New York City foodies looking for their next dinner reservation may want to add two new spots to their list.
Two Manhattan restaurants have landed among Yelp’s Best New Restaurants of 2026, putting both among the review platform’s Top 10 new dining spots in the country.
Limusina, a glamorous Mexican restaurant in Hudson Yards, took the No. 3 spot on Yelp’s list, while Ambassadors Clubhouse, a Northern Indian restaurant in NoMad, came in at No. 10.
A Hudson Yards hotspot takes the No. 3 spot
For a night out with a little drama, Yelp points diners toward Limusina, a Hudson Yards restaurant from Quality Branded, the restaurant group behind Don Angie and Bad Roman.
Housed in a space that was formerly a parking garage, Limusina has been transformed into what the restaurant’s creative director described to Yelp as a glamorous, elevated Mexican concept.
Executive Chef Craig Koketsu’s menu includes Queso Fundido flambéed with Xtabentún liqueur from the Yucatán and the Black Truffle and Guava Jam Machete, a sword-shaped quesadilla that Yelp describes as mixing sweet and savory flavors.
According to Yelp, diners have praised Limusina not only for its food, but also for its warm, lively atmosphere and creative twists on Mexican classics.
Northern Indian cuisine earns a Top 10 spot
A few neighborhoods away, Ambassadors Clubhouse landed at No. 10 on Yelp’s ranking.
Located in NoMad, the restaurant is the U.S. debut from siblings Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants.
The concept is a tribute to Northern Indian cuisine and the Punjab region and is named for the siblings’ grandfather, according to Yelp.
Diners can order à la carte or opt for one of the restaurant’s four-course “feasts,” which offer the chance to sample several dishes.
Among the standouts featured by Yelp are the Beetroot Raj Kachori Chaat and Original BBQ Butter Chicken Chops.
According to Yelp, the spot has become a tough reservation to score, with diners praising the restaurant’s energetic Punjabi music and style.
