Gymkhana
Two MICHELIN stars
About Gymkhana
Gymkhana takes its look from the members’ clubs of colonial India: dark oak, brass fans, leather banquettes and hunting trophies. The cooking is bold and refined, with dishes from tandoori lamb chops to the much-loved kid goat methi keema, and the restaurant holds two stars in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026. Tables are hard to get, so book weeks ahead.
