The Good Stuff
Butter chicken
The Butter Chicken is repeatedly praised; one first-time visitor especially liked its creamy sweetness alongside buttery naan.
Curtained tables
Some seating is arranged as private tables with close curtains, giving families or couples a more secluded meal.
Allergen list
The restaurant has an allergen list, which helped one guest manage gluten intolerance with care.
Late welcome
A late-arriving group was still warmly accommodated for dine-in rather than being limited to takeaway.
Family setting
Reviews describe a warm, comfortable atmosphere for families, including a family of five dining smoothly during Eid.
Tips for a Better Visit
Visit early. Try going before peak periods; one visitor found 12:30pm quiet and received food without a long wait.
Expect weekends. Allow extra time on busy weekends, when one review recorded a 45-minute wait for the order.
Adjust spice. Ask whether the dish can be adjusted: a reviewer says the spice level can be changed to suit your preference.
Claim discounts. If using a discount card, arrange it before the receipt is printed; one attempted Fazaa discount could not be added afterward.
Request privacy. Ask about the curtained tables if you want a more private meal; one visitor was seated at a private table with a close curtain.
Use parking. The mall has ample parking, and one review specifically notes parking nearby.

The Bottom Line
Gazebo is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Mirdif that suits a relaxed family meal, a casual gathering or a first taste of the chain’s traditional cooking. The strongest recurring choices are Hyderabadi Biryani, Butter Chicken, kebabs and dum biryani. Reviews describe the food as aromatic, richly spiced and often freshly prepared, although one long-time customer found the flavour blander than in earlier years.
The setting is warm and neatly arranged, with some curtained tables that give families or couples more privacy. A reviewer found a classic biryani portion large enough for two to three people, while another felt portions could be smaller than expected. The allergen list is a useful touch for guests managing gluten intolerance, and reviewers say spice levels can be adjusted to preference.
Timing matters. Several customers report slower or less attentive service when the restaurant is full, including a 45-minute wait and one case where the main course arrived early and became cold. Visiting around lunchtime before the crowd builds may be easier.
Mall parking is available nearby, and the restaurant has been described as wheelchair accessible. If you plan to use a Fazaa discount, confirm it before the receipt is printed, as it may not be applied afterward.
