Zambar (restaurant)

Zambar is a restaurant on the 3rd floor of Ambience Mall in Gurgaon, Haryana, northern India. It serves South Indian cuisine, specifically the cuisines of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.[1][2] The restaurant serves Chettinad, Kuttanad, Malabar, Coorgi, Mangalorean and Madras curries and vegetables.[3]

Reception

Delhi Food Tours noted the "typically south Indian spices which can be traced to the open kitchen within seconds. "[4] The Times of India said "Zambar showcases the food of the four southern states, with a preponderance of dishes from Tamil Nadu. The entire staff - kitchen and service - appears to be from the south, so authenticity is spot on. And intriguingly enough, they have three sections of the menu: vegetarian, non-vegetarian and coastal... The Vegetable Avial was the finest version I've eaten in a long time, and mind you, I'm not a particular fan of this homely dish. Brinjal Gingelly was almost as good, but the brinjals (the most prized vegetable in Andhra Pradesh) were too overcooked, the way they'd be in a north Indian dish. In Andhra, they are left with a little bite to them."[5]
