    Gol guppa
    Alykhan V.

    Food - 4/5 Kheema Naan - 4/5 - loved this! Full of flavour and the quality of the naan and beef was awesome. Also came with raitha (yogurt) Gol guppa - 4.5/5 - A burst of flavour with each bite. Just the right amount of spice and tamarind. The chickpeas were really nicely flavoured as well and stood out. Tandoori Chicken - 3.8/5 - you could tell the quality of the ingredients and the way it was cooked was done professionally. It was good and spicy Beef Shortrib Pepper Fry - 3.5/5 - it was good. The flavour was decent and had good spices, but the beef wasn't soft enough for this type of curry. Still good though! Service - 5/5 - The waiters were all very professional and attentive. They explained each dish and how to eat some of them (some were best eaten with your hands, etc) Awesome service Ambiance - 4.5/5 - beautifully decorated, well lit ambiance, and very upscale. Music wasn't too loud, so you could chat with your party. Only feedback I'd have with the ambiance is to maybe play some Indian music, even if just classical, to keep the true culture of the place.

    We'd been eagerly waiting to come here and had to book a reservation a full month in advance -- worth every bit of the anticipation. We arrived on time, were shown to our seats, and were immediately struck by how massive and stunning the interior is. Service was exceptional all evening; our team did a wonderful job making the night special and walking us through the menu thoughtfully. Here's what we ordered: Mango Lassi & Mango Ginger Soda -- Both were refreshing and set a great tone for the meal right from the start. Aloo Chaat -- A beautiful balance of flavors with a commendable portion size. Exactly what we needed after arriving hungry. Tandoori Paneer Tikka -- This is not your typical paneer dish. Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the green chutney alongside it was a refreshing complement. Morel Mushroom & Pilaf Rice -- A subtle hint of truffle ran through the dish -- just enough to elevate it without overpowering. One of my favorites of the night. The poppy seed bread served with it was stunning -- light, crispy, and airy. Khatta Meetha Baingan -- Decent but not the best version I've had. Still enjoyable. Black Lentil Dhal Maharani -- Super creamy and warm -- exactly what you want on a chilly evening. This was one of my wife's favorite dishes of the night. Bread Basket -- A delicious variety, and yes, the garlic naan was in there. No complaints. To top off the evening, they surprised us with a chocolate mukhvas for our anniversary -- a thoughtful and memorable touch. Overall, an incredible experience from start to finish. The food is absolutely worth the price, and we're already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the vegetarian menu!

    I was so excited for this, but left so underwhelmed. The atmosphere is very well done. It's in the Aria hotel. Our server started off by telling us the spiciest items on the menu, and none of them were spicy enough for us. The music jumped all over the place with classic bollywood songs and then a random remix with today's hits that would feel disruptive to the mood. I'm sad that it's probably much better of an experience in London. It just did not feel like a michelin restaurant :/ My fav was the kasoori chicken. The gol guppa was subpar. The butter chicken, even tho it was a signature dish, did not hit. and it didn't even taste like butter chicken.

    We were super excited to try this place, to say the least. Overall, we would come back, mostly to explore more of the vegetarian options on the menu. Service was good, but nothing I wouldn't expect from a high end restaurant. One interesting thing was that water is served at room temperature (no ice), which caught me off guard. The front staff were not very warm or inviting, which was a bit of a turnoff right from the start. Loved the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The center table lamp was a little tall so it was hard to see the person across from me initially. However, it was moved to the side when the food started to come out. Here is what we ordered for four people and my thoughts: Apps / Entrées - Gol Guppas - good, but I would not order again at this price point - Beetroot Chops Pao - my favorite!! Still thinking about this dish. This alone makes me want to come back and try more of the menu - Pappadum Selection (subbed prawn chutney for mango achar yogurt chutney) - fun to share and snack on with a group - Tandoori Paneer Tikka - great flavor, no complaints - Morel Mushrooms & Truffle Pilaf - meh. I did not love the overall flavor. The outer flaky pastry was good, but the poppy seeds were a bit much. Also, watch out for the surprise chilies in the rice. - Black Lentil Dal Maharani - really enjoyed this, well balanced flavors - Bread Basket - just okay, nothing special. The roti was the most disappointing. Drinks - Pina Col-lassi - favorite cocktail - Himalayan Hold Up - good, but my least favorite of the 4 drinks - Patiala Peg ×2 - would order again - Bagheera ×2 - would order again

    Kasoori chicken tikka
    Jesse S.

