Lazeez Falafel Salad Bar in County Durham

Auténticos Falafels de Oriente Medio - olvida la salsa de mayonesa y chile que guardan para los estudiantes y ten la salsa Tahini en tus falafels y carga tu envoltura con ensalada / pepinillo y verduras como lo hacen en Palestina. La única desventaja era que la envoltura en sí no era casera, pero puedes perdonarles que en la cabaña así de pequeña. Dos asientos en el interior y unos pocos en el exterior con otros asientos en las inmediaciones si está bien

Best veggie food in durham imho, Palestinian flag, dude making the food is cool, it’s like 5 minute walk from the bus station, only 6 pounds for a massive falafel wrap? In this economy? I have 0 complaints 11/10 I would marry the owner of the shop if I could.

The best falafel I’ve had outside the Middle East.

Amazing falafel made to order 👌 Best place to eat in Durham!

Cannot recommend this place enough. Great value for money, amazing food, incredible service, the guys there are so nice. I had the falafel wrap meal and the portion size is so generous!

Delicious fresh made falafel and lovely fresh squeezed juices. I couldn't recommend more.

Delicious falafel salad. Great value, freshly made to order.

Amazing food, the vine leaves were absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend. The service was brilliant, so friendly and welcoming

Delicious fresh falafel and juice made in front of us. The owner was so friendly, will definitely be returning

Cannot recommend this place enough. Most delicious falafel wraps I've ever had, and the owners are so friendly and generous. Nothing compares to Lazeez!

Been going here for quite a while. Me and my friends go and the 5 star rating does not do the place justice. Not only is the food an 11 out of ten, but the service is even better. If your popping to Durham for a snack, I would absolutely recommend the place.

Every day, after school, I would go to Lazeez. The food they cook is delicious, fragrant and tastes good, and it's not expensive. I'm very satisfied with them.

Such an amazing place!!! The falafel wrap is so yum and such good value for money, and the man that runs it is so nice! Would definitely recommend!!!!

Wonderful food.. I got the falafel wrap & it is just so so delicious every single time. Lazeez never fails to deliver, & never fails to make me full - such great value for money :) The service was absolutely amazing I love the owners so much, they are such kind, generous & genuine people with a talent for cooking! One must always support a local business that will love you back ☺️ Always lovely to chat with the owners too ~ I think I’ll have the vine leaves or a wrap with hummus next time :) looking forward to it!

Genuinely really really good. A friend recommended it and I was not disappointed :) I had a falafel wrap and mango juice for £8.95. Great options if you are vegetarian/don't like spicy food, too. Both servers were very friendly and accommodating.

I only come to Durham to eat his falafel 10/10

Stumbled upon this place with my fiancé last year after looking for some lunch. Now every time we visit Durham we drop in for a bite. The service is always warm and welcoming with a friendly chat while you wait. Falafel wraps are great washed down with some tasty juices that are also super healthy

Very inviting place. Food was absolutely amazing and so fresh. Had the fresh apple juice and halloumi wrap was delicious. Such a bargain for how much you pay, would definitely recommend 😊

Delicious falafel and salad bar with the falafel cooked fresh in front of you. Pick from salad items, pickles, veg, spicy potatoes and choice of hummus and sauces. I’d recommend getting a meal deal with a fresh juice, Ali’s special juice is delicious. Entirely veggie and loads of vegan options including baclava. Wraps are a decent size and jam packed. I would highly recommend.

THEE best falafel you will ever have. Everything is so fresh, and staff so so friendly and happy. But the food is actually amazing, you can tell that it’s made from the heart and fresh every day. Couldn’t recommended this place enough, and it’s a local business which is great to see thrive in Durham! Everything made to order and portions are huge & absolutely delicious!

The authentic and flavorful dishes, made with fresh ingredients, are sure to delight.

Mr Falafel treats me and my daddy very well he provides us with very good falafel

Closed even though it says open online

As an arabic person, In my whole time in the UK I've never tasted a better flafel wrap than this one. Big thanks to the mister Ali who gave us a worm welcome and a very taste flafel.

Beautiful food, absolutely delicious. The man is an artist! Highly recommended, just lovely! 😀

I love this place! The guys who run it are so friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. The felafels are cooked to order, and the wraps are huge. The freshly squeezed juices are also fantastic. Highly recommended.

Amazing wrap. Very different flavours and taste in the wrap. Friendly service!

Amazing fresh falafel wrap! Me and my partner shared a wrap (as we were going straight to a meal but we could resist) and they were beautiful! We chose each filling and watched the falafel cook fresh. Lovely couple running the place - really friendly. Can’t wait to come back and have a portion each!!!

