Lazeez Indian Restaurant in Allerdale

This restaurant is now called schuhag the food is very very tasty the place is clean and well cared for and friendly staff

Having been to the lazeez from when it opened, I must comment on the friendly service, clean dining area, and excellent food.

I ordered a really tasty vegetable Bhuna at late notice and it was very good quality. The staff were very accommodating to my needs.

We had a pleasant meal. The menu is diverse. We ordered many items. Tasty food. I highly recommend fish tikka, Ferni, foil chicken and butter chicken. Good service.

Much improved since my previous visit many years ago, and I understand it is under new ownership. The takeaway food was really nice, however the staff were really unfriendly and unengaging - barely even a thanks when I left. I'll be back, but they really need to work on their customer service skills!

Just recently moved to wigton so thought we would give it a try Food was very hot and fully if flavour we enjoyed it very much thanks will be defo coming back

The food and staff were excellent they told us that they had only recently taken over. Nice spicy food good varied menu. I hope they do well they deserve to.

We ordered a take away while on hols and was very good, food was tasty and went down a treat. Would recommend

My husband and myself just had a lovely meal there tonight . Would recomend it to others . Great selection of dishes available . Staff very helpful and friendly

Fuimos como a un miembro de su familia había volado desde Australia, así que fue una ocasión muy especial y perfecto para una familia ponerse! No puedo palabra cómo el servicio es excepcional, no podía hacer lo suficiente para ayudarnos, tomó nuestros abrigos, jugó con algunos niños muy inquietos y w nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos, la comida era excelente, ya que estamos los tamaños de porción hasta el punto que literalmente me sentí como si reventar. Todo era de lejos de cinco estrellas no recomiendo ningún otro sitio

Mucho y bien cocida de pollo en tres de los platos. El tikka masala siempre parece perderse en la cantidad. La familia es siempre lugar naan de ajo, mente.

Awful meal didnt eat it asked for plain egg fried rice with no corriander came complete with i cant stand the stuff curry was watery and too sweet already getting intergestion after 2 small bites nan bread thick and doughy no more for me thanks

Yo vivo en Cockermouth, a unos 16 km de distancia, y nunca he tenido llamada a comer por la noche en Wigton, pero ayer, con un visitante, lo hicimos, y nos alegramos.

Ate here last night. It was average for an Indian takeaway. Naan breads were very flat. Wouldn't be back in a rush.

Went in for a meal for my friends birthday. Granted there had been a few in but everyone left had already eaten. We ordered our starter and main course, and waited. Waited some more and then waited. The service was terrible. Food which is usually good, was far from the usual standard. Varied across the dishes in terms of temperature and taste. Naan breads were pale and greasy. Rice flat and congealed. Girl behind bar spent most of her time leaning over the counter. No atmosphere st all. Waited not interested. Place looked like it could do with a good clean. This USED to be the best Indian in the local area. Now? AVOID!!!!

My husband and I have been going to Lazeez for a number of years on and off. The food is really, really good. It's just a shame that very often (as per some previous reviews) the staff are very bad! It's true that the restaurant has very little atmosphere, but it's quite smart. We have encountered one or two nice staff but it is hit or miss, I really wish they could get some continuity with the staff as it lets them down badly. Having said that we still go back as the food is really good!

First off the food was excellent - four of us with a variety of starters and mains, vegetarian and non-vegetarian optionsNO alcohol licence, despite what it says on the window... but Spa is just across the rosd and you can bring your ownDecor is spartan... not a lot of atmospereWe would have put up with that because of the good, reasonably priced food - but the service was idiosyncratic to say the least. No welcome, had to get our own menus, generally disinterested attitude. We tried to engage with the waiter... perhaps he was having a bad day... but he was having none of it. A shame.

We've been several times and booked for an anniversary meal. Arrived to find no table ready. Table laid then got moved again. Finally order taken and food arrived. Good as expected. Tried to order dessert, several members of staff (young and enthusiastic) involved. Majority of desserts listed not available. Very convoluted discussions! Coconut Ice cream when it arrived was crystalline in parts! Very disappointing. Never did get an answer whether the liqueur coffee listed was available. A great shame that the starter and main course food was let down by the service and ordering. Yes we'll probably go again, but with slight apprehension!

