Ambala Deli Bar in Glasgow City

My second visit here was even better than the first! A hidden gem but so worth searching out! I had the samosa chaat followed by the most exquisite Kulfi! My husband had the Afghani pilau and pink Kashmiri tea. If you want a true taste of Pakistan come here! You won't be disappointed!

Ambala serve the best Shahi Haleem I have EVER tasted - either in the UK or anywhere else. The Dhansak is simply devine, and their signature milkshakes round off a delicious meal for very reasonable prices.

I thoroughly recommend this little deli/diner in the south side, and am very confident you'll soon be spreading the word to all your friends too..

Food was brilliant ordered a mix kebab was v nice and portions are huge compared 2 other restaurants prices are very reasonable for the size and quality of food you get

Excellent me and my husband went for the first time and service was very friendly, polite and quick I’ll grade this Restaurant 7 starts and Recommend it Highly..

Excellent place to eat. Tasty and yummy food...... neat and clean restaurant.Different varieties of food.

came here to celebrate passing my College course Food was cooked perfectly and surpassed my expectations very good kebabs and milkshakes were just oustandings Would recommend to people in the area...

Food was really tasty and staff was really helpful, customers service is 10/10.

This restaurant is amazing in South side of Glasgow food is super testey and service was very very good highly recommended.....

I went to ambala deli bar and I tried the peri peri chicken .I was delighted with the service and how I was treated .I chose the Peri Peri Chicken and it met all my expectations.Would recommend to all .

I’m still dreaming about my meal at lamb chops! Each bite was a delight, and the presentation just blew us away. Don’t miss out on trying their signature dish lamb Shanks Nihari

It’s a proper Indian and Pakistani style restaurant home cooking best I ever tried, hope they keep it up same

Went out to eat with a few friends from work after a busy day, staff were very accommodating and helpful good food very fresh and tasty...

Whole family enjoyed very very much Food was amazingly deliouse only problem service was wee bit slow....

We went Ambala restaurant many times every time we've got excellent service and food only one suggestion please make it more cosy thanks...

amazing grill place... tried different places but their grill is outstanding... prices are reasonable ... I will rate them +5 for food...

Visited with a friend and had Mixed Pakora (veg & chicken) followed by Handi Gosht (lamb dish) and a Chapati. I am familiar with Pakistani Desi Style food and regularly eat in some of the best Pakistani establishments in South side. This meal ranks as one of the best lamb dishes I have ever had and the depth of flavour in the Handi dish was fabulous. If you are looking for the real deal give this place a try. Pakora was freshly cooked and was also excellent. Staff also very friendly and accommodating. Will be back again soon. Highly recommended.

My favorite place to eat out each time we been there with family every time super delicious amazing food we had Highly recommend..

I think one of the cleanest Restaurant I ever seen we had our meals but desserts were amazingly delicious specially cheese cake and FALOODA

Thank you for a wonderful evening and celebrating my big day with me, Guests loved the food and the service was exceptional.

10 out of 10 for Price & Quality for Falooda. Had tried other things but Falooda would be one to try here.

One of those hidden gems in Glasgow. Food is always top notch as it the service and price. Try the seekh kebabs, you will NOT be disappointed.

Amazing place to come to for family or with friends , friendly environment and unbelievable food. The staff are always friendly are we're always at my service , wide range of food and drinks even for kids . There is also lots of parking which is extremely helpful . %100 recommended

Big disappointment poor service poor management

Disappointed, food had no taste, no salt , no spice, even after mentioning, no fresh plates , for second meal , water wasn't on table ,staff was tired honestly I can name 5 more things but the point behind this please try to solve these issues ,

Amazing Food, Amazing Service. Would definitely to recommend to anyone thinking about visiting, Very Generous size portions and incredible flavours

We been ambala today food was lovely.Mix grill and lahori chaska chicken was mouth watring .Definitely go again

3time I oderd my dinner on this place. Vry vry tasty. Second delivery on the time food vry hot .I am vry happy with this place

The seating is a bit weird Food was nice Chicken karahi way too expensive full of salt

The best Asian restaurants in Glasgow. Their food was amazing. From goll gappas to Ras malai everything was so tastay and yum. The food that gives your taste buds a feel of pakistan. The karahi and the stakes were brilliant too. Hoping to visit again and again.