Excellent food, excellent service and some lovely people behind the bar. Five stars doesn't do them justice.

I’ve come here a few times now, and it never disappoints. Quality is the same from the shop and on Deliveroo which is amazing! Food is so fresh and very tasty! Staff are so friendly x

best falafel i have ever eaten and the staff are SO lovely, would 100% visit again

natural juice and the wraps are amazing plus the atmosphere is great and the workers are lovely

My colleague first introduced me to Lazeez, and I have been going back ever since! The food if tasty, flavoursome, fresh and well prepared! Customer service is 5* all day long. Thank you and I’ll see you soon 😊

The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating, the food is delicious, fantastic salad boxes! The only downside is there is no real space to sit inside. I wish the owners moved to a space with seating area as they deserve much more custom than they get! Super recommended!

Great food Great service every day eating there. Thank you Ali

Absolutely delicious falafel in massive portions, loads of different fillings and salads. Staff super friendly.

Even ignoring how cheap it is this would be like the third or fourth best restaurant in Durham. Adjusted for price it’s #1 easily

Beautiful freshly-made wraps and friendly service. Delicious!!

Very delicious food , I love it

Walking back to our car, we spotted some free tasty treats on the table outside this relatively new takeaway. Falafel and dips (chilli or garlic). We tucked in to one tasty chunk each and this prompted us to look inside for more. The owner made us feel really special and helped us choose from the wide range of new and interesting accompaniments for our own Falafel Lunch box. A couple of freshly squeezed orange juices made for an excellent and different lunch (it was a Greggs sandwich the day before) which we munched along the road at the National Trust's Crook Hall Gardens a short distance away.

Absolutely delicious freshly prepared food, Massive portions. Highly recommended. Shame they don't have much seating but we take food home to eat so no worries.

موقع مميز في السنتر . الموظف ودود ، و ساندوتش الفلافل لذيذ . انصح به 10/10

Absolutely delicious food. You get so much for the price without any compromise on quality. The guys who run it are so friendly & respectful. Sisters & I eat here regularly and the quality in consistently excellent.

Great price, as much as you can fill wrap!

Absolutely delicious falafel wrap! ...also vegan! And the most friendly staff! 💚💚

First time trying falafel and it’s amazing, plus the guy behind the counter was great to talk to while waiting. Ain’t just bringing my girl here I’m gunna bring everyone

We had a large party that included children and the owner and other worker made sure every order was perfect. They were very accommodating for our need for extra seating. The food was fresh and tasty. Delicious falafel!!! Everyone was so friendly and upbeat. My only regret is that I live across the ocean and won’t be back for more of this delicious fare soon. Eat here!

Food was great, staff were friendly, couldn't be more helpful, cost very reasonable for the amount we had ,a great experience xxxx

It was a wonderful experience, the taste was delicious, and the staff were cheerful and friendly

Great service and an ambient atmosphere. The quality of the food was amazing

I never leave bad reviews but theres a first time for everything A few weeks ago me and my girlfriend were walking by. We were offered falafel passing by. We thought, 'oh what could go wrong?' ...turns out a lot. It tasted average at best at first but left an awful aftertaste. The worst part was yet to come. My girlfriend felt sick after eating it and all 9f that day she felt sick, only feeling better the next day. I cannot believe she got food poisoning from one piece of falafel. The last part about the food is that it left a lingering bad smell on my breathe for over a week. I could NOT get the smell out no matter how many times I brushed my teeth, however many mints I had, there was no getting it out. The only redeemable thing about the place was one of the members of staff there. He offered my girlfriend a drink of pepsi and genuinely cared about what happened. Props to him but I WOULD NOT go there. Dude needs to find another place to work. If you can do that from something as small as falafel god forbid what would happen if we ordered food from there...

Food is delicious with great prices. Amazing value plus service is fast and friendly. Absolutely fantastic!

Really nice wraps. Super friendly service and great value for money. Looking forward to my next one

I’m from Israel and funny enough, this was the best falafel I ever had. Amazing to have such good falafel in Europe :)

Food is amazing! Staff are so friendly and welcoming, would recommend 100%

10 stars if i could give it such amazing food definitely be going back

Really generous people, big delicious portions! reasonable prices! and freshly made juice 😊

Staff was very friendly and food was tasty with great portion. I could choose what I want to put on in warp. I highly recommend falafels with garlic sauce and spicy hummus to try! I will definitely come back !

