| 1: | rasheen harilall: Excellent food, great service and good ambience at a fabulous price! We enjoyed dinner at Simply indian on 2 consecutive nights. The dosa was paper thin, crisp and filled with the most delectable potato filling. The pani puri came beautifully presented with 2 chutneys – a must try. The pav bhaji was the highlight – buttery buns and a rich bhaji. Vegetarians and carnivores have a wide range of options available. Try the tandoori chai- it’s served with a performance that’s quite impressive. Meal type Dinner Price per person AED 1–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 |

| 3: | Khalaf Alkaabi: We’ve been eating at Gazebo for quite a long time. This is our first visit to this branch that has opened only two weeks ago. We find it with the same known quality of service, taste of food, and cozy atmosphere that Gazebo has been known for. We ordered lamb biryani and chicken butter. The rice at the bottom of the pot was a bit soggy as the broth was too light. The butter chicken was too sweet and had less taste of spices. This wasn’t the case in any other branch we visited before, but understandable given it’s just opened. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person AED 150–200 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 |

We feel some masala smell . The pirces are little har. 2. The mutton gravy is little sweet, but the pieces are juicy which will melt in your mouth within seconds. 2. The humour fillet was good in taste without mistakes. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch |

If you are with your family then you would love the ambiance of the place as its calm, and perfect for any family outing. The staffs are also very friendly.. If your in doubt about good North Indian restaurant in Al Ain, I would highly recommend you to try out Curry Pot if you have not yet tried. |