Fantastic, fresh and delicious with some truly unique dishes.

10/10 food and service, food is always delicious and fresh, full of flavour,💯

The food was great and the service was very good..

Very Tasty as always 😋 Highly recommended

amazing and tasty food and tried Kashmiri tea which was delicious and the falooda was yummy

Authentic Pakistani food in a canteen / cafe setting. Everything cooked fresh to order and absolutely superb. Homemade deserts also a treat. Highly recommend if you like real Desi cooking

The food was great and the service was very good...

Unhappy too late guests are gone and rider placeca wrong order

Fresh and delicious. Tried first time and was pleased with the quality and service. Will definitely return

The food was fantastic but I forgot how big the starters were.

recommendedMost delicious food I ever tried very highly...

Tried several dishes during last visit, the food quality is below average. Ordered lamb mince and it had hard chewy tendon minced together with the meat and it was full of fat as well. At least it reminded me of Pakistan :-D The half chicken karahi had three pieces of chicken neck :-D That too reminded me of Pakistan. It's kind of Authentic Pakistani restaurant like the ones near bus stands or train stations in Pakistan.

Ordered food over two hours ago. Has not been delivered but has just been marked as delivered. Total waste of time and money.

Excellent service , fresh tasty food !! We Would definitely go there again for the yummy food .

After reading some negative reviews, I was hesitant to try ambala today. Then I decided to go for it and me and my family absolutely loved it. Wife got a masala fish which she loved. I got a mix kebab. All types off kebas were fresh and full of flavour. Then we got rasmalai which was the best we have ever tasted. The girl serving us was great. She was friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to others.

Authentic Desi Pakistani food, well worth the visit. The food is super tasty, staff are amazing, portion size are fantastic. Well worth the price and the visit, you are missing out if you walk past this restaurant. Lamb Karhai on bone and Faluda highly recommended.

Really awesome food. Would love to come back again and again.

The only authentic Pakistani restaurant we could find , Freshly cooked Chicken Karahi was just amazingly nice and Biryani was nice too . Must try Falooda as a dessert. We were really pleased to find this restaurant and wish we had found this on the first day we arrived in Glasgow.

Me and family always go this hidden gem always enjoy Great thing about this place is they’ve got everything you name it m.. I yeah highly recommended..

Brilliant food,, fab staff, very well presented xx

We waited 10 minutes never got greeted or served ! Completely been ignored… we were 6 ppl , had to go to different restaurant !

I really like the ambiance there. If you want to try Asian desserts especially falooda, it's the best place in Glasgow.

i’ve been to many similar restaurants, but ambala truly stands out. the attention to detail and commitment to guest service set it apart from the rest

Went today at 12:40 for lunch, it was closed, lady sed open at 1clock (online says 12.30pm) so went in at 1 got seated and lady said chef is not here won’t be here till later 2 clock. Disappointed!

Over an hour late, the foods came absolutely freezing, Absolutely disgusted.

I order kebab platter 3x and fish pakora, I ate 2 pieces of fish while been there, got the rest packed up, came home was going to have it for dinner, heated it up and it was CHICKEN pakora instead of FISH pakora! It’s disgusting how they can swap the food while taken away for packing, it’s just very disappointing what u pay for never receive! It had happened few times before too with my family! I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

Excellent staff and customer service, so welcoming and accomodating. We ordered halwa channa puri, fries, paratha and chai, everything was freshly prepared, tasted amazing (channa was very close to lahori channay) and served pipping hot. We enjoyed the left overs the next day too. Our daughter is a very fussy eater and surprisingly she enjoyed each and every item. The staff kept coming to check if we were happy with the food and needed anything else. Great ambience and homely vibes. Definitely going back! Keep it up!

Always good experience and nice food. Highly recommend.

amazing experience eating here with my family got recommended and was blown away. i got mixed grill platter, everything was fresh and juicy and presentation matched. finished off dinner with a falooda (it’s a must try!) will be back soon

Well decorated sitting area. Food delicious I ordered chicken biryani but was too hot for me. I had to get extra yoghurt in order to be able to eat. Even with that I couldn’t eat the full portion. Staff provided good service.