Really delicious food, and big portions. Rash, the owner, met us at the door and offered us a free sample. The falafel wrap was tasty (not dry like some others can be) fresh, and made with any number of differing ingredients — which I was again offered samples of before deciding. The juice was fresh and delicious. Mine must have had two or three whole mangoes in it; making the ‘wrap and juice’ meal deal very good value. We’ll return again soon.

We wandered past and were given a free sample, which was so tasty we went in to get lunch. Two falafel meals with a side of potatoes easily fed four of us, and were sat outside in the sun sharing. They were very generous with the different salads and veg, especially when we said we hadn’t tasted them before. Definitely recommend!

food was amazing, juice made fresh, staff were friendly and welcoming, will definitely be visiting again

Called in after tasting a sample of falafel outside. Bought a falafel snack box …omg absolutely delicious and so much food!!! Guys in there were amazing too, so friendly and polite. I have yet to eat my dessert but so full after my main. Will definitely be back!!! Oh and the falafels were cooked fresh as I ordered… 5 stars all round. Well done guys best I’ve tasted in a long while.

Amazing falafel - great service!

Very kind and human service. The food is delicious too.

Unreal Falafel! Full disclosure: I was given a taster on my way to a dinner reservation. I didn’t say when I took the sample, and I didn’t tell my partner I would have cancelled the meal and simply ate an unreasonable portion of falafel. I digress, very friendly staff, well presented, delicious.

The best falafel wraps I’ve ever tasted in my life. Absolutely fantastic food and lovely service. Between the two of us had a falafel wrap and a halloumi and falafel wrap, and got some gorgeous baklava for later - the best, most authentic falafel in Durham hands down. Would highly recommending going here. X

Wat een leuk tentje is dit! Onwijs aardige mensen, heerlijke verse falafel, en superveel eten voor weinig geld. Echt een aanrader! Wij betaalden 13 pond voor cola, chips, falafel wrap (echt een grote!) en een falafel maaltijdbox. He-le-maal top! En de eigenaar gaf een zwerver gratis eten, waar zie je dat?!

Delicious and filling. Good falafel and a wide variety of salad vegetables. Friendly, helpful staff. Tasty fresh juice. Recommended.

Amazing flavours in a wide variety of food in my halloumi veg/ salad bowl today which was served with excellent hospitality. I enjoyed every mouthful. Excellent value re portion also. Sauces were delicious. Everything was presented well in mainly environmentally-responsible packaging. I chose "The Cleanser" to drink which was so refreshing. Delicious, completely fresh juiced fruit/veg made right in front of me! I highly recommend a visit here. Great to see so much choice for plant-based diets. I shall certainly return here for another meal next time I visit Durham! I wish Lazeez every success which is well-deserved.

Best falafel pitta I've had in years (wraps as well), top quality, good prices, friendly helpful service. Chili sauce, tahini garlic sauce👌. Brilliant discovery. Many thanks, John

Great for a quick bite so delicious falafel I tried them with some aubergine, cauliflower and spicy potato and both garlic and hot sauce were amazing. The place is very clean and service was top they are so generous!

Stopped in on the day of the Durham Miner’s Gala and was greeted warmly by the owner, who is friendly and very customer-focused. Had a lovely chat with him and realised he used to live in our village. It was a nice to build that connection with him and he’s clearly invested in connecting to the community and building relationships with his customers. This is a nice touch, something I haven’t found often in the U.K., but which made me feel like I was back in the U.S. I must mention the food though as well! The portions were incredibly generous for the price, and all of it was delicious. The falafel was the best I have ever had. It is nice to be able to grab something on the go or for a quick lunch that actually has vegetables and some nutritional value to it. Will definitely be back soon!

Just wow! Fancied a salad to go and I was not disappointed. I got the falafel box. Absolutely gorgeous, soooo much flavour and a really generous portion. Incredibly well priced too. To top it off the staff are really welcoming and polite. Definitely worth a try!!

The food is amazing and the guys who run it are so friendly. Moved unis to London but contemplating a day trip to Durham to revisit them 😪

Best food I've had in ages! Ordered the falafels and a bit of everything from the salad bar and there wasn't a single thing I could fault. Super friendly server and great value for money. Will definitely be coming back again

Gluten free-Loads of gluten free and Really good! And the baklava (also gf) is magic!

Amazing food at great prices and wonderful service, the gentlemen were so helpful and pleasant. Added bonus of being offering GF and DF food so will be my new favourite place to go to.

Some of the best falafel in the North East, only topped by the fella's incredible service.

Lots of vegan options, very good friendly service, delicious food!