We don't often have curries as I tend to make my own however when we do we normally use the Lazeez. However the last two meals we have had have been dreadful. There isn't any particular element that is wrong it is just all wrong, colour flavour greasy and with an odd taste. We both ended up binning most of the last meal swearing never to go back.It's s real shame as before the last change of ownership it's was a very good takeaway buy low it's really hit the bottom of the ladder and I think many of the recent posts echo this. Back to making my own again I think we won't be back which is a shame as we like to support local businesses rather than travel and go further afield.

We haven't had a meal in the restaurant, but take away food is fantastic, a few times I have asked for paneer &cheese but would prefer Cheddar so if you don't mention its hit and miss, but all food especially family nann is out of this world, lovely Indian food

Good food. Shame we were the only diners. Not cheap when you start adding up the different dishes. Could have done with a bit more heating.

Looking forward to going back to this restaurant one of the best curries I've ever had, and trust me I've had a few in my time

I have eaten at Lazeez for several years and always found it one of the better indian restaurants in the area, until tonight when I was basically treated as terrible inconvenience by one of their newer members of staff. When i want a couple of Naan breads, as I have in the past I just pop my head round the door, as for them and then pop back ten minutes later or wait until they are ready and then pay for them and leave. When I send my son around to pick up a couple I do not expect the the jobsworth little pipsqueak serving to tell him that he has to go home and place a telephone order and then come back to collect them. What level of stupid is this? I would recommend going anywhere other than Lazeez now if you wish to be treated as a customer and not as an inconvenience to someone more intent on updating their facebook instead of working

Well,don't bother going in to place a take away order as you will be told to go home and phone it in....even if you only want two naan breads.!!!!.

Me & my husband stopped in for a quiet meal & enjoyed every second. The staff are second to none & a real credit to this restaurant. Ali helped us pick a couple of curries & even packed it up when we couldn't finish it! Great knowledge of the food served. Will certainly stop in again when we are in the area!

Booked a table at lazeez with family, have been to this restaurant many times before and has been superb!! However not the story last night... The four of us arrived on time at 7pm, seated at our table and looked at the menu, we sat invisably for a very long time without even been offered a drink, we even considered ringing up for a takeaway and asking them to send it too the table by the window! At 7.45 the waiter finally came over to take our orders and we asked if we could possible have a drink and a bottle opener as u are able to take in your own alcoholic beverages, again we seamed to wait a long time, in true wigton spirit fellow diners offered us use of their bottle openers and spare glasses! Eventually the waiter brought over some drinks which kept the dehydration at bay while we had the never ending wait for some food, popadoms arrived and we savoured every bite for the long wait ahead.. We even contemplated hovering around other tables to catch any crumbs of their left overs to keep us going. When our food eventually arrived the order was wrong, we ordered 2 chicken kormas and 2 chicken merkhanis, what arrived i cant even describe, the only thing we could describe them as were possible the left overs we were considering eating earlier mixed in a bright orange sauce with chedder cheese on too.. Strange looking korma! We said to the waiters there must be a mistake they rudely had a conversation with each other in indian then told us this is what we had ordered, we told them again what we had ordered and they insisted this horrible looking dish was a korma, nervously we tasted the sauce and was inedible.. No resemblance to a korma, at this point from advice from fellow diners we stood up and left wishing we had taking the family naan with us which was the only thing that looked edible, a horrible expirience ending up in a last minute drink in the nearest pub to get other it on an empty stomach and a kebab at the end of the night!

We were recommend this restraint by friends who go every week, the choice of food was good and the staff very friendly. Will definitely go back.

I had walked past this indian restaurant many times but never thought about going there for a meal until friends asked us to join them. We took our own drinks with us which was a plus factor as they do not hold a licence. The menu was quite different to other restaurants with lots of dishes I had never heard of. The poppadums and pickles were fresh and the mixed tikka starter was superb and a huge portion. Service was timed just right and the staff were chatty and freindly. Had a great discussion on cricket with our waiter! Its not the most glitzy joint by any means but who cares with food like that.

