"The flavors did not feel authentic or fresh. The selection of dishes was limited, though it offered a decent variety. I would recommend swapping out a few items for more traditional options like Chicken Kebab or Chicken 65, as well as Lamb or Mutton curry. While it didn't directly impact the taste, I noticed that the presentation of the dishes could be improved; some starters were placed at the end alongside dessert, and the main course appeared rather haphazardly arranged in between. Additionally, considering the temperature, the restaurant could benefit from offering a hot soup and ice cream, which pairs nicely with the jamoon. On a positive note, the standout items were the Papad, Chicken Tandoor, Veg Pulao, and Chicken Curry with roti."

Nice Halal restaurant around here. The serving size is small considering the price. Liked the tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala.

Service okay, Lassi was so bad. Samosa chat was not authentic. And we ordered hydrabadi Chicken biryani, the biryani they gave us was like fried chicken. I won't recommend this to anyone. View menu

Best value deal here is buffet, apparently the only indian buffet place in town. Heard that they won't be opening Buffet anytime soon post pandemic. Their food quality is not worth the price on Ala-cart menu. Rather prefer kohinoor than Ambar, for Ala-Cart order.

This food is amazing! I don’t have a lot of experience with the Indian cuisine, however I really wanted to try something new. Their menu has a lot of options, both vegetarian/vegan and non-vegetarian, as well as a lot of appetizers and sides. We ordered a lamb dish, paneer tikki masala, cheese naan, and samosas. I also tried out the chai and it was a great addition to the fact that it was chilly that day.
