What to Avoid (11)

Food 11

  1. Anguri rabdi Net −1
    “Anguri rabdi was nowhere close to being rabdi but was just marble sized ras malayi served in small Claypot.”
  2. Bhuna gosht Net −1
    “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.”
  3. Butter naan Net −1
    “Worst quality of butter chicken I ever tried. Despite waiting for 1 hour for the food the quantity of butter naan which i ordered 2 for 18 aed same price as 2 shawarmas was not enough. The quality of Naan was poor as the order took 1 hour to arrive.”
  4. Chicken biryani Net −1
    “Charging 50 AED for tomato rice and selling it as chicken biryani. We will never order again. Wastage of money and time ,Should give zero rating.”
  5. Galawati kabab Net −1
    “​"We ordered Hyderabadi Murgh Biryani and Galawati Kabab, and both were absolutely tasteless.”
  6. Methi murgh keema Net −1
    “This is a Methi Murgh Keema dish selling for around AED 41 at Gazebo - it does NOT even fit into a small tiffin!!! When you “dine” there, the portion is slightly more.”
  7. Mutton chops Net −1
    “Biryani is average and expensive mutton chops was not good it was full of masala rest good place for family to eat”
  8. Mutton nihari Net −1
    “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.”
  9. Spicest biyani Net −1
    “Excellent service . Good quality of food The spicest biyani is not spicy . Feel to spice up a bit more”
  10. Tandoori chicken Net −1
    “The tandoori chicken was served in a tray without any garnishing, and the overall taste of the food was not impressive.”
  11. Tomato rice Net −1
    “Charging 50 AED for tomato rice and selling it as chicken biryani. We will never order again. Wastage of money and time ,Should give zero rating.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4
1

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.

2

Share biryani. For a group, consider the Large Mutton Hyderabadi Biryani; one reviewer found it easily sufficient for 3 to 4 people.

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.
