OUR STORY
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.
