Gymkhana: Michelin-Starred Indian Elegance in Mayfair

Set in the heart of Mayfair, Gymkhana offers a refined dining experience inspired by the elite clubs of colonial India where high society would gather to socialize, dine, and play sport. This exceptional establishment has earned its prestigious Two Michelin Stars through its masterful execution of contemporary Indian cuisine using seasonal British ingredients.

A Distinctive Dual-Level Experience

Gymkhana's two floors offer distinct yet equally captivating atmospheres. The ground floor, adorned in jade green and polished dark timber, draws inspiration from the residential mansions of Kolkata and Pondicherry. Descend the mirrored staircase to discover the lower ground floor with its vivid palette of peach and Kashmiri chili red, subtly incorporating elements of north-Indian architecture. Throughout the restaurant, authentic touches like hunting trophies from the Maharaja of Jodhpur create an immersive colonial-era ambiance.

Signature Dishes Worth Savoring

The menu showcases northern Indian cuisine with a contemporary twist, focusing on tandoor and sharing plates. Standout dishes include:

  • Tandoori Masala Lamb Chops - Consistently praised as exceptionally meaty and perfectly spiced
  • Kid Goat Methi Keema - A rich minced goat dish with fenugreek, served with pao bread
  • Duck Egg Bhurji with Lobster - A luxurious scrambled egg preparation served with Malabar paratha
  • Wild Muntjac Biryani - An elevated take on the classic rice dish
  • Pork Cheek Vindaloo - A sophisticated interpretation of the fiery Goan classic

Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, with halal-certified chicken, lamb, and goat dishes for those with dietary requirements.

Private Dining & Special Occasions

For intimate gatherings, Gymkhana offers two Private Vaults on the lower ground floor, each seating up to 10 guests. For larger celebrations, the exclusive '42' space above the restaurant provides a private dining experience for up to 16 guests, complete with its own entrance and bar area.

Whether you're seeking an exceptional business lunch, romantic dinner, or celebratory meal, Gymkhana delivers a memorable dining experience that honors India's culinary heritage while embracing contemporary British influences.
