Gymkhana far surpassed anything I thought Indian food could be! The tasting menu was divine. Favorites were the kid goat, chick pea and potato, pomegranate raita, and an otherworldly saffron pistachio ice cream concoction!

Highest of the high teas; where a tux is always appropriate. Terrific salon; posh Rivoli bar; and every luxury from which to rule Britannia. My highest recommendation.

Delicious variations on amazing vegetables from Yotam Ottolenghi. Brunch similar to other venues, curious about lunch and dinner.
