* 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

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!

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 !

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!

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!

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.

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