Always go here for a takeaway but the restaurant has recently been decorated and would be happy to eat in. Great portions, friendly staff, definite recommend the mixed kebab starter

Fast service and food was spot on a nice jalfrezi cooked nicely OK the chicken was a tadge dry but all in all nice, chicken tikka starter lovely and the wife's korma again nice 15 mins away from monkhouse hill cottages :-)

not had a bad take away from here and i often try different things. the naan bread is the best naan i have ever had,

Friendly staff and welcome. Good hot tasty food, quickly served. We go here several times a year with friends and family and are never disappointed.

Whenever, I am in Wigton visiting family we always go out for a meal and more often than not we choose Lazeeze, and are never disappointed. This evening the food was again excellent - I really enjoyed my Special Biriani. We took a decent bottle of wine and had a thoroughly good evening. Service friendly and quick, as usual. Sam was our waiter and as ever was welcoming.

Variable. From really really good Bangladesh/Indian food to bright red, greasy and tasteless(well mainly coconut). Best get a take away as the dinners have a stream of people passing as they collect their orders.

We went for a meal tonight. We were served by Sam who was very polite and attentive. The meal was very good. The only thing that spoilt our night out were the people on the next table it was only 7.30 n they were drunk n talking very loud about being arrested by the police the night before. Then their friends came in and helped them eat their leftovers.

Used to quite like this place, for eating in and take away - particularly when it was the previous "Ol Calcutta". However quality and portion sizes have reduced over the years, whilst the prices have increased. Last time I found a fragment of wire in my take away - needless to say, I haven't been back since. Shame as it's local.

We went for a family meal for a birthday last night. We are so local that we have frequent takeaways and occaisional meals in. I have never been made to feel so uncomfortable by the service. We were shown to a table and our order taken quickly..no smile just hurried. Our daughter has autism and the reason we go there is because she spins on one of the chairs used for takeout customers, it's her way of coping with noise, people, smells. Last night she was removed 3 times from the chair. She was stared at in such a disapproving way by a customer on next table so frequently that I just wanted the ground to open up. Meals delivered again hurriedly, I was too stressed to eat much. Food quality isn't what it was. After yet another visit outside with my daughter...we came back in and although they gave her a free ice cream, which she gratefully ate, we paid the bill and left. Sorry Lazeez, you are so local, we have had many nice meals there, but you are not child friendly anymore and your food quality has gone downhill. We will be using Mango tree from now on.

I have had several takeaways from Lazeez & while the quality is not as good as others it is quite acceptable,sevice was good & customers in the restaurant all seemed to be enjoying their food.I thought the food a little pricey for the portions received.

We got a takeaway from here on Saturday night and won't be doing so again. My mixed grill was chewy and tepid, the nan breads were stodgy and unappetising and the accompanying vindaloo sauce I got with my meal was 50% oil, rendering it inedible. Awful.

We never eat in here, it's simply to miserable for words.This curry house is the ONLY one in town, sort yourselves out you should be brilliant.oh and for the love of all that is holy charge me the same price every time I order the same dish!

I have had several meals at lazeez and every time it has been excellent, the food is delicious and the service is great.

we were a party of 20 and the ordering and service was first class-friendly and efficient-thanks so much guys-food was plentiful and lovely!

I first went to Lazeez, a few years back when I moved to Wigton. At the time the food was delicious, the service excellent and the prices reasonable. Fast forward to yesterday...The restaurant has been in the hands of another owner for a while now, so we decided to give it a go, and ordered a takeaway. We were duly told it would be 20 minutes. 25 minutes later i wandered in and was asked to wait for 5 minutes - no biggie just the grim prospect of sitting in a tired, atmosphere less room listening to the waiter trying to force another naan bread on to a table of customers. Starters - veg pakora. To be honest, despite being stone cold they were quite tasty. The selection of salads that went with the popadoms were good. However when asked if we wanted popadoms, we said yes and despite the order clearly being for 2 people we were then given 5 at a cost of 50p each - naughty! Mains consisted of a coconut rice and pasanda for the wife. She appeared to quite enjoy this, however it was incredibly sweet and that then became overriding taste. I had a Chicken tikka Korai and pilau rice. The rice, well it's rice! The chicken Korai had, and no word of a lie, an entire onion simply cut in to quarters, and a whole red pepper cut in to halves. Curry supposed to be a mixture and fusion on spices that is designed to fire the synapses and take you on a taste journey across India and this is where I genuinely feel let down. It tasted of nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. There was a vague aroma of tikka but then I think that may have been my brain trying to remind me of what it should have tasted like. In panic, I grabbed the cauliflower bhaji desperate to stimulate my taste buds in some way, but once again nothing. For the first time in my 35 years, I had to add salt to a curry. At nearly £30 for two, I feel robbed, cheated and let down. Save your money and go to CO-OP or if you are unfortunate enough to be going for a meal take some salt!!Never ever again will I darken their door, Mango Tree for me...

