What to Avoid (3)

Food 3

Nihari Net −1

“The food and service were disappointing. The Nihari lacked the authentic taste expected, and even a roadside Biryani would have surpassed theirs.”
Prawns masala biryani Net −1

“Recently I had prawns masala biryani, no taste at all rice half boled and it's look s they mixed basmati biled rice with prawns curry, very disappointed”
Xxxl murkh tikka biryani Net −1

“I recently ordered the XXXL Murkh Tikka Biryani from Gazebo for AED 405, expecting a generous portion worthy of its price tag. However, the experience was nothing short of a letdown. Despite the hefty price, the quantity of chicken was shockingly low—less than 1 kg in an XXXL serving! For a dish that is supposed to cater to a large group, this was outright unacceptable. It felt more like a massive serving of rice with a token amount of chicken rather than a proper biryani. To make matters worse, the quality and taste did not justify the cost. The flavors were underwhelming, and it lacked the signature rich taste Gazebo is known for. The balance between meat and rice was completely off, making the dish feel incomplete. For the price of AED 405, I expected far better quantity and quality. Sadly, this felt like an overpriced gimmick rather than a premium dish. If you’re looking for a hearty, well-balanced biryani, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. Rating: 1/5 – Overpriced, disappointing, and not worth it.”

The Bottom Line

Gazebo in DIFC is a contemporary Indian restaurant with a relaxed, polished atmosphere and a menu that covers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diners. The clearest reasons to consider it are the biryanis, North Indian kebabs and familiar favourites such as butter chicken. Several reviews describe the biryani as fragrant and well spiced, served in sealed pots; others enjoyed mutton, chicken and prawn versions.

The setting is one of its stronger points. Diners describe it as calm, clean and slightly fine-dining without being stiff, making it workable for a quiet dinner or discreet business lunch. Service is often called attentive and quick, and one reviewer was seated and served promptly at lunch.

The food is not universally consistent, though: separate reviews report bland chicken biryani, half-cooked rice in a prawn masala biryani and boiled meat mixed with rice. One customer also alleged finding an insect in a biryani, a serious but isolated report. First-time visitors should ask about spice levels, particularly when ordering for children.

From the SZR-facing side of the DIFC village, follow the marble path to find the restaurant. Arriving early is sensible because one reviewer says it fills up after 1pm and at dinner, with no reservations. Chai comes unsweetened, allowing you to adjust it yourself.
