Ambersari Dhaba near Defence Colony Flyover Market is quite a famous location for all meat lovers since the last 15 years or so.
The meat served here is known for the desi ghee in which it is cooked, and for being spicy. The quality of the mutton is very tender.
The place is mainly a takeway joint, though it has 3 - 4 tables inside. The menu is very limited and offers 5 - 6 dishes namely:
1. Keema Meat
2. Keema Kaleji
3. Keema Egg Curry
4. Chicken Biryani
5. Chicken Korma
6. Dal Makhni
The last two items might not be available at all times, and maybe served only during the dinner time.
The breads at this place surprisingly are of quite a good quality, all 3 i.e. roti, naan and paratha taste great.
However, as times have passed the quality and the spice level both have gone down a bit, but still would suggest to give this place a shot if you live nearby/in Lajpat Nagar and looking for good mutton options.
Tucked into a corner near the defence colony market, this place serves some of the best food. Keema meat and keema kaleji is one of the best in Delhi. The seating is spacious but not very good for families.
It's a very cozy and warm small place to order from
Food is superlative and served with extreme generousness and care.
The owners are very down to earth and serve themselves too.
I have never had such amazing naan ,biryani and mutton dish than here.
Must must eat.
The authentic place to have best Keema kaleji in Desi ghee. Reach on time else the food is over . Have repeatatio of gravy chicken not so good
Good food to grab if you’re drinking with friends at home. Try their Keema Egg. Biryani isn’t that good but Rumali Roti and Keema should do the night for you and fill you up well. Give it a try!
Hi thus place is for true mutton lover , you will get the flavor of desi ghee with mutton .. menu is limited but old good place to have rara c Curry mutton
Best mutton and chicken biryani u can get any where in Delhi eating at this place sine 2014 best preparation in desi ghee it’s lovely my friend just bust it once u will love it
Only the mutton is good. The biryani is crappy.
But having said that , the mutton is probably the best of its kind in the entire city.
It tastes like Bihari mutton curry and isn’t very heavy. The gravy is cooked in ghee but u don’t feel it being very oily.its actually watery but well cooked.
So what I recommend is to eat it with plain rice. Get rice from somewhere n eat the mutton with that.
They make all their food in ghee .... it’s pretty rare!
I was just passing by this place and felt the aroma so strongly that I stopped to try what was cooking. They have very few items in menu which shows that they want to sell what they specialise in and not everything under the sun.Good taste. Nice aroma. Quick service.
Preparation of food is amazing .I liked their keema curry ,egg curry with naan and roti .want to try their chicken biryani as well.
Economic to eat and matches all taste buds .
Wow what a wonderful place the economic and the best place I've their k really had a very good time over their and it was really good to eat amritsari food over their and the food is something which is really very good !
We have been eating from this location for almost 12 years, food is too good,
Limited menu and everything worth a very single penny,
Chicken Biriyani, with spicy Punjabi touch in lunch is to die for,
Must try their Parantha, it’s the best parantha, you can ever get in Delhi
I recommend this place to all Non-Vegetarian food lovers,
full five stars ⭐️
If you are a true foodie than you surely know this place. Ambersari Dhaba is in Lajpat Nagar don't get confused for central market. It's one of the famous joint for take away.
As for the taste the food is spicy and super oily. The meals are cooked in pure Desi ghee. The prices are budget friendly.
Awesome Keema Meat...
Perfectly cooked... had 2 plates there and got 2 packed even..
Must try for sure....
It's a normal Dhaba that served only 5-6 items but everything tastes Superb😙😙
Highly Recommended!!
Had a chance to visit this new restaurant as we wanted to have something hot in the winters. In my 21 years of stay in Delhi I found this place too good to be true. We ordered keema curry and it was served with onions sprinkled with chat masala which is a must to have as the spicy flavor comes in it coz of the use of more of garam masala and black pepper. One must go and try if they want to have a different flavor of mutton curry and when they have hunger pangs only then it can be enjoyed...
If you ever happen to visit Lajpat Nagar,this place shouldn’t be left for non veg lovers..good place to dine in with reasonable pocket..best place for mutton lovers,mutton made from pure desi ghee..limited items on the menu..keema kaleji and keema mutton are must haves..highly recommended...
If u love spicy food then one should definitely try it from this place !! Amazing keema meat with butter naan or lachaa parantha !! Must visit place !!
Ambiance is not good, only 4 or 5 tables for sitting that too very congested. But the food is delicious. must try Keema Meat 200/- for 2 pc with keema gravy spicy and hot. desi ghee used.
