“Went today to this branch, previously have always been to rashidiya and they are exceptional. But my experience at this branch was utterly disappointing. Ordered the bhuna gosht, biryani and grill, the meat in the bhuna gosht was dry and chewy and tasted old. The biryani was bland and just tasted bland as well. Definitely the most disappointing experience considering the overly priced menu.”

“Disappointing Mutton Nihari Experience !! I recently visited your restaurant with high hopes of enjoying a good plate of mutton nihari, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major letdown. The dish didn’t taste even 1% close to the authentic niharis I’ve enjoyed at numerous other establishments. The flavors were bland and lacked the richness and depth that make nihari a beloved dish. To add to the disappointment, the dish was served without the traditional garnish of sliced ginger, which is an essential element for enhancing the flavor and presentation of nihari. This oversight further reflected a lack of attention to detail. I hope you take this feedback constructively and work on improving your nihari to meet the standards of authenticity and quality that your customers expect.”

Dine in. Choose dine-in if you want the traditional pot presentation: a review says pot service is only for dine-in, while delivery arrives in plastic.
Share biryani. For a group, consider the Large Mutton Hyderabadi Biryani; one reviewer found it easily sufficient for 3 to 4 people.
Find entrance. The restaurant is inside Union Coop: enter the premises and take the elevator to the first floor, as there may be no outside signboard.
Confirm booking. If you reserve a table, reconfirm it before arriving; one Al Twar diner said their advance reservation was not honoured.

The Bottom Line
Gazebo is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Al Twar with a relaxed, polished dining room and a menu centred on traditional Indian and Mughlai cooking. The clearest reason to consider it is the biryani: reviewers highlight the Large Mutton Hyderabadi Biryani, Hyderabadi chicken biryani and sealed-pot presentations. Kebabs also have a strong following, particularly for their tenderness.
The setting works well for families and groups. One review mentions comfortable seating and a private enclosed family space, while another says the large mutton biryani can feed three to four people. Staff are often described as attentive and welcoming, though the branch has also received complaints about an unhonoured reservation and unprofessional complaint handling.
Pricing sits toward the premium end. Some diners feel the quality and ambience justify it, but delivery portions have drawn sharp criticism, including a Methi Murgh Keema portion that reportedly did not fill a small tiffin. Delivery also misses the traditional pot service, which a review says is reserved for dine-in.
If you drive, free parking was reported at the Union Coop Hypermarket; allow time to find the first-floor restaurant inside the building.
