Gymkhana is a high class, Michelin starred Indian restaurant which opened just over a year ago in Mayfair. Nine months after they opened for business the restaurant was voted No 1 in the National Restaurant awards, Restaurant magazine’s annual countdown of the top 100 restaurants in the country. This is a startlingly quick rise to…
