JKS is the London group behind Gymkhana, and Ambassadors Clubhouse is the sibling that trades the colonial-club conceit for a Punjabi family mansion - clay ovens, sigri grills, breads worth ordering twice. The New York room is nearly identical to the Mayfair original in food and register, which is rare for a transatlantic import. Karan Mittal, out of Indian Accent, is running the kitchen.
What to expect
A large, theatrical multi-level room designed like a mansion for entertaining, with a Punjabi menu built around the grill and the tandoor and a cocktail program to match. Portions and pricing suit sharing across a table. NoMad on a weekend evening means the room runs loud and late; reservations are strongly advised.
Good to know
- This is the first US location of the Mayfair original, from JKS Restaurants, the group behind Gymkhana.
- The kitchen is led by chef Karan Mittal, whose resume includes Indian Accent and Ananda.
- The menu focuses on North India's Punjab region rather than pan-Indian standards.
- The dining room is designed for sharing - order across the table rather than by the plate.
- It sits at 1245 Broadway at West 31st Street in NoMad, near 28th Street on the R and W and 34th St-Herald Sq.
- The room is large but books out on weekends; reserve rather than walking in.
