New Ambala

“Right, so I walked past this place and their Nihari offer caught my eye . Nihari and 2 naans for £9. I thought in this cold weather that's a steal and worth trying. Usually the most tired looking places have the most authentic tastes. From my experience not every restaurant offers Nihari (like people do with Biryani which you find everywhere and it's so bad). So if they're advertising Nihari surely it couldn't be that bad. We step in, and the place is relatively quiet, really tired looking and it did make me question my choice. But even with the deco being incredibly dated, the table and seat was clean and I was still trying to keep an open mind and remember never judge a book by its cover. Immediately, the staff are all super approachable/welcoming and not the typical attitude to servicing customers like you expect from any other Asian place where it feels like you're an inconvenience and want to ask them for the bare minimum. The guys took my order with no issue, no need to repeat 3/4 times, just super helpful, super smooth ordering. With that, we later discovered the owner was also sat nearby and gave polite recommendations and exchange pleasantries. Anyways, the food came, piping hot, and much to our surprise the food SLAPPEEDDD!!!! It was so good. It was served in authentic crockery that you'd find at your grandmother's home. It felt like you were in her house and I actually unwind and relaxed. We learnt this shop had been here 45 years! That's saying something. The food was so good we even stayed for proper Pakistani chai and dessert. The shop has an abundance of sweets from mitahi to freshly baked biscuits where the owner gave us a couple to try for free. They made the chai fresh in a pot just for us. The whole experience was so enjoyable, all the guys are really nice and also great value for money. The food was delicious fresh snd nostalgic. I'll definitely be back. My only recommendation is to slowly fix the decor bro. But I'll be BACK!”

“Delicious sweets and food. Curries were amazing and just enough spice and perfect flavour. Service was welcoming and efficient. And the atmosphere was great.”

“I recently tried the tasty chole at new Ambala in bury park Luton and I must say, they were perfectly boiled and simply melted in my mouth. The achari flavor added a nice kick to the dish and made it even more delicious. However, the bhature were a bit too oily for my liking. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend trying the tasty chole despite the oily bhature.”

“Authentic original taste - Everything taste good. will recommend to all.”

“We have been going to New Ambala for way over 25 years and it’s always been consistently good. The quality of their sweets is outstanding.
