The food here was excellent. The butter chicken tasted delicious and the chicken tikka masala was cooked to perfection. The temperature of the chicken was perfect and warm. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the JHU area, particularly for a more intimate and atmospheric vibe.

Not sure why I skipped over this place for almoat 30 years, but I’m glad I had the experience tonight. We shared the appetizer sampler followed by the sheesh kebab and chicken tika masala paired with the rosemary naan and keema naan. Absolutely delicious! Don’t sleep on the cardamom ice cream either. Side note: The Old Fashion was average. They’re not shy on the spice which we loved.

My wife and I are in town to see our daughter for Christmas. We are staying at the Hilton Colonnade next door. When the front desk attendant recommended the Ambassador Dining Room for excellent Indian food, steps away, we thought that sounded like a great idea. And it was! We didn’t have a reservation and were seated after a short wait, next to a beautiful functioning fireplace with a big red, lit-up bow over it. The food was excellent, as was the service and timing. Everyone was friendly, and the owner checked in with us at the end. We want to return next time we visit our daughter. Thank You, Ambassador Dining Room⭐️

Love the Ambassador! Beautiful decor (holiday decorations are gorgeous!) and staff is so nice. But best of all is the food. Really enjoyed our lunch yesterday!

We were super pleased with everything here. Food was top notch and the service was at its best. They took care of us as if we were part of their family. Helped us choose right items and customized it to our taste. Super impressed. Would highly recommend to others.

Would highly recommend. The service was incredible — we ordered one entrée to share, and without us even asking, they split and plated it into two separate dishes. Small considerations like that are what elevate good service to truly great service. The food was excellent as well: not overly sweet like many other Indian restaurants, but authentic and flavorful. The ambiance was wonderful too.

Had a wonderful experience at the Ambassador Room!! I hosted a birthday party and the staff was so friendly and accommodating!! The brunch buffet was delicious!! Everything was labeled and also noted if it was a vegetarian entree, which several in our group appreciated. They also included drinks with the brunch- such as Grey Goose vodka and champagne!! Everyone had a wonderful time!! Very much recommend if you are looking for delicious Indian food!!!

Fantastic Indian food with excellent old-world service! Elegant atmosphere features open air garden seating in summer and fireplaces in winter. Weekend buffet with great selection of vegetarian, meat and seafood choices. All of your fav hot Indian breads too. Highly reccomend!

The Ambassador Dining Room is a certified banger, and I know bangers. With windowside seating next to a delightful courtyard you can listen to traditional Indian instrumental tunes while watching the birds. I've been pulling up on their elite buffet for over twenty years and they still serve that fire. If you ain't been here you really missing out on an experience my friend. Kick back with a mango lassi and tear off a piece of naan, fresh from the tandoori. Dip that joint in the palak paneer and you won't want to leave. The servers really cool for real. Pull up in the AM on a Monday and you might get served the check by the owner himself. Can't recommend this place enough. The spice level is obviously Indian food made for our melanin deficient pals, but don't get it twisted, the flavor is there. The rice is always cooked to perfection and the lamb vindaloo is tender.

The food here is incredibleee. Love the brunch buffet for ~$30 which also has self serve beverages. I had mimosa, mango lassi, chai, and coffee. The patio has nice light and greenery to look at.

Leslie Finke

Absolutely delicious! The chicken tikka masala was out of this world, and the naan was perfectly warm and fluffy. The service was just as wonderful—kind, attentive, and welcoming. A truly delightful dinner experience at Ambassador Restaurant.

Brianna Hicks

Excellent service. The staff are very attentive to your needs. The food was delicious and came at a reasonable time. The ambiance is classy and calm. I will definitely be back.

This is a hidden gem! Excellent food, awesome space. And so close to the Homewood campus! As someone that just moved into the neighborhood, my wife and I are definitely gonna walk over here again soon.

This place was amazing. It's a little restaurant within the hotel. The Chana Masala with rice and creamed spinach was absolute divine perfection. The garlic naan and the roti were terrifically delicious. The mango lassi was heavenly. The great thing about the naan, too, was that it stayed soft and doughy throughout dinner and even when it became leftovers after taking some more home. Many times, I've had naan that gets all crispy in the middle, but this was great. Seriously, everything I ordered was phenomenal. The price of the Chana Masala was a bit high end, however. $22.95 for the dish, served in healthy portions. It was very well presented on the plate, so everything felt more upscale. However, Chana Masala is a dish one make at home well, too, and for that price, it's high. Flavor wise, though, I admit, I would not have been able to replicate the quality. The view was also gorgeous. We sat outside with a view of the lawn, the buildings nearby, and sunset. Nicely atmospheric. Small table with 4 of us, which we were able to get without making a reservation. The wait staff was attentive, so no one ever felt neglected. Overall, I thought this place, despite the prices, was probably the best Indian food I might've ever had so far....

We had a group of 4 people come in. It was pretty close to closing time, so I believe we were the only people in the restaurant. Service was very professional and accommodating; they kindly gave us a seat near the fireplace, given that it was quite chilly outside that night. We got the malai kofta, chicken tikka masala, and paneer tikka masala dishes, if I'm remembering correctly (it's been a few months since our visit). All of the dishes were delicious. They were well seasoned, creamy, aromatic, and presented nicely. The naan's we ordered came in a basket with linen cloth. Each curry came with a serving of rice, so keep this in mind if you're looking for a light meal. They will tell you this when taking your order. I would definitely visit again, but the prices were quite high for the quantity and amount of food served. Rice tends to be pretty cheap, so it seems the entrees themselves were slightly overpriced. If you're looking for something similar for less, consider Sakoon on St. Paul St. This is still a very good visit though, especially for the atmosphere and building.

Wonderful and historic setting. Extremely professional staff. The appetizers (the sample platter) was absolutely delicious. Maybe the best I've had. When the entrees arrived, the dishes were beautiful and the portions were great, but they were very under seasoned. The spice levels were milder than expected as well. A tad bit disappointing, seeing as how the appetizers were soooo great. Knowing that a chef isn't always performing at their best, I will definitely give them another try.
