NYC’s Only Charcoal Tandoor Indian Restaurant Has a 12,000-Person Waitlist — Mise En Place
At New York City’s new and most in-demand restaurant, Ambassadors Clubhouse, executive chef Karan Mittal brings a refined and deeply rooted approach to Punjabi cuisine, showcasing a wide range of its regional offerings. The restaurant, which is a sister concept to London’s Michelin-starred establishment of the same name as well as two-starred Gymkhana, is the only restaurant in Manhattan cooking with a traditional charcoal tandoor, which adds a distinct smoky depth to dishes like the Royal Atta Chicken (a dish that takes three days to make), Masala Lamb Chops, and Aloo Mattar Satpura (a crispy seven-layer samosa).

That Kotkapura Royal Atta Chicken (bird shaped) is the most exceptionally presented dish ive ever seen.
Waiting list is only going to increase. Kudos to hardwork
love that many of the food is served on stainless steel plates
It looks great, authentic, and the portions are really nice, but again, you can´t claim that "it is traditional/regional Punjabi food" if no one in Punjab could afford it. Is food adapted to the specific criteria of rich Western people (the ones who can afford it) with some Punjab inspiration. That's what having Michelin stars truly means.
that's Pakistani food, not Indian.
Mittal ji cooking mutton here while his baniya bros demonizing muslims in India for eating mutton on Bakr Eid
And I thought getting a reservation at Dorsia was difficult. Joking aside, the food looks really tasty. 🙂
This felt like the least pretentious indian restaurant i have seen in New York. The chefs mean business. No frills.
not sure that this only punjabi food, seems like loads other regions have the same thing too. Samosa is surely not just punjabi
In all my Cooking experience at home, doing things myself from scratch and learning, there is one most important lesson I learnt that its all about controlling the heat!
How much do that duck cost?
🌟 Indian Cuisine is #1 on the 🌎 … Factuality 💯 ..
Punjabi Punjabi Punjabi… stfu mate
8:48 "Every second counts" Just like The Bear
Even the Michelin crews got to wait and they better come with some stars
It’s on the list… let’s hope it won’t break the bank account.
Rarely eat at Punjabi restaurants in London as always been disappointed as nothing hits like the home cooked food locally. However, went to Ambassadors in London and it was truly magical. Enjoy New Yorkers !
Food looks amazing honestly, but nothing and I mean NOTHING is worth these exclusive waitlists. It just alienates us normal people when the product is obviously catered to a niche group.
i need subtitles
Too cool stuff.
Just remember. Real indians don't eat meat. 😂😂
That includes panjabis.
I’ll never get to taste this heavenly looking food but one can dream 🤤 so much effort and soul goes into each dish 🥹
I ain’t gonna lie , but first thing is paratha when it comes for Punjabi food not samosa. In ma mind
Wow
Amazing !!! Well done to the chef and the entire team, I love indian food but this is an entirely different level, inspiring and delicious 😋
12,000 people waiting to get diarrhea is wild 😂. Just playing, Im sure its fire.
My only issue is the my man with a beard needs to wear beard hair net
Those lamb chops look so good lol
“Putting love into food” is one of the most idiotic ways to sell a craft or insinuate passion. Just stop.
Hank Hill would not approve
respect to whoever on mint chiffornade duty
They have really f***ed authenticity. What are they really doing, my prayers to those who want to try authenticity and was up to such “noutenkis”
The passion, pride and promotion of PUNJAB is heartwarming
