"TLDR: Do yourself a favor and stay as far away as possible. Food and service are pathetic.Service: My parents went in for food around 8.30pm, and even though they state 9.00pm as closing time, they were denied seating and was told service was stopped and they could only pick up. If this is the case they should clearly say so in their listing online.Atmosphere felt cold and uninviting. They seemed unhappy that someone came in at that time and that they had to do their freakin job. Very sad indeed.Food: They managed to whip up all the food that was ordered in 5 mins first red flag). When we got the food to the hotel, literally up few floors in the intercontinental, and tried it, we almost barfed. The food, all of it, was disgusting and felt super stale. The naans were uncooked and rubbery, the butter chicken very sweet and looks like they cooked the chicken whole as the pieces were enormous taste nothing close to what it's supposed to be). The goat was passable. Needless to say we threw all the food out and had to find some other thing to eat. How pathetic that they masquerade as an Indian restaurant and there is literally nothing indian about it, let alone nothing consumable."

Service was bad. Food was meh. The taste was good but very small portions for the price and not worth it.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in the US. My husband and I shared the butter naan and I had chicken tikka masala. I definitely had my full!

For a person who has been eating Indian food for over 10 years this one so far is the best found it 3 years ago. The flavor of that chicken curry they make is second to View menu

I come here every week to enjoy the delicious food. I’ve met many of the employees and they care about your experience in their restaurant. Perfect place for lunch and dinner. I will continue to come and enjoy delicious food.

This was our favorite place when we lived here from 2018-2021! Unfortunately, the service has taken a nose dive and the prices have increased *this place still has amazing food).Inflation has hit us all, but we were flabbergasted by the incredibly poor service followed by a $200 bill for 5x mains, rice, Naan, and 1x beer. Again, the food is great, but the service left A LOT to be desired.

So this is 2nd time visiting this place and had the same bad experience like the first time !Firstly the taste and quality of the foodAnd the quantity of food what you get for the price you pay is way too less !!The staff is kind of rude and they don’t seem to be interested in Indian crowd it’s my personal experience )They don’t even greet you a with smile on their facesIt’s like you enter the restaurant and just place the order eat n leave attitudeVery rude staff and treat them right and don’t give that don’t care attitude !!!

Came on an oddly slow Friday night. When I asked how the fish curry was cooked they brought the chef out to talk to me, don’t get that often at an Indian restaurant. He assured me the fish curry was one of their best dishes so we ordered it and malai kofta. Curry was great. Malai kofta was heavy on the tomato sauce, I’ve had it with more of a cream base that I liked better but this was still really good. Naan could use a little butter but overall a great meal.Also loved that the server didn’t hover over us while we left a tip he deliberately dropped the credit card machine off and turned away while we completed the transaction!

ABYSMAL. Ambrosia deserves its own “0” star category. I am baffled at the food and service quality. Just shocked I mean you have to really try to make the food awful. Their “best” dish Shahi Paneer was made in canned tomatoes with the worst aftertaste. They successfully made the dish sweet as the primary taste and spicy as an aftertaste. I mean kudos to making the worst Indian meal I have had in my life. It was so bad that I even said so to the cashier. Plus, the server kept looking at his watch while taking our order at 7.30pm when the restaurant closes at 8.45pm. I am shocked at this restaurant SHOCKED HOW IS THIS RESTAURANT OPEN?
