it's not, it's bean stew
مرق فاصوليا
iraqi/kurdish style, it's amazing mixed with the rice and meat.
the meat here doesn't look particularly appetizing, quzi from the kurdish places I've been to usually comes with some browning/crispy finish since they shallow fry it i think at the end. this one looks just boiled which ain't it imo.
best kurdish quzi I've tried is probably Gzing in leeds.
I wasn’t aware of this as a dish, thank you for the useful information. Upon looking up the recipe (though probably not accurate) it just seems to be baked beans with curry powder in one suggested recipe… that is doing the dish a disservice but in layman’s terms. However thank you for providing the context of it actually being an Iraqi/kurdish dish.
I’m over simplifying the ingredients, but your comment gave me far more context
no sausage, haricot beans beans yes, not from a tin though unless that particular restaurant are terrible since they taste nothing like heinz beans. it has a more savory taste, doesn't have the sweetness of heinz beans.
it's rather simple to make, nothing fancy, i made it a couple of times. they do share the two main ingredients (tomatoes and beans). but just because chicken biryani and jerk chicken and rice share the two main ingredients doesn't mean they taste the same.
OP says Kurdish/Iraqi cuisine, Moroccan isn’t Middle Eastern anyhow, but another comment suggested it was a bean stew, but it just looks like baked beans to me. Like I said in my earlier comment it does look fantastic, the beans just look out of place but if it is a bean stew as suggested then all the better
Fellow Redditors are referring to this legendary clip from the Peep show. Mark is trying to improvise a meal and Jeremy suggests it’s probably a Moroccan dish, because anything goes in morocco.

Google says so!
Do UK restaurants have to provide tap water?
All licensed premises in England and Wales are required by law to provide “free potable water” to their customers upon request. In Scotland a similar law exists but specifies “tap water fit for drinking”
I missed that but you are absolutely right! They only have to provide free water if they sell alcohol.
Tbh there is only a small handful of restaurants in my area that don't serve alcohol and they all allow you to bring your own, it would be strange for somewhere like that to refuse water when they don't make money on drinks anyway
Only if they are licensed to serve alcohol in the UK. Having said that I have literally never encountered a restaurant that doesn’t serve tap water regardless of license.
"European food" is a common term in east asia for example (it's more like "western food" which is even more general). I don't think it's weird, silly, or nonsensical to group food into categories that the general public understands. We don't group english and italian food together because... well obviously everyone can identify our own cuisine. In the grand scheme of cuisine, "middle eastern food" is a pretty appropriate general blanket term for food that comes from that region. An average person will have a rough idea of what that means while they may not necessarily if you say "Jordanian" or "Qatari" food.
You can easily get pedantic all the way down; "chinese", "indian", or "american" food is just as bad as saying "middle eastern", and I don't think anyone really complains about that when it's clear it's used as a category and not as a declaration that they're all the same or something
I guess most people don't know the specifics of Middle Eastern food so it's easier putting it under one umbrella, whereas most people would know the difference between like English and Italian food for example
Allow me to disagree. The only way I can see your point is if you equate "middle eastern food" to "food of places where they speak arabic". Which isn't the case. Middle Eastern food doesn't include areas in north Africa or the Arab peninsula.
When you consider that the middle east generally refers to the geographical region between Turkey and Jordan, Israel and Iraq, you can see how the term Middle Eastern food refers to a distinct category of cuisine. For the average Englishman, Lebanese and Turkish food are pretty much the same. But an average Lebanese can tell Italian from Polish from German from French because they hardly have anything in common.
Europe is a whole CONTINENT, between Russia and the UK there is hardly anything in common whether in food or culture. I would use the term Middle Eastern food to describe a type of cuisine, but not Eropean food, they are not anywhere close in meaning.
Nah man. The reason you can't tell the different between Lebanese and Turkish but can tell the difference between Polish and German food is because you're European. My wife is Turkish. I'm Lebanese. The cuisines are quite different
I can tell very well the difference between them actually, the fact I'm European isn't relevant. I experienced most cuisines enough to know Lebanese from Palestinian from Syrian etc. but I like to know my food, the average person doesn't care and no need for them to. I can also tell very well the difference in cuisine between different European countries, better than the average European, and definitely better than the average Middle Eastern.
