The talk of the town, this luxurious property is built near Gandhinagar Railway Station and enjoys a separate entry and exit to and from the Hotel via specially constructed Bridges. It is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is a magnanimous property.
Citrus An elegant Restaurant nestled in the beautiful property of Leela Gandhinagar, the entrance has some bright yellow chandeliers and the interiors are inspired by The Indian Railways the red walls, the food counters are similar to train bougies and there are so many wall hangings as well.
The Staff is well mannered and extremely courteous they ensure that you have a satisfactory meal and do not miss out on anything. It is very spacious it can house around 200 people at a time for a meal.
Talking about the food spread, where do I begin there were so many options to pick from that it left me confused. The food array included Mediterranean, Indian, Italian, Teppenyaki, Italian so clearly covered all the cuisines. Near the entrance they have a spread of the Middle Eastern cuisine three different types of Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Tatzikki a couple other dips and plenty if salad options wherein they showcase an expertise in Vegetable cutting making it look elegant on that plate. A separate NVeg counter for eggs and meat plus seafood for those who love to indulge.

Read moreThere is a mix of reason why i have given 4 stars to the Citrus Junction at The Leela. I had the opportunity to go at this place and found the food to be at sub par levels during the lunch hour. Please note while ordering pasta, you need to tell it to the waiter that pasta needs to be more cooked and not the Italian way or else be served with pasta tasting like an undercooked dish. The pizza live station needs much more flavor and attention, but the most unique live counter i did not expect was the khichdi live counter.

Desserts alone could've pushed the review to a 4 star in food as well, had there not been pena colada sorbet which did not impress.

There sweets were amazing being - anjeer ka halwa, chocolate pudding, the strawberry pastry- every single one of them were...
Read moreRecently I visited this Citrus Junction, The Leela, Gandhinagar with our group of friends. We enjoyed dinner in this multicusine vegetarian & non vegetarian buffet. One of the largest menu like Salads, Soups, Mocktail, Starters, Main course vegetable, Indian breads, Dal & Rice, sweet dish and ice creams. Slightly slow table service and also need some details about dishes on the serving table.
Overall a place which is bit heavy on pocket but worth the hype because of quality, quantity, hospitality and flavours they use for the food.
