About Us

Where Ambrai came from

ABOUT US

Nestled along Melbourne’s iconic Yarra River, The Ambrai on Yarra brings the vibrant soul of India to the heart of Docklands. Inspired by the Ambrai Ghat of Udaipur — a place of celebration, stories, and shared feasts — our restaurant blends authentic regional flavours with modern riverside elegance.

From the lively streets of Delhi to the royal kitchens of Rajasthan, our chefs recreate timeless recipes using traditional techniques: slow simmering, tandoor grilling, and spice blending passed down through generations.

We believe in hospitality that comes from the heart. Every plate, every spice, and every moment are designed to immerse you in the warmth of Indian dining — right here on the Yarra.

The aroma of the tandoor and the energy in the kitchen make every service feel like a festival. We bring a piece of India to Melbourne every day.

What I love most about Ambrai is how we keep the flavours true to their roots while presenting them with modern finesse. It’s heritage on a plate.

Every dish tells a story — of the people, the regions, and the traditions of India. That’s what makes Ambrai so special.