    Fantastic dining experience! Reservations are few and far between right now, but swing by around 9pm and you can maybe snag a table before the late night crowd rushes in. Truly everything is bursting with flavor. The Rajasthani Okra side is phenomenal - the nice okra pop of flavor paired with a perfect fried crunch. Start with Kasoori Chicken Tikka - a lovely roasted flavor covered with a nice tangy spice. Top it all off with impeccable service without being overwhelming.

    Best Indian meal I've ever had! Absolutely fantastic food and service. I showed up at 4:30 pm and was the third person in line to snag a walk-in seat at the bar. I got the last available seat at 5 when they opened, the guy behind me was told it would be a 2 hour wait. I opted for the tasting menu, and chose the following: * Pappadum Selection * Gol Guppas * Amritsari Shrimp & Svallops * Quail Seekh Kebab * Venison Biryani * Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream Falooda Everything was great, particularly the kebab and the biryani. The biryani, cooked within a puff pastry, was fantastic. The quail kebab was probably the best kebab I've ever had. Service at the bar was fantastic. Despite being busy fulfilling cocktail orders for the restaurant, they never failed to ensure that I was happy with my meal and with service at the bar. Excellent cocktails too! I highly recommend dining at Gymkhana. It's located on the ground floor of Aria. Reservations are available online 45 days in advance, and they go quickly.

    Another Amazing experience here. This time sat at the bar. 2 of us on a Saturday and lucky enough to get seated right away with no reservations so check. In case they can get you in Lamb chops are too good. No gaminess what so ever. Done so well best I ever had Mushroom bryani so good. So easy to eat. Good amount of rice. The shell is so good also Pina co lassi. Best cocktail I ever had. And I had a lot Trust me. Clarified to perfection. So balanced. Great service. Amazing food. My fav restaurant in Vegas

    Channa Masala
    Kiran A.

    Before traveling to Vegas, I looked for about a month to try and get reservations, but no dice. I was staying at the Aria, so I figured worst case scenario, I'll just line up an hour before they open and see if they'll let me sit at the bar. Thankfully, our strategy worked and my husband and I were able to get full dining service at the bar! Woohoo! Because this place is fancy, we dressed up for the occasion. Traditionally, a "gymkhana" back home in India or Pakistan certainly has a dress code. There were about 14 people lined up trying to do something similar, and frankly I'm not the type to care about dress code and rules, but it was annoying to me to see the person deciding who gets in/doesn't get in, not really following their own rules. Women wearing swim wear and cover ups, with flip flops were allowed. However men wearing nicer tailored shorts, with sandals weren't allowed. My husband and I were fine, but really seemed like the person letting people in was going more by pretty privilege than any actual rules. But I guess that's just the Vegas way! Once we were seated at the bar, we got the BEST bartender/server/jack of all trades working with us on our menu selection. His name was Tony (coincidentally, two Tony's work behind the bar, and both are great!) and he's so incredibly lively! And well travelled. He could talk for days, but he was great at sensing what guests wanted- which ones were chatty and which ones wanted a quiet meal, and it was cool seeing him in action. The interior is beautiful, with rich royal colors, greens, maroons, deep mahogany wood. The many has so many choices! We narrowed down our order to the Aloo Chaat, goat Methi Keema, wagyu keema naan, butter chicken, gol guppas, and channa masala. When we try a new place we usually cast a wide net to get a good feel for a place. Right away we noticed that the channa being used in the gol guppas were canned, and not fresh. That seems an odd choice for a Michelin star restaurant. Typically I associate Michelin star restaurants with a similar taste to like a Nona/ grandma cooking in the back. Passed down recipes. Really authentic. My mom would never use boiled canned chickpeas. The pani served with the gol guppas was phenomenal, had a bit of a kick and was a redeeming factor. The channa masala had no such redeeming factor, continued to be canned, and we ate a bite each and left it alone. What a complete waste. The wagyu keema naan was also something I would not order again. Having tasted wagyu before, here it made no difference and was really boring. The aloo chaat was surprisingly so good, not something I'd order in such a place but so glad I did, the crunch, the yogurt, the spice, was all perfectly balanced. The methi goat was also something darn good! We would have loved more of that. The butter chicken was meh? I've had better. Overall it was worth a try and the experience was good, but I was left unimpressed and not sure why it was hyped.