The famous mouth watering keema meat and chicken korma ❤️👅with tandoori rotis is the only thing you need at a cheap price but with an amazing taste ❤️
Best place for mutton lovers , mutton made from pure desi ghee, if you are pure punjabi then I am sure u are totally addicted of keema meat with parantha. Chicken biryani is also so good.
Quality wise is 10/10 pure ,
Value for money is 10/10 ,
Service 10/10
Sitting 7/10 (ignore if u r mad for taste.)
Must try.
Have you ever tried mutton curry made from pure desi ghee?
We don't get food prepared from pure desi ghee in Delhi these days which makes Ambersari Dhaba a unique place of its own kind.
It is not very decorated place as the name would suggest. Kitchen is in open facing the road and seating is inside. My friend has earlier tried this place and liked it so this time around he convinced me to visit this place again.
We ordered Keema curry and prantha. Keema was really unique. We could smell the aroma of desi ghee. It was spiced to perfection. Mutton was really soft and tender. It was delectable. It was great to have desi ghee prantha after such a long time. I can hardly remember the last time I had prantha made from desi ghee. Probably it would have been in my childhood.
If you are tired of having the same mutton dishes you get in every second restaurant and want to try something unique you can head towards this dhaba.
Cheers :)
Limited seats in the dining area and limited items to offer.
The mutton is really exquisite with spicy gravy and juicy kaleji.
A must try place for mutton lovers.
Place is not big...only 5 tables...but is mostly filled...went there for lunch and had to wait 10 minutes for a table and another 15 min. to get food on the table...limited items on the menu...ordered keema meat with tandoori roti...the meat was prepared in desi ghee(clarified butter) with keema gravy and was very spicy...the mutton pieces were not cooked enough...the keema meat reminded of pooran singh's meat in ambala...both are quite similar...also ordered chicken biryani which was good and spicy and chicken was also tender...overall spicy punjabi food...prices are also low
Ambersari is a OK OK types place with a feel of home cooked Keema and Meat. I went there after listening a lot about from Frnds. U have many wine shops near by and a train stretch to drink freely;)
Keema meat is really nice and keema kari(curry) is good as well. Masalas can be guaranteed not as high as Gullu's. Mutton is said to be cooked in desi ghee but u don't get such a feeling(personal). Otherwise food was great and I did not get to kno next morning that I went to Ambersari last night(as we do get to kno wen we go to Rajinder da Dhaba). Two brothers are making their mark in the midst of restaurant market in Lajpat Nagar. It was nice interacting with them and I also suggested them to start keema rice. I feel these kind of less masala gravies can be better dealt with rice and all. But overall a good experience.
This place serves u with masale wala Punjabi food. They have various variety of mutton keema combinations and all tastes really good the biryani they serve is a bit different from Hyderabadi or Lucknowi biryani which we often have but it's kind of desi biryani.
guys it closed since month due to mcd not letting them open.we are craving for such meat.please suggest if any similar place.i am calling every second day when they will open but no concrete answer
More delicious, palatable and pure taste of non veg food is here... you will never find such a taste in Delhi/NCR, This place not look like a five star restaurants but really beats the big five star restaurants with its taste and pure quality.
This place is a must visit for keema mutton and keema kaleji... For having biryani u have to go there around lunch time.. Sitting is like a normal regular dhaba, but the food is really amazing.. Prepared in pure desi ghee..
8 vaje de lagee. Meat type feeling awe ta etho Keema Meat pack kraye banda. Desi Gheo da baneya meat 💫.. Khass review by Rajbir Singh Saddal
Very nice place to eat....one of best keema mutton..must rehaul airconditioning in next summers as its not effective...food excellent...great going...
One of the best korma meat in delhi. Mutton was nicely slow cooked and was soft n juicy. Never had mutton like that in city. Prefectly balanced spices. I would suggest to must try once.
This place is a shining example of less is better.They have a very limited menu (just five items) but every item is mastered to perfection.The flavors of chicken korma and chicken biryani are just over-whelming.I am certain I cant find better tasting curry and biryani in delhi.The curry tastes even better with sliced onions and meat masala.The biryani is served only during daytime.
The meat is cooked slowly over flames and the spices can literally blow smoke out of your ears.Be very cautious if you cant handle that much spices but atleast try it once ; I am sure you will still find it finger-lickin good.
There is nothing quirky or fancy about the ambience.It is a true dhaba in every sense but not unhygienic in any way.This place beats even the big names when it comes to taste and quality.
