The A-grade curry house
Yes, sometimes you just want a curry - but sometimes you want dark wood floors, bottle-green leather and a Michelin-starred chef in the kitchen. That's when you should book Gymkhana in Mayfair. Think moreish street food, partridge and pig-cheek curries and a biryani to end all biryanis. gymkhanalondon.com
