The Bottom Line

Gazania is an Arabic-focused restaurant in Al Warqa that is especially worth considering for Iraqi shawarma and Pirzola chicken. Reviews describe the shawarma as juicy and flavourful, with the beef version charred and generously filled, while the Pirzola is often reported as tender, well-spiced and cooked well. Chicken charcoal, mutton madghout and mutton rice also receive strong mentions.

The freshly baked bread is part of the appeal rather than an afterthought. Customers describe it as hot, soft and excellent with grills, and some reviews also praise the falafel, kunafa and mutton soup. The dining room is generally described as calm, clean and family-friendly, with attentive staff who explain the menu and help with choices.

There are a few practical cautions. Delivery can be slow: one reviewer waited more than 30 minutes even for a small wrap. Parking is sometimes difficult to find, and the space may feel cramped for larger groups.

Portion value is not completely consistent; one customer was disappointed by a 90AED mix grill, while another found portions smaller than elsewhere. Side dishes also divide opinion, so first-time diners may want to prioritise the shawarma, Pirzola and fresh bread.
