"At Gazala’s, you’ll eat a lot of different things, but that’s mostly because you’ll look at a friend’s plate and say something along the lines of, “Are you going to finish that?” Hopefully you have generous friends. This UWS spot is perfect for group dinners, it’s about as casual as a living room, and the Middle Eastern food is very good. Get a mezze platter with a bunch of dips and fried appetizers for the table, then just pick a big dish that you won’t mind sharing a few bites of." - bryan kim
