Gymkhana Mayfair

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.

We dined at Gymkhana, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. The food was incredibly delicious, full of rich flavours and perfectly balanced spices—every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic. From the presentation to the taste, everything was of the highest quality. A special mention to our server Kishor, who made the evening even more memorable. He was extremely attentive, warm, and professional, explaining the dishes with great knowledge and ensuring we were comfortable throughout the meal. His service added a personal touch that truly elevated the dining experience.
