Ghazal

TOP NOTCH. The food is incredible. Service is also incredible. Got the chicken kadai with butter garlic naan with breyani rice. 10/10 you will not be disappointed.

A great restaurant for authentic Indian food. The choice of dishes is vast. Each dish cooked to perfection. Service is quick and efficient. Food is perfectly spiced. And you can choose the level of heat - mild, medium or hot. We enjoyed the palak paneer and the prawn khorma the most.

The restaurant is large and tastefully decorated. Ordered the Kashmiri naan, which was soft and light with the traditional hint of sweet. It paired beautifully with the spicy chicken tikka starter. The main was the chef's special, chili chicken, which was tasty, combining tangy, slightly sweet, and chili. None of the flavors were overpowering but the chicken was too hard and could be more tender. The service was excellent and attentive.

Ghazal is our regular restaurant to have a good/ authentic Indian cuisine. Food always delishious, service great And today, Thank you Jimmy for A good bottle of wine,flowers and cake with candles for my Birthday Much appreciated

The food was absolutely delicious! I had a chicken korma which was a bit on the sweeter side, but it was prepared well. The serve could have been faster, but very friendly staff! The naan bread was one of the best I've had...

Ghazal is a North Indian style Indian restaurant in Johannesburg. They have two branches, one in Bryanston and another in Melrose Arch. This is a review of their Bryanston branch. The menu is very similar at both places. First: It’s a restaurant, so food. The menu is not very extensive and has dishes that I think is what Westerners think Indian food is, so think kormas, biryanis, butter chicken etc. The food is definitely not authentic but the quality and quantity are good. The ingredients whether they be the chicken, mutton or paneer are very good quality. The sauces and marinades are flavourful but more muted as they cater towards non Indians. They also have an extensive wine selection but not sure if they have a sommelier who can make recommendations. Second: Service is mostly good and quick. Even when the restaurant is busy, food comes out quite quickly. One thing I did take umbrage to is, I noticed a lot of people ordering way too much food for themselves but the waiters never advised them of the fact. A general rule of thumb for Indian restaurant food is that one dish is enough for 2 people. So a curry should serve 2, a bread like naan should also be enough for 2 people. Atmosphere: The restaurant is quite dark in the evening with muted lights and dark decor. So if you like intimate then you will like it. Prices: Slightly on the higher side as compared to other Indian restaurants. But they are value for money as the portions are big and good quality produce is used. Overall, a good place to start your culinary journey to Indian cuisine.

Very good and [hot] food. Some dishes take longer than others, I believe the Lamb Biriany was the case. Restaurant was crowded [a bit noisy (82dB)] became quieter at mid-end. The dinning room was Coltishall [main door was open], by the end of our dinner they brought a heater [too late, it should have been there from the start]. We enjoyed very much the food and the staff was friendly and efficient.
