Reviews for Ambrosia India Bistro - Scotts Valley in Scotts Valley, CA

We stopped by this place because of its reviews. We ordered a lot of food ... One person form our group vomited and others had... strong stomach ache. Service was underwhelming. All most items waiter suggested were lobster, rack of lamb and other mostexpensive items on the menu. Samosas were the most tasteless samosas I've ever had in my life. Tandoori chicken was extremelydry and burned. Mint sauce that comes with a vegan samosas had a regular yogurt in it instead of cashew or any other veganyogurt! Basically everything we order was an insult to Indian culinary tradition. Read more

Very delicious & welcoming! I went last night with my partner and we chose the veggie platter (appetizer) & selected the... Ambrosia non-vegetarian feast, we both left with very happy stomachs :) Highly recommend checking this spot out!! Read more

Pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant on our way back from Santa Cruz. We stopped by for some snacks and weren't that... impressed. The samosa was our top pick even though it was a tad bit on the oily side. Both our sizzlers were bad, the paneerwas too chewy and the chilly prawn lacked marination. The chicken Manchuria tasted good but was salty. Read more

Pathetic food and very rude staff. We ordered bread, malai kofta, paneer tikka sizzler and kadai paneer. 1. I was not able to... differentiate between the sizzler and kadai paneer. 2. Nothing was hot - when I complained about it, staff just apologized andnothing else lol 3. Paneer was so hard that it took some time to cut and chew it. In short, I'll never recommend this place.

Food was served cold. Paneer platter was not edible. Paneer was burnt and was not soft at all. Nan was not fresh.

Came here on a Wednesday night for my mother’s birthday dinner. Definitely pricey ($140 bill for 3), and ask to speak to a... manager if you have any food restrictions, but good food. Loved the lamb trio and the okra fish. The samosa avocado Chaat waslike a deconstructed samosa with lots of fresh avocado and a yogurt sauce. Tasty. Service, wise kind of disappointing for suchan expensive place. They didn’t offer anything special for a birthday dinner and unfortunately we had a misunderstanding withour order. My husband hates cilantro and we asked for cilantro on the side (also said he was allergic). But every item of ourfood came covered or included with cilantro, even after we tried another 2 times to clarify after our starter arrived sprinklerwith it. So a tip if you have food restrictions to be super clear , maybe try “no whatever at all ” or I’d recommend toask to maybe speak to a manager when you’re ordering? Read more

Great food and good service. We ordered the vegetable pakoda as a starter which were delicious (and the accompanying sauces were... very good too and their Taj Mahal beer is not bad either). For the main course we ordered the trio chicken kebab, malai kofta,the vegan vegetable vindaloo (pretty spicy), a garlic and basil naan, and a side of safran rice and white basmati rice.Everything was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend eating here :) Read more

We loved the ambience at this restaurant , food was decent but felt little expensive . Service was also good, this is located... on the top of the hill and best place to fill your tummy before heading back home from Santa Cruz Read more