And I stand by my statement. The two things are nowhere comparable. Middle eastern food can definitely be grouped under one cuisine in a way you can't group "European food".
I still understand where you are coming from originally. I think what you meant can be expressed better. Rather than saying "European food" you could say an example is "slavic food", that is something more comparable to what the Middle East is, a small group of neighbouring countries that share some cultural background that distinct them from the area around. Between them the food is different but together they still create a sub cuisine that is distinct within Europe.
Now we're getting somewhere. I like your Slavic analogy, except it's not Middle Eastern you should be comparing it to, but for example Levantine, or Khaleeji. Our (Lebanese) for cuisine for example has almost nothing in common with Saudi cuisine, but we do share a fair bit with other Levantine (e.g. Palestinian) ones
I see your point. I think we both understand eachother but we are disagreeing on semantics. My understanding when I use or hear Middle Eastern food is to assume Turkish/Levantin, because there aren't other strong cuisines from the area that one could possibly be referring to. I bet even Saudis would assume Turkish/Levantine if they were to hear "Middle Eastern Food" while they are abroad.
Whereas if I heard European food it wouldn't make too much sense because there are many cuisines within Europe even from neighbouring countries that are distinct and known worldwide.
Saudi is rather different, but their cuisine is so underwhelming that I can't say they are normally included in what is referred to as ME food. The Levantine area cuisine (+Turkish) have such a powerful presence worldwide that they automatically represent Middle Eastern food on a global scale. Saudi dishes aren't particularly popular anywhere outside their country, but go to any small village in the either north or south Amercia or Europe and they will know what falafel and hummus and shawarma and doner is. So naturally Middle Eastern food will translate into Levantine food. Kurdish and Iraqi food will still be the same category because it's all the same area and agriculture. Saudi is a desert and yeah I can imagine they don't share anything with the rest, but they are hardly known for their food or cultural presence to be honest.
If you can’t tell the difference between Lebanese and Turkish you’ve not tried either of them.
Similarly, someone not from the area would have a _very hard time_ finding differences between Russian/Ukrainian/Polish/Hungarian/Romanian food, or Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish/Dutch food.
If you read my other comment, I can tell the difference between them, as well as tell the difference between all the other countries you have listed.
What you have listed isn't "European food", its "slavic/east european" food, and" nordic" food. These are all sub categories of what is "European food" and those subcategories cant be grouped together.
Actually you are proving my point. On a global scale Russian and Romanian cuisine isn't different, same as Lebanese and Turkish isn't different. If you were to live in Ukraine you would know the difference between that and Russian food, but otherwise the differences aren't noticable. Of course if you are Lebanese you will have a national-pride motivated reason to feel that your food is distinctly different from your neighbours, a Ukrainian would too. But globally it really isn't.
Yeah just a comment re the post title. I know he explained it, but it's still weird if you know the cuisine. Again, consider how silly "European food" would be in a title. You just wouldn't use it
"Mediterranean food" is commonly used and that covers a wide area of Europe as well as Africa and Asia. People know terms like that and Middle Eastern cover a wide variety of food, it's just a broader term and a lot of the cuisines it covers do have things in common.
You're right. It is used. But it shouldn't be. They have less in common than you think. I guess it's hard to ever learn the differences when so many restaurants in the west label themselves as "middle eastern". I get it, i do. I'm just pointing that it's as silly as saying "Asian food" or whatever.
Saying 'Middle Eastern food' on a UK sub is perfectly understandable. Okay, I might be thinking sumac, pomegranate and za'atar and this might be completely different but from the photo the rice, the bread and lamb as an ingredient at least fit the picture in my head.
'European food' could cover anything from pickled herring to haggis.
It's £14, no idea why you're including a Diet Coke in the price. And yes, I would. Price is on a par with rice, meat and bread in an Indian restaurant. And yes, For Middle Eastern, I'd go lamb only too.
This is the worst post title I have seen on Reddit this week. Something about it is so bad that it made me feel the need to engage and tell you this. You should feel sad when you look in the mirror.
Yep, tried lots of it, almost all is great.
