Ambassador Dining Room

The staff was very friendly. We ordered delivery. The food is good, but very sweet. We got Tikka masala, Korma shama, the appetizer platter, and Tikka Murgh. This was the sweetest version of our main courses we have ever had. The appetizers themselves were good, and not too sweet, but all the dipping sauces were very sweet. Some of them were quite interesting, but it would have been nice to have more spice overall and less sugar. Some may like this, and that's fine, but too sweet for our preference.

I usually go here for the Sunday brunch with Mimosas, Screwdrivers and Bloody Marys and a classic buffet line plus desserts, but à la carte is extensive and well executed. If you ask for “spicy”, it will be! The star of the show continues to be the great rooms adjoining the garden terrace (back wall opens in summer!) and gas fireplaces (lit in winter). Very atmospheric.

We dined at the Ambassador Dining Room for the first time last weekend. The staff was so helpful, they even came out to help us find the front door (haha we were a little lost). The staff was so helpful in recommending dishes. I had the chicken madras (curry) which was fantastic! My husband had the Tikka Masala which is his go-to but said it was one of the best he's had. The presentation of the food is spectacular and the atmosphere if you can dine on the patio in the nice weather like we did, can't be beat. We can't wait to go back to try their brunch!

Hidden gem (literally tucked away inside an apartment building with minimal signage) , but we’ll known to Hopkins folk. Every dish was prepared brilliantly albeit exceptionally pricey. Plates were served as-ordered per-person which I’d wished was disclosed, not like typical shareable Indian dishes, but our party of twelve enjoyed their dishes. Service was good but could have been much much better, more attentive, more engaging, especially given the price. Even with that oversight, the site itself is just lovely outside next to a garden space.

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.

Lovely Indian restaurant with friendly staff, a pleasant slightly upscale atmosphere and delicious food. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, great flavors. Ordered soups (the mulligatawny was super good and spicy, and the butternut soup was tasty), breads (naans, papadam) and several vegetarian entrees, and it was all great. Staff and owner are delightful. Will be back

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....
