Reviews Lazzez's Grill Indian Cuisine

Fantastic food in an area (including Vancouver) of mediocre/disappointing Indian food. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Outstanding flavor. The staff are lovely and they have local craft beer.

Really delicious food. Tried the vegetable/lamb korma and fish masala, both were incredibly flavorful, even our two year old loved the food. Have to get the garlic naan to go with the main dish. We have gone there 3 times since it opened and will be one of our go to restaurants in our area.

I had driven by several times before deciding to go on and check it out. What a good choice. The food was amazing. We had butter chicken and tika masala. Both were fantastic. The service was great. The atmosphere very nice and the wine was a decent price. We will defiantly be making this our regular Indian go to place.

I have driven past this place a dozen times. Decided to pick up dinner one night on my way home. It was delicious! The people working there were super friendly and inviting. Came back a week later. My new go too place now.

I can't say enough about the amazing service and quality of food. I will continue to come here for delicious foods and trying new items on the menu. Keep it up guys! �

Great food for a great price! Excited to try more items off the menu! Staff was very friendly and helpful!

Discovered this gem when we moved from Vancouver to PoCo and were insanely famished with our move. Our Uhaul place happened to be close by and Lazzez was the best foodie decision we made that day! We tried the buffet and weren’t disappointed - the tandoori was fresh and flavourful and so was the chicken Karahi. Since then we have ordered takeout from them once every week. The biryani, Malai tikkas and curries are fantastic! Definitely our favourite Indian takeaway place! Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. Lunch buffet is delicious and fresh, spice is perfect. Wonderful fragrant flavours. Dinners are reasonably priced for what you get. They make everything except the papadoms in house!! Excellent customer service. There's plenty of parking as well.

I'm really surprised that this place has such a low rating as it is exceptional!   My husband and I have both travelled extensively and lived in England and have eaten a lot of great Indian and this place rivals that, in an area (including Vancouver) of mediocre Indian.  This is some of the first we have enjoyed outside of Surrey, and even then, we think this surpasses it.  We've been twice the Kadai lamb, Kadai chicken, chicken curry and roti are all lovely.  The owner and staff are very friendly and really care that you enjoy your food.  Local craft beers are a bonus.  The decor is nothing to write home about but the food makes up for it.  Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great service and the food is always fresh and made perfectly! So happy Coquitlam finally has a clean and delicious Indian restaurant with fair prices. Definitely not going anywhere else anymore! Fish pakora and Chana masala are amazeee!

This is the best Indian restaurant in the Tri-Cities. Great food, delicious curry, and I LOVE that there is A LOT of selection, even lots of vegetarian dishes for my vegetarian family members, even lots of desserts to choose from! Great atmosphere, comfortable seats and tables, and everything is very clean (unlike some other Indian restaurants we've been to). I love that I never have to wait for a table. Great service, they are always here to make sure you're enjoying your meal and they can make any meal custom to your needs and desires. A must-try! We are really glad we found this restaurant, we love Indian food, we will be going back frequently.

This is one of the best tasting East Indian cuisines I have ever had.They balance their curry spices just right. Because they make their curries to order, the spiciness of your curry can be adjusted to your liking, non-spicy, mild, to hot. The food they make do take a bit of time to cook so the wait time is maybe an extra 2-3mins more than our usual wait for food. I have been to this place for more than 3 times and I order different curries each time. Never had each dish disappointed me. The ambiance and décor may not be the most spectacular but I'm personally there for the food and not the setting. The main dishes do range from $11-$15 per dish however, factoring in the made-to-order dishes (fresh grounded spices) and service and the amount of time to cook the curry without burning, I think it's quite fair. I had their naan breads both with seasoning and not. Both are excellent choices. Personally I'm a huge fan of their pilaf rice. It's beautifully cooked. Great with curry.Tandoori chicken, needless to say, it is wonderful. Very moist and tender. Not dry at all. A must order dish.I can't say which curry was best because I loved each and every single that I tried. My first time there, I had the Chicken Korma and the Mango curry. The only down side I would say is the kids menu option. I couldn't really bring my 18-month old to this restaurant as their dishes aren't suitable for kids. I don't think naan breads itself would be enough to call it a kids menu. This place is great for a quick date night.

the service was great and the food was delicious! Me and my boyfriend got the chicken korma and the lamb curry and it was perfect. The spicyness was just right and our server asked us how our meal was going and checked up on us regularly! 5/5 recommend !

Right off Barnet Highway is an (almost) brand new (not even 2 months at this point) Indian restaurant, serving authentic Indian foods.