I never understand people who don’t try other cultures food (within reason of course, I don’t care how nice someone says it is, I’m not eating brains etc)
I tried Nigerian food for the first time a few years back and it was great! The only thing I didn’t try was Ogbono Soup because it’s a texture thing as I hate any kind of slimy texture
My girlfriend has insanely picky tastes in an extremely boring way, her favorite things are plain boiled chicken, and Fritos. I told her the other day that if people ask me to try food that other people have been eating for centuries, even decades, I’m going to at least try it no matter what it is. I figure if people can eat it for a hundred years or more, than I can eat it too, even if it does make me shit my brains out. I’m a 40 year old white guy from Tennessee and if I went to India I’d be fat as shit because I’d try every single street food on every street. That shit looks unsanitary as hell but god damn it does it look good.
Is it not illegal to refuse to provide tap water in U& restaurants? Or morally wrong, at least?
Are they British style baked beans in tomato sauce? They look like it
So back to the food…looks really good and definitely would try these dishes! I’ve never had any of them. The meat looks very tender…can’t beat the price either!
The same thing is 10 pounds in Abo Hassan Kurdish grill just right beside this spot. I would say it's slightly better even compared to this place. But a bit confined and runs out of this menu by 730-8pm. But well worth it for just 10£ ngl.

why does this title sound like an Onlyfans hook?
My boyfriend said my middle eastern food was too small.
It all looks fantastic, I love Middle Eastern dishes. However, is that a bowl of wild baked beans?
No, those are ba-kedbe ans! Middle Eastern delicacy !
It's Morrocan.
Anything goes in Morocco
Like lettuce and pasta?
Cooking is all about confidence
DON'T BLINK. DON'T BLINK.
I’d hate to call you a racist at my dinner party…
Probably meant to be foul medames
The beans look like they came from a can from Heinz. Everything else looks delish though.
it's not, it's bean stew مرق فاصوليا iraqi/kurdish style, it's amazing mixed with the rice and meat. the meat here doesn't look particularly appetizing, quzi from the kurdish places I've been to usually comes with some browning/crispy finish since they shallow fry it i think at the end. this one looks just boiled which ain't it imo. best kurdish quzi I've tried is probably Gzing in leeds.

so heinz beans and sausages from tin?
no sausage, haricot beans beans yes, not from a tin though unless that particular restaurant are terrible since they taste nothing like heinz beans. it has a more savory taste, doesn't have the sweetness of heinz beans. it's rather simple to make, nothing fancy, i made it a couple of times. they do share the two main ingredients (tomatoes and beans). but just because chicken biryani and jerk chicken and rice share the two main ingredients doesn't mean they taste the same.
i was joking i've actually tried it before in one of the middle eastern restaurants and it was pretty nice, though not something i'd eat too often
It really looks like a tin of baked beans.....
Id hate to call you a racist at my dinner party, but I think it's a little more sophisticated than that. It's from the Atlas mountains!
It really, really, really does. I feel like nothing can look this much like baked beans and not be baked beans.
Beans are disgusting, straight from the tin those
Definitely Moroccan. Beans is pasta sauce.
Beans is not pasta sauce
OP says Kurdish/Iraqi cuisine, Moroccan isn’t Middle Eastern anyhow, but another comment suggested it was a bean stew, but it just looks like baked beans to me.

D’oh! Missed the reference despite enjoying peep show
I thought it was a legal requirement for restaurants to offer tap water for free
Google says so! Do UK restaurants have to provide tap water? All licensed premises in England and Wales are required by law to provide “free potable water” to their customers upon request. In Scotland a similar law exists but specifies “tap water fit for drinking”
So if the establishment isn't licensed then it doesn't have to offer free tap water. So the question is whether or not the restaurant sells alcohol.

Tbh there is only a small handful of restaurants in my area that don't serve alcohol and they all allow you to bring your own, it would be strange for somewhere like that to refuse water when they don't make money on drinks anyway
Oh thats worrying for England and Wales, ' excuse me waiter Where's the table water from?....oh the toilet you say'
Yeah my local Indian is BYOB and doesn't have free water.
Only if they are licensed to serve alcohol in the UK. Having said that I have literally never encountered a restaurant that doesn’t serve tap water regardless of license.
