  We go here at least once a week.  We both like to sample lots of different dishes, so prefer buffet.  Buffet for both lunch & dinner.  Fresh food at peak hours, but mid-afternoon, I would count on limited selection & spotty quality.
  
  They have a special rice dish with light curry & onion that I love.  Tandoori is yum when it's fresh.  Yummy soups.  Always lots of choices.

  I downloaded Yelp for the sole purpose of reviewing Ambar India. For starters, I really wanted to like this place. A close friend of mine frequently recommended it to me as a solid choice for lunch or dinner; so whenever I visited for the first time, I was really excited. Boy was my friend wrong. First of, the environment was incredibly uninviting. Whenever I ordered, the woman behind the register gave off the energy of one who's time was being wasted whilst conveying a solid look of boredom and annoyance ( I understand that work can be slow and whatnot, but what did I do to bother you so
  much, lady???) It was as if I, the customer, was an inconvenience for wanting food. Flustered and nervous, I decided to order from the buffet so that I could quickly get some food and leave as soon as I could.
  
  Now, I'm a pretty big fan of Chicken Tikka Masala,  so I was pretty pumped to see it being served. However, upon further inspection, I noticed that there were some ...,contaminates. Sitting neatly atop the masala sauce were some VERY noticeable, long, dark hairs. I decided to tell the woman at the cash register so that no one would have the displeasure of eating contaminated food. Reluctantly, the woman decided to investigate. Instead of removing the dish altogether, she simply grabbed the ladle within the dish, scooped the hairs out into a small bowel, and sat THE SAME ladle back inside. Wow. I could not have been more disgusted. She really decided that it was STILL suitable to serve. I'm angry to say that I still bought the food. I didn't want to cause a scene and inconvenience this lady even more by leaving my box of food. I'm never going back.

  Used to love the food here but the quality has declined this past year. I did like the chicken tikka masala, rice and naan and paapdi chaat. Simply did not like the tandoori dishes, especially the mixed grill. Other items on the menu are just ok.

  Place is in a very convenient location. Food is largely north indian cuisine.
  
  Instead of buffet, prefer ordering individual dishes from the menu. Buffet quality is not consistent. One thing that I did not like is they sometimes add too much salt or oil in the food.
  
  I never order deserts, so no opinion. Indian appetizers are mostly deep fried, so i do not order them either.

  Proabably one of the worst Indian places I've been to over the last few years. This is not authentic Indian food.
  
  The kebabs, at least that's what they call them, are nothing but tasteless pieces of meat that are overpowered with red food colouring. The curries are simply watered down and above all, there are huge raw pieces of onions and green peppers in them.
  
  I would rather eat a bowl of cereal than have this as a meal again. Definitely not coming here again.
