What to Eat at Gazebo - City Walk How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Gazebo - City Walk, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm spice. If ordering for children or spice-sensitive diners, repeat the request for non-spicy dishes when ordering.
Try outdoors. Choose outdoor seating if strong indoor food smells would bother you.
Allow time. Build in extra time if you are visiting during a busier period, as one review found service slow.
Ask advice. Ask the team to match dishes to your preferences; diners have found those recommendations useful.
Quiet timing. For a quieter meal, Sunday evening was described as unusually empty by one diner.
Mention restrictions. Tell the restaurant about dietary restrictions early so the kitchen and service team can accommodate them.

The Bottom Line
Gazebo - City Walk is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Al Wasl, serving traditional dishes in a relaxed setting. Butter chicken and biryani are the clearest starting points: reviews specifically praise the chicken tikka biryani, butter chicken and Lucknowi mutton biriyani. The large menu also gives vegetarian diners plenty of choice.
Service is one of the restaurant’s strongest draws. Several diners describe the staff as polite and attentive, with servers explaining dishes, remembering preferences and adapting food to dietary requirements. That makes the restaurant a reasonable choice for families and mixed groups, though one Christmas lunch review said the team missed a request for non-spicy dishes.
The City Walk setting gets good marks for its décor and outdoor seating. If strong indoor food smells bother you, one diner preferred sitting outside. Timing may matter too: a Sunday evening was reported as very quiet, while another visit experienced noticeably slow service.
There are a few clear cautions. One review reported sour-tasting biryani and bloody chicken, while another found the naan dry. These comments sit alongside mostly positive food feedback, so checking your order and spice level is sensible.
One discounted visit fed four people for less than AED300, suggesting good value when offers apply.
