About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Gazala’s Restaurant is the creation of Chef/Owner Gazala Halabi, who celebrates her culinary heritage as an Israeli Druze.

    Down to earth casual neighborhood gem with delicious and authentic menu, and I dare say, the best babaganoush in the city. WOW - BYOB! Great kebabs (love the chicken & lamb), hummas, fresh baked stuffed breads (forgot the proper name) and Kenafi for dessert. ENJOY!

    Good everyday food. Not quite a pre-show dinner place.

    Great food. Tiny cozy place. Just short of a star, I had the menu at home which listed “wraps”. It did not say no wraps after 4 pm. I had planned my meal and budget around this

    Excellent Druze cuisine in a very small casual place where you can bring your own wine.

    This place is outstanding. The Boureka is a must order. The hummus is strong, as are the chicken dishes. Every bite was tasty.

    Good for a cheap bite to eat. It’s ok. Wouldn’t return. It’s nothing special.

    The food was amazing. Everything was fresh. The home made pita will prevent me from ever buying one in a store again, yum. They don't take credit cards so bring cash. It is a BYOB.

    We were a noisy bunch, but the other patrons were patient with us This is a hole-in-the-wall place serving delicious Middle Eastern food. It’s not supposed to be fancy or roomy. It’s supposed to be good. And it is.
