I always rely on Ambrosia Bistro in Monterey to provide me with good food. My work colleagues and I eat there five or six times each, and have had every meal be fantastic. The waitstaff are attentively accommodating and the food is always fresh and full of flavor. I almost always order the Goat Karahi with garlic naan. The goat is tender, the spices are evenly balanced and the rich curry is outstanding with the warm garlic naan. I frequently return to Ambrosia Bistro and order the goat karahi because it tastes so good! If you are searching for an authentic Indian restaurant in Monterey that prepares delicious food, then you should try Ambrosia Bistro. The restaurant's consistency and taste means I will continue to return.

Found this hidden gem in Monterey. Service is excellent.great class decorated ambiance. Night time que to enter. Food is tasty and accommodates vegan/vegetarian preference. They offer a lovely all-you-can-eat lunch buffet at a very reasonable price I'm morning. And the ambience is better than many high-end places. Definitely a must try when you're in town! Little pricy but worth to visit.

Christmas Eve dinner at Ambrosía India Bistro in Monterey, the service, food, guests and ambiance made for a fabulous meal. It was like having a meal with friends and family. If you are in Monterey I would strongly suggest you pay them a visit.

Fantastic Service and Super Nice Owner The owner BJ and his staff are super nice and provided excellent service on my visit to this restaurant as I was stuck nearby due to a flat tire. The chicken Shahi Kurma and Garlic naans were fantastic. The kurma had just the right amount of spice and the naan was made to perfection. When another item wasn't to our liking, BJ replaced without any issues and even offered a free drink for us. Never met a more friendly and accommodating Indian restaurant owner. Will definitely stop by the next time I am in the area, primarily for BJ's hospitality.

Cant get better than this. Great food, awesome atmosphere, fabulous people. Each and every people around us seemed enjoying their meal. Don’t forget their cocktails with indian twists. It was nice surprise for us to get such a cocktails like a Tamarindo Margarita with spicy shell fish.
