It was a really nice experience. The space was huge and good sanitation maintained. The buffet was huge and simply wonderful with the kind of varieties it had. We also had the breakfast which has great options including both Indian as well as English breakfast ! Very comfortable & good place. We ordered a thing from their menu which turned out to be fantastic !!!

I have been having daily breakfast buffet at Citrine since the last 10 days of my stay at Taj Gateway and I have had a wonderful time here. The food, the spread and the service is impeccable! I also had the dinner buffet 3 nights back and the food was as expected wonderful! The pricing of 999 all inclusive is very optimal too considering the variety of dishes served and obviously the Taj quality. This is definitely a must-visit place.

Gateway hotel have provide good service, good food and one of the most important good behaviour of staff and Atmosphere

Nice ambience, very friendly staff.. didn't enjoy the buffet though. Some of the vessels were empty and never got re-filled.
