" Unfortunately, I had a disappointing visit. The food was subpar this time around, lacking the authentic flavors I expected. The samosas tasted bland, and the palak paneer was too greasy. Service was decent, but it wasn't enough to save the meal. I hope this was just an off day because I used to enjoy this place quite a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant had a nice ambiance that made for a pleasant dining experience. I tried the shrimp curry, which was flavorful but a bit too oily for my taste. The service was friendly, and the portions were decent. I think my expectations were a bit high, so I might give it another shot based on other positive reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Avoid this place at all costs! I regretted my decision to eat here after experiencing terrible service and even worse food. The tandoori chicken was too dry, and the samosas seemed reheated. What a letdown, especially since I'd heard good things. Save your money and try another Indian restaurant instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" We ordered takeout from Ambrosia and I was pleasantly surprised by how everything held up. The chicken kebabs were moist and full of flavor, and the mango lassi was heavenly. The only downside was the wait time, but the staff seemed overwhelmed. That said, I would definitely order again and maybe try next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place, but my experience was less than stellar. The food was mediocre at best. The curries were bland, and the ambiance was dark and slightly disturbing instead of cozy. I might give it another shot if I hear of improvements, but I won't hold my breath. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently hosted a family reunion at Ambrosia. The food was delightful, especially the tandoori chicken and naan. The space was clean and spacious, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, which I truly appreciated. Everyone left satisfied with their meals and having enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the pleasure of dining at Ambrosia, and it was fantastic! I had the vegetarian thali, and every little dish had its own unique flavor. The staff were attentive and made us feel welcome. The restaurant’s layout is quite spacious and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a meal. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
