Gazebo - Al Quoz

Gazebo is a contemporary Indian restaurant with a traditional and Mughlai focus. The clearest reason to visit is the food: customers specifically mention Dum Biryani, Stuffed Mushroom Biryani, mutton pulao and butter chicken. One family also praised a Royal Iftar Box as sufficient for two, with enjoyable biryani and hareesa.

The dining room comes across as clean, cosy and warm rather than cramped or purely functional. Families can ask about the curtain-enclosed tables or partitions, a useful detail if privacy matters. The restaurant is also described as being on the first level of Aswaq Mall, with a reasonably sized dining area.

Service is a mixed part of the picture. Many reviews describe welcoming, professional staff and smooth teamwork, but others mention rude interactions, difficulty getting attention and food delays. Delivery and bike riders specifically reported having no proper waiting or seating area, so takeaway logistics may be less comfortable.

If you prefer mild food, confirm the spice level before ordering: one returning customer expected a zero-spice preparation but found it unavailable on a later visit. Also note that the kitchen’s fusion touches may appeal if you want new flavours, but could disappoint if you are seeking strictly traditional dishes. Portions were described as enough for one, but light for two.
