Ambassadors Clubhouse: Opulent Punjabi Dining in the Heart of Mayfair
Nestled in the bustling Heddon Street just off Regent Street, Ambassadors Clubhouse offers a lavish celebration of Punjabi cuisine, culture, and hospitality. Part of the acclaimed JKS Restaurant group (behind Gymkhana and Brigadiers), this maximalist sanctuary pays homage to the party mansions of undivided Punjab, creating an immersive dining experience that's both authentic and theatrical.
A Feast for the Senses
The restaurant's interior is a masterclass in opulence – a gold-domed bar serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by richly patterned walls, jewel-toned furnishings, and intricate tilework. The heated outdoor Verandah offers year-round al fresco dining, while three private dining rooms (The Jungli Room, The Tamasha Room, and The Raja Rani Room) provide more intimate settings for special occasions.
Signature Dishes Worth Savoring
The menu explores the culinary traditions of both Indian and Pakistani Punjab, with standout dishes including:
- BBQ Butter Chicken Chops: A modern interpretation of a classic, delivering rich, indulgent flavors
- Mooli Methi Bream: Whole fish cooked on the sigri stove, showcasing the kitchen's technical prowess
- Guinea Fowl Changezi: A royal dish with a creamy, aromatic sauce named after Emperor Genghis Khan
- Lamb Biryani: Perfectly spiced rice concealing tender, flavorful meat
The dining experience begins with an impressive selection of papads, chaats, and 'bitings' (small plates perfect for sharing), followed by kebabs, curries, and breads – all prepared with premium ingredients and authentic techniques.
Beyond Dining: AMBASSY After Hours
As evening transitions to night, the Lower Ground Floor transforms into AMBASSY – a vibrant late-night venue where resident DJs spin a fusion of Punjabi, dance, and trending UK music genres until 2am on weekends. This unique concept creates a seamless journey from fine dining to nightlife, all under one roof.
Whether you're seeking an impressive business lunch, a romantic dinner, or a lively night out with friends, Ambassadors Clubhouse delivers a multifaceted experience that celebrates the generous spirit and culinary heritage of Punjab in the most stylish setting possible.
