Karam Sethi's Albemarle Street room channels the colonial-era gymkhana clubs of north India, ceiling fans, Anglo-Indian portraits, leather banquettes, but the cooking is the opposite of nostalgia: kid-goat methi keema with sali, wild muntjac biryani, suckling pig vindaloo, the legendary char-grilled kebabs from the sigri grill. The second Michelin star arrived in 2024; the room remains as much Mayfair theatre as restaurant, and the booth tables on the ground floor are the seats to take.

Editor's Tip

Book a ground-floor booth, not the basement, basement is for the after-hours crowd. The kid-goat methi keema and sigri lamb chops are the menu's two non-negotiables. Lunch is markedly easier than dinner; the same menu, half the wait.
