## DISHOOM 



 

 

 Despite the extremely strong competition, it came as little surprise that the excellent Dishoom TOPPED THIS CATEGORY. There’s a reason people still queue to get in at many of its sites &amp; it’s not just the UNBEATABLE MURGH MALAI.

### KRICKET

“At cool Kricket, dishes are designed for sharing: menu highlights include the likes of samphire pakoras with tamarind &amp; chilli garlic; as well as Keralan fried chicken with curry leaf mayo &amp; pickled mooli.”

### GYMKHANA

“Book a table at beautifully designed, Michelin-starred Gymkhana &amp; you can expect everything from a next-level G&amp;T list to a tasting menu filled with stylish signatures from muntjac biryani to paneer tikka with fig, cashew nut &amp; corn chaat.”
