About Gymkhana
Gymkhana is inspired by the elite clubs of India where members of high society socialise, eat, drink, and play sport.
In 2024, Gymkhana was awarded Two Michelin stars for its classic Indian cuisine, after its first star in 2014.

Gymkhana’s two floors offer two distinctive looks and feels. The ground floor, resplendent in tones of jade green and polished dark timber, is inspired by the residential mansions of Kolkata and Pondicherry. Down a mirrored staircase, the lower ground floor references subtle elements of north-Indian architecture and a vivid colour palette of peach and Kashmiri chill red.
Throughout the restaurant, an array of original Gymkhana features can be found, including hunting trophies from the Maharaja of Jodhpur and Grandmother Sethi’s barometer.
