Experience the epitome of luxury dining at The Gateway Resort in Gurgaon| Food review

Food Overview: We recently had the pleasure of visiting The Gateway Resort on Damdama Lake, Gurugram, and we must say, it was truly a remarkable dining experience. As a Taj property, the resort lives up to its prestigious brand status and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Upon entering the resort, we were immediately captivated by the expansive green landscape and sprawling lawns, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for a getaway with family and friends.

During our visit, we had the opportunity to dine at the resort’s restaurant called Buzz, a multi-cuisine restaurant specializing in traditional North Indian and Mughlai dishes. The menu offered an extensive selection of mouth watering dishes ranging from Paneer Tikka Shashlik and Murgh Zafrani Tikka to Mutton Rogan Josh and Fish Curry. However, the culinary highlight of our experience was the Mutton Nihari.

Led by Chef Sanjay Mathur, a seasoned Taj chef with over two decades of experience, the mutton nihari was a revelation. The meat was incredibly tender, tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of spices that sparked lively conversation at our table. The dish showcased a delicious blend of cardamom, cinnamon, chillies, bay leaves, nutmeg, yogurt and gulab jal, while the addition of saffron added an exotic and aromatic flavour. It really was a meat lover’s dream.

In addition to the remarkable Mutton Nihari, we were also treated to other mouth-watering dishes. The Dal Makhani, a velvety black lentil dish topped with cream, was rich and comforting. The Paneer Pasanda in palak curry offered a vegetarian alternative to the traditional meat pasanda, with cheese smothered in a flavorful gravy.

And of course the chicken biryani was a real highlight. Made with fragrant basmati rice, succulent chicken pieces and an array of aromatic spices, the biryani was a masterpiece in itself. Each bite was a burst of flavours, complemented by tender chicken and fluffy rice.

To complete our culinary journey, we indulged in a classic Tiramisu for dessert. The genoise cake layers brushed with espresso and filled with creamy coffee mascarpone cream were irresistible and made for a sweet conclusion to our meal.

Throughout our dining experience, The Gateway Resort staff were courteous and helpful, making sure every need was met. The combination of exceptional food, scenic surroundings and attentive service made for a memorable visit.

In addition to the excellent dining options, the resort offers a wide variety of recreational activities, including rappelling, volleyball, soccer and ziplining, further enhancing the overall experience for guests. With its 78 luxurious rooms and suites, each with scenic pool, garden or courtyard views, The Gateway Resort is undoubtedly a top choice for a luxurious and rejuvenating retreat.

Pronunciation: The Gateway Resort on Damdama Lake, Gurgaon, is a haven for foodies seeking an exceptional culinary experience. With its diverse menu of North Indian and Mughlai delights, highlighted by the unforgettable Mutton Nihari and delectable chicken biryani, this resort delivers on its promise of luxury and gastronomic delight.