    Tandoori masala lamb chops
    Didi P.

    We were in Vegas for Illenium at the Sphere (incredible, but that's another review) and a friend, who was familiar with the Michelin-rated Gymkhana in London, insisted we had to go. He was right to insist, and he was right to book ahead because they were turning people away at the door. Reservation is a must! The ambiance sets the tone immediately... moody, beautiful, and clearly thoughtful in every detail. I was wowed just walking to our table! Service was equally impressive: attentive, pleasant, and prompt throughout the entire meal without ever feeling intrusive. We ate family style which was the perfect way to experience the menu. The standouts for me were the beef short rib pepper fry served with the most lovely flaky paratha (I genuinely wished I could have had more of it!)... and the butter chicken paired with naan, which was rich and comforting and everything you want it to be. The kasoori chicken tikka and tandoori masala lamb chops were also huge hits at the table and very easy to love. Full transparency: some of the flavor combinations were bold and complex in ways I'm not entirely used to, so I think my palate may not have been the most calibrated judge for every dish! The venison biryani didn't quite land for me... the venison itself was cooked beautifully, but the flavors weren't clicking, and it ran quite spicy for my taste. The lychee martini was okay but notably less sweet than what I typically expect... worth knowing if you're ordering with that in mind. The group collectively called it the best meal they'd ever had. For me it's a little harder to rank since Indian cuisine is still a flavor world I'm actively exploring, but I can absolutely see why this place has the reputation it does. Beautifully executed, genuinely special, and absolutely worth the reservation.

    Butter chicken...best butter chicken I've ever had
    Tovan T.

    Gymkhana was very good! I mean it has to mean something as I was walking by 10 minutes before opening to find a ton of Indian folks lined out front, right? I slipped in for a bar seat last night. Bar service here is a hoot, and I was treated to the BEST butter chicken I've ever had. Complex flavors that hit your palate in waves with just the right kind of heat that makes you go back for more bites. Cocktails are also fantastic. I had one from the light & refreshing section. Got a large party? They have massive shareable drinks running for $240 for about 8 people. The former Julian Serrano space is completely unrecognizable as you step into a private and posh London club. Find Tony or Courtney at the bar and your evening will be set.

    Very solid Indian food. Loved the naan, masalas, and meats. The chicken masala was 10/10. Portions are a bit small. Entrees are appetizer sizes and $30-40 each. I'd say a single person could eat two entrees and a full naan basket, so roughly $100 worth or more. Staff were excellent and vibes were fun.

    This place is all about "Keeping Up with the Khans" rather than honoring or prioritizing authentic Indian heritage and inclusivity when it comes to dietary preferences. Sure, it carries its reputation all the way from London, but I found the whole experience to be pretentious rather than sticking to authentic versions of Indian dishes. One of my colleagues made a reservation here when we were in town for work. Actually, a group of 10 of us had two reservations between us, because we didn't want to book one reservation of 8+ knowing we would be stuck to the pre-fix menu, and potential cancellation fees for anyone from our party cancelling last minute. They were not accomodating with us when, of course, we had two last minute cancellations. We wanted to combine as a group of 7, but they were adamant that we keep our reservations as is. So, part of our party got seated early, and the remainder of our group got seated later. It was ridiculous because we could have EASILY sat together as a group of 7. I guess it goes back to "keeping up appearances" of having a full restaurant... The food itself was alright, but the sparse vegetarian options was deeply disappointing. If there is one cuisine in the world that is made for vegetarians, it IS Indian. Why are you trying to be "creative" by adding meat into things that are normally vegetarian?? And of course, being in Vegas and "keeping up appearances" as a find dining restaurant, the food was overpriced. We honestly could have gone off strip to the plethora of Indian restaurants in Vegas to have quality, vegetarian-friendly options and pay 1/4 of the cost we paid here. Luckily, it was a business expense, but due to our company budget, we had to pay tip out of our pockets lol. I also found our waiter's behavior to be a bit odd. I also found it amusing that he was explaining an Indian menu to, people of Indian descent. At one point, we had requested our meals to be served so that our main entrees came after we finished our appetizers. One of my colleagues was still in the middle of finishing some of the appetizers, and our entrees came out in full force. We had no room on the table for everything...we had to awkwardly ask that they be sent back until we were ready. When we were ready, we had to wave down the waiter who then said with a slight bit of attitude "oh, they are already queued to be back". Well okay, sir! All-in-all, it was an okay experience, but really only makes sense to come here if you want to dress up, post on social media, and well, basically "keep up appearances". The minimal vegetarian options was a huge disappointment, seeing as they market themselves as an Indian restaurant.

