Gymkhana London

Gymkhana is on Albemarle Street, a five-minute walk from The Ritz London. It holds two Michelin stars and ranks at number 92 on the National Restaurant Awards UK Top 100.

Most Indian restaurants in the city lean toward either casual, quick-fire service or formal, hushed environments. Gymkhana avoids this binary, favoring a clubby intensity that feels more connected to the Mayfair street life than the reserved counterparts near Bond Street. The room runs smart, but it remains one of the few places in this area that favors a raucous, late-night pulse over the stiff, muted tone usually demanded by the surroundings. It is the choice if you want the rigour of a two-star kitchen served with a frantic, crowded energy that makes you feel like you are in the middle of London.
