Gault&Millau's review 2026

If we were to imagine the ideal Indian table, it would undoubtedly look like this Gymkhana, discreetly installed on the first floor of VIA Riyadh. The decor is inspired by the codes of British India, with dark wood, a handsome English bar, black-and-white photos, circular banquettes and dim lighting in a chic, subdued tone that immediately indicates the house's pretensions. The place doesn't just offer the classics of Indian cuisine, it dares to try recipes that are certainly traditional but not so common, such as gol guppas or duck egg bhurji, lobster and parotta, potato aloo chaat with spices. The choice is vast, with kebabs, tikkas, curries and sabzis. The tasting menu offers a fine overview at reasonable prices, with, for example, Goa cafreal chicken with green curry, remarkable for its seasoning and texture, followed by chicken biryani and chicken butter masala, served with lentil dhal maharani and spinach saag makai. For dessert, traditional kheer rice pudding with cardamom and spices, refreshing and light. Available and professional service.
