Ambassador Dining Room

Food: good quality, but a bit overpriced for what you get. As with most Indian restaurants, I think their appetizers are the stars of the show! Don't miss out on the samosa chaat, and try the palak chaat if you're a spinach lover! They have innovative cocktails, a few Indian beers, and an extensive wine list. Service: excellent. I have never seen the restaurant crowded but that just means the food comes out fast and the servers are very attentive and helpful. Ambiance: the vibes are my favorite thing about the Ambassador. They have instrumental Bollywood music playing overhead which gives the experience a romantic and pleasant feel. There are huge windows looking out into a sprawling courtyard, and they open these when the weather allows. During one of my visits it was snowing and my meal felt so magical!

Had the most wonderful night here, the holiday decor was beautiful and service was great from Lactor. Our food was fantastic- we got the tikka Marsala and mashli Tarka They were so helpful despite us not having a reservation, they went out of their way to make sure we got seated. Cannot wait to come back!

Came for a goodbye dinner for daughter departing to college. What a wonderful meal! The atmosphere is so stunning and the service is impeccable. We tried many dishes to share. Love that each dish comes with a side so you can have multiple flavors, this is unique among Indian restaurants. Every dish we had was delicious and we tried all of the sides. We got lucky to come on a cool quiet night and ate outside, so beautiful. Will definitely be back soon. Note that they season more traditionally, so expect heat if you order medium or hotter. (In a good way)

Their brunch is a solid, low key option for day drinking if you are into mimosas and bloodies. The buffet has sufficient variety, doesn't change, and the food is fresh and flavorful. I think the only thing I'd wish for is that the chai was served at a hotter temperature.

Haven't been there in a decade. Tried the buffet on a Sunday. Very expensive. The flavors were good. But the meat dishes were dried out. Wished for more diverse options for the money. Was no different than I could get for half the price at any other area Indian buffet.

My darling and I come here frequently for birthdays and anniversaries. It's a lovely romantic ambience. Excellent choice for a date if you like Indian food. We always get an order of samosas and my honey gets lamb or salmon, and I order aloo gobi. The samosas are delicious and my aloo gobi is always flavorful and hearty. My honey enjoyed the lamb vindaloo extra extra spicy during our last visit.

My husband and I went there for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the ambiance was perfect. It was not our first time and we will definitely go back.

Winter wonderland in the cozy Ambassador Dining Room. Delicious food and impeccable service!

Our party of 6 had our Mother's Day Lunch yesterday and I have never been more disappointed with the food quality than any other Indian restaurant I have eaten in the past 40 years in Maryland, Virginia, New York and California. The Nan was leathery, the Chicken Tikka Masala was dry, the fish fry was passable, the Chana chat was ok. The pakora even had a hair in it - for no extra charge. Not one dish was good. Only the price was impressive at $49.99 per person which included cheap sparkling wine. Even the rice pudding and gulab jamun (only choice) was mediocre. The service was minimal as it was a buffet lunch but the manager was very warm friendly. In hindsight I can see why - he was thinking of his profit margin. Ambiance was ok in a large dining hall overlooking greenery.

I have heard a lot of good about Ambassador Dining room and was expectantly looking forward to dinner on Friday March 30,'24. Walked in and the place has a great ambiance and looks out into a lovely garden area. Ordered appetizers and an entree and the dining experience was very mediocre. The appetizer platter had two lumps of burnt pakoras, one small piece of papadam and one small bhajji and a samosa. I ordered the lamb vindaloo and this was even more underwhelming. It was a lot of tomato sauce with red peppers tossed in and most disappointing. I will not be going back to the Ambassador Dining Room anytime soon.
