New Ambala in Luton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ordered gulab jamun. Where rock solid from inside. Will never order from them again.

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.

Really good service best sweet in Luton I had big order uncle look after me would recommend 10/10.

Tried halwa puri from them really tasted bad

very bad experience embarrassed infront of guest because of them they gave me old food was smelling when i warm that …

Great food, great service. Nice stop over whilst shopping.

It was amazing lovely nice environment kind staff nice and warm on a rainy day made bee feel much more nicer as it was really cold and can have lovely cup of tea

I ordered from to them due to their offers on food, but the quality was terrible. The food seemed cooked many days ago, and the paya looked like it had been frozen for a month. The promotion is misleading. Not recommended.

"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.

The samosas from New Ambala Restaurant were a disappointment. They were undercooked and tasted raw, with a bland filling and soggy, greasy pastry. Overall, they lacked flavor and freshness The pastry was thick and soggy rather than light and crispy.

Good Value breakfast. Filling. Nice Halwa.

Beautiful food. A nice and fresh restaurant and cafe. Serving the most authentic pakistani and cuisine and sweets. Their catering services are unmatchable.

Amazing food and customer service. For all your Pakistani cuisine and confectionery needs. The oldest and Best place in Luton. Well worth the visit

Hidden gem of Luton, closest thing to my mothers cooking. Tasty traditional Pakistani dishes, excellent service from Tayyab and the team

Loved it, it was absolutely amazing, thank you so much. Loved the food. Thank you tayab for the service much appreciated

Friendly staff. Food nice. Samosa chaat is deliciouse 😋😋😋

Very good food and very friendly staff.

This is THE quintessential Indian sweet shop in The UK! Great tastes and flavours!

Really nice & clean place & very good food

Great kebab rolls, friendly manager.

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.

Variety of food and taste is also good.

Always good food and reasonable on price. The shop is well established and service is friendly. There is some seating but can get cramped during busy times. No parking

Always most excellent service quality of food, we have been coming for 2 decades, great staff, welcoming always tend to small preferences, whole family loves their foods, very highly recommended,

Excellent customer service. Amazing Desi Breakfast - Halwa puri, anda paraatha, karak chai... all customised.

lovely food and fantastic customer service. Always leave with smile

Excellent service!!!! I would highly recommend these guys!!! Professional and polite 👌🏼 👌🏼

Absolutely horrid - I ordered Karhi pakora and they gave me chanaa curry which I’m allergic to without informing me and charged the whole amount. Applied for refund in Just Eat for wrong item, they said they can’t provide refund. Overall SCAM. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT

Just ordered a chicken samosa chaat and it’s just delicious!!! JazakAllah:)

The original Luton Ambala has a lot to offer and a great alternative to the well known one down the road.

Absolutely wonderful,great food lovely atmosphere. Great service. The boss always makes sure the customers go away happy. Good prices. Definitely a 5 star restaurant. Keep up the good work lads! 👍

Excellent traditional Pakistani food

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!

Best curry in luton would highly recommend great service and great people

Tayyib the manager treated us with such kindness, he knows Liverpool are best team in the world and Messi is the GOAT

Masha’allah the best Iftar I’ve had this year. allahumma barik food amazing, service was top notch.

Excellent food. High quality service.

Amazing place, such wonderful and professional service. Loved the achari ghosht with their garlic nan. Tayyib - the owner always has a smile on his face. May god bless him and his business. Will definitely pop in again.

Amazing and fairly priced halal food! I'd recommend trying the achari gosht, garlic naan and samosa chaat. They've reduced the prices a lot for Ramadan. You can get a nice biriani for just £3

5/5 recommend anytime, cheap and filling

Excellent service. Excellent food. Will definitely come again

Authentic taste, great for dining in with years of experience.

Very good service and quick response.

Amazing food & fantastic service! We popped into get some lunch and were spoilt for choice. We wanted to try everything as the food is so tasty. The staff are super lovely and take so much pride in their food. It was so good I left with two bags of varied pakora! Highly recommend this place.

