Ambrosia India Bistro - Monterey

"I would rate this a 4 since my family liked the food but I thought it was mid. My family and I are all vegetarian so that's all I can talk about. But once the Shahi Paneer came, it redeemed the mid food from before. It was awesome and one of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend the Shahi Paneer so much. Best thing they have."

"Prolonged wait for order to be served. Even with specific instructions about spice level, food was very spicy. Observed lots of red chili flakes. In mixed veg korma very few veggies were seen. Quantity is not worth of price. Ambience is great. Could be visited once."

"The flavors, the atmosphere, the connection to life within each bite can be hard to explain. A simple example of delicious food that connects with your soul and what it means to be human. The fire cooked flavor that lingers throughout each dish reminds me of my connection to nature and brings forward emotions and a link to my primal instincts. I have thoroughly enjoyed multiple meals and dishes here, some take out and some in restaurant. In both scenarios, I have the same experience with the food. I do highly recommend eating in, or finding a seat at their lush beautiful patio to feel the total impact of atmospheric warmth while you enjoy your dish. Enjoy with your family, a romantic date, or solo for a thought provoking experience. Everyone experiences things differently, but with a positive mindset, I find it can bring you back to earth in a world where many float through life starting at soul sucking their phones. Beyond all that, the service and staff are excellent and professional."

"This place deserves a higher rating. Came in on a Monday night after driving highway one all day. I was impressed by their vegan and vegetarian menu, TONS of options. The vegan tofu Tikka was delicious. It was not what I expected but was absolutely delicious. You have to order rice separate but it was delicious. The garlic naan was covered in seasoning and was very tasty. The restaurant is very cute with tons of decorations. If I lived near here, I would come all the time. I highly recommend this place."

"Been here for dinner on a weekend. Not much crowd and decent parking available in the front of the restaurant. Never seen this good ambience in US Indian based restaurant and this one is exceptional. Tandoori chicken and Paratha tasted good"