TASTE:4.5/5
SERVICE:4/5

One of the many road side dhabas that you will come across in Delhi. The fact that the place is surrounded by many and some decently big names in d food industry and still does well is a testament to the food that they serve. The place only serves non veg food and that too just 5 items. A lot of people can learn a thing or two from here.... Quality and not quantity will drive your business
The food is quintessentially dhaba food and their keema meat and keema kaleji is d flagship driver.
The food is slightly on the spicier side and people with low tolerance to spices should keep off. Having said that even if you do not or can not tolerate spices do try this out once for the sheet taste itself.
Their biryani too is exceptionally good. The flavor comes through in every grain of rice and is unlike most biryanis that you would have had.
Once you try this place out - it will be difficult for you to not to go back to this dhaba again
Though they do have a small sit in area as well - but if your have family or kids - you'll be better off packing d food n having it at your place. This is no way means that the place is shady or is unhygenic. However, with a bunch of friends sitting there and having steam hot keema meat and tandoori roti - you're in for a food orgasm
A highly recommended and a must try place for all non veg lovers.
Special recommendation - keema meat, keema kaleji and chicken biryani.
A small dhaba tucked away in the madness of South Delhi.
Love this place for being ONLY non-veg!!!
IN YOUR FACE VEGGIES !!!!
Mutton is spicy and good.
Next time will try the chicken briyani.
This place serves one of the best chicken biryani. The biryani was perfectly cooked and the chicken pieces were very tender and soft. You can also have extra gravy on demand. But all other dishes are very average. Keema kaleji was the worst. Although air conditioned but small seating and the place is very congested.
One of the best biryani in delhi NCR . and other items are also good . though sitting is not good .but as a foodie service and food is lip smacking and amazing
This place sits as a legend in Lajpat nagar . The mutton keema for which they are know for is a home cooked style mutton gravy which is spicy . The first bite with the whole wheat roti and I could feel the heat . The mutton was cooked to perfection and loved every bite of it .
The place is not something you can bring your family along so If you live near by come and get it because they don't event deliver
So so place. . Ok if you are in for spicy treat...Once in a while chalta hai. ... would not make it a regular joint. ..
Guyz just visit this place for its mutton .... The best desi ghee mutton in town ....
This place is very reasonable .... Easy on the pocket ... Its not a restaurant its a dhaba .... And the food is so good ... Highly recommended ....
this place Ambersari is a very small joint and is hard to find but because we have been treated to this food joint since we were kids it's not that hard... it has a small sitting arrangement mostly everyone prefers take away...keema kaleji and kaleji mutton are must haves..though the base gravy remains the same for all the dishes still you cannot resist any of them.. a must try for authentic punjabi food lovers...!!
A real authentic taste from multan Punjab, which my nahi used to cook. One of the best in its class through out delhi ncr. They say they cook in desi ghee & that's true. Coz what they cook, you can smell the fragrance from half a mile away. Keema kaleji or keema mutton must try. Quantity is less for two which gets over with 2 chapati each from 170 ₹ plate. So if you go don't try sharing your plate if you r hungry
This place serves true Authentic dhaba style keema meat...
Awwwwweeeeeesoooommeeeeee thts it, must hav briyani n keema meat curry
OK, one of the real gems of the area. Not really in the line of shops under the flyover in Def Col; off to one side, in Lajpat Nagar facing the railway line. Terrible place to eat; even parking your car's not such a good option. Nor do they deliver. So, altogether, difficult to access their stuff. The only thing to do is to order takeaway, and to send someone to get it.
But here's the thing: their keema is awesome. Really, the keema is the kind of keema that you dream about on cold winter nights. It's the kind of keema that you imagine hearty truck drivers are eating at a roadside dhaba somewhere between Amritsar and Jalandhar. It's the kind of keema that, after you've had a third of the box, you (a) can't eat any more because you're full and (b) can't eat any more because you want someone else to try it, its so good.
So, yes, order the keema.
never judge a book by its cover.... same goes for this place.... amazingly epic biryani.. served with keema curry that is just as awesome... food is very cheap..... quality of this kind of food..is very hard to find anywhere in delhi... keema meat is extremely spicy....
Awesome Biriyani !! Once again don't judge this place on the basis of ambience and all. The food is just awesome. Biriyani is available only for lunch & its recommended to be there by 1:15 to get a seat. They serve it from 2 & stock runs out by 3.
Food is amazing. Very limited menu with all Desi Ghee preparation. Biryani is only available in lunch timings. ambience is not vey good as it is just a dhaba...........
Only Dal Makhni is available for vegetarians.
