There are quite a number of shops and restaurants moving into downtown Kent and as a resident I am extremely happy with all of the new businesses!
Laziza's is one of these new restaurant in the newly built Acorn Alley II in Kent, Ohio.
I had dinner with a few friends this Friday. The atmosphere and food were both great! We got to the restaurant a little after 5pm and were able to get a table in the lower level dining room right away. Both owners (Michael and Nicole Awad) came to the table at different times to ask how things were going - very nice people. I ordered the Falafel wrap which came with a Lebanese salad. The falafel were flavorful and fluffy, fried just right. The seasonings were great - lots of fresh parsley and creamy tahini sauce. The Lebanese salad had large chunks of tomato, cucumber, green pepper, and red onion with a great dressing. I ordered a falafel wrap and chicken shawarma wrap to go. Even the next day both wraps were delicious right from the fridge.
I will be a regular at Laziza's for dining in and take-out! Thank you to the Awad's for choosing Kent to start their restaurant!
Definitely a recommended place to eat!
Side note: since the building they're in is so new, it's not yet really marked on any online maps. The address I gave is close and will get you to the right spot, but it may not be the official address. Also, their website is still under a bit of construction so you can view the menu and see pictures on the Kent Patch article about the opening: http://kent.patch.com/articles/hot-spot-laziza-still-awaiting-phone-internet-hookups#c
