Ambassadors Clubhouse is a Northern Indian restaurant in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood that has built a reputation less for walk-up lines and more for an almost impossibly competitive reservation system — coverage of the restaurant cites a waitlist reported in the tens of thousands of people for a table.
In practice, the restaurant releases each upcoming month's reservations roughly two weeks before the 1st, first notifying an email 'Priority List' before the booking window opens publicly, per the restaurant's own FAQ page. Walk-in seating is reported to be scarce, essentially limited to same-day cancellations, with some dining guides suggesting an early arrival right at the 5pm weekday opening as the best (still unofficial) shot at a walk-in table.