Enjoyed my meal a lot , you could taste the freshness of the ingredients ,the staff are very welcoming ,pleasant and helpful.Will most certainly be using this restaurant again.Always receive exactly what we order with nothing missing and it's served in good time !

The quality of the food is really good but what we found really attractive was stepping into an authentic indian atmosphere with indian waiters, indian music etc.

I think this is one of the best Indian resteraunts in the area, better than most in nearby Carlisle for sure, takeaway or sit in normally hits the spot, theres an excellent selection of mains and sides, the family naan is amazing, if sitting in it comes on a bit metal hook which is fun for the kids and is e ough to feed a family of 4 easily. The currys are tasty and theynwill cook them to your desired heat levels which adds even more variety. The staff are very friendly, and even when its busy they serve with a smile and in good time. Whats alsogreat is they don't serve alcohol but allow you to brinh your own in, but provide openers, glasses and even ice, makes it a very good value night out. Dishes to try are the lazeez naga chilli, the balti exotica and the murghi massla. Must say this place is great and can be amongstbthe best, but every so often you do get a bad one, some experiences I wont even mention, but thats rare and theyndo their best to make up for it so, well worth a look if you like curry and happen to be in town.

Never been before so gave it a go , really nice vindaloo didn't dissappoint numb lips, the naan was like an elephants ear never seen one so big,works well having no bar as take ur own drink in,

Great night.Friendly helpfully staff, brilliant food, just a shame there is no bar, but as you can take your own that works too.We'll done

The service attention to detail price & food at this place are by far the best around. As soon as you come through the door you are greeted with a welcoming smile. The staff go above & beyond to make you feel welcome without being intrusive. They explain anything you may be unsure about on the menu & all recommendations that they've given me & fellow diners have been brilliant. It's definitely one of the best Indians around. My friend even travels from Cockermouth to eat here

Booked a table for a Saturday evening for 7.30 When we arrived it was very busy with two large parties but no matter we were greeted immediately. We were told they did not have an alcohol licence, but we could buy from a local shop and bring it in.Considering how busy it was the service was very good and we both enjoyed the food. I especially enjoyed the peshwari naan.The prices were also reasonable.

What a complete and utter joke! The service in lazeez was extremely poor, it was far from the warm, friendly, welcoming establishment it has been in the past!! We were very shocked and saddened by the way we were greated, the way our order was taken, and the way in which we were spoken too. There was not a smile or manner in sight, we were even sworn at.But most of all, the way in which our custom was not valued! Its fair to say custom has been lost.

Excellent service, very busy Saturday night....only had to wait a few minutes for a table....service and food brilliant. Very delicious.

I don't usually write reviews, but this was honestly the worst indian i have ever had. I opted for a balti exotica which was watery, and what better to compliment a watery dish than the famous 'el paso' tortillas. Smelling packet fresh it was thinner than air, but the kind of food where you lose calories as you eat. Hoping it was just my meal that wasnt up to scratch, I turned my attentions to my vegan friend who muttered the words "There is a baked potato in my curry" as well as "They've poured tin carrots in my meal". I proceeded to ring up the restaurant to ask why they had given me tortillas, but they denied it and asked which indian restaurants I had eaten at before. So, all in all it was a really bad Indian but quite possibly the best mexican restaurant ever.

Love coming here. The food is great and the prices are great! Staff are warm and friendly and are happy to provide drinks glasses if you choose to bring your own alcohol rather than purchase soft drinks with your meal. I recommend the Saag Masala and the family naan! Thank you Lazeez as each time we visit we enjoy!

Four of us went for an evening meal and we all really enjoyed it. The restaurant was full, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a longer than usual wait for main course but this was expected given how busy it was. You can take your own drink which makes the bill a bit cheaper at the end of the night. Would highly recommend giving it a try.

