Gymkhana London - an inspiring Indian restaurant

standart.uk
Cheval Thorney Court is near Gymkhana Indian Restaurant

Gymkhana is inspired by the Colonial Indian gymkhana clubs, and this is certainly reflected in the colonial style interiors of dark wood, marble, ceiling fans and black and white photographs of proud looking Indian businessmen from the time.

If you’re visiting Gymkhana for dinner, insist you sit downstairs where the clubby, subdued lighting really comes into play. Pick a booth and look out onto the bar sending out beautifully coloured cocktails from a creative list on ornate silver trays.

The menu consists of bar snacks, Kebabs and Tikkas, Game and Chops, Curry and Biryani and Sabzi (side) dishes. The impressively large-scale menu allows for lots of ordering, and sharing is definitely the way to go here. Highlights are plentiful, but particular stars are the Keralan Moilee Mussels served with Curry Leaf and Garlic Naan – so good we had to order a second naan to soak up the sauce.

Lasooni Wild Tiger Prawns with a Red Pepper Chutney were astonishingly soft and juicy with a hint of fire, and the Lamb Nalli Barra, Pickeled Onion, Tumeric and Ginger (chops) were succulent, tangy, moorish and spiced to perfection.

It’s also worth popping in to try the cocktails, including the excellent Ooty Town Gimlet (Old Raj gin with rose water and crystallised rose petals). With a good wine list, warm and well rehearsed staff, and a menu that really suits those looking for traditional Indian food in a fine setting, Gymkhana is the restaurant you’ve been waiting for.

Gymkhana is also good for groups with two semi private dining rooms in the alcoves in the lower ground floor accommodating 10 and 14 people.

A Londoner's Beauty Summer Kit

Image
The Post Festival Recovery Kit by Hayley Cheval Gloucester Park has a Boots nearby. We wait all year for the summer to enjoy the best of the open air. But staying more outside means more time standing up, less sleep, more time in the sun and a lot more walking. And that can make us look tired... which is not at all the face of summer. London beauty queen +Hayley Carr  set up what she calls a "post festival recovery kit", as in London summer = music festivals everywhere (and we love it).  But we thought this selection is also good for every summer event, perfect to make you look fresh all season long. And the best? You can find all the products in London, some in stores like Boots, which we can find everywhere in the city. Here are the selected products in Hayley's words: 1. For The Hair:   Matrix Biolage Delicate Care Masque £12.50 As much of a saviour as dry shampoo is, there's only so many times you can use it without your hair refusing to do...
