Lazeez Shawarma (Ajax)
The Lazeez Shawarma Ajax story starts with an obsession with exquisite taste. Each of our founders has their own story, background, and personality, but they share a passion for authentic Middle Eastern food.
Together, they envisioned sharing their love of the cuisine with the community they cherished. In 2013, the first “Lazeez” was established in Mississauga, focusing on taste and quality.
Spiced to a tee, seasoned correctly, and topped with our original sauces, our food hits the taste buds. With its delicious Middle Eastern flavors, Lazeez has since become a go-to place for all those who love the flavors of the Middle East, which is just about everyone.
The Arabic word shawarma refers to a rotating rotisserie, which is an Arabization of the Turkish word shawarma. Originally from the Ottoman Empire, shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish which is rich in protein. It is often flavored with spices such as cumin and coriander, both of which contain antioxidants.
Traditionally, shawarma consists of lamb, mutton, or chicken cut into thin strips, stacked in cone-like shapes. It is then roasted on a rotisserie. It may also be made with turkey, beef, or pork.
A continuous rotation creates thin slices on the cooked surface. Middle Eastern countries love shawarma, such as Egypt, Iraq, and Levant, and Saudi Arabia is no exception.
Aside from our extensive menu, we also provide catering services. Bring the flavors of Lazeez to your next party or meeting. The many vegetarian dishes at Lazeez Shawarma Ajax, along with our famous shawarma and rice and lentils, will satisfy even the most discerning palates.
