Laziza Hookah Lounge & Restaurant

I came after dinner with a few Yelpers to sit and have drinks.

I originally wanted the Baklava-tini but then our server said they didn't have martini glasses and it would be a wait so I got a mojito ($10) instead. It was alright, but a bit heavy on the citrus element. Our server was friendly though.

The table shared guava mango hookah ($15). Even though I lost my taste for hookah smoking a long time ago, I knew this wasn't premium tobacco and when I saw them lift up to replace to coals that there was quite syrupy stuff in there so it's probably a type of mu'assel, possibly even not tobacco based but herbal based but I would have to open the foil to really tell. It had a throat feel that I think I've grown to not find enjoyable. However, I don't deny the flavor tasted good.

We went during Raggae night and there was a live band playing. It wasn't too loud even though we were right in front of the band. Lots of people were having fun and dancing so the vibe in there was good.

I wouldn't say I would come to seek this place out, but if I'm around the other side of town and my friends want to smoke, I don't mind accompanying them.

Happy Hour goes from 5pm-8pm. Half off appetizers, wine, beers, and well drinks.

The selection of appetizers are limited to the six that appear on the menu. The rest of the items are reasonably priced, if those do not satisfy. None of those small bites are over $10 during HH. There is hummus, baba ganoush, crab falafels, hot wings, and two mixed plates that are good for sharing. The baba ganoush was delicious and came with 8 pieces of pita to wipe up the goodness. The wings were standard, coming in an order of six. The hot sauce is made with the garlic chili sauce used in Chinese cooking.

Beers and wine seem to be the way to go for their HH. My mojito would not be considered a well drink even if it used stock rum, and came out to full price. To get half off, the drinks need to be the simple well alcohol+mixer. Otherwise it treads on the line of a signature drink or specialty drink. The mojito was good nonetheless.

The service was mindful, with two different servers checking up on us often.

After having a good kick back time at a Yelp CME with Misti and friends I broke off from the group and met up with some friends at Laziza.

So I get there a little later than everyone else but they already had the table set and drinks ready to be poured. I walked in and the DJ was spinning hip hop. The music wasn't too loud and the transition from hip hop to house to other genre was well done and mixed.

I didn't order any food this time but I've had them before. The hookah was just coming out and the workers kept the coal and ashes clean.

Love this place late at night, hate the location, but worth the drive every time we go.

After work last night (7/24/11) my friend Jerry J. mentioned that we should go grab some food. We both drove to our prospective homes and then he came to pick me up about 5 seconds later. Hmmm... where to go? He suggested Greek food because:
#1 he knows I like Greek food.
#2 he had never tried Mediterranean food (!!!)
#3 he's scoping the food out and if he didn't like it, our possible trip in December might not happen.

Let it be known, that just like the Mexican food scene in Vegas, with small exceptions, the Greek food scene in Vegas is limited to crap kai Kronos gyros. I wasn't sure where we could even get any sort of Mediterranean food at 11 PM. I remembered Laziza was close to our houses, so we might as well check it out. After he drove around the parking lot and down the street a few times (he wasn't sure whether he was going to try the food or not... he's VERY picky) he finally went for it and we went inside.

Umm... WTF?! WHY don't clubs in Vegas play music like this? They had the most FABULOUS hyphy/rap/hip-hop mix BLASTING when we walked inside. On a Sunday night, I dare say the music is better than even Vanity. Heaven. Pure Heaven. I walked up to a guy sitting in a little room off to the left and asked him if the place was open for dinner and he quickly jumped up, and grabbed us menus and led us to a booth by the bar.

It took a LONG time for a waiter to come over and take our order. Because I was asked to just pick whatever off the menu for both of us, I ordered the Mezze sampler for us to share ($20) and a gyro with fries ($9) for Jerry to try. It took a long time for the food to come out, the sampler coming out about 10 minutes after the gyro. Jerry, being like a fish out of water at this place asked me what everything was on the plate - "that's shaved meat, that's pita bread, that's the cucumber sauce I was telling you about." "What's this sauce?" "Jerry... that's ketchup for your fries." Hehehe.

He said he really liked the gyro (thank God) but I can't comment on it as I didn't try it, but the falafel was the best I had ever had. Usually, falafel is dense and heavy, but these, when hot, were light and crispy. Yum! The tabouli was forgettable, the baba ghanoush, which is another dish I usually dislike, was very good. There were no dolmades, which were mentioned in the description, but rather two types of hummus, one being very smoky, and neither being that good. As well, the labnah is better at home and should have been served cold - it was too much like a runny dip in its warm form. Everything on the plate, sans falafel and baba ghanoush is better tasting at home for sure.

The atmosphere is great and if I could give this place 200 stars for the music, I would. I was dancing around in my seat and so was everybody else. Unfortunately, nobody was really on the dance floor, and I wasn't going to dance all by myself in a restaurant. I for sure want to come back with some friends just to grab a drink and dance.

A mezze sampler that was missing the dolmades, a gyro, a diet coke, two waters + $7 tip came out to... $41. Ridiculous! The service was way too slow and should step up their game. The mezze needs to come down in price but I have to give 4 stars because I was going crazy with the great music and atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back.

