Gymkhana’s wild mushroom biryani earns rapturous praise for its fragrant, layered depth, while critics agree the overall vibe is one of refined, celebratory warmth.
“Lightly battered small shrimp, deep fried with multiple spices stuck to the coating. The crunch is insane, and the dill sauce adds balance and cools it off. The flavor of the dill is so pronounced — gorgeous.”

Dishes mentioned
Golgappa
You crack the top open, make a hole, fill it with spiced vegetables and chickpeas, then pour in the spicy water. It bursts in your mouth — super earthy, spicy, and herbaceous. It's like an Indian soup dumpling. Fantastic start to the meal.
Aloo Chaat
Crispy potatoes, spiced chickpeas, sweetened yogurt, tamarind chutney, and crispy gram flour on top. It's one of the best balanced dishes I've ever tried — the sweetness from the yogurt and tamarind with the crunch. I've never had anything like this.
Butter Chicken
This is easily a top three butter chicken I've ever eaten. It's very tomato-forward with a slight nutty flavor — they spend five hours cooking down the sauce. The chicken is really tender, probably dark meat. The garlic naan is the best I've ever had. Outstanding.
Garlic Naan
Probably the best garlic naan I've ever eaten. It's phenomenal — perfect to soak up the butter chicken sauce.
Amrit
Lightly battered small shrimp, deep fried with multiple spices stuck to the coating. The crunch is insane, and the dill sauce adds balance and cools it off. The flavor of the dill is so pronounced — gorgeous.
