  • Michelin starred Indian Cusine
  • Strolling the Marylabone Village location
  • Wine pairing suggestions

The smaller sister to Michelin-starred Indian mecca Gymkhana, Trishna, based in Marylebone Village, was awarded a Michelin star in 2012, which it retains today, in recognition of its contemporary coastal cuisine of southwest India. It’s five-course tasting menu is just £60, with wine pairings available for an additional £60. Its extensive wine list if overseen by Sunaina Sethi, and focuses on everything from fine wines from niche producers to wines from emerging regions and boutique wineries from all over the world.

Here’s what our Wine List Confidential team had to say about its offer: “Particular emphasis is given to wines abrim with aromatics and acidity, with Istria Malvazija (Santa Lucia, Kozlovic) and Grand Cru Gewürtztraminer (Steingrubler, Barmes Buecher, Alsace) poured by the glass on a list that also promotes the virtues of Greek Assyrtiko, dry Tokaji from Hungary and Luxembourgeoise Rivaner. Every dish on the menu is offered with a corresponding wine, from Kori Gassi (chicken drumsticks, Mangalorean spices and coconut) with Bierzo, to guinea fowl biryani with Barbera d’Asti. The combination is a gastro-oenophile’s dream.”