Five stars from me are hard to come by, but I thought about it... And I thought about it, and I think Laziza truly does deserve a five-star.

I don't smoke hookah, but I have been here a couple times to hang out with friends. It is a good location for me since I only live a couple miles away. The ambiance at Laziza is really cultural - a very nice place to hang out with friends.

As other reviews said, they do have a live DJ. There is also a dancing area, but it is not crowded and packed like a club would be, so that is a plus for me. (For those of you who are shy about dancing and being seen, then it might not be something for you.) The DJ plays a mix of Arabic/Persian and American hip hop/R&B music. I personally think it is a nice mix.

I also tried the filet mignon kabob, and it was delicious! The kabob also came with either a house salad or soup of the day. I tried the lentil soup, and that was also surprisingly good. The menu is not too extensive in the sense of Mediterranean-wise, but it is extensive enough for those who just want a burger and fries or shrimp scampi.

Most importantly, the service is great! For all the times I have been there, the staff always seems so eager to help and to make sure we are okay.

I will definitely recommend the next hang out with my friends to be held here. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and give it a try! You'll be surprise!

No doubt, the worst full-service restaurant in Southern Nevada. You are far better off sitting in the bar than the restaurant.

My wife and I visited the restaurant on a Friday night at 7 PM which is prime time for most restaurants, but a total fail for Laziza. With all the cars in the parking lot (one shared with several other restaurants), I thought it might be crowded inside. There only maybe ten tables in the dining room and only two were occupied. There were a fair amount of people in the bar.

I ordered a diet Coke. Guess, what they were out of diet Coke. So then I order an iced tea. Ok, so then the waitress comes back and says they are out of iced tea, but delivers another diet Coke. This one isn't right either (fountain not working correctly), so still not diet Coke. So I asked for water, which I woudn't see for another 30-45 minutes, long after my entrée arrived.

The menu is supposed to be Middle Eastern, but contains Philly Cheese steak, Asian (Chinese) Chicken Salad, Fried Chicken and Lasagna. I'm no expert on Greek/middle eastern food, so I decided to try the samplers - the Mezza ((labneh, hummus, falafel, baba ghanouj, tabbouli, grape leaves and pita) and the Laziza Sampler (like middle eastern empanadas). They were ok to me, but over priced for what you get.

Service was slow (especially considering there were only two other occupied tables in the dining room), if you could find a server at all. To add to the ambiance, there was an open mic night going on in the bar, and since the dining room opens into the bar, there was no sound barrier and was very loud, lots of bass and feedback.

It was an overall unpleasant experience. They never have to worry about seeing me again, but then again I don't expect them to be open much longer.

The roomie and I were craving Mediterranean food one night, and we discovered that this place was right around the corner from us, and had a fantastic happy hour half price appetizer deal, that we felt the need to take advantage of. We lucked out with great customer service over the phone when we called and placed an order for two hours later after a yoga class. We arrived to pick up the order and everything ready to go, a great price with the happy hour deal (the food was even worth the full price), and it definitely satisfied our cravings.

We ordered the mezza sampler, which consists of labneh, hummus, falafel, baba ghanouj, tabbouli and stuffed grape leaves. This served as a wonderful light dinner, I'll definitely be taking advantage of that again! The baba ghanouj was nice and smokey, the hummus was decent, and the pitas nice and toasty. I can't say anything about the quality of the drinks or hookah, but from my one visit I was impressed with the quality of the service and the food.

I will definitely NEVER be visiting this horrible hookah lounge again.

Overly loud music!

Bad hookah!

HORRIBLE service!

and did I mention HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE service!

Do not waste your money, and most important your time.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to sample any of the larger portions of food that is here, but I was here one night during a college function and I have to say the atmosphere is very trendy and lively. As far as the little party appetizers went, I was a big fan of the hummus and pita bread served.

Our function had a DJ so of course there was some mainstream music bumping, but besides that the ambience was dim and welcoming, a little cozy, and the hookahs featured were tasty. One of my drawbacks was that the bar was a little pricey, but then again it wasn't too bad given the atmosphere. Am definitely interested to come back to this place again for a 2nd and a more in-depth review!

I get it. It's a hookah lounge. That serves alcohol, which is pretty rare nowadays in Vegas. However I knew some friends who were throwing a party there and decided to go, mostly because they were boasting free alcohol for ladies for this private party.

The place overall has nice decor when you walk in. But then it gets confusing as you head to the back where the bar is. There's an indoor "patio" and a huge room with nothing in it. A few booths and a few tables, but it seemed really open and under-furnished.

The bartender ladies were super nice and greeted me immediately, which is refreshing since most women bartenders ignore other similarly-attractive women. The drinks (keep in mind they were free so I wasn't expecting amazingness) were really sugary and sweet. I ordered a few jolly ranchers for me and my group of friends and although it tasted good, it left that sweet/sour taste in your mouth. Plus after 10 of them, you start to feel a little sick from the sugar, and not buzzed enough.

The music was some weird Reggae music. Not good reggae, just weird pop-trans-throw-in-some-reggae-music.

The hookah was good, and they changed the coals often, which was nice. Overall my friends and I had a great, fun time. Should go back one time to try the restaurant.