My friend and I stepped in for lunch a few days ago. Unfortunately no one else was in the restaurant at that time, perhaps we had just passed the lunch time rush? In anycase, we were not deterred by their lack of clientele.

Our server was one half of two brothers that own the restaurant. The other is the head chef. He was very pleasant, and had quite a few recommendations on what to try.

Dish 1.  Tandoori Chicken (4pc @ 9.99) 
While a little bit on the pricey side for this appetizer, it was surprising to have tandoori chicken that didn't taste like it had been precooked and left under waiting to be taken out to a customer. The chicken came out an a sizzling! hot plate, with a side (sour) sauce, and on a bed of vegetables and a wedge of lemon. It was extremely well cooked, tender and flavourful. Personally, I do like a bit of a yogurty sauce with my Tandoori, but the sauce did work well here. 

Dish 2. Chicken Korma (11.99)
Flavorful, moist, chicken breast in a healthy amount of creamy sauce. While I wouldn't say this dish was the star of the show, it definitely held it's own against the butter chicken. It did have a little bit of a spicy kick to it, but not overly so.

Dish 3. Butter Chicken (11.99)
This dish pretty much blew my friend and I away. I love butter chicken, and I've had a lot of butter chicken- it is the standard when I go to an Indian restaurant. This one rates way up there, might be pushing #1 on my list, as the sauce was very (correction, extremely)  flavorful, and the chicken was oh so tender- very easily shredded with a fork.(I say this, as I've been to several places where I feel like the chicken was from either yesterday, or shoved in a pot or bucket for a long time - hard) The cream and tomato shine through the sauce. Suffice to say, this dish did not last long on the table.  I highly recommend this dish with both thumbs up.

The Naans

1. Garlic Naan (2.99)
Ever had naan that was clearly made yesterday, or has been sitting around, or maybe you've questioned a flat piece of bread that appears to be naan? That's not this naan. This naan has fresh garlic grated on the top, and a healthy dose of oil, but not overly so. Just a little bit of crunch off to the side, without making it like a piece of toast, but not rubber either. This naan is a must try here.

2.  Paneer Naan (2.99)
While recently traveling, I found out that Naan can also be made with cheese inside. Who knew, right? In anycase, I found this and >had< to order it.  A healthy dose of oil, a decent amount of cheese, and some fresh spice on top make it a good choice for naan.  However, it could be better. While I'm not an expert in Indian cuisine by any means, I feel this naan could be so much more. It's lacking something. Maybe combining the garlic naan and the cheese naan together would turn up something even more fantastic? Just my two cents on the matter. 

Dessert

Gulab Jamun (2.99)
[Pastry balls deep fried in a sugary syrup]
For those of you that know me, you know I absolutely am in love with Kheer and Gulab Jamun. Think of a Tim Horton's donut hole, now think of that donut hole fried and dipped into syrup. That's what this (almost) is. Once again, I am not an expert in Indian cuisine, but there have been several times where I can tell the Gulb Jamun is not fresh- this is if the ball itself is hard, or super squishy because its been dipped in syrup for so long that it might as well be pudding. This was none of that. A perfect amount of syrup, and a great fried ball,  slightly (i say very slightly) crusted outside, and a perfect fresh cake-like inside. Not overly sweet like some Galub Jamun either.  The owner told me that it is made fresh in house, and i'm inclined to believe him. This is one of the best Galub Jamun desserts I've had, and I wish I had more than one.

Other stuff
The decor in this restaurant is very indian themed, but not overly done to take away from the restaurant. The music was (at least to me) a more modern Indian style of music, and was not overly loud.  There is an outside seating area and yes, they do have drink specials and have a liquor license. There is ample parking in the parking lot (which is located right next to crossroads hospice thrift store by the way) 

Pricing
While a little bit on the expensive side, ($60+ with drinks for lunch) you certainly get what you pay for in terms of taste and quality.

Final Thoughts
While I have been to a couple other Indian places in Poco, with quite decent results, I was hoping for something a little out of the ordinary, hopefully a 'hidden' gem. 
With food such as this, and aspiring owners that seem to actually care and have a commitment to the quality of food they serve, this won't be a 'hidden' place for long. I can say this because the owner said to me, 'If grinding our own spices takes an extra five minutes, we'll take that extra five minutes if it means better tasting food.' That says a lot in itself.  I implore anyone looking for a good bite of Indian food to stop by here and give it a shot. The results may surprise you.

Best Indian food tries after long time try out lamb spinach butter chicken fresh and flavourful thumps up for the treat if you are in Coquitlam I will definitely recommend go check this place out cheers
