GALA Restaurant offers a dining experience that combines comforting flavours, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. With branches at 5A, Mall of Arabia, and its newly opened location in Marassi on the North Coast, there are plenty of ways to enjoy its menu. From freshly baked focaccia to creamy pasta and fragrant curry, our meal had plenty of highlights that made the visit one to remember.

The Focaccia Bread

We started with the focaccia, which immediately set the tone for the meal. Fresh, soft, and wonderfully fragrant, it had a satisfying golden crust while remaining fluffy inside. It was the perfect starter to share before moving on to the main courses. It comes free with every meal.

The Salmon Pasta

The salmon pasta (EGP 461) was one of the standout dishes of the evening. The pasta was cooked well, while the creamy sauce complemented the salmon without overpowering its flavour. It was comforting, filling, and balanced enough to make it an easy recommendation for pasta lovers.

The Chicken Curry with Coconut and Rice

For something more aromatic, we tried the chicken curry with coconut and rice (EGP 447). The curry had a lovely combination of creamy coconut and warm spices, while the tender chicken paired beautifully with the fluffy rice. It offered a nice change from the richer pasta dish.

The Service

Good food becomes even better when paired with attentive service, and GALA delivered on that front. The staff were friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout the meal, creating a relaxed experience without being intrusive. The overall service added to the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere.

As a final note, if you are looking for a relaxed meal with good food, friendly service, and dishes worth coming back for, Gala is a solid choice!
