| 1: | Adeel shafiq: Great tasting food. Paya I was served wasn’t Mutton / lamb, it was bong paya. Still, it was great. One thing to note is that they don’t serve Naan, only Paratha which itself was good. The seating isn’t good enough, small space but if it’s not busy, you can suffice. The prices are very economical so there are really no complaints. It’s more a Cafe than a restaurant and is quite new. But no excuse for not maintaining top notch hygiene.

| 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 |

| 1: | Elena Zaaba: We ordered two types of biryanis. The chicken Bombay biryani was so good. The chicken pieces were tender and seasoned well. The temperature of the dish was also perfect. The mutton hydrabadi biryani was also good, but if I were to order again I’d definitely go for chicken. Our overall experience was good. Just that we would like to kindly request the management to clean the curtain at the family area. The kids must have touched the curtain with their biryani stained hands.

| 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 |

| 3: | Geraldine Gregorio: First time diner here. Very nice ambiance, interior and nice staff esp. Eizel very accomodating and always smiling. Food was good, we ordered salad, lamb makboos, Dubai tower pizza and LA bolognese. The calamari was crispy and light and the breading is just right, my kids liked it a lot. Lamb was also moist and the rice was seasoned right. Pizza was okay, it was thin and crispy with the right amount of cheese and sauce. It was baked in brick oven that’s why it has burnt edges which I really liked, although it was a little bit too toasted for my liking but overall it was tasty. The portions were huge for us 4, and we had to take home some of it. The interiors were really nice and my kids said it feels like dining in a jungle! They really love it! They have also private areas for families so you can have a intimate dinner with privacy too. We are going back to try the desserts and the Barbie menu soon.
