We had an incredible dining experience at Gymkhana. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and perfectly balanced.
A special thank you to our amazing waiter, Dhiraj, whose hospitality truly elevated our evening. He was attentive, warm, and made us feel so welcome. His recommendations were spot on and added to the overall experience.
From the ambiance to the impeccable service and unforgettable food, everything was outstanding. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Well deserved Michelin stars.
The flavours are so bold and strong.
Loved the salmon and world famous butter chicken.
Can’t recommend enough if you can get the reservation.
We had the lunch set menu.
My partner is ga-ga over the kheer.

A superb lunch at two Michelin-starred Gymkhana.
We’ve been coming here since the restaurant first opened in 2013 and have seen it go from strength to strength.
The set lunch menu is superb. Fantastic, flavoursome, well spiced food, and lots of it too.
Service was both professional and friendly, with the dining room maintaining the positive vibe it’s always had.
A lovely lunch. We will be back again soon, no doubt.

It’s a well discussed place in London for Indian food.
Always fully booked
If walk in u might get the bar counter table downstairs if lucky
Atmosphere is beautiful high end bond street type of luxury restaurant decoration
Staff are very nice and attending
Good service
Good. Prob something people can debate.
I had the famous Lamb Chop and Butter chicken curry and bread and rice
Well. In general it’s salty to me
Especially the lamb
Chicken. I feel just a bit over cooked so texture is a bit rough on my dishes. Taste and curry ok
So, it’s not the best Indian food I had in town but ok
It’s expensive in someway
Not bad experience

Gymkhana is simply extraordinary. It had been recommended to us by an Indian friend who told us it was the best Indian restaurant he had ever eaten at in the world, and now we completely understand why.
Getting a reservation is very difficult, but we finally managed to secure one and enjoyed a truly memorable family dinner. From the very beginning, the service was flawless. Our waiter did an incredible job, and there was also someone we believe to be the service leader, Denzel, who delivered an outstanding level of attention with amazing recommendations that elevated the entire experience.
Every single dish was delicious. The entire menu is absolutely recommended. All the sauces taste incredibly fresh, clearly made daily, full of depth and balance. The way they cook the chicken and the lamb is exceptional. We are not usually lamb eaters, but this was without a doubt the best lamb I have ever had in my life. Perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor.
The salads, cocktails, and desserts were all outstanding. Not a single dish disappointed us. Every bite confirmed the level of excellence this restaurant delivers.
Gymkhana is not just a dinner, it is a complete gastronomic experience. An absolutely recommended, extraordinary place with exceptional food, service, and consistency. A restaurant that truly stays with you and one you will always want to return to.

On 29 January, my friend and I visited Gymkhana in London to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and it turned into a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, elegant, and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. We started with cocktails, and both the Masala Margarita and the Bhang Lassi were outstanding—full of character, perfectly balanced, and honestly among the best cocktails we’ve ever had.We explored the menu and ordered a wide selection of starters, including Duck Egg Bhurji, Lobster, Amritsari Shrimp & Queenies, and Beetroot Chops Pao. Every single starter was packed with flavour and beautifully executed. The Duck Egg Bhurji was rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced. The Amritsari Shrimp & Queenies were crisp, flavourful, and cooked to perfection and the Beetroot Chops Pao were creative, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. All of the starters were exceptional and are easily our all-time favourites.For mains, we chose the signature Tandoori Masala Lamb Chops and the Chicken Butter Masala. The lamb chops were incredibly juicy with a deep, smoky flavour and cooked to perfection. The chicken butter masala had a rich, creamy gravy with a subtle charcoal finish and paired beautifully with the freshly baked naan.Dessert was the Rasgulla Tiramisu, a unique and delightful fusion that ended the meal perfectly. The service was spectacular, especially from William, Denise, Anfisa, Switzerland, Lloyd and the entire Gymkhana team, who made us feel genuinely looked after throughout the evening. The birthday candle with chocolate mousse and a signed postcard from the Gymkhana team was a thoughtful and memorable touch. We enjoyed every moment and will definitely be returning.

I finally got a reservation at Gymkhana a few weeks ago and it was well worth the wait. The reservation was among the last for the night (around 10:15 pm) but the place was still vibrant when I got there. For appetizers I had the Aloo chaat and for the main course I had the chicken dum biryani. Both dishes were excellent. The portions are colossal so ensure you are starving before you get here. The service was exceptional and I had multiple folks checking on me at regular intervals to make sure I had everything I needed. All in all, it was a very fun dinner and I can’t wait to return.

We visited Gymkhana for lunch and opted for the lunch set menu for two. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing, which is clearly the core part of the lunch set menu concept.
The butter chicken was rich and flavourful, and the bread basket complemented everything beautifully. The aloo chaat starter was another highlight incredibly tasty and the perfect way to start the meal.
We also tried the Goat Methi Keema and Salmon Tikka, which were slightly saltier than our preference not bad by any means, but we personally prefer a milder seasoning. The Falooda dessert was decent but not particularly memorable compared to the rest of the dishes. For that reason, we would rate the food 4/5 overall, while still acknowledging that several dishes were outstanding.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. They took the time to explain each dish as it was served, which added a thoughtful touch to the whole experience. We were there for a birthday celebration and to our surprise, they brought out a birthday cake and a greeting card such a lovely gesture!
Overall, we left very happy. Great food, great service and a memorable experience. It is slightly on the expensive side, but definitely worth trying at least once. Highly recommended!

Got last minute lunch res few days before for 2:30PM. If you want to do full tasting menu, have to get there earlier. Did lunch set for 70 pounds which is good rec to try bit of everything. Chicken tikka starter is good w/ smoky flavor. Chicken butter Marsala maybe one of the best versions of butter chicken I’ve had for balance of creaminess spices and touch of sweet. Liked the spice blend on the Tandoor lamb chops but maybe wasn’t biggest fan of the bite texture. Masala margarita is solid.
Overall, quite enjoyed the experience. Don’t think I would personally rate 2 Michelin stars, albeit not able to try full tasting menu. Would say to expect Gymkhana to be like an Indian Carbone, good 1 star w/ elevated classics done well in a nicer modern atmosphere. Service was great, front desk had fastest phone charger I’ve ever used at a restaurant.

My husband and I visited during our honeymoon from America, and this was our first dinner after arriving in London. We booked about two months in advance, and even with a late 10:30pm reservation, we were excited to make it special.
The food was good, but for a 2-Michelin-star restaurant, it felt simpler than we expected. The space is quite small, with tables very close together, which made the seating a bit uncomfortable and limited table space for the dishes.
Service was pleasant, and while the pricing is expected for a Michelin restaurant, the overall experience didn’t quite feel worth it for us. We truly wanted to love it, but it didn’t fully meet our expectations for such a special occasion.
