Info Source

Ambrosia in Aptos has maintained the quality of the food & taste. Post covid dine-in observations…papad and chutneys used to be on the house now they are charging hefty, all menu items hiked up. Mushroom masala was very well prepared, Malai Kofta needed to spice up a bit instead of tasting almost like a desert, Baigan bharta was pretty bad. Onion Kulcha and Garlic Naans were great so was the Paneer chili appetizer even though it tasted like a fusion dish. Overall, they can cut down tomato based gavy in most of the dishes. Staff is too direct telling customers to leave as it passed closing time ….Overall still a great place in this neighborhood! Will continue to be their regular customer as long as they maintain.

Very generous portions and tasty food. There is a small outdoor sitting area. It is a small restaurant, tables are small and sitting are is tight.

The food is good, liked the vibe. Loved the Amritsari Paneer sizzler, authentic Indian breads, Gravy-not so much.

Been here before and it was fine, this time the food was extremely dry and bland , like it had been sitting out for hours prior. Couldn’t even eat it. Also very expensive especially for the quality. Can get Indian food in San Jose that’s 100x better for almost half the price.

Good Indian food… (for USA!)

Della Martin

It is a charming eatery that provides eat-in or take-out. It is a buffet, and you can go back for seconds if you so desire. The food is wonderful, and there are so many choices. I will return often

Worst place for vegetarian people. Paneer tikka was sweet, raw paneer and it tasted like eating raw paneer with ketchup.
