🇬🇧 London Restaurant Review | GYMKHANA 🍛✨
Rating: 7.5/10 Would I return? Maybe. Tried Gymkhana, one of London’s most talked-about Indian spots, for my birthday this year. Here’s the scoop: 📌 Booking Tips • Hard to secure a table—join the waiting list and pray for an email! 📧 • Minimum spend: £100/pp (worth noting). 🌆 Ambience Think Dishoom’s moody cousin—dim lighting, colonial-chic decor, but cramped (typical for central London). Love it or hate it. 🍽️ Food Hits & Misses 🔥 Standouts: • Duck Egg Bhurji: Fluffy, custardy spiced eggs 🥚 • Lobster Malabar Paratha: Buttery, flaky, luxurious 🦞 • Aloo Chaat: Tangy, crunchy, addictive potato snack 🥔 🦌 Interesting… But Not for Everyone: • Wild Muntjac Biryani (venison rice)—aromatic but gamey. 🚫 Skip These: • Lasooni Wild Tiger Prawns: Too spicy 🌶️ • Chicken Butter Masala: Too salty 🧂 (Both overpowered the natural flavors.) 🍧 Dessert: • Lemon & Coconut Sorbet: Refreshing palate cleanser. 💡 Final Verdict Trishna (its sibling) is more traditional and tastier. Gymkhana? Great service, bold flavors, but not memorable enough to crave. 📍 Gymkhana | London 💬 Your Turn! Would you brave the venison biryani or stick to lobster paratha?
