What to Avoid (9)

Food 9

  1. Biryani Net −1
    “The biryani, a dish Gazebo was once known for, was disappointingly dry and completely lacked the rich, aromatic flavors typically found even in smaller orders.”
  2. Chicken samosa Net −1
    “Had ordered chicken samosa online and they were completely saltless… when called and informed the silicon oasis branch of Gazebo, instead of accepting it, they said they will advise the chef, that’s it.. what about the saltless samosa delivered to us?”
  3. Garlic naan Net −1
    “the garlic naan (9 bucks each) was as good as eating rubber.”
  4. Malai kofta Net −1
    “I ordered Malai kofta,but it was a disaster.I wanted to try their kunafah cheese cake but after having this malai kofta there wasnt reason to order dessert as they already gave me sweetest malai kofta .”
  5. Mixed vegetables and paneer Net −1
    “What was supposed to be distinct preparations of mixed vegetables and paneer tasted identical, as if one was merely an uninspired extension of the same bland masala.”
  6. Paneer makhni Net −1
    “Food quality and taste needs to improve. I order paneer makhni and it was sweet all you taste is sugar.”
  7. Paneer tikka Net −1
    “Also the paneer tikka was just bland with just turmeric marinated paneer.”
  8. Panner malai tikka Net −1
    “Ordered in. Terribly upset about the food, there was literally only 5 pingy pieces of panner Malai Tikka!”
  9. Reshmi paratha Net −1
    “The reshmi paratha , was so crunchy, def not reshmi. Disappointed. Craving ruined.”

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.
