A little about this place
About Lazeez Shawarma Oakville
Lazeez Shawarma's Oakville branch is a counter-service Middle Eastern shop at 146 Lakeshore Road West, open late and set up for quick takeaway as much as for eating in. The menu runs shawarma wraps, shawarma plates and salads built at the counter, with garlic sauce as the house condiment. Google lists it as a halal restaurant, women-owned, with vegan and vegetarian options, a salad bar, catering, delivery, no-contact delivery, dessert, Wi-Fi, free parking and a gender-neutral washroom; the typical spend is $10-20, and the listing marks the shop LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space.
It is rated 4.4 on Google from 1,689 ratings. Staffing is the pressure point: the counter often runs one person deep at busy hours, so waits stretch well past what a fast-food counter suggests, and it is worth checking sauce and portion levels before leaving.

What people enjoy
- Two reviewers described the food as good and the service quick, one calling it a local spot worth recommending.
- Three reviewers singled out the counter staff working hard while short-handed, including one served during a power outage and one who watched a single worker cover four or five groups.
- One reviewer described the vegetarian Yalla Falafel bowl as crisp outside and tender inside, generously filled with fresh vegetables and not greasy.
Things to keep in mind
- Understaffing is the recurring problem: four distinct reviewers reported waits far longer than a counter-service shop implies, including almost thirty minutes on a Friday evening with one worker serving four or five groups, and fifteen to twenty minutes for a soup.
- Three reviewers reported getting less than they paid for - a $15 chicken-on-the-rocks plate with barely any rice or chicken, a shawarma salad container barely half full, and a soup served in two small cups because the usual size had run out.
- Three reviewers reported sauce applied too sparingly, two of them having specifically asked for extra garlic sauce.
- Two reviewers described the food as stale or not fresh - stale potatoes and hard rice in one case, and chicken held in a container beside the salad bar rather than carved from the skewer in the other.
- Two reviewers rated this branch below other Lazeez locations, one specifically on the garlic sauce and the shawarma.
