I saw a Grand Opening sign outside Lazeez Mediterranean Grill as I drove along Sepulveda Blvd. in Harbor City. It was not a Friday, so I could eat meat, and I did crave for some meat. I parked my car and went in. I was overwhelmed with the menu. Thank God for pictures!
I decided to order the small Filet Mignon Kabab, which came with 2 sides. There was a picture of something that looked like hummus, but it had something in the middle: olive oil, chickpeas, and maybe jalapeño. I thought a healthy choice to go with this was the grilled vegetables. As I thought out loud, the young man helping me mentioned that the vegetables were really good, so I decided to get them.
As I waited for my order, I sat there watching a video of someone slicing some Shawarma. That made me even hungrier than I already was. I couldn't help noticing the beautiful paintings on the wall. My server informed me that a friend of the owner painted them.
As soon as I got home, I poured myself a glass of red wine and started digging. I ate from the plastic container with the plastic utensils. I was so impressed by how the plastic knife cut through the well-done but very tender and juicy filet. The vegetables were indeed full of flavor. The hummus is the best I've had, including the ones I have had in Turkey. It tasted like very rich, creamy, and yummy mashed potatoes. The only hummus I buy here is the chocolate hummus, which I dip strawberries in.
I am definitely going back to try the many platters, wraps, and pizzas. You can order them large, which includes 3 sides and pita bread, or small, which includes 2 sides and pita bread.
Lazeez is located at 1650 Sepulveda Blvd. in Harbor City, California.
