Gymkhana Dubai is opening for lunch. After what it describes as a successful first month, the restaurant will begin lunch service from 21 October, expanding beyond dinner and giving guests a new way to eat there.
Alongside it comes a new Business Lunch Menu, a shorter format of the restaurant’s bold Indian cooking suited to its location in the heart of DIFC. It is available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 2:30pm at AED 145 per person, while the à la carte menu will be served for weekend lunch. The restaurant’s lower ground floor offers a dedicated space for daytime private hire.
The Menu
The Business Lunch Menu opens with a Pappadum Selection and Club Chutneys. Starters include Aloo Chaat with Masala Yoghurt and Sev, Beetroot Chops with Peanut Ghatti Masala, or Ghee Roast King Crab Idli.
These are followed by a choice of Achari Paneer with Fig & Cashew Nut and Corn Chaat, Kasoori Chicken with Kasundi Kachumber, or Tandoori Masala Lamb Chops with Walnut Chutney, which is available for an additional AED 125.
Mains offer Goan Prawn Curry with Malabar Parotta, Kid Goat Methi Keema with Salli and Pao, Chicken Butter Masala with Plain Naan, or Channa Masala with Methi Mooli Bhatura. Each is served with Dal Lasooni and Basmati Rice, and the meal ends with Petit Fours.
About Gymkhana
Gymkhana was founded in London’s Mayfair in 2013 by siblings Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants, and its press material describes it as one of the UK’s most in-demand restaurants. Inspired by the elite clubs of India, Gymkhana Dubai draws on the conviviality and sense of occasion traditionally associated with the country’s gymkhana clubs.
