The Good Stuff
Biryani
Hyderabadi Biryani is repeatedly described as aromatic, flavorful and well prepared.
Tender kebabs
The Galouti Kebab was praised for its soft texture, while the Chicken Peshawari Tikka was described as juicy with a smoky char.
Warm staff
Several diners found the team attentive and welcoming, including one review praising the staff’s kindness above all else.
Family friendly
One regular found the service fast enough for dining with small children, with decent meal sizes and good value.
Spice range
The menu includes choices ranging from non-spicy and mild through to hot spicy, useful for mixed groups.
Fresh breads
Taftan was served hot and fresh in one dine-in visit, although the review says two pieces may not be enough for sharing.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check timing. Ask about preparation time before ordering: one Sunday visit was quoted 20 minutes, and other diners reported longer waits.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to find the entrance and parking; a review says the route was confusing and required walking from Marina Mall parking.
Choose outdoors. For the strongest setting, request an outside table, especially around sunset; reviews mention harbour and Burj Khalifa views.
Ask spice level. If you prefer mild food, ask about spice levels before ordering; the menu reportedly ranges from non-spicy to hot.
Confirm extras. Check whether naan, salad or fries are included: one diner was told these came separately with an additional charge.
Use Careem. A regular says paying through Careem can save 10–35%, though offers may change.

Common Concerns
Small portions
A long-time customer recently complained that the butter chicken portion had become too small to feed even a young child.
Inconsistent food
Reviews range from excellent dishes to dry paneer, flavorless tikka and hard breads, so execution appears uneven.
Slow service
One dine-in report describes 30–40-minute waits followed by cold food, while another received the wrong order after 1.5 hours.
Parking confusion
Finding the entrance and parking route can be confusing; one visitor had to walk from Marina Mall parking.
Noisy indoors
One diner found the ambience too noisy, which may matter if you want a quieter meal.

The Bottom Line
Gazebo is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Dubai Creek Harbour, with traditional dishes, a relaxed interior and outdoor tables overlooking the water. The clearest draws are the Hyderabadi Biryani, butter chicken and kebabs: diners have described the biryani as aromatic, the Galouti Kebab as melt-in-the-mouth soft and the Chicken Peshawari Tikka as juicy with a smoky char. The setting adds real value.
Outdoor diners mention the harbour, yacht marina and distant Burj Khalifa, and one review suggests visiting around sunset. Staff are often described as warm and attentive, with one family visit noting fast service and decent portions for dining with children. There is also a broad menu with spice choices from non-spicy to hot.
Consistency is the main caveat. Recent reviews mention very small butter chicken portions, dry vegetarian mains, flavorless dishes and hard or undercooked breads. Service has also ranged from quick to 30–40-minute waits with cold food, so ask about timing before ordering.
Delivery feedback includes a delayed order and poor food quality. Parking and the entrance can be confusing, and diners have reported walking from Marina Mall parking. Check what comes with grilled dishes, since naan, salad and fries may cost extra.
One review reported an AED 25 mango cheesecake; treat that as a customer-reported price, not a current menu listing.
