"So this review covers the two nights in a row that we visited this restaurant whilst visiting Glasgow. So glad to have done a lucky dip using my Google search This restaurant is unique in terms of decor, bells on table to request service and vast menu of excellent food and staff being a variety of nationaloties.... Orders taken on a tablet device. On both visits, service was impeccable, a little slow on second visit as quite busy but nothing intolerable. Very reasonably priced. Parking a little bit of an issue when restaurant as well as surrounding area of units busy On our first visit we had Gol Gappa/Pani Puri and Meat Samosa Chaat as Starters. Mains we went for Aloo Keema with Chapattis and for Dessert we had the house special Kulfi Falooda. Gol Gappas were fresh, crispy and delicious, as were the accompaniments. Samaosa Chat was delicious together as was the samosa itself too. Keema Aloo was freshly cooked, good balance of spice and flavour and the potatoes just made it come together perfectly eating it with the soft and delicious Chapattis cooked on the Tawa. For dessert we had the huge glass filled with Kulfi and Falooda. Very heavy, lots of it but delicious! Definitely not for one person, 3 of us just managed to finish it! On the second visit we decided to go for Puri as starter served with Halwa and Chana. Mains we just went went for the lamb biryani. Bit of a wait, understandable as busy and such a diverse menu. Wow, Puris were freshly made soft greasy deliciousness! Chana was also very good as was the Halwa that we decided to share as Dessert. The Lamb Biryani was ok along with the raita etc with it, we were a little underwhelmed. In fairness, I think it may be something to do with the place we went to ealrier that evening for Tea and seeing posters of the street food style Nalli Biryani wetting our appetites too much! So in conclusion, very impressed with Ambala Restaurant overall. Keep up the good work, food and general high standard. Will definitely visit again when next in Glasgow as such a vast menu and one of the things I definitely want to try is the house special Lamb Shinwari."
