The Residence

A Colonial
Circuit House,
Restored.

An 1863 colonial circuit house has been painstakingly restored over two years by Sanchit Arora of Renesa Architecture Design Interiors Studio. Rather than altering the existing structure, the design of the old bungalow has been retained — walls and ceilings of different heights standing intact exactly as they were.


Unlike most restaurants with a common dining hall, The Governor House is divided into six distinct rooms, each evoking its own vibe and personality. Dining here feels less like a restaurant experience and more like being invited into a governor's private residence for a grand evening.

"We wanted to bring the old-world charm back to Amritsar — nobody has restored old buildings quite like this." — Kavish Khurana · Founder, Elgin Hospitality
The Architecture

Six Worlds
Within One.

Each room at The Governor House carries its own character, furniture, light and soul — unlike any restaurant in Amritsar. You don't dine in a room. You inhabit one.

The Drawing Room
01 The Drawing Room

A grand piano, gilded mirrors and a chequered floor. The first room you encounter — and the one that sets the tone for everything that follows.

The Reading Room
02 The Reading Room

Soft lamps, arched alcoves, a chandelier and curated books lining the shelves. The most contemplative corner of the residence.

The Assembly Hall
03 The Assembly Hall

Where the bar resides — spirit-forward, amber-lit, and always at the centre of the evening's most animated conversations.

The Council Chamber
04 The Council Chamber

Private, deliberate, formal. For occasions that demand a room with a sense of history and the weight of consequence.

The Governors Parlour
05 The Governors Parlour

Intimate, feminine and refined — the most personal room in the residence. A space that seems to hold its breath for you.

The Archive Room
06 The Archive Room

Stacked with history, artefacts and the quiet hum of another century — every object has been hand-picked by the founders.

The Kitchen

Indian Craft.
Global Routes.

Chef Anuj Wadhawan explores dishes that evolved along trade routes — Southeast Asia, the Pacific, Europe — while honouring Amritsar's street food heritage with white-glove precision and silver service.

The Table

Plated & served.

A glimpse of what leaves the kitchen — silver service, and a little theatre with every course.
