A true staple in the west village... tiny and intimate, delicious food, fair prices, unpretentious. The owner is the nicest guy and makes great recommendations. This is a jewel in a sea of crowded, noisy over-rated restaurants.

The food at Gazab was excellent, delicious and good quality. The staff was very helpful in assisting one of our party who has Celiac and cannot eat any wheat or anything contaminated by wheat. There were many excellent choices.