Dahi bare were off next day chicken kababs were rubbish no taste at all .they have lots of microwaves in their display .all old food they put in micro for warm up. never go back again Asda sweet is much better from to them

Wow. Exceptional place with phenomenal service. A real gem of luton. Old definitely is gold!

Best asian shop well I rank it second in the listing first I think Nafees is the one

Amazing food & amazing customer service. Go there once and guaranteed you’ll be going there again.

Great service as always. Food, top stuff. Huge selection. Highly recommended.

Customer service always brilliant. Food delicious

I am always a fan of their pakoray , roti/nan and curries. But you need to try out the masala cod fish. It is absolutely delicious. Chips at first weren't that special quite soggy ....but *now* it's a massive improvement ....do try the fish and chips 💥

This place could do with a makeover. Looks run down. Food is average.

Below standard food expensive prices got samosas oily and not any taste look like a week old .

Chai , chicken pilaf , maton curry were so delicious !!!! I’m sorry my upset and argue with my wife in your shop at that time. I recognize that We had to tell more concretely about potion. I never NEVER forget Your kindness and hospitality spirit . You made great memories for my trip. It was so amazing /remarkable eating experience and time Sure I shall return . どうも　ありがとう！Doumo Arigatou !from Japan .

meat curry was totally in black colour and horrible taste.

Chicken pakora was taste less and sauces aswell lots of waters in the sauces and Dahi vada all mixed in sauces blow standard food and prices very high

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.

Ordered Chicken and vegetable pakoras. Chicken was not properly cooked, no flavour. Mint sauce and chilli sauce was not nice. The vegetable pakora vehsan was not fried properly. Very bland in taste

Dining is not the best, could do with some tlc & needs to be more inviting. Cutlery needs updating & the cups seriously need hygiene attention to it, alongside the store itself. Food, was on point. But could be warmer. Pricing is reasonable. Especially with my fav being on offer Samosa chaat ,2 for £7.99!

Sorry to say paya was not like that as we eat last time from them .horrible

Got samosa chaat from to them chana was hard and not any taste of the sauces

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.

I buy veg pakora yesterday from to them and too expensive and all salty .I throw all of them in the bin when I reached home

Had a wonderful visit to New Ambala where we tried their new cod masala fish which was delicious. The fish was fresh, not greasy and the spices were spot on. Very generous portions too! Would also recommend the chicken pakoras 😋

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. Just compare their plain rice portion of £5.00 with A1 Lahori zaiqa’s chicken biryani of £4.00 only. That’s crazy.

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!

Staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming, the samosa chaat i bought was very tasty. I would highly recommend this place.

yum yum tastes good 😊 the guys nice so he gave it free deff go here

Came in for breakfast. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed it. Staff were attentive, and the service was really good. I have been in before for samosas/kebabs, etc; they have also been very good. Only critique would be the seating area - I feel like it could do with a bit of reviving and modernising to move away from the dated look.

I really enjoyed my samosa chaat and jalebi. Very fresh and tasty. I would come again. The service was super friendly!😀 Thank you The only thing I didn't like is the tone of your responses to some of the negative reviews on here. 🤭

Chicken biryani was expensive, chicken was old, and just few chunks were in one portion. Not a single full chicken cube or proper boneless I guess they use leftover chicken chunks. They should improve to justify the pricing in area

Overpriced with below average taste. Do not try briyani, worst ever brayani in Luton. Curries too much oily

I had the aloo palak curry this time and i wssnt that impressed. I didbt many potatoes so it was more just palak. Very bland. I have had meat and chicken curries before which were much better.

Amazing food and customer service, we really enjoyed the food. Their poori halwa and chanay were amazing definitely worth a visit👍 portion size could be improved especially when served in thaali. Tried their falooda loved it 👍👍

Poor taste - I would not recommend, avoid if you can - if you want to eat rubbish at your expense do try by all means Ordered Halwa puri for myself and family 1) Canned chickpeas with no taste, seems prepared in rush 2) Puri was oil filled, appreciate it is prepared in oil but each bite feels like oil filled bread. 3) now comes the worst - many days old Halwa as raisins were soggy whitish Service was poor which was cheery on top.

