Since my previous post mysteriously disappeared I will Re-post.
I attempted to book a party at Lazzat only to realize they are extremely unprofessional and grossly overpriced. Â After booking my event and giving my credit card number I was told one week prior to the event that we were being bumped. Â They then proceeded to blame us for not booking earlier even though they had already accepted our reservation.
Don't use them for catering unless you want a headache, overpriced food, and a bad impression of Pakistani Restaurants.
Food was terrible. It wasn't real authentic Pakistani or Indian food, but just oily garbage. I really hope someone can change this restaurant cause my moms food is much much better then the food there. Plus rude service and no idea of customer service whatsoever. They should make some changes or else they'll be digging themselves in a hole soon.
Review Source:I ordered for take out on sunday night, i guess it was after the buffet was closed because the place was empty when i picked up... That should have been a sign!! The food was bad! The goat was just bones and the masala was oil.. I believe they just gave leftover from the buffet!
Sad, i really was hoping this would have been good.. It was bad! Really bad.
Nothing. NOTHING. Will beat Lazzat. Absolutely nothing. I live on Devon and have been trying to find my go-to nihari restaurant. To me, it's just as important as finding your clutch neighborhood chinese delivery. So many restaurants but nothing will compare to the gem that is in Streamwood.
It even beats all the local suburban Indo-Pakistani cuisine. Their buffet is a monster. Come with an appetite. And everything on their dinner menu is too good for words.
Let's just put it this way. This place is catering my wedding reception. Let's just put it that way.
This place is an undiscovered gem! Â Sure, it might be a little intimidating to go into a restaurant serving traditional Pakastani food, especially one in a strip mall in Streamwood. Â Take my word for it, GO! Â I was dragged here and very nervous about the food options and even more about the lack of people inside. Â Don't be. Â Right now, the owner says most of his business is carryout or catering so don't be surprised if you're the only ones eating there. Â
As for the food, it's outstanding. Â If you like spicy food and enjoy trying new things, this is the place to be. The experience of eating combinations of spices you've never had before is fun and has great results. Â The service has always been outstanding when I've gone (again, I'm the only one there.) Â The dishes are family style so bring friends and order plenty of nan, the hot, fresh, soft bread you use to eat the ordered entree.
My suggestions for first timers are the chicken pakora or kababs for appetizers and the nahari for an entree. Â The desserts are also very good, so if you have room, give one a try.
Live outside your comfort zone and try this place. Â I don't think you'll be disappointed.
