I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant for a second time, they have a new chef, and yes the first time the food was good but now it was better I have to admit. The food was very tasty and flavorful, I can’t say the same about the desserts but I enjoyed the salty dishes a little too much. On both occasions the service was excellent, the staff is just so calm and affable.

A New York City Gem

One UN Plaza’s “marble and mirrors” interior was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche (1922-2019), founding member of the global architectural firm Roche-Dinkeloo (Ford Foundation, Metropolitan Museum of Art). Designed to complement the adjacent United Nations headquarters building, the hotel’s ground-floor lobby and restaurant are considered to be shining examples of postmodernism—an architectural and design period spanning the late 1960s to early 1990s.

A native of Bokaro, India, Manjit Manohar studied at the Institute of Hotel Management in Pink City, Jaipur. He was hired by the Taj hotel group upon graduation and worked across India and the Maldives before transferring to The Pierre New York City, where he perfected his craft for more than a decade.

Manohar joined Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza in September 2021. As executive chef, he is committed to reflecting the hotel’s cosmopolitanism in his cuisine and honoring the legacy of Ambassador Grill, once known for its flamboyant dining room and over-the-top brunches. “Offering a menu that’s approachable, seasonal, flavor balanced, and memorable—that’s how we’ll keep Ambassador Grill on the map,” he states.
