Gymkhana, the two Michelin-starred London restaurant, will open in Dubai this September, marking its UAE debut
Located in Gate Village, DIFC, the restaurant will bring its take on Indian cuisine and hospitality to the city. Founded by siblings Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants, Gymkhana has been a fixture of London’s dining scene since opening in Mayfair in 2013, earning its first Michelin star within nine months and its second in 2024.
Inspired by India’s elite social clubs, Gymkhana’s Dubai outpost will span two levels with seating for 137 guests, plus a terrace. The interiors will feature lantern lighting, patterned ceilings, booth seating, mirrored ceilings, chandeliers and a peacock bar.
The menu will stay rooted in Indian culinary traditions, with signature dishes across chaat-style plates, tandoori specialities, curries and biryanis, alongside exclusive creations for the Dubai location.
Gymkhana Dubai opens on Tuesday 1 September 2026 at Gate Village, Building 7, DIFC, following international launches in Riyadh and Las Vegas.
