Ever had those random cravings for Indian food—with its bold spices, creamy curries, and that comforting zing of cardamom or cumin? Yeah, me too. My love affair with Indian cuisine started during a trip to Penang, Malaysia, and let’s just say… since then, it’s been a delicious obsession. So when I stumbled upon Lazeez Indian Restaurant in Da Nang, Vietnam… well, I’ve been going back ever since.
If you’re in the area and wondering where to get a soul-satisfying meal, this place should be on your radar.
The Setting: Cozy Meets Convenient
Hidden in plain sight along bustling Pham Van Dong Street, Lazeez is nestled right beneath the Mai Boutique Villa hotel (a great spot for budget-friendly lodging, by the way). Whether you’re strolling from East Sea Park or zipping over via Grab, getting there is a breeze.
🕒 Open daily from 11 AM to 10:30 PM
💵 Dishes range between 30,000–175,000 VND
🕌 100% Halal Certified
🌬️ No aircon, but plenty of fans keep things breezy
🪑 Indoor and outdoor seating available
First Impressions: Chill Vibes and Warm Hospitality
Don’t expect flashy vibes or modern minimalism here—Lazeez has that lived-in charm of a local joint where the focus is purely on flavor. Most of the lunchtime and early dinner hours are calm, giving it a relaxed, almost homely feel. It’s not swanky, and that’s exactly why I like it.
The Menu: A Love Letter to Indian Cuisine
If you’re a fan of variety, Lazeez’s 8-page menu will feel like opening a treasure chest.
From familiar favorites like butter chicken and garlic naan to lesser-known delights like aloo chana chaat or dal fry, there’s something for every spice palate and dietary preference (vegetarians, you’re covered!).
Here’s what’s on my must-try list:
🧡 Butter Chicken + Naan = Heaven
Soft chicken slathered in a rich, spiced tomato-butter sauce. Add a warm naan to the mix, and you’re in flavor town. It’s simple, comforting, and honestly, a great intro dish if you’re new to Indian food.

🍛 The Daily Thali Special: A Mini Culinary Journey
This is my go-to! For 235,000 VND, you get a combo plate with your choice of “Veg of the Day”, “Meat of the Day”, or “Meat of Special” (I usually opt for the chicken tikka version). It comes with dal fry, chicken tikka masala, tandoori roti, and a sweet finish—gulab jamun (a syrupy, doughy dessert delight). It’s filling, flavorful, and hits all the right notes.

🍚 Biryani + Chaat = Flavor Fireworks
Try the chicken biryani if you’re in the mood for a fragrant rice dish layered with spices and juicy meat. And for something lighter and tangy, the aloo chana chaat—a mix of chickpeas, potatoes, fresh chopped veggies, and chutneys—is an underrated gem.

Don’t Skip the Drinks
Lazeez offers more than just great food. Their drink menu is just as impressive. Whether you’re looking for a traditional lassi (yogurt-based smoothie), a hot chai, iced coffee, or something stronger like beer or cocktails—there’s a sip for every situation.
Getting There: Easy as (Mango) Pie
Located just a short ride north of the My An area, Lazeez is easy to reach via:
- 🚗 GrabCar or GrabBike (affordable and convenient)
- 🛵 Your own scooter (with free parking available onsite)
The added perk? It’s right next to East Sea Park—perfect for a post-meal beach stroll.
Final Thoughts: Come Hungry, Leave Happy
Whether you’re a curry-devouring veteran or someone just dipping their naan into the world of Indian cuisine, Lazeez is a warm-worthy spot to satisfy your cravings. Great prices, hearty portions, and unmistakable flavors. You really can’t go wrong.
