About Gazab

Modern Indian cuisine

Located at 179 Essex St, New York, NY 10002, Gazab operates as an indian restaurant serving New York in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as biryani restaurant, caterer, cocktail bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In New York, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across New York run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 5–9:30 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Gazab at (917) 388-2664; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, gazabnyc.co.

Overall great experience! Rich and flavorful food with some more traditional feels. Ordered 3 shared plates, 1 taste and two naan which was enough for 4 people. The service was amazing. Friendly staff and gave our dog some water and chicken! Atmosphere was also perfect. The music here was at a great level. A pet peeve of mine is when it’s too loud, but it was perfect here for conversation.

Have been wanting to try Gazab since they opened and finally went last night. It is pretty small inside so definitely make a reservation if you can. Every dish was a hit, but the paneer, pani puri and cauliflower really stood out from the starters, and the lemon chicken and the lamb shank were our favorites from the shared plates. The dishes were unmistakably Indian, but were very unique. Spice levels were spot on and the flavors were really nicely balanced. The service was also great. They gave great advice on what and how much to order, so don’t worry if you are not sure what you would get. Highly recommend and will 100% be back.

We had a wonderful experience at Gazab Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors and great attention to detail in every dish. Everything we tried was well-balanced and beautifully presented. A special thanks to Chef Aman for the dahi kebab—it was truly outstanding! Soft, creamy, and full of flavor, definitely one of the highlights of our meal. The service was warm and welcoming, and the overall ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality Indian food in NYC. Will definitely be coming back!

I recently visited Gazab and had such a great experience. I wanted my friend to try authentic Indian food, and this place truly delivered. The dal Bukhara was the highlight for me. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor, just like back home in India. The Kasauli lemon chicken was my friend’s favorite; the chicken was incredibly tender and full of flavor. We also tried the bok choy chaat, which was a pleasant surprise- crispy, unique, and really well balanced. The tandoori pineapple was another standout, with a perfect mix of sweet and spicy. On top of that, the portion sizes are generous, making it great value for money- we even had leftovers to take home. Overall, a wonderful experience with delicious food. I’ll definitely be coming back!
