First of all, 42 at Gymkhana is breathtakingly beautiful. The JKS restaurant group knows what it’s doing with aesthetics. It’s what you want to see when you walk into a cocktail lounge above a two Michelin-starred Indian restaurant. Words like “intimate” and “opulent” are par for the course.
I’d have been surprised to see anything other than soft furnishings and low lighting; long and sweeping drapes; great lamps, leopard-print ornaments and tinkling chandeliers. It’s a fabulous pastiche of high India, a place to sit and listen to late-night DJs before or after succulent lamb chops. I like the word succulent.
