JKS announces Ambassador's Clubhouse

The restaurant group founded by Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi has announced the launch of a new concept, Ambassador's Clubhouse, this summer. 

Located at 25 Heddon Street, Mayfair, the newest restaurant from JKS will celebrate the food, drink, music and culture of the Punjab region. 

Named after the Sethi's 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. 

F&B at Ambassador's Clubhouse

The menu will focus on the cuisine of undivided Punjab. Culinary traditions and rare regional recipes will be showcased with a menu featuring classic papads, chaats and 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. Dish highlights will include paan patta chaat, mooli and dahi kebabs, nalli chapli kebab, karahi saufiyan langoustines, Punjabi atta chicken and haryali rara rabbit keema. 

An all-day drinks list will bring guests through lunch to dinner to late-night party, with a focus on tequila and mezcal cocktails blended with regional produce. Highlights will include a selection of 'Punjabi margaritas', all made with exotic North Indian fruits and citrus and paired with chaat masala spiced salts. Shots, G&Ts, beer and wine will complete the venue's drinks offering. 

The 140-cover space will be split across two floors, featuring a 40-cover outdoor heated verandah and three private dining spaces: The Raja Ranki Room, seating up to 14 guests; The Jungli Room, seating up to six guests; and The Tamasha Room, seating up to 10 guests. 

The restaurant interiors, conceived by North End Design, will feature classic Indian patterns overlaid with bright, modern prints. The dining room will showcase 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.

From September, a dedicated music series will be hosted on the lower ground-floor on selected nights.
