We had the absolute worst experience. We showed up on the time of our reservation and the server said we had to wait for 30 more minutes for our table to be ready because previous parties were staying for longer than their seating time. We waiting and when a table opened up it was too small for our party of 5 and the manager said that they will be unable to seat us that evening. We had to leave the restaurant unable to have dinner anywhere else because all the other restaurants were completely booked up. It was the most frustrating experience and I do not recommend that anyone ever visit Gazab.

Worst place and worst service. Don’t book this place. Despite having a confirmed reservation with credit card on account these guys made me wait for 40 mins and at the end made excuse that they have earlier people waiting on tables and excused themselves with no recourse. These guys destroyed my evening and I strongly suggest no one ever visit this place. Worst worst worst people and service.

This is one of the most interesting and authentic Central North Indian dishes serving restaurant… we tried the recently added thecha paneer which was perfectly spiced and flavorful… along with that the prawn ghee roast… the masala of the ghee roast was delicious and the most famous dish on the menu … lemon chicken curry and lauki kofta curry… it was flavorful and perfectly balanced … each bite feels so homely and warmth… the chefs really know what they are they cooking here.. the desert was equally amazing Crème brûlée with gulaab jamun.. the staff/servers are so hospitable and welcoming and generous… it’s a must go spot for a good Indian food. Looking forward to try their biryani and lamb curry…

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in New York. We waited over 30 minutes just to be seated, and then an even longer wait for our food. Service was essentially nonexistent — we were given one glass of water and never offered refills or any follow-up at all. The lack of attention made the entire meal frustrating rather than enjoyable. Truly terrible service, and I wouldn’t recommend coming here.
