“ Great great meal. The food is as close as it gets to food at home. Nofuss, authentic and genuinely delicious. Our experience was even better thanks to our serverbartender Neil. ”
“ Some of the best Indian food Ive ever had. Every bite is a perfectly balanced explosion of flavours on the palette. Service from the staff is exceptional. The ambience is excellent, not loud whatsoever. The seating separation is perfect. ”
“ Hands down the best Indian weve ever had. Deserving of all the awards and accolades. The lunch menu at 60 is amazing value for money with great portion sizes. We could not finish and our doggy bag had us covered for dinner. The service is very careful and professional but without pompous Michelin star distance. Will visit again with absolutely no doubt. ”
“ Wow, what a meal. This was by far the best Indian restaurant we have been. Everything was excellent but there were a couple of highlights. The lamb chops were out of this world, smoky flavor and absolute tender taste. Second, the shrimps had a nice bite and still soft with an incredible seasoning. The naan was the best naan ever, full stop. The butter chicken, such a rich tomato flavor. Cocktails were incredible and so refreshing! I would definitely come back. ”
“ I came here for a Valentines Day dinner with my husband. He had booked it back in November and was only able to get a 1030 reservation, so we already had high expectations from the get go given such limited slots. We arrived early and asked if we could get seated earlier and staff member kind of just left us waiting outside which wasnt the best first start. As it was a cold night we just decided to go back in and the maitre de welcomed us in politely and was able to seat us straight away and we got our menus. Although we booked for the Valentines Day tasting menu, we were still able to order from main dinner menu and so I swapped my set dessert for the Rasmalai as I am not a fan of Gajar Halwa which was the only nonalcoholic dessert option out of the two on the set menu. We ordered the nonalcoholic drinks from the menu and I was slightly disappointed both in presentation and in taste. Ive attached photos. Mine was just a weak rose drink in a martini glass with a one loose rose petal. The main food was delightful, it was authentic and homely yet still elevated. I particularly enjoyed the duck egg burji with crab and truffles and the gucchi malai mutter paneer. Desserts were presented beautiful and continued on from the mains in quality. Other than the nonalcoholic drinks I would definitely recommend Gymkhana the food was extremely filling and we left stuffed so make sure you come hungry so you can really enjoy the meal. ”
“ Had an incredible meal at Gymkhana! The aloo chaat was a perfect balance of spice and tang, the beetroot pao was a unique delight, and the Goan prawn curry was rich and flavorful. But can we take a moment for the butter chicken? Absolutely next level creamy, smoky, and just perfection. If youre in London, this spot is a mustvisit! ”
“ Absolutely fantastic as usual. Weve been many times and is a favourite with the whole family. The food is outstanding especially the pani puri and the way the Game options are cooked. Curries are authentic and of high quality. The service however, is the star. Special shoutout to Darshan Gore and Denzel for taking such good care of us and ensuring we have a wonderful experience. The rest of the staff is also fantastic. ”
“ We had the 3 course lunch menu which was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge and so flavourful, we walked away very full! Everything is served to the table so we were easily able to try multiple dishes. We were seated downstairs which had a lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend! ”
