"New York City's Indian dining scene just got a major upgrade with the opening of Ambassadors Clubhouse, just days after the London original received its first Michelin star in the 2026 guide. Located in NoMad at 1245 Broadway, the restaurant covers two floors and embodies the same atmospheric, maximalist style for which the London flagship is so well-known, inspired by northern India's so-called 'party mansions.'"
"Leading the kitchen at Ambassador's Clubhouse 2.0 is Karan Mittal, who grew up in New Delhi, but cut his teeth in some of NYC's best restaurants including Indian Accent, as well as international spots such as Coi in San Francisco and Le Gavroche in London."
"The menu pulls from all levels of Punjabi dining - from the roadside stalls to feasts in royal palaces, and aims to echo the warmth of Indian homes, where food is plentiful and everyone is welcome. Some London signatures - namely the barbecue butter chicken chops and the crispy chilli cheese pakode - are transferring across the Atlantic, but NYC diners will also have some exclusive dishes to themselves, including seven-layered samosas, lamb kebab with naan bread, chicken tikka chaat, and a showstopper seafood tower."
