Gymkhana is, without question, one of the finest dining experiences in London. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a space that balances sophistication with warmth — the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel both spoiled and comfortable. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Every dish is beautifully presented, layered with flavor, and prepared with precision. The spice profiles are perfectly balanced — bold and vibrant, but never overwhelming — showcasing the very best of Indian cuisine elevated to fine dining. The tasting menus are a true journey, and each course feels like a carefully crafted story that surprises and delights. The service is equally outstanding. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about guiding you through the experience. From wine pairings to thoughtful recommendations, everything feels seamless and personal. Gymkhana isn’t just a meal — it’s an occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or simply want to indulge in one of the best restaurants the city has to offer, Gymkhana delivers on every level. A true gem in London, and an absolute must-visit.

We came here to celebrate a birthday. The service was overall friendly and helpful. The food was very hit or miss. The highlight was the lamb chop, tandoori prawns and keema. The butter chicken was awful and tasted a bit sour, a waste of 35 pounds. The starting course all came out lukewarm, not the worst but not great considering the price point. The cocktails and wines were also very good. Overall experience was OK but for a two star Michelin restaurant didn’t live up to the hype, we’ve been to our fair share of one/two stars. Also we left in the notes that it was my partners birthday but no mention of it or anything special (even though we paid for desert) which I found very disappointing.
