Gymkhana, London’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, has officially opened its doors at Gate Village, Building 7, DIFC. Open nightly for dinner from 6:30 PM to 1:00 AM, the restaurant brings its celebrated Indian cuisine to Dubai, with a menu rooted in culinary traditions from across India, defined by bold, layered flavours.
The menu spans Nashta, Kebabs & Tikkas, Game & Chops, Curry & Biryani, and Sabzi, featuring all-time favourites including Kid Goat Methi Keema & Salli, Tandoori Masala Lamb Chops with Walnut Chutney and Chicken Butter Masala. These sit alongside dishes created exclusively for Dubai, including Jackfruit Ghee Roast, Makhmali King Crab & Malai Pyaaz, Imli Black Cod with Peanut Chutney, Wagyu Beef Sukka with Bone Marrow, Malvani Sea Bream and Goat Shank Nihari.
Set across two levels with an additional terrace, Gymkhana Dubai has been designed by Samuel Hosker of North End Design alongside Karam Sethi, evolving the distinctive design language established at the Mayfair flagship for its new Dubai setting. The material palette has been recalibrated with warmer timbers and lighter green hues, creating a brighter interpretation while retaining the character and elegance of the original.
Founded in London’s Mayfair in 2013 by siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants, Gymkhana is one of the UK’s most in-demand restaurants. Taking its name from the elite social and sporting clubs of India, the restaurant pays homage to the institutions where members of high society gathered to dine, drink, socialise, and celebrate. After earning its first Michelin star within nine months of opening, Gymkhana was awarded a second Michelin star a decade later in 2024, cementing its status as a defining name in classic Indian dining.
Gymkhana is now open daily for dinner service. To secure a table, reservations can be made via the website.
Opening hours:
Monday – Sunday: 18:30 – 01:00
Lunch hours to follow from October
