Bombay Gymkhana is an institution with a rich tradition and history. At heart it is a sporting institution and has been host to a number of iconic sporting events over the years. Its membership is aspirational and it is recognized as a quality institution in the society at large and one of the pre-eminent clubs of India. It is represented by a lovely heritage building with a verandah at its heart from where all sports facilities and restaurants emanate. A regular Bombay Gymkhana member is often someone who has grown up in the club, is comforted by its familiarity, enjoys and plays a number of sports and participates in its various social activities. They take pride when their sporting teams do well and enjoy the popularity of its social milieu. They develop strong bonds with fellow members leading often to enduring friendships. They want the Club to provide quality spaces with great ambience for recreation at reasonable prices and conduct exciting sporting and social events for their families to develop a similar familiarity and comfort with the Club.

I wish everyone could go to this historic club at some point. I was lucky enough to go here a couple of times with a colleague who is a member. The food is good and the ambience is lovely. I wonder why the restaurant has attire rules for men at all. You won’t find a lot of young people here except who come for their sports or exercise, but in general a good place to relax and chill with your friends and family if you can get access to the club!

Entry to this place calls for a membership. The place has an indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is all sunny and fresh overlooking the ground (maidan) where matches and exercises are not difficult to spot. The indoor has got the British Old Bombay touch to it with seating available for individuals and large groups. It has got a stage on one side and a disco ball in the centre and was most probably a ball room or maybe is still used for such purposes. The walls of the Gymkhana are covered with beautiful Old Bombay frames and feels just as good as a museum. The food is delicious and at the same time quite reasonable considering its location and ambience. The hospitality is 10/10 and the calmness of the place cannot be left unmentioned.

Wonderful experience. Loved the vibe and the interior of the Gymkhana.

Peaceful club.

One of the oldest and best clubs in Bombay

The food is soooooo tasty and the staff was very polite and very well mannered. The view was very nice but the only things is you are not allowed to talk on phone in the restaurant. Must have there desserts and pasta. Price range is little high but will not say very expensive.

Place where cieckter born

I had a fabulous experience, I give the credit to my family and family friend. Because of whom I am able to be part of family functions and spend quality & quantitative time with my young nephew and see him grow up in front of my very own eyes to evidence every precious moment to capture.

Truly a decent place

Love this place

It was good . Worth joining

Nice

This is a delightful throwback to the old Bombay colonial culture. It feels like one has entered a Time Machine when you sit out in the porch and enjoy a delicious meal while watching cricket practice.

Great ambience

It's a beautiful place. They have a library too which is very beautiful and have an annual library week as well wherein they come up with various shows and discussions
