What people say, in short
Jamavar in Mayfair is recommended as an upscale Indian option, often alongside Gymkhana. One commenter would choose it over Gymkhana, and another likes it when a Gymkhana booking is unavailable. A diner calls it excellent, while a dissenter prefers South Asian restaurants further from the centre. Its place in high-end recommendations should not be read as a budget recommendation.