Delicious falafel, all vegetarian, lots of sides to choose from, big portions, friendly staff

Wonderful falafel bowls- would definitely recommend this place

Had a wrap here while visiting Durham for an afternoon, and WOW! Amazing food. The proprietor is very friendly and passionate about his product, and generous with his portions. He was happy to talk through some of the unique salad options and let you try them. Would definitely recommend and wish him great success!

Delicious, filling, large portions and incredibly fresh! The staff are welcoming and charming giving a wonderful atmosphere. The falafel is cooked to order and perfect! There are a wide variety of fillings to add (the spicy humus is a must! Trust me); and freshly squeezed juices to top off an unexpected stop that I will definitely be visiting again

Amazing place. Very friendly and falafel tasted great, generous portions easily enough for 2 meals

The best falafel wrap you can find in Durham with the best customer service. Highly recommend if you’re a student or just passing by.

Genuinely the beat Lebanese I've ever had in Durham. Puts Lebaneat to shame. Wrap was packed with healthy salad, fresh bread, dips were amazing and delivery driver was fantastic. You've just got yourself a new regular.

Great service and friendly staff. Had a falafel wrap and fresh juice, both were delicious! Very generous portions and great value🌯🧃

Amazing food, excellent service, and dog friendly! Order dolma, it's absolutely delicious!

The best Falafel I’ve had in years. Made fresh in front of you, with incredible sides. Durham has needed this for so long! 10/10

I ate a lot of hummus in my life, but Lazeez' hummus was the best so far. These guys know their craft. Excellent Falafel too.

Extraordinarily delicious falafel, couldn't be better! And I really enjoyed the falafel box meal that also included your choice of many different veggies and condiments. Such friendly service as well, and a good value. Highly recommend!

This is a great place very friendly unreal falafels full of flavour also stuffed vine leaves lovely refreshing taste such a good addition to durham definitely will be back

Only proper falafel in Durham, everything fresh, lovely staff - here at least once a week

Always have delicious food with large servings and fresh very good quality ingredients. I love it here and the halloumis are so good

Very good service, choice of food and fillings and very friendly.Would definitely recommend to all.

The halloumi wrap I bought was easily two meals worth of food, so well worth the price. Lots of fresh and delicious options for salad, veggies and sauces, and friendly service. I was given a free falafel today and it was very tasty. A great addition to Durham!

Fantastic food and quick service Friendly server who made a delicious halloumi wrap and falafel

Amazing food, I can’t go as much as I would like to as the portions are so huge. best falafel I’ve had.

* Easy accessible, walk, drive, bus and train. * Friendly and welcoming atmosphere * Beautiful food * Impeccable hospitality *Clean surface areas *Fresh food * Reasonable prices * Fab opening and closing times for the customers So this week I walked past Lazeez Falafel Salad Bar to see it was finally open. I'd been looking forward to the opening of this new arrival to Durham. As I looked in the window at the menu Rash offered a free sample of Falafel. Now I eat Falafel every week so trying this was trying nothing new, but during our long conversation together I asked what vine leaves were and Rash was very happy to tell me about how and where they grow. Intrigued, Rash offered me one for free! This was a lovely gesture to which I was very grateful. We chatted some more, untill I finally left, but not for long! I got around the corner and turned back into the shop. Rash had been so welcoming, friendly, kind and well-mannered. His hospitality was impeccable. I really enjoyed the friendly chat so thought I'd grab myself some tea instead of cooking at home. I ordered a Falafel wrap with halloumi,and salad. Rash's colleague started to cook the Falafel and halloumi, once cooked made up my wrap. What caught my eye was the attention he put into making this wrap! The respect he had for the food, he didn't just chuck the food in the wrap like most places do. He spent time and care into making it. Asked me what I wanted in it as he went along. Taking care as he did. Almost like he was blessing the food as he went. The flatbread itself looked warm, soft and fluffy. Anyway, he wrapped it in tinfoil and paper, not a polystyrene carton in site, thankfully! I wished them good luck, told them I'd soon be back again and went home. Tbh I could've stayed longer. The atmosphere in here is calm, and calming. I opened my beautifully made wrap and tucked in. And oh my it was delicious. Fresh, tasty, full of flavour and filling. For 7.00 it was amazing. It may seem expensive but for what you receive in food quality and customer service its worth every penny. I really pray this lil place stays open and isn't crippled by Durhams high rental prices. Oh and another thing, he's open till club and pub closing times, just what some of us need after a night out, and who doesn't want a greasy kebab and the trots the next day! This is the place to be. Congratulations Rash and your colleague, may you have many happy years in Durham. I shall pop in sometime next week, Monday no doubt. See you soon and keep doing what your doing x

falafel actually tasted so good, probably the best I’ve had before Good selection of extras and sauce
