| - ATMOSPHERE 5/5
Laziza has a very nice, classy, and almost formal atmosphere. Not a place you need to wear a tie or anything like that, but surely not a place you wear sweatpants and a tank top. The decor is tasteful and, when I ate there yesterday, I remarked that I liked the colors and the ceiling, especially. They have two floors and an outside. Really, no complaints. I give 4/5 because it was really nice, but didn't wow me or anything.
SERVICE 5/5
I've been to Laziza twice. Once in summer (like, 7 months ago) and yesterday (which is January). I can't remember my service from the first time, but the waitress I had yesterday was very nice and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the menu items and was accommodating when my girlfriend asked to switch something on her dish. The waitress was very attentive without overdoing it. Really liked the service.
TASTE 4/5
Let me say that I am no expert on Mediterranean food. Also, let me say that I do not care for Mediterranean food. But, my girlfriend does, so we go sometimes. And let me tell you, each of the two times I've gone there, I've ordered pretty Americanized food. The first time, I got a fried cod sandwich with Laziza sauce on it. Laziza sauce is orange and made out of... I have no idea. Surely, more sophisticated palates can tell, but I cannot. The cod sandwich was a special and not on the regular menu. It was FANTASTIC. If they had it on the menu, I would go there much more often. Huge sandwich with a side of fries. My girlfriend got some wrap and salad. I did not try either, but she was very pleased.
Yesterday, I got the Laziza burger (I know, I know...) and my girlfriend got Ghallaya with a side of hummus (side of hummus was not on the menu, but they provided it to her free of charge, which I thought was very nice of them). My burger was not very good. It was too salty and the Laziza sauce was piled on it and it was overwhelming (which was not the case on my fish sandwich). I had fries as a side. Funny thing about their fries: they have tasty seasoning and they crisp on the outside while being soft (but not mushy) on the inside, but they have a notable oil taste to them. I really like their fries, but the oil taste is distracting. My gf was pleased with her dish. I had a bite and it did taste better than mine. I guess I shouldn't order a burger at a Mediterranean restaurant. Makes sense.
PRICING 4/5
There is a wide variety of prices at Laziza. Sandwiches are like $7-11 or something. Entrees are about $15 or so. Steaks are in the low to mid $20s and seafood dishes are around $30. Also, they have specials which are nice. Yesterday, they had $12 for a bottle of house wine (did not get it, so I can't speak to the quality) and 1/2 off appetizers. Beer prices are decent for the type of restaurant - cost me $3.25 for a domestic bottle. For the price and quality from my experience, I'd say it's cheaper than what I would expect to pay.
OVERALL 4/5
Laziza is a classy, yet casual, restaurant with very reasonable prices and pretty good food and great service. I am personally not a huge fan, but I do not much care for Mediterranean food, so I am trying not to let that impact my ratings. My girlfriend, who does like Mediterranean food, does like the restaurant a lot, so I'm factoring that into my rating. I like that they have daily specials as well. If you like Mediterranean and are in Kent, it's probably worth checking out.
