused and treated us with disrespect.

The only saving grace was the Chicken Tikka masala, a dish easily found elsewhere. But is one decent dish worth the hassle and extra charges? Definitely not.

My friends and I left with a bitter taste in our mouths, having shelled out $83 for what was supposed to be a $54 meal. The unprofessionalism of the staff and their blatant greed left me questioning why they are even in the food business.

Save yourself the trouble and avoid this establishment...
