Embassy is a dining concept born from the British Punjabi experience — created by Kaven Gill as a reflection of dual identity, heritage, and pride. It’s where the traditions of India meet the edge of modern Britain, brought to life through expressive design, curated music, and a bold, globally influenced menu. Inspired by everything from the smoky Dhabas of the GT Road to the refined restaurants of Mayfair, the food reinterprets Indian classics with European flair — celebrating the full spectrum of British Asian identity. More than just a restaurant, The Embassy is a statement of belonging, a celebration of culture, and a place for stories, community, and connection.

Food was very good but we felt rushed by the staff. Atmosphere was lacking in the restaurant but it was a nice setting. Disappointed there was no check back after our food was served. It just felt like the staff wasted us out of there as soon as possible

Compliments to the chef and his staff for once again a wonderful Sunday Carvery Lunch. All restaurant staff extremely friendly and helpful. I have 2 elderly parents with mobility issues but there is always plenty of space in the restaurant. Wish you did the Carvery more often. Will be going again as my parents are small eaters and being able to choose how much and what they want is brilliant. Thank you all so much.