    Venison biryani
    Gina R.

    What an exquisite night celebrating our anniversary at Gymkhana. The service and the atmosphere were top-notch. It is difficult to get a reservation so plan accordingly. We started out with the Wagyu Keema Naan and the Tandoori Masala lamb chops. The lamb chops were the best lamb chops I have ever had in my life. I typically don't like the gaminess of lamb but these were seasoned perfectly. We also order the chicken butter masala, the beef short rib pepper fry, and the venison biryani. The chicken butter masala was a classic dish. The beef short rib pepper fry was perfectly spiced while the venison biryani was an interesting treat as it came with a pastry puff on top of it. Every accompanying sauce was equally as delicious as the main dish. Everything was tasty and as the dishes came out, we were happy with the continuity of quality across the dishes. We adventured on the desserts with the rasgulla tiramisu, carrot halwa tart, mango rasmalal and saffron pistachio ice cream falooda. Each dessert was unique but in particular the saffron pistachio ice cream was oddly good. There were many components in it that actually mixed together nicely for a refreshing dessert. You kind of raise your eyebrow as you eat it but you can't stop eating it. This was a wonderful experience!

    Chris was our bartender at this unique bar we visited in the Horseshoe casino . It's exactly what…read moreyou expect with the "oddities" and curiosities on display throughout. Every corner has a different oddity and to add to the intrigue and search for answers, they encourage opening some of the drawers for closer looks! They have a bar area where you can sit and enjoy your drink or food but also have cozy areas throughout where you can sit and take it all in. Definitely a fun bar to check out when in Vegas and hopefully you get Chris who was delightful and made fantastic drinks!

    Just an ok experience…read more Inside is definitely themed cool and each of the weird objects inside has a little number you can use to lookup and get more information. There is a second secret bar that wasn't open when we were there, but from what I understand you use clues from the objects to gain access. The drinks were ok but nothing spectacular, they were also a little on the pricey side for what you get. They had a limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks and upon asking if I could get one of their featured drinks in a NA version, the bartender seemed like he was being put out by the request. He made it, but the drink I got didn't really have any of the flavors described. If you are waiting for a tee time at Twilight Zone mini golf maybe you could stop in, though honestly I would probably just go to the bar down the hall by the food court.

Low ceiling and dimly lit lights to best exemplify the underground canal-tunnel era. Sara was an amazing waitress and conduit to one of the best evenings it's of dining, flavors, and enjoyment! Espresso Martinis $20 each and VERY good! I also had an Old fashioned and it was definitely one of the best I've had. Same price point. We really loved the speakeasy vibe & the somewhat secret way to get here if you don't know what your looking for.

With dim lits, a purple hue, fancy tables and a beautiful bar you feel a little fancy. We were the for the Docksiders Yacht Rock show. My definition of Yaht rock and theirs differs but that is not the venues issue. It was clean and quaint. We received a free drink with our ticket entry. Wendid not get a choice but it was some drink out of a remixed cooler. It was strong and flavorful. Overall this is a cool venue for the right show.

    Nice atmosphere, attentive service, good drink selection. I got the Vesper, Vesper martini which is…read morethe bar's namesake & made exactly as James Bond's order except stirred, not shaken as a martini should be. Generous grapefruit rind garnish, definitely boozey, I think I prefer a standard gin martini better, but def a must have if you want to try something different or if you're feeling like James Bond that evening. Wife had the Mint Julep. It included cognac & bourbon & was very stiff, but surprisingly didn't taste of strong alcohol... the sign of a good drink. My wife was riding high the rest of the night. Good lobby bar for stiff drinks. Would def return.

