What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Gazala's Place in the 'International Eats' episode (aired 2012-06-18), where Guy Fieri sampled the restaurant's traditional Druze and Middle Eastern dishes. Gazala's, run by chef Gazala Halabi, has operated as a Middle Eastern restaurant at 447 Amsterdam Avenue on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The restaurant's original web domain, gazalasrestaurant.com, now redirects to an unrelated website, but the business remains listed as active on several ordering and reservation platforms. A Yelp listing for the Amsterdam Avenue address, updated April 2026, shows 216 reviews and hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Grubhub and Seamless also list the restaurant as currently accepting delivery orders from the same address, and OpenTable lists it for reservations.