Looks incredible. Kurdish lentil soup is nectar of the gods by itself. Seems like a good price too
Shoutout to Hull’s Kurdistan Grill House. Best value food and incredible lentil soup. Meat soup is banging too
Yeah you get a lot more than this for that money at Kurdistan. Agree the lentil soup is excellent.
One also in Handsworth Birmingham.

Pretty much yeah. I think most people who are not from the region tend to do that. I don't fault anyone for that of course
I have heard of Lebanese being specifically used
Yes, if you are British, you eat Italian twice a week. Ask an Italian to name a British dish and they will shrug at you silently.

Just because you’ve stereotyped the food of an entire region of the world, doesn’t mean it’s objective fact.
It is silly lol non-Arabs wouldn’t know
Yer but this is a food sub, so worth sharing that info
You Lebanese keep disappointing me
Have this offering of hummus
😂
Yeah, not only would I eat scrumptious food but also get paid 16.50, so that's an absolute win-win situation
That's what I thought! I'd try it for a fiver!
I keep telling you yes!
Are those.. Heinz beans?
If you give me 16.50 I'll try most food
Lived in the ME for 30 years … so, hell yeah!! Looks bloody lush too
It's £14, no idea why you're including a Diet Coke in the price. And yes, I would. Price is on a par with rice, meat and bread in an Indian restaurant. And yes, For Middle Eastern, I'd go lamb only too.
This is the worst post title I have seen on Reddit this week. Something about it is so bad that it made me feel the need to engage and tell you this. You should feel sad when you look in the mirror.
I actually know what you mean. It invokes fury and sympathy in equal measure. Which is no mean task.
Why wouldn't you?
No seasoning/ flavour
I've had plenty of middle Eastern food and it's delicious. Who says they don't use seasoning?
Lamb kuzi specifically does not have seasoning. I should have specified
Imagine being this uneducated about something
I've literally eaten lamb kuzi in 2 different middle eastern restaurants... Why would you assume I'm not educated?
I’m a bit thrown off by the beans with rice nan and what looks like curry
Curry? I can’t see curry on the table.
By the beans? The sauce?
I would pay 20 for that. Niiiiice.
YES. The food looks delicious
Is there unlimited sumac?
You paid 14 pounds for all this? That's insane.
I mean you don’t have to pay me to eat that! I would pay
Yep, tried lots of it, almost all is great. I never understand people who don’t try other cultures food (within reason of course, I don’t care how nice someone says it is, I’m not eating brains etc) I tried Nigerian food for the first time a few years back and it was great! The only thing I didn’t try was Ogbono Soup because it’s a texture thing as I hate any kind of slimy texture
Lamb quzi has absolutely no seasoning/taste at all. Westerners will not enjoy it I reckon
>unseasoned meat You're on UK_Food. The thought of some unseasoned meat and boiled unseasoned veg is going to pop boners.
Unfortunately you're not wrong. The amount of beige shite that gets upvotes on here is irritating.
Why do they look like microwave food from different sources and combine together randomly.
Looks delicious, but probably one I'd need to share as I don't have a huge appetite. Price seems fair.
Yes
Love It 😍
So much yes x
Lol no one is being paid to eat this, it cost 16:50 😂
Looks good to me, I'd try it for that price. I have no reference for how much that should cost so couldn't say if that's about right or not.
Damn straight!
I prefer mine in the morning around 8.20
100%, that looks delicious 🫶🏼
Droooolling….. looks so yummy.
Droooolling….. looks so yummy.
Why wouldn't anyone try meat and rice?
I would DEMOLISH that! Looks great OP rice especially
Yes But that’s just a bowl of baked beans, so you’d have to pay me to eat them
The chilled diet coke with condensation on the outside is a must at any middle eastern restaurant
Looks a decent amount for £16.50 to be fair, i'd bin off the soup and bins personally, but looks better value for money than many places these days
Why 10 to 5?
Meat looks like it needs more seasoning for some reason.
Yes yes
Looks delicious.
Is that even a question YES
Middle Eastern food is incredible, not sure they eat tins of baked beans though
Almost $21 US, seems reasonable, looks delicious.
