The food was delicious. The hummus was some of the best I've ever had. The service was also great. All of the staff were very nice and they were very accommodating when our party went down to 4 people after making a reservation for 6.

Always fantastic. Best food, best service. Gazala is so kind, always smiling, always there to make sure everything is running smoothly and customers are happy. And the food is Devine. Better than anywhere in the world. See you next weekend for the best brunch in town!

I had my first experience with friends at Gazala's a couple of months ago and could not wait to bring my family back. The service was great and the food was outstanding both times! My family loved the food and my daughter cannot wait to come back. We also love supporting our Israeli owned businesses. ❤️

I used to come in often when they first opened on Amsterdam. I went today and will never come back. Please hire staff that is familiar with how the service industry works. Servers that can prioritize, great customers appropriately, and work with a sense of urgency. Also,it's important for your staff to enjoy working there. If they are not treated correctly it's very obvious to the clientele.

It's good for the area and no frills decor. The food is reasonable price and not too much with shrink-flation. But not spectacular and "need not really" to come back with mom dad and date.

Our first time at Gazala's and we were wonderfully surprised. Excellent food and unique choices. Well worth a try and come hungry.

My wife and I loved the well seasoned, artfully prepared, tasty meal. Kebab main dish, eggplant appetizer and Falafel balls different than what I've had at various middle east restaurants. Gracious, attentive service. Gets busy on weekends, recommend reservations. One of a kind NYC experience.

Wonderful, fresh, amazingly tasty and great service. It's hard to get this kind of food this good-they do a great job of using simple clean ingredients to great effect. So, so Good
A great restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is friendly. When we were there, there was a bit of a crowd waiting to get in, which is a testament to the quality of the restaurant. Once we got in, the service was very quick and friendly and the food was amazing. It was definitely worth the wait to get in.
We had a reservation but the restaurant was packed when we arrived. Line out the door - and everyone had a reservation. They completely overbooked. We had to leave since the hostess was nowhere to be found. And then they lied and checked us in!

Gazala cooks from the heart and it shows in her wonderful food.
Seating was a tad cramped due to the Saturday night crowd, we should have reserved, and we waited over 45 minutes for our shared mezze platter (order may have been lost -- we should have pestered the young woman walking the floor with the handheld order monitor). NEVERTHELESS: Our wine from the Galilee was delicious, and the enormous platter was well worth the wait. GO! We know we will be back to try the lamb.

Absolutely incredible food! If you want good middle eastern food then Gazala's is the place for you. Not often you see a Druze restaurant either!
