Bombay Gymkhana - Athletic Sports Club in Mumbai - Mumbai, India

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.

Excellent ambience & location. Posh and palatial. Very good food and drinks.

Sports Edit A long building which serves as the lobby, table tennis area, badminton court, restaurant and lounge connects the two roads. The region between the building and the lane is a large ground. It is very difficult to get membership into this exclusive club.[3] Cricket is played here in the winter months, and rugby and football in the monsoon months. This used to be major centre for the erstwhile Bombay Pentangular cricket matches. The ground had the distinction of hosting India's first Test cricket match on 15 December 1933,[4] captained by CK Nayudu. Temporary stands were put up at the ground to accommodate a record crowd of 50,000 people, with tickets selling at five times their usual price.[5] The match is remembered for Lala Amarnaths century, noted to be one of the best innings played in Indian cricket.[6] It hasn't hosted any senior matches since the Brabourne Stadium took its place in 1937, replacing the ground as the venue for the Bombay Pentangular as well as international matches.[7] The ground also has the distinction of hosting the first-ever International Test Cricket match played by the disabled on 10 December 2002. This first-ever Test cricket match of disabled was played between India and England. The match was of one day duration and India had won the match. The Australian cricket team used the grounds to practice prior to their clash with India in the 1996 Cricket World Cup. In 2004, the Indian Women's team played a One Day International versus the Australian Women's team at Bombay Gymkhana.[8] In March 2010, Mumbai Indians played a practice match at the ground ahead of the IPL Season.[9] Later in the year, Canada played a match against a Bombay Gymkhana team to prepare of the World Cup in 2011.[10] The ground also hosts a national rugby competition, and has recently hosted matches against Sri Lanka and a few other South Asian teams as a part of the HSBC Sevens Asia circuit. It has also hosted national and international squash tournaments.[citation needed] Bombay Gymkhana houses three badminton courts, five squash courts, six tennis courts, six tables for billiards and snooker, one swimming pool and a fitness centre.[1] Until a few years ago, only men could gain membership to the club. Women were able to join from the early 2000s.[citation needed]

It is a sporting institution and has been host to a number of iconic spoting evants over the years

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!
