Two-Michelin-star Indian dining on Albemarle Street in Mayfair.
Gymkhana is a two-Michelin-star Indian restaurant at 42 Albemarle Street in Mayfair. Siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi opened it in 2013; it earned its first Michelin star in 2014 and its second in 2024, becoming the first two-star Indian restaurant in London. Within months of opening, critic Giles Coren gave it a rare 10 out of 10 in his review.
A fire closed the restaurant for several months in 2019, and it reopened in February 2020 with the dining rooms redesigned by Samuel Hosker. The space still runs across two levels: ground-floor booths suited to a working lunch, and a red-toned basement room with a clubbier, colonial-India mood for a longer dinner.
The kitchen is built on North Indian tandoor cooking and slow-cooked curries, using seasonal British produce and game, and dishes are served family-style with staff guiding spice levels and pacing through the meal. The tandoori masala lamb chops with walnut chutney have been the restaurant's signature since it opened.
