The review is based on buffet dinner which I had there.
Ambience: The place is located in the lobby area of courtyard Marriott. The place is beautifully done with lots of comfortable seating all around. The Staff is courteous, warm and very helpful.
Food: The Buffet is quite expansive with lots of cuisines and options to try. Having said that what let me down was the specific taste of things which I feel is more geared for the Non-Indian clientele. There were few stand out items which are very good like the Hummus, Chat counter (The staff made a delectable plate of dhai puri for us), the assortment of Biryani’s (Veg, Chicken and Mutton) with perfect salan’s to accompany it. There is a live counter for Pizza which makes fresh pizza’s (vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian) the staff made a delicious veggie pizza for us.
There are options of salads, cold cuts and cheeses (only 2 to 3 types of cheeses available) as well which were fine but nothing outstanding. One of the major let down was that the starters both Veg and Non Veg were cold.
In Main course we had option of Indian, Chinese and Continental food. Here the stand out was the Murgh Makhani and the fresh bread basket which the staff got for us. Although I am a great fan of Chinese and continental food (prefer to eat it more than indian) but here none of the dishes looked appetizing. In a buffet you eat more with your eyes.
There were a lot of options of deserts ( different types of cakes , pastries, baked yoghurt, rasgulla, mousse), as well but what I liked the most was the simple vanilla ice cream with topping of flaked almonds. The other deserts were ok but nothing looked out of the world or simply sinful to indulge in.
All in all the place is decent with lots of options. I expected more from a Marriott property and maybe that’swhy I was a...

Read moreWazwan - by now we all have become fan of kashmiri food. Specially rishta, ghustaba, -tabakmaz, haq and other dishes. Therefore, you must be wondering what I ate last night. Well, the chutneys/dips were new. The red pumpkin dip, and the wild berry dip was new and refreshing. In addition, the mutton kanti was the star dish of the day! It is very close to our tawa mutton with Bell pepper and onions. The waza Chef Tariq Ahmad came from Kashmir to host the 2 weeks long Kashmiri food festival at courtyard by marriott Gurugram downtown. The ghustaba was soft and flavourful, one of the best that I have eaten. The fish in tomato gravy (munjh gaadh) was outstanding. The yakhni pulao has the right flavor and the khatte baingan and nadru were outstanding too
This Kashmiri food festival is highly recommended and you will love the conversation with Chef Tariq. Courtyard by marriott Gurugram has been one of my favorites for a long time and I always love...
