Ambassadors Club House - New Opening
Named after the Sethis’ maternal grandfather, a former Indian Ambassador, the restaurant will take inspiration from his summer house in Dalhousie (formerly part of Punjab) and North India’s abandoned party mansions, as well as the founders’ own Punjabi heritage.
The menu focuses on the cuisine of undivided Punjab. Culinary traditions and rare regional recipes will be showcased with a menu featuring classic papads, chaats & bitings, lesser-known kebabs cooked across the tandoor, sigri and tawa; curries cooked in cast-iron karahis and clay matkas, pilaus, biryanis, tandoor-roasted breads, and classic desserts.
An all-day drinks list brings guests through lunch to dinner to late-night party, with a focus on tequila and mezcal cocktails blended with regional produce. Highlights include a selection of ‘Punjabi Margaritas’ all made with exotic north Indian fruits and citrus and paired with chaat masala spiced salts. Encapsulating the traditions of Punjab where hospitality and generosity are celebrated through the sharing of fine liquor in abundance.
The dining room features a maximalist central bar with a gold dome, booth seating and counter dining while the lower ground floor will feature a drinking and dining space, alongside a DJ booth, open until late.