    Checked out of the hotel and wanted to get a drink at the bar to kill some time before my flight…read more The bar has plenty of seating at the bar and around the area. I opted for a comfier lounge chair next to the bar and checked out the menu on the table. When I was ready to order, I went up to the bar. Which, if you've been to bars in general, they happily take your order and you wait and bring the drinks back to your seat. Well not at Vesper. Went up ready to order and the bartender asked where we were seated and said a waitress would come by and that we couldn't order with him. We sat, we waited 15-20 mins and no one came around. We waited long enough and decided it wasn't worth our money. If trying to get an order in was this difficult, can't imagine what the rest of the service is like.

And we were here for a show and…read moreended up checking out this place after a bartender told us to on property after the show ended. And I'm so glad we did! This is such a cool bar on property at the Rio. It's a very Brazilian vibe in here and just so cool. The lounge seating is absolutely beautiful. I just got a gin and tonic, but next time I come back here, definitely grabbing one of their tropical cocktails which looked so good. There was live entertainment when we were here, too. Such a cool spot. Would definitely come back here again!

Adhering to the Brazil vibe, it has a gold jaguar climbing the bar and a very chique vibe with pops of gold and patterned seat upholstery. And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)

    The highlight of this evening was this hidden speakeasy cocktail bar inside the Bellagio!…read more Paisley greeted us as we entered The Vault and let us know that without a reservation we only had the option of seats at the bar. We've have awesome experiences watching bartenders before AND we were determined to stay so we happily agreed. Paisley was a delight to chat with as we waited for only 10 minutes while seats opened up for us at the bar. I also got to check out the restroom, which boasts a high tech toilet with automated opening/flushing and a heated seat! We had the pleasure of meeting Michael our bartender and Yesi the bartender apprentice, and regulars Bill and Kim from Texas on one side of us, and Mario from California on the other as we spent the next hour and half savoring one luxury cocktail each and some complimentary snacks (seasoned pistachio nuts, cheesy crackers, and a little amazing bite that I can't remember the ingredients of). Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video). A bit sweet for my taste but tasty and just a little shot's worth (to be sipped). Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice! Highly recommend!

The only hint I'll give is that it's located on the casino floor. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess. She asked us if we had reservations or were walking in. I really appreciated this because the way she phrased her question told me they had availability and we would be granted entry. The bar is very small and seats about 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged, however we went on a Monday in February. If you're going on a weeknight during off peak season, you should be okay without a reservation. The hostess gave us the option of sitting at the bar or at a table. We asked her for her rec and she said the bar so that's what we chose. The decor is beautiful. The ambiance is dark and moody. It's perfect for a date night. We were greeted by both bartenders. I believe the bartender that made our drinks was Rory. He was very nice and knowledgeable about cocktails. He was able to answer our questions and make suggestions based on our preferences. As we browsed the menu, we were presented with welcome drinks in a fancy smoky container. I don't recall the name of the drink, but it had a lychee flavor with a sugar rim and it was good! Drinks are extremely pricey which is to be expected in Vegas. It's also on par based on where the speakeasy is located (hint hint). The cheapest cocktail was $30 so prepare yourself for the sticker shock. Some drinks were $80-$100! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I went with the Velvet Moon which was an interesting cocktail consisting of both gin and mezcal. It had flavors of hibiscus and it also had egg white which I absolutely love! The presentation was beautiful and I really enjoyed it! My friend went with the Basilico Bliss which he enjoyed. I didn't try any, but it looked really good. As we were enjoying our drinks, the staff presented us with savory bar snacks. They were tasty and were a perfect compliment to our cocktails. They do have food on the menu, but we had already eaten so we stuck with our complimentary snacks. As we were closing out, the staff presented us with a complimentary mini dessert. Rory described it as a Carajillo Jello shot. I don't like jello (I hate the texture), but I do love Carajillos. My friend does not drink coffee and does not like coffee flavor, so I ate both of them. They were so delicious (but the texture was off putting lol). I typically don't mention the restrooms in my reviews, but this one is worth mentioning. All I have to say is heated seats with a bidet! We really enjoyed our visit. Had the drinks not been so pricey, we probably would have stayed longer. If you enjoy speakeasies and/or craft cocktails, go have a drink at The Vault! The experience alone is worth it!
