From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

Richly deserved kudos go to Gazebo, which has retained its elevated status among the city’s curry cabal in the face of some stern competition. There’s no great mystery to why this place is still so enduringly popular after all these years – it presses all the right buttons with value-seekers everywhere by sticking to the tried and tested tenet of offering great food at rock-bottom prices.

The lengthy menu focuses on dishes from Lucknow and Hyderabad, two of India’s most renowned culinary hotspots. The food is a cut above your standard bhuna in terms of imagination; a tawa masala is laden with meaty chunks of lobster stir-fried in a curry of spring onion, tomato and black pepper, while the tender lamb in the achari gosht is fired up by a sauce of tamarind, fennel and sundried tomatoes.

On the downside, the service can be somewhat slow, and the highly spiced food is not for the faint-hearted, but for reliable tucker at low, low prices you won’t find much better.

Service is beyond any hope. The guy taking the order seems to be from another planet where kids can tolerate extremely spicy food. Food took a very long time to come and quality was nothing to shout about. I was amazed that despite such lousy service, a large part of our community still flock to this place.

By far the best Indian food, i've tasted in Dubai. Gets a bit corwded on the weekends though. Better to arrive early, to avoid the 'waiting list'. But, well worth the wait!

Undoubtedly the best Indian food in Dubai. The Galawti Kebabs, the Nalli Biriyanis, the Hyderbadi Ghosht Biriyani, the Sabz Miloni etc. are simply lip-smackingly awesome. Service could be better as it sometimes takes an age before you are served. The ambience is OK except on weekends when the place gets full and it feels noisy and crowded.

Gazebo is currently my favorite Indian Restaurant in Dubai.

The menu is simple, yet rich. The variety is outstanding. And the value is "ok".

The presentation is nice as well.

Inadvertently last time I visited, I was on a journey to get a decent meal (Indian) with adequate price.
Prices are Ok but I would not like to eat at a place which doesn't understand the basic level of customer satisfaction. Neither would I recommend it to someone
