The chicken was terrible, and the cleanliness was awful. It felt like no care was taken at all. I wouldn't recommend this place and wish I could give 0 stars. Very disappointed.

I have only been here twice. Once on Eid and once yesterday. Both times for 2kg Chicken Pakora. First time they were mild. Second time very spicy. They were made fresh for me and ready for collection. Because first time they were mild, I didn't know they could be made spicy. They still tasted nice though. Just some polite request- if someone orders chicken pakora, ask them if they want mild or spicy. Thank you. Workers are very polite. Will definitely try other items.

"Unfortunately, the chicken pakora was not fresh and seemed to have been heated in the microwave multiple times.beause was dry and very hard. I noticed there were three microwaves on the shelf to heat the food, suggesting it wasn't freshly cooked. This seriously affected the taste and quality. I won't be going there again.

The curry was unacceptable. The chicken pieces were raw, posing a serious health risk. The dish also lacked flavor, with a bland and uninspiring taste. Overall, it was a highly disappointing experience.

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.

Chicken biryani wasn’t a biryani, it was just rice with some chicken pieces chucked on top. The food wasn’t fresh and cheap cutlets of chicken were used. The hygiene is questionable and the service was inadequate. Shop should take some advice and make some improvements rather than being trigger happy with their responses!

Ddnt wanna leave a review but the guy at the counter left such a petty face that im going to. So I Ordered 6 samosas and asked for enough sauces. Worker gives me 4 sauces. I politely asked for two more and he reluctantly gives me two, mumbling on that they don't give that many sauces. So let's do the maths. If I ordered one samosa, I'd get one sauce at least, 6 samosas would mean 6 sauces at least. But the worker makes a dumb face over giving less sauces. Pure pettiness, that's all I can say. So, thanks for responding (Mr Owner) but now I have to make it super clear as to why I left a review as you don’t realise the point which makes your apology to the situation pointless. 1. Reviews are not always about the product itself, there is such thing as CUSTOMER SERVICE. Product is good, that’s why I still come to you :) 2. My kids each want to have their own sauces with their samosas, however you, the owner expects two people to share one small pot of sauce between two then that maybe your world, but my world is the CUSTOMER’S WORLD and customer’s world is what you should be focusing on. 3. if your employee doesn’t want to give the extra sauces, he could have politely declined, but he makes a weird face and goes on about ‘no one gives that many sauces’. This is the root cause of me having to leave a review which is about this particular treatment and as a customer I found it disappointing as I am a regular customer. Don’t worry about turning this wrong into a right, as the owner you are good with your customer service skills but doesn’t necessarily mean your workers do. That’s where you can turn the wrong into a right, not just for me, but for everyone insha Allah. I might have been harsh in my review but its the only way businesses can improve where they need to. No hard feelings and all the best.

This is not original 'Ambala' sweet shop, what we see in Wembley. The shopkeeper was not a friendly person. None of the sweets were fresh. Kaju katli was hard as a stone. Rasgullas we're hard to bite. Other burfi were so old. Only gulabjamuns were ok to eat. Total disappointment. I bought fish pakodas. That was good. I had to refry them in air fryer as they were kept in the shop in open tray and not in any hot boxes. I also heard shop staff murmuring to dispute whether the biriyani was ok or not ok in their native language. I ll never visit again. A honest red flag from me. As always the owner will post some weird response. Good luck guys.

100000% not recommended. Most expensive food prices in Luton with below average food quality. Tasteless food and the salesmen are very rude and nasty and have no sense of customer service.

Honestly the Best samosa chaat I have ever eaten, and I've tried samosa chaat from Ilford Lane and green street. I wandered in here as I was visiting Bury Park for the first time. The manager was very charismatic and friendly and could tell I was new. And pls try the Pakistani truck tea. It is toooo good. We have lots of tea places in East London but this reminds me of visits to Pakistan and tea from tea stalls on GT Road. Also tried the chicken pakoras which were so tasty and nice to have a differnet taste than the normal pakora batter taste. Bliss!

Ordered Gol Guppa along with normal pakora and fish pakora. I had a bit of the fish pakora and threw straight into bin they were freezing cold and tasted off, My wife then went onto try the fish pakora thinking I was being mellow dramatic but the same happened to her, She then returned to the store where to owner gave a full refund after weighing the items. They insisted my wife didn't like the food and there was noting wrong with their food. The pakora was freezing cold and had obviously been sat on the counter top for some time. As me and my wife had tried 1 fish pakora each and even though we threw you gave a full refund I have since given a small contribution in charity on behalf of the shop for the Pakora we tried each even though they were not to par. I wish you all the best for the future but we will never be returning to your store.
