Ambrosia India Bistro - Monterey

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.

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 !!!

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!

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

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.
