Why we recommend it

Gymkhana takes its cue from the members' clubs of colonial India, with dark wood, leather and hunting-lodge details in a dining room just a few minutes from Green Park. The cooking is classic Indian, offered as an à la carte menu, a lunch menu and vegetarian and non-vegetarian tasting menus, and it holds two Michelin stars in the 2026 guide.

Tables are hard to come by: reservations are taken online only, the diary opens at 06:00 and runs up to two months ahead, and card details are needed to secure a booking. Groups of six to ten can book the private vaults further in advance. Downstairs, the 42 cocktail lounge offers drinks until late from Tuesday to Saturday. Green Park station is the closest stop.
