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.

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.

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.

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

the garden setting is just beautiful esp before sunset. waiter is very good about checking on you. my dinner of chicken with two sides, soda and cardamom ice cream came to $42. they give you a lot of meat and it is well marinated and not dry. the base spice level is mild but if ask for spicy the accompanying sauce will add heat. very nice meal overall. felt socially distanced as well. getting in is a little complicated because you have to be buzzed in using the side entrance.

Here’s the deal: this is a very charming restaurant with a classic vibe to it. The servers are all impeccably dressed and are very attentive. The patio view is also quite nice.

We were traveling and touring The Johns Hopkins University and had eaten here in 2005. Enjoyed it then and even more this time! The service was great and the food was so fine. Chicken Tikka masala and the curried shrimp. We started with the naan garlic bread with the eggplant appetizer. So delicious! Be aware that the restaurant is on the first floor of the Ambassador apt building!!!Just go!

What a magical dining experience. The two fireplaces, beautiful string lights, giant bows and Christmas trees inspired a jolly ambiance. We started out with a couple of mango lassis and were immediately impressed. The matar paneer, chicken korma and dal makhani were rich, flavorful, spicy but the Kashmiri naan was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back.
