Michelin Two-Star Indian Cuisine at Gymkhana in London
The Indian food here is absolutely fantastic, and itโs especially hard to get a reservation for lunch. The difference between the lunch and tasting menu is minimal, and at ยฃ60, itโs a great value for money. Managed to get off the waitlist and secure a spot a week ago. ๐ Aloo chaat is a Northern Indian snack, which is essentially fried potatoes with tamarind and yogurt, accompanied by various crispy chips and three types of sauces. Itโs good for a taste, but can be a bit heavy if you eat too much. ๐ Next up was the tikka, we chose both salmon and chicken. The flavors are traditional, but the grilling is spot on, especially the salmon, which I highly recommend. ๐๐ For the main course, we had chicken butter masala and kid goat methi keema. The butter chicken was incredibly smooth, with a unique blend of spices different from other restaurants. The goat was minced and slightly spicy, perfect for sandwiching in the small bread. ๐๐ฅ For dessert, we ordered a fig rice pudding. Every dessert on the menu is a Western dessert with an Indian twist. However, the Indian spices in this rice pudding were a bit much for my taste. ๐ฎ I especially recommend their drinks; the Gymkhana iced tea, mango lassi, and chai latte are all incredibly delicious and nothing like what youโd find in other Indian restaurants. ๐น๐ฅค #London #LondonFoodExploration #LondonFood #BritishCuisine #Michelin #MichelinRestaurant
