The Restaurant
Ambassadors Clubhouse is a Mayfair restaurant and bar celebrating the food, drink, music and culture of Punjab. It is part of JKS Restaurants, the group behind Gymkhana, Trishna and Brigadiers.
Named after the founders’ grandfather, a former Ambassador, the space draws inspiration from his residence in Northern India and the region’s abandoned party mansions. It reflects the warmth of Punjabi hospitality through the sharing of food and liquor.
The menus highlight the rich culinary heritage of North India’s Punjab, drawing on flavours from roadside stalls, family kitchens, and royal palaces. Rare recipes and traditional techniques are carefully preserved, allowing the cuisine to shine in its most authentic form.
Cocktails bring a sense of theatre and generosity, alongside large serves and a playful selection of shots, with an all-day drinks list that moves seamlessly from lunch into late-night celebrations.
After hours, AMBASSY comes to life on the lower ground floor, a dedicated music space hosting leading global artists throughout the year from the Punjabi music scene and beyond.
In 2026, Ambassadors Clubhouse was awarded one Michelin Star, becoming the first Punjabi restaurant in the UK to receive this honour.
