Is a great place to go for Mediterranean cuisine and some good drinks.
Great atmosphere and terrific staff.
I had a surprise Birthday party for my husband and everyone was very pleased with the service and the food.
Special thanks to Nicole, who made sure everything ran smoothly and each plate was just perfect presentation.

Monday is signature martinis for $5. Full size and strength, very well made. I recommend the Elder Statesman. Appetizers were great. Service was friendly and prompt. A very nice, elegant place.The best way to wrap up a Monday.

I happened upon this place by chance because I didn't actually have plans for New Years but I decided to take myself out on a date, anyways! My server Kendall was very warm and lovely :) and recommended the cucumber martini and the chicken swarma, omigoodness my taste buds were in heaven. The martini was refreshing and aromatic with the lavender liquor and the chicken and hummus were delicious I'd definitely come back again. I also appreciate how attentive and sweet Kendall was

First time coming here, and can't wait to come back. Had the mussels as an appetizer, and they were amazing. My husband had the honey chicken, and he really liked it, definitely had a bit of a bite. I had shrimp pasta, super delicious. Portion sizes were very generous. A++

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Local owners who care about the town. I'm a big fan of the salad with grilled salmon, but the beef kabobs are stellar.

Despite the quality of the food. Everytime I've placed a doordash order when they're seemingly "at their lowest peak" of business, they cancel my order after I placed it and then they turn off Doordash.
I also work in the industry and this is pure laziness and a lack of respect for ALL of their customers. If you can't handle the 1 hummus falafel roll I order then maybe you shouldn't be open?

Are favorite place to go for date night in the Kent area.
Great drink menu to select from. The Rib eye is a must get here. And the other half loves the Mediterranean pasta.The portions are generous and we had our wonderful server Kendal box up are desserts to go because there was no room left. Five stars across the board!

Location: 195 E Erie St. Kent, Ohio
Website: http://www.yourlaziza.com/
Parking: street parking and lot parking within 2 blocks
Service: Excellent
Price: Expensive, but not totally warranted

Beautiful restaurant with a Mediterranean menu.
Food is good... but not in the same caliber as the price point.
I would suggest limiting your visit to a cocktail and a starter.
The dinner menu is priced about twice the price it should be...
The quality and quantity of ingredients are good, but flavor was underwhelming overall.

Fantastic family owned restaurant. Fresh delicious food made from authentic family recipes. The whole family was very welcoming to us, even getting us a table outside on a very busy night.

I don’t write a Lot of reviews, I have written maybe five or six. Having said that, I came in for a couple drinks before going to a concert. The owner was tending bar and I have to say, she was sweet as peaches. The drinks were honestly the best I have had in ages. This place is the best, top of the class! Loved you guys!

Came here for a celebratory meal, and it was solid. We had made a reservation for a group of 10 at 3pm on a Friday, and the rest of the restaurant was pretty empty. My husband and I got the chicken kabob entree and subbed out the rice for extra veggies. It was just what we expected- the chicken was pretty tasty, and they didn't skimp on the vegetables. The only thing I'd ding them for was the service was pretty slow, especially considering we were basically the only people in the restaurant. Overall, if you're looking for a restaurant in Kent, check this place out!

We been here before and thought it was very good. This time not so much. I think covid19 may have hurt the menu and the quality. I hope when things improve they can turn things around.

I really like eating at this restaurant. They have a smaller menu do to COVID but everything is usually good or very good. They have a good wine selection and the staff is very friendly. The prices are moderate but the feeling of the place is that of a more expensive and nice restaurant.

I have been desperately seeking halal food delivery options during the pandemic. Every time I ask people about whether this restaurant is halal, they shrug their shoulders and say "I think so". I wish the owners would clarify this for those who have religious based dietary needs.

My girlfriend and I are so silly and we kept singing, "I took a pill in Ibiza" while we were here. The truth, however, is that we drank a Cosmo in Laziza! Which, even though Ibiza sounds marvelous, a fabulous cocktail in a tasty Mediterranean restaurant just might top it. I mean, especially because the pill part doesn't sound too ravishing.

This was one of the first days restaurants were open after Governor DeWine's big shutdown on March 16. It still feels eerie seeing all of the servers and bartenders with masks, however if it can protect them or us in any way, it&apos

I've been wanting to go here for a while but my husband isn't huge on Mediterranean, he thinks hummus and hummus relates food is a snack, not a meal lol. So I went when my girlfriend was in town and we both really enjoyed our lunches! We got the sampler with pita and enjoyed the hummus, baba ghannoush, grape leaves, and falafel. The baba ghannoush was my personal fav, but the hummus was also really fresh and it was nice to have these sides to smother on top of our meals for extra flavor when they came. I got chicken shawarma and so did my friend. It was a lot of food and made for even

In love with the decor. We went when they were slow so we were the only customers. Our waitress was very nice and we got fast service. I got a cucumber mojito which was absolutely amazing! One of my favorite drinks around. The French onion soup was also really good as well as the crab cakes. The veggies that came with our dishes were really good but our meat was overcooked. Overall out was a good experience.

We went to Laziza for a girl’s night out get together meal. My cousin from Canton took me and our cousin out who attends Kent U, this was the place she wanted to take us. I'm from Canada and I was very impressed with the food. The food and service was exceptional. Kudos to Kent for having a great restaurant.

Had a decent experience here for dinner. The atmosphere is really cool. I love their color choices and decor. It was fairly busy on a Friday night, but not so loud that you couldn't have conversation. It was pretty relaxing.

We enjoyed the falafel appetizer, and my wife's beef shawarma was wonderful. The beef had some really nice Mediterranean flavors. Both of us said we would order it again.

I got the Laziza platter, which had a chicken, steak and kafta kabob. The steak was pretty good, but I wasn't as big a fan of the other two meats. Kafta is one of my favorite things, and I

My co-worker and I went here for lunch and the place is simply amazing inside. It's very welcoming and has a nice ambiance. They had soft music playing in the background and the decor is something out of a magazine.

We were seated immediately. There were a total of 4 people in at the time. We only had 30 minutes to eat and we told our waiter that.

The service was ok. We didn't get a lot of attention, especially with it being so slow. My co-worker and I ordered the same thing, crab cakes and the vegetable of the day.

Let's talk food! The waiter brought us out one meal at

I can't believe we stumbled onto this great restaurant in downtown Kent Ohio! We came to town to enjoy a concert at Kent Stage ( an old theater getting restored) and viewed the menu prior to dinner. It looked great, but was better than expected!
Good service, and great food, plus generous drinks at reasonable prices. The only thing lacking - the restaurant is a little noisy when busy.
BTW - try the paella. The right mix of rice, spices and seafood! Excellent!

Don't miss this place!

I loved coming here when I went to Kent State, and it was a monthly treat due to price. I had the chance to go back yesterday while visiting, and it lived up to every memory I had of it.

I ordered the vegetarian sampler with extra bread and falafel instead of tabbouleh. It was absolutely delicious. The hummus and baba ghanoush were a tad acidic for my taste, but still good. The falafel is TO DIE FOR. The French fries are heavenly. I have dreams about these fries. Service was also fantastic, our server was on the spot with suggestions and recommendations, and very friendly.
