“We headed to Gazebo Restaurant in DSO to try their legendary Dumpukht Biryani and melt-in-your-mouth Galawati Kababs – and wow, it’s next-level delicious! 🤤🔥 The slow-cooked biryani is packed with rich spices, tender meat, and fragrant rice, while the kababs are so soft, they practically dissolve! If you’re a fan of royal Mughlai cuisine, this is a must-try spot. ✨”October 2024

Cheese Nan was my favorite though. Highly recommended for authentic desi delicasies”

Allow time. For dine-in or takeaway, allow extra time: multiple reviews mention 30-minute waits and orders taking over an hour.
Ask for heat. If you prefer stronger spice, ask for it explicitly; one table requested extra-spicy food and liked the result.
Check discounts. Ask about available discount options before settling the bill, as one diner was unaware until it was suggested.
Verify delivery. For delivery, check the seasoning when the order arrives; a customer reported completely saltless chicken samosas.
Choose carefully. The menu can be rewarding, but reviews vary by dish; consider asking for recommendations before ordering unfamiliar items.

Several reviews report waits of 30 minutes to more than an hour, including when the restaurant was quiet.
Some diners found dishes overly sweet, bland or lacking biryani fragrance, so consistency appears variable.
One customer described the portions as very low and unsatisfying, particularly after paying for a meal.
A delivered chicken samosa order was described as completely saltless, with the response leaving the customer dissatisfied.
A lunch review alleged that the fish was stale and that the food no longer tasted as it had previously.
The Bottom Line
Gazebo is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis with a relaxed, intimate dining room. It suits diners looking for familiar Indian comfort food as well as more traditional Mughlai-style dishes. The menu gives you plenty to explore, but the reviews suggest choosing thoughtfully rather than ordering at random.
Biryani is a major draw. Customers mention Dum Subz Biryani, Kacche Murgh ki biryani, chicken, shrimp and mushroom versions, with some praising their distinct flavours and aromatic rice. Butter chicken, Kalimirch Paneer Tikka Masala and melt-in-the-mouth kebabs also receive strong praise.
Vegetarian diners have enjoyed Taftan, mushroom starters and vegetarian biryani. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as comfortable, calming and suitable for family meals or unhurried conversation. Service can be warm and knowledgeable, and staff have helped diners choose dishes and quantities.
Spice levels can also be adjusted: one table asked for extra-spicy food and felt it was handled well. The main caution is inconsistency. Several reviews report waits of 30 minutes to over an hour, while others describe bland, overly sweet or dry dishes, small portions and one stale-fish meal.
Delivery seasoning has also been criticised. Ask about discount options before paying, and allow extra time if you are ordering during a busy period.
