I have dined here several times and the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere lovely & convivial, and the service friendly and smooth. David, the server, is especially good and makes the evening fun while making me and other guests feel cared for. I look forward to many more dining experiences here.

The service was attentive. Lamb shish cooked medium as recommended was excellent in taste and texture. Was not overdone. Rice and labneh could be more flavorful. Hummus was solid. Salad with pear and arugula was great. Another person had falafel plate and said it was excellent. Music was enjoyable and not overpowering but we were there on the early side

Our party of two enjoyed a quiet lunch at noon on a weekday. The food was excellent, with many options, and it was a great value overall. This was my first time eating at the restaurant, as opposed to ordering in, and Gazalas did not disappoint. I'm looking forward to going back soon, perhaps in the evening, when I imagine there'd be a livelier atmosphere.
