Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with one server named again and again for being attentive without being pushy, though the grilled meats and big portions come close behind. Diners describe the lamb shank, the tender and juicy meat, and the chicken wings served with rice or chips, while another ordered a lamb soup with vegetables and rice and a thin bread with meat. Complimentary bread and dips arrive with drinks and olives, and one group was given baklava and Turkish delight at the end of the meal. Several call the portions huge and the prices fair, and one praises the fresh salad and warm flat bread. A visitor staying nearby chose it because it was halal. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as buzzing, relaxed and welcoming. No recurring complaint appears, and one diner notes that meat can be cooked to well done on request. The detail that closes most accounts is the free baklava and Turkish delight.

“We had a brilliant experience at Lalezar from start to finish. The food was absolutely lovely, beautifully prepared, full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The atmosphere was great, making it the perfect place to get together and enjoy a meal. A special mention has to go to Umut, whose service was genuinely exceptional. He was welcoming, attentive, friendly and made sure we were all looked after throughout the meal. Nothing was too much trouble, and his excellent customer service really made the experience stand out. It’s not often you get food this good alongside service that makes you feel so welcome. The whole experience was fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Huge thanks to Umut and the team at Lalezar — we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food and outstanding hospitality. 👏”

“What an amazing find. Staying at Hilton at the racecourse and only down the road. The service and food were totally on point. Ozzie my waiter recommended items to me and they were great. The salad was so fresh, meat was tender and juicy and the flat bread warm and bouncy.”

“Lalazer doesn't serve meals... they serve edible naps. 😴 Every visit ends in a full-blown food coma, zero regrets, and the annual promise of "next time we'll order less." (We never do.) Food so good you'll ignore every signal your stomach sends, then blame the chair when you can't stand up. 10/10. They have been Serving perfection on a plate since day 1. lovely staff, relaxed cosy atmosphere and forever our first choice when eating out in Doncaster. Thanks for another fantastic meal.”

“Very very nice! I had the Tavuk Kanat (chicken wings). It comes with rice but you are able to have with chips. The service was very nice. Kind workers. Nice music. Chill atmosphere. If you think your meat is not cooked the way you want, you can ask them to cook it to well done. I really enjoyed myself. 👍👍👍😋😋😋”
