"Red and carpeted or gold with wood panelling, it doesn’t matter where you get seated in Gymkhana, the whole place screams, money honey. The Mayfair restaurant’s Indian classics will stay with you long after your final bite. Standouts like the soft shell crab with crunchy bhel or the wild muntjac biryani are impressive. This is an expensive, upscale experience, but it’s also some of the best Indian food in the city. Set your alarm for 6am for the online reservations that are released two months in advance. Your best bet is planning the best London day off known to lamb chop-lovers and opt for one of the weekday lunchtime bookings. If you’re really struggling, sister spots—Bibi, Brigadiers, and Ambassadors Clubhouse—usually have more availability." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