I enjoyed the Halim and thank you to the a kind gentleman I believe his owner’s youngers son.

Cooked food prices are are very high. Not worth the portion you pay

Good place for some desi food! I usually go for halwa puri.

Payed £8 for chicken byriani which basically was not worth its money it was a disgrace to even call it chicken byriani as only 3 litte bits chicken was all rice i would not recommend buying this as it is terrible value for money should half been much less price they took

One of best samosas, Ive at in Luton. And the best customer servers I’ve ever seen in Luton (even after 9 years living in this town) not going longing to lie. I love how you get your food, in a plate, and delivered to your seat, with no above cost.

Raw and oily bhature with tasteless canned chickpeas. Absolutely horrible. Avoid at all cost.

Authentic Desi Chatkhara Place for Chatpata Stuff and Sweets.

عزيزي فريق Ambala الجديد. أتمنى أن تكون بخير اليوم. أنت , لا. حسنًا. كل ما يمكنني أن أفهمه للجميع هو أن هذا البراسيري يحمل علامة تجارية ، نوعًا من الفخامة ، لا يقدر بثمن ولذيذ ، بالإضافة إلى أنه قريب من وسط المدينة وهو من الأطعمة الحلال ، ما يقرب من العربية ، والتي أعطيها الأولوية على أي حال ، إذا كنت ترغب ، على الرغم من ذلك ليست اللغة العربية المناسبة كما هو الحال في دبي ، إلى آخره ، مثلها على أي حال. يمين. الآن. لقد ذهبت جسديًا وذهبت إلى غرفة الوجبات الجاهزة والشاي هذه عدة مرات وأنا الآن قادم للخلف على أي حال وفي كل مكان. نعم. مع أطيب التحيات ، دكتور باتريك نيوزيل دكتوراه. تناول أسبوعًا مليئًا بالحيوية طوال الوقت.

Excellent bunch of staff. I met the owner on the a true gentleman. I had the habshi Halwa it was super delicious. Make an appoint to test this delicacy. Thanks guys I will be back.

v poor service. i order 5 veg samosas . i told to them please warm it. they put in microwave i think only for 5 seconds. when we start eat thats fully cold. its not good sorry

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.

I tried their breakfast halwa puri. It was great. Chana and puri was too tasty but halwa needs to be improve. A friendly guy…. They have desi food like vegetables, curry etc. Chai is also available. Clean environment Recommended.

I ordered haleem they gave a dish full of water, dal and very little mutton. Charged 9 pounds for it, just ignore this restaurant..

Always friendly service, food is good and at a very decent price.

Food was terrible. It was cold and very greasy. I visited this place a few years ago service and food was brilliant but second time terrible service and food. Never again

Friendly staff. I am from India and they are from Pakistan and we share same culture.

Cudowna obsluga, znakomite jedzenie

Excellent quality food, specially chicken pakoras

First time ordered Food and was amazing also everything was fresh.. I will definitely order again and owner gave a free box of methai

Fancied eating a little earlier tonight so chose this place. Food turned up via Deliveroo fairly quickly. We only ordered Chicken Tikka Masalas with rice but the food was lovely and spicey. The only negative I would give is it that the chicken was on the bone (some people will like this I suppose). If the chicken wasn’t on the bone I would definitely choose New Ambala again.

Desi sweet are good .food looks yummy no taste

I have to change my review to 1 star after last Night Was really odd, we ordered from just eat, at 6.15pm the driver then called me at 7.15 saying the restaurant is running late.At 7.30pm we called the restaurant the guy said the food was taken 30minutes ago. We never got our food , we are really confused as this has never happened before when we have ordered. Just want others to know incase this has happened to them. We were really shocked.We are now not ordering from New ambala or Just Eat ever again, Because we don't know what happened to the food and we dont know who to blame,its such a shame because we order every week from New Ambala the food is actually delicious. The food gave us food poisoning

Okish for its prices and quality, baught some sweets and halwa puri both were ok or bit bellow average

Good food prices are good taste good just need to upgrade the furniture and cosmetics.
