Review of Vivanta by Taj, Gurgaon

The ambience is great, as well as the food. Howeve...

The ambience is great, as well as the food. However, they can still improve on the taste. The fruits in the buffet were fresh as well as the cakes, the fish was cooked well, the chinese was also fine. But the tandoori chicken was not up to the mark in the buffet when I visited. It was cold and not as tasty as tandoori chicken should be. The dessert was quite good as well. I believe they should give more visibility to the appetizers, I found them later on after I had put my dinner on my plate.
Also, the dishes in which they serve the food are really weird. They have an earthen lid that comes off completely and it is quite confusing to figure out where to put the lid down with a plate full of food in your hand. Eventually, you'll see that there is a metal holder on the side of the pot where you have to slide in the lid vertically, so that you can serve food into your plate. Hinged lids would obviously work better.
A small inconvenience brought to light, in case they decide to aspire for perfection.
