Lazeez Shawarma: United by Taste in Newmarket

When you want the best in Middle Eastern-Canadian flavours, Lazeez Shawarma is the name to remember. Lazeez is a franchise brand that started in 2013 with a small quick-service restaurant in Mississauga; it has expanded to over 50 locations across Ontario, and you can enjoy all the items from its tasty menu at Newmarket Plaza from 10 am to 1 am daily.

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Cuisine With a Canadian Twist

The Lazeez approach to delicious meals and handhelds is based on the traditional shawarma (vertical rotisserie) method. This roasting technique dates back to the 19th century, and it spread throughout Turkey and the Middle East before reaching the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Americas. When you order from the Lazeez Shawarma menu, you get a culinary experience featuring authentic spices and unique flavours.

Beyond the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, you can also enjoy Canadian fusion dishes like Chicken Shawarma Poutine made with 100% Halal poultry, cheese curds, and hot gravy with your choice of spice lines. Another popular fusion dish is the delicious Yalla Bowl with chicken or falafel, which you can order with garlic or sesame Dunk Sauce, a proprietary Lazeez recipe.

Convenient, Affordable, and Healthy

Lazeez runs an efficient quick-service restaurant model focused on expediency, nutrition, and value. A Beef Kofta Kebab, for example, is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with only 660 calories. A regular Mixed Shawarma with beef and chicken provides 530 calories. Ordering from Lazeez will never break the bank; thanks to the sourcing of Canadian ingredients, the franchise has become synonymous with tasty dishes at exceptional value. For extra convenience, you can order through DoorDash, Skip the Dishes, or Uber Eats.

Supporting the Basketball Community

Since 2023, Lazeez Shawarma has been the “Official Shawarma of Canada Basketball,” sponsoring the senior Men’s and Women’s National Teams. In 2022, Lazeez hosted Andrew Wiggins in his Ontario hometown after winning the NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors.
