Gabriella’s - Dunn

First visit, glad I found it for something different in the area. Ordered the Seafood Platter Jalea. Fried fish strips, fried shrimp, calamari, bay scallops, and clams fried in the shell, seasoned with Peruvian spices, and served with a red onion and tomato salsa on the side, and yuca fries (4). I poured the salsa over the fish. The lime juices, onions, and tomatoes made for a tasty condiment. I did ask for a small side of the aji amarrillo sauce to add more flavor, as the breading, although light enough to enjoy the fish, had little seasoning. Dessert, I had to try the picarones. Deep fried sweet potatoes and butternut squash donuts, served with a homemade brown sugar, clove, cinnamon, and figs syrup. The service was fine. Greeted at the door, choose any place to sit as they offer table service. They had a table of 8 when I arrived, all speaking Spanish. The server brought me sweet tea with the menu, lol. I don't drink sweet tea, so had her bring me water. I will return, more authentic dishes to try!

I had the reuben and found it delicious! A 4 or 5-star sandwich. The loss of stars comes from my mom complaining that her po' boy bread was unbuttered she's a pain in the ass, but I feel she ought to be represented in this review . Also, it was pretty damn expensive. I pin that on sleepy Joe more than the restaurant. Also, it took long af for the food to come out. Good sandwich though!

Living in the Fayetteville area for the past 8 years we have really struggled with finding restaurants that aren’t straight garbage. We had an experience with Dunn about 7 years ago that left us with the impression that Dunn was a town that had zero to offer.. welp I’m about to eat my words. Today we took Connor to Hubbs farm for the fall festival and after, I searched yelp fpr surrounding restaurants for dinner.. there were some closer spots that popped up but Gabriella mention Peruvian cuisine and the reviews were really good.. so even though we were skeptical (due to being burned by positive reviews in the past) we decided to give it a try.. this turned out to be an amazing decision.This little restaurant is a true hidden gem, it doesn’t look like much from the outside and honestly it’s modest on the inside too, but the food…. The food! OMG the FOOD!! They have an extensive yet straight forward Peruvian menu that included main ishes, soups and desserts. They also have a Jersey sandwich menu that included breakfast and they also have some Italian items as well as traditional desserts.We ordered off of the Peruvian menu “of course”Ted ordered the pollo Saltado, I got the Causa rellena and we also ordered the papas huancaina. For dessert we ordered the picarones. Everything was absolutely delicious.The presentation, the flavors, the quality. You can taste the love in this food! This is not typical food you find in Dunn or even anywhere close by! The staff is friendly the establishment is clean, the portions are big and fairly priced and I honestly cannot wait to try another item off of their menu. Seriously, try Gabriella’s you will not be disappointed! For us it’s a forty minute drive and it will be worth every minute of travel!Kid-friendliness: They had a very nice kids menu, and I asked for black beans for my son which was not on the menu and they accommodated us.

This restaurant is a true gem in the little town of Dunn, NC. What an unexpected and wonderful find. The food phenomenal. We have the ceviche, the arroz con pollo and the seafood soup. So fresh and delicious. Do yourself a favor and go enjoy a wonderful meal that will add some spice to your life! From the Houston couple passing thru!
