From Kensington to Mayfair

Saturday, October 05th , 2024

Gymkhana was one of the restaurants that really elevated the impression of Indian food in London, and it continues to prosper; indeed it is a struggle to get a reservation here, even at lunch. This was a better meal than I recall from prior visits, and the best dishes were very good indeed. For example, pani puris were as good as I have eaten anywhere, and the tandoori lamb chop was dazzling.  

Kitchen W8 has also found a successful formula, serving appealing dishes and offering a wine-friendly list and policy along with charming service. This is a consistent restaurant, and the residents of Kensington have clearly taken to it.
