Gymkhana Dubai will celebrate its first Festival of Lights on Sunday 8 November with a Diwali Tasting Menu priced at AED 495 per person. It is a one-day offer at the DIFC restaurant and is available throughout the day.
The Menu
The menu draws on Gymkhana favourites rather than new dishes. Guests start with Aloo Chaat and Amritsari Shrimp and Queenies, then move to two of the restaurant’s signature mains: the Chicken Butter Masala and the Beef Check Vindaloo.
Both mains come with Saffron Pilau, Dal Maharani and Khameeri Roti. The restaurant describes the menu as a tribute to the depth and diversity of classical Indian cooking, presented in a celebratory form.
About Gymkhana
Gymkhana opened in London’s Mayfair in 2013, founded by siblings Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants. It takes its inspiration from the elite social clubs of India, and the Dubai restaurant brings the same clubby conviviality to DIFC. The restaurant presents itself as a setting for friends and families to gather over Diwali.
Gymkhana only recently arrived in the city. Read our earlier stories on its Dubai arrival and its AED 145 business lunch. For more ways to mark the festival, browse our guide to Diwali in Dubai 2026.
