Ambassadors Clubhouse

What people say, in short
Ambassador's Clubhouse is an upscale Indian restaurant that many diners recommend, and one visitor calls it fantastic and worth the hype. The butter chicken pops earn particular praise, with one diner calling them probably the best chicken dish in years, and the beetroot chaat and prawns also get a strong mention. Views on the rest of the menu are mixed: one diner found the lamb chops and butter chicken fine but not remarkable and the desserts unimpressive, while another felt the meat-forward approach was gimmicky. A few people point to the dining room, ambience and service as the main draw, and one commenter says lunch is easy to walk into most days.

Meat-forward and gimmicky; butter chicken chops didn't stand out, lassi too foamy and warm; overhyped but not disappointing.

Tandoor salmon better than other dishes; mushroom entree gross; service meh on two visits.
