2013
First Restaurant
The first Lazeez opened in Mississauga with freshness, flavour, and generous portions at the centre.

United By Taste
The Lazeez story starts with a shared love of Middle Eastern food and the Canadian communities that made it their own.

Authentically Middle Eastern. Proudly Canadian.
Lazeez began with founders from different backgrounds who connected over one thing: the joy of great Middle Eastern food. Their first restaurant opened in Mississauga in 2013 with a menu focused on authentic flavour, freshness, and big, satisfying meals.
That spirit still leads the brand today. Shawarma is marinated, roasted, carved, sauced, topped, and finished with the spice level each guest chooses. It is fast, generous, familiar, and full of personality.

Wraps, bowls, sides, sauces, toppings, and spice levels made the way guests like them.
What Makes It Lazeez
Lazeez is not quiet food. It is warm pita, loaded bowls, sauce on the side, sauce on top, extra heat, extra garlic, quick service, and a team that knows people remember how a meal made them feel.
01
The menu is rooted in shawarma, falafel, rice, lentils, salads, pita, garlic, tahini, and the warm flavours guests come back for.
02
Lazeez grew from Mississauga into neighbourhoods across Ontario by serving food that feels local, familiar, and full of personality.
03
Every order is about freshness, choice, and pace: carved meats, crisp toppings, signature sauces, and spice dialed to your mood.
04
From quick lunches to family dinners and catered gatherings, Lazeez is built around the moments people share over food.

Signature Taste
The Lazeez experience is built around personal orders: chicken or beef, falafel or veggies, rice or fries, garlic or tahini, mild or a serious kick. The menu gives guests a familiar base and lets them make it theirs.