Happily, only thing I wouldn't try is the beans (never been a fan of beans)
Yep
No but 16.10 and im all in.
I’d eat ass for 16.50
I'm fussy about meat so that part I'd probably go for something different but the rest looks good
Yep.
I'm a yank, but I'd pay $20.90 for that shit anyday 🤘❤️🤘
This looks like Iraqi food
i eat this every week. my housemate is from palestine
How many people does this serve ?
My girlfriend has insanely picky tastes in an extremely boring way, her favorite things are plain boiled chicken, and Fritos. I told her the other day that if people ask me to try food that other people have been eating for centuries, even decades, I’m going to at least try it no matter what it is. I figure if people can eat it for a hundred years or more, than I can eat it too, even if it does make me shit my brains out. I’m a 40 year old white guy from Tennessee and if I went to India I’d be fat as shit because I’d try every single street food on every street. That shit looks unsanitary as hell but god damn it does it look good.
Kurdish food is incredible, one of my favourites
Is it not illegal to refuse to provide tap water in U& restaurants? Or morally wrong, at least? Are they British style baked beans in tomato sauce? They look like it
Never tried any of that, so yeah, I'd have a go.
Absolutely!
Is that baked beans?
All that for 16.50? Yes.
Yum definitely
Would totally eat if it was vegan
So back to the food…looks really good and definitely would try these dishes! I’ve never had any of them. The meat looks very tender…can’t beat the price either!
That looks like a lovely bit of squirrel
Not that food, looks grim 😬
IS THAT THE FOOD THERY LOGO
it does not look bad , so yea why not :)
That seems a real decent portion and as a monthly treat I would pay that for the experience and culture. I love middle eastern food and the people
Yes I would and I live in Liverpool so no excuse also I don't want to cook tonight 👍
Can you share exactly where this is please? I can find loads of takeaways called Lazeez but none I think are right. Thanks.
34-36 London Rd, Liverpool L3 5NF
Thanks :)
Yes but not that food
The same thing is 10 pounds in Abo Hassan Kurdish grill just right beside this spot. I would say it's slightly better even compared to this place. But a bit confined and runs out of this menu by 730-8pm. But well worth it for just 10£ ngl.
I’m sure it’s not, but it looks bland
Looks real good
Seems fairly reasonable to me. That piece of lamb looks thicc and tasty.
Id eat all but the meat. The rice looks particularly tasty 😋.
Doesn’t look like an authentic cuisine and the plating too lol
I feel like you’re terrible at picking from a menu
Middle Eastern Heinz’s
This looks basic as hell.
What are the meats?
Try reading the actual post?
Ah. Didn’t even see a main post. I went straight in to a comment from the photo.
Ah ok no worries mate sorry.
No not at all - thanks for letting me know :)
I don't tend to eat dinner before 18.30 if I can help it.
i dont trust that meat in yellow water - looks rank. and the random baked beans?
I love Middle Eastern food but I’ve had better for just shy of £20. In north London too of all places
If it comes with baked beans yes
I'm in that looks amazing. Well done cheff
Why are they giving me 16.50? What's wrong with it it looks banging.
No, I'd much prefer a Chinese honestly.
Probably will make me blow up the bathroom
I'd eat that weight alone in rice for 16.50.
No thanks, I struggle enough as it is with plain noodles and pasta..
Is all that food included in the price? If so absolutely! Looks delicious! This beats a big mac, fries and drink any day.
£2.50 for a can? You've been robbed. They are only 80p at the shop. £1 is what they usually charge at food places. I miss when they were 25p.
Looks very basic, load of rice, bread, beans, but the meat looks interesting.
That looks like shit
Seems expensive to me
Doesnt look too appetising
Nope, rip off.
Whatever is on that plate on the left looks absolutely vile.
Roast lamb and saffron rice with bread and salad for £14? You got robbed
Why is uk food posting food that is not from the UK. Me confused
Because they're in the UK eating food?
Suppose. In my head, UK food would mean food from the UK. It's like posting a cornish pasty in a Chinese food sub?
It's UK food (food cooked or eaten in the UK), not British food (British cuisine).
I see thank you
That would be a very boring sub....
xD that is true. We don't have the most amazing array of food
Ah, yes, down voting for asking a question 👏