Visit here regular this is the best food by far in Cumbria fantastic service amazing food so friendly recommend you won't be dissapointed thanks abz and co for another great meal

We stayed in Wigton for a week and got a takeaway from here one evening. Food was hot, fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more :)

8 of us went for our Christmas meal & I've gotta say it was the best night out we've had for xmas.Atmosphere was fantastic, food was delicious & the service was excellent. Best indian I've ever had

Myself and 9 friends booked a meal on fri 6th sept. we were all happy with the food and the staff. We all had some thing different but all as tasty.What a great night, a cake and flaming Sambuca what more could we ask for. We are coming back on the 27th (so actions speak louder than words.) it must be good if we are all happy to return. There is no bar however you can take in your own alcohol.

Just had a lovely family meal. Really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was relaxed and the waiters attentive and friendly in a professional way. We keep coming back as the food is good and good value.

Home from another lovely evening at this restaurant. The food as always was realy good, beautifully presented and served in a relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this small eating house to anyone who enjoys indian food.The menu is extensive and caters for all whether you like mild or spicy food.Drinks are available or you can take your own bottle of wine if you wish.A little gem in the market town of wigton.

Lovely place to go for an Indian meal, all the usual suspects on the menu but also a few different ones. Lovely surroundings and the staff are very polite and efficient.Great food at not a bad price, also does takeaways which are equally as tasty.

I visited this restaurant for my birthday,we were on holiday in Silloth and we just took a chance.The meal was lovely, very friendly and clean, bring your own booze, which was great, Many Thanks.

Living quite close to the town of wigton, Lazeez is the place for our bi monthly Indian take away.Food is generally good and the service is friendly.

we have had many meals here over the years and always found the food very good.For our own convenience from our house. the staff always very friendly and willing to please. they now offer BRing your own wine as you dine so you can save on that if you plan ahead. the Indian cuisine of a good standard.

We have been here on several recent occasions and always have a great meal out at a reasonable price. Food is very good and service is friendly and professional. You need to take your own wine though. Well worth a visit.

We had a set meal for two and really enjoyed our meal. Waiters were extremely helpful and we were able to change curries on the set menu. Every thing was delicious and great value for money!Staff were warm and friendly - a real asset to the town.

This Indian restaurant has the benefit of friendly staff and an amazing range of curries on the menu. We have taken elderly neighbours ( who don't like spicy food!) and friends who regularly go out to Indian restaurants in large cities. Both have been delighted with the meal and service.Well worth a visit

This is an acceptable restaurant, nothing amazing but the foods hot doesn't tasteaBad and its a clean place. The staff are very friendly and prices weren't bad.and its 100 times better than whet was there before.

We tried this restaurant after reading Tripadvisor reviews and had a meal delivered - it arrived within a reasonable time and the driver was exceptionally friendly. The food itself was really tasty and a welcome change from the bland/greasy Indian meals we've had previously from local takeaways. The menu was extensive and it was really nice to see a different more varied vegetarian selection. We'll definitely be using this delivery service again and will quite possibly be trying the restaurant too.

Have been here a few times with my girlfriend ... Staff and overall service are very good indeed , Restaurant is nicely laid out and the menu fairly extensive I have had a passion for hot curries lately and decided to go for their Vindaloo , Perfectly palatable but I wasnt blown away , have had tastier elsewhere This said I would still recommend

i have made frequent visits to this restaurant with my boyfriend and have only had one disappointing meal, maybe i made the wrong choice. Last Saturday i chose a prawn pathia with pilau rice and it was delicious! the poppadoms were fresh and served the ample portions of chutney and yoghurt. Staff are friendly and service is very good...we will be continuing to visit !

I went for a takeaway last night with my girlfriend. We got a chicken dansak, a chicken jal frezi, and two lots of rice. Girlfriend absolutely loved hers. Mine was also lovely but lacked a little bit of punch flavour-wise that I'm used to in my local curry houses at home in Manchester. Definitely be back, tho'.

Lazeez's staff are all very friendly and attentive. The best thing about is though is the food. I have had lots of Indian meals in different parts of the country but this topped them all.