Best food very tasty dishes. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend for pakistani dishes. Now also been revamped. Looks nice.

Would give 10 stars if possible, everything was great, especially the service

I visited Ambala on Friday. The customer service 10/10. Food was amazing and the best curry l have had anywhere. I never usually leave a review but after visiting Ambala l am definitely going again and will be recommending my family and friends also.

The restaurant and staff are very friendly and was a good experience for me and my family coming for the very first time to Glasgow it reminded me of the home-cooked style food that I was used to back home with a Scottish twist would recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow for the first time

We a family off 3 attended this restaurant with high expectations we where disappointed the staff where walking around looking exhausted and tired the service was poor we waited 20 minutes for our drinks they then never gave any ketchup with my sons food our main course was tasty but the overall staff experience spoiled it two asian woman and one man who did not speak any english what use was this i went too the bathroom too wash my hands it was like a swamp water all.over the floor used tissues everywhere how hard is it too have it cleaned health hazard waiting too happen there we will not be visiting this place again sorry!

Overall the experience was good, food is slightly over priced for Glasgow area however the quality and taste was amazing. I will definitely recommend to others to try out.

Just went and the food was amazing from the starters to the mains to the dessert, the best Pakistani food I’ve had in the uk, I hope more branches will be opened up around the country particularly in places like Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham

Not even worth 1 star, we visited as a family all the from London for first time, when we was asked to place our order almost half of that we was denied, the guy excuse is we can't make this ... We very busy.... We can't make that we are very busy .... We can't make this it will take too long!! In the end we got fed up after trying to alternate our food order only to be told each time "this and that can't be done". In the family we had a 5year old and 7 year old children with us . After all this we decided to leave and said that's fine . Absolutely horrendous service. Avoid if ya don't want to waste your time. Was very disappointed with the experience for our first time.

Order arrived on time. Somasa salad was just a samosa in a tub with some onions, literally just onions. No salad at all. Rest of the meal was fine.

Overprice and also not good quality or taste. Ordered Nihari and didn’t like it. 1 Can cost 2.50£, Nan cost 3£ each? Why so expensive?

Walked to the restaurant at 22:20 to get some take away food. They said they are closed. The closing time is 23:00 on their Google page.

Loved the food, the atmosphere and the service. 😊

Ordered the PAYA; something I last had in Lahore sometime ~15 years ago. Delicious indeed. However, can improved slightly on the serving time and slightly lowered down the volume of the music. It took a while for the food to be served.

Ambala restaurant is the place that makes us visit Glasgow every now and then from our city which takes us around 2.5 to 3hrs drive. There food,atmosphere and now they have changed the whole setup as well which makes it more inviting and pleasant ,so visit it now more often. Whatever other dish we eat we always order there suji halwa which is just out of the world because they use homemade Desi ghee which has an incredible taste which u can’t get anywhere from any other restaurant or even in ur own home.its a must try. We even love to eat qeema Karahi as well. Prices are very reasonable and staff is very friendly.

Very delicious food. I love to sit in and eat. What a taste.

I have been going to Ambala for a long time now,but to be honest this time they have refurbished it and the food recipes are absolutely amazing and tasty I mean the quality has gone up big time and my favourites are their Desi karahi and also the chicken seekh kebabs with naan and salad i literally have it every second week or so… highly recommend it, girl staff is really nice too they always welcome me so nicely keep it up girls 👌🏻🫶🏼🙂

Never been disapointed with there food, been several times and has never failed me, infact im on my way again for another meal

Food was okay, I would say it was anything special. As a frequent curry enjoyer and veteran of trying new places this sits right in the middle of food. It was non offensive and perfectly adequate but nothing great or recommendation worthy. The chips were great though, roasting hot and well salted. We had a mixed grill aswell which was cooked well. Overall I was unimpressed with the flavours and would say Cafe India in the west end was better and a nicer place to be aswell. The portions were big with good cuts of meat being used. Tasted of good quality but again nothing outstanding. The surrounding area isn't great and not somewhere I'd like to have a post dinner walk like Kabbabish on Victoria road.

Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The Mixed Grill was especially memorable. Must try

Very good food, delicious. We had the karahi, kebab and peri peri chicken. Suman was amazing, went out of the way to accommodate our requirements. Would definitely visit if ever came to Glasgow again.

Suman was amazing and always carry a smile while serving Amazing food with traditional lahori taste for Karahi

We've been getting takeaway from Ambala for years, and it has always been delicious. We recently decided to dine in as they have refurbished the place and it's beautiful. Lovely staff and service, great atmosphere for a weeknight, and as always amazing food.

Today I visit ambala with my family wow wow wow food was delicious 😋 Lahori chaska lamb karahi was top notch.Super mix grill was mouth watering . Service was fantastic and atmosphere was amazing .definitely visit again soon

Amazing food, authentic taste. 10/10

Excellent Lamb biryani, fresh and aromatic Thank you Ambala

Absolutely disappointed by this place. Chicken charsi karhai was 4 / 10 chicken was uncooked told the staff they did nothing. Ordered brain fry n chicken seekh kebab honestly I've had better ones so not going there again unfortunately!

Amazing food and great service and great staff I definitely come back

The food at AMBALA is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the [Lahori Chaska Karahi] and [grilled masala fish)

So, after we finished hiking up Ben Nevis, we decided to treat ourselves to a meal before heading back home. And let me tell you, we found this amazing place with the best food you can find in these parts. The curries, especially the lamb and chicken, were absolutely delicious! The only downside was the parking situation. The restaurant doesn't have its own dedicated parking area, so we had a bit of trouble finding a spot.

It was a great experience, I loved the ambience and food but the green tea was like hot water with no flavour in it otherwise I liked their naan, chapli kebab, peri peri chicken wings, chips and gol gappas.

Not recommended for a family with average income. I recently visited Ambala and was disappointed to find that the menu lacked detailed descriptions of the dishes. Specifically, the 'Mixed Grill' option was vague, leaving us unsure of what to expect. Furthermore, I was surprised by the high prices, which seemed inconsistent with my prior understanding of their pricing strategy. It's possible that their prices have increased since their renovation, which may be a factor to consider for future patrons. The taste was also not satisfactory.

Ambala after renovation is serving to another level of food and service. I must say new staff is extremely nice specially all the girls.their grill was literally one of the best grill i have ever had,seekh kebab reminded me of pakistani bbq,karrahi was freshly made and portion was soooo good.I must let you know their peri peri pizza is must have and authentic falooda not to b missed.❤️

Good place for desi currys. The Butt Karahi of Glasgow.

Save your money go elsewhere, rubbish

Very friendly staff her service very good we will be come back soon InshaAllah

Outstanding delicious food Friendly staff. I will strongly recommend to visit Ambala restaurant Glasgow Scotland

I came in with my friend and the girl at the front told us to sit anywhere, when we did another girl asked us where we were going and I told her we got told to sit anywhere, then she pointed to a table for us to sit. We looked through the menu which took about 15/20 mins to decide but no one came over to take our order so I had to ask one of the girls who said something from a table further away and made no effort. We waited 10 mins again and then I asked her again and she muttered something then walked away, I then waited again and asked her then she started speaking to me in Urdu which I could barely understand she just assumed I knew Urdu, all I understood from her was a guy was coming over as she doesn’t take orders she wasn’t helpful at all! Does that mean you only have one person to take orders for the whole restaurant?! Even the table next to us weren’t impressed, one of them said the hospitality was 0! This resulted in me and my friend walking out as we felt no staff made an effort and we were definitely put off and don’t think we will be back! I think maybe it would be best if you hired people who could also speak English to interact with customers! If there was an option for 0/5 I would have clicked that!

I had an opportunity to eat at this restaurant with my family! We ordered garlic naans, reshmi kabob, lahori chaska karhai boneless, saag !!! The food arrived on time, the quantity was awesome. This place has lots of flavour and I would highly recommend it to my friends and families !! It’s newly renovated and the interior is beautiful as well! The staff was super friendly.

Best pakistani Desi restaurant in Glasgow..

Ambala restaurant is my favourite as always
