★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s been a long time that I wanted to be at the Ambassador hotel for a food review, and as they say when you wish with all ur heart the universe conspires to make it happen. Special mention of our bearer Nilesh for his service, Ashley our captain for his suggestions and warm hospitality, and last but not the least Chef Jagannath for taking his time to interact with us about our queries about the delicious food he made for us, even sharing the recipes. We had some fantastic Chinese grills which includes Pot Roasted star Anise grilled lamb,Barbeque Xinjiang lamb skewers, Oriental orange ginger grilled salmon (must try), grilled hot garlic chilly prawns which was scrumptious.For Drinks we had spicy drunkard ,orange salted margarita. For dessert we had Malai kulfi. All in all good value for time, money and energy. I most definitely vouch for this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Virgin Mojito - It's a regular mojito. Fresh and refreshing.
Blue Heaven - Looked really very pretty and photogenic. Regular in taste. Nothing extra ordinary.
Sarso Da Saag Platter - If you are visiting the outlet in this season then you should definitely try this platter. Authentic flavours of Punjab with jeera aloo, sarso da saag, make di roti, black daal. The platter was full of flavours. Amazingly made, must try!?
Sphagetti Fernandes is one of the signature dishes served at the society- the ambassador hotel. It is named after one of their chef who was associated with this heritage place for almost 45 years. There are a few signature dishes he used to make and are still served, all accompanied by the name Fernandes. The sauce is made of cream, onions, garlic, Ketchup, cinnamon and butter. Cinnamon is the ingredient that gives the dish an extra punch. It is also flambed with Brandy, this gives aromatic flavours to the dish. One of the best Sphagetti we have had.❤️
Barel potato with corn and sun dried tomato cheese - Boiled potato with skins, filled with cheese from the inside out with the flavours or corn and sun dried tomatoes is what makes this dish cheesy and tasty. It’s not just cheese and you are able to tell the difference between the ingredients, also served with a topping of black olive. Flavourful taste all over.?
We decided to call for the house special, Crepe Suzette. Delicious crepes tossed and glazed with brandy and orange sauce. Little lemon and sugar to make that beautiful zesty orange sauce. Vanilla ice cream served together. We always prefer desserts which are made at live stations, this was perfection. Orange sauce with marmalades, and some crepe and ice cream together, a spoonful for heaven.
Cream of Asparagus Soup is a beautiful, thick soup that is rich enough to be a light meal or a satisfying appetizer. Made by butter, onion and garlic, the soup is smooth and creamy with pieces or asparagus put in for garnishing. It is delicious.? Would like to see more options in the dessert section.
Ambience - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Food - ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Service - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finding the goodness of comfort food in a heritage hotel like The Ambassador is heavenly.
What better than continental food?
Get Dim sums to Thai curry to stir fried veggies to even continental desserts!
The dim sums were prepared artistically and were super light!
Paneer Schezwan was a good starter and suits well for Indian taste palate
Stir fried vegetables had everything right from Bell peppers to zucchini to shitake mushrooms!
The Thai churry was absolutely delicious so much so that I could finish the entire bowl myslef! The balance of falvour was spot on and made a good combination with steamed rice!
As a palate cleanser, they served green tea which was really clever as it cuts the aftertaste of previous food and prepares you for your next dish. It has good digestive properties as well!
The best dish was date fried pancake served with vanilla ice cream. The method of folding that date filling in a pancake need high skills and I was sold for it. The vanilla icecream just added an extra oomph to the entire dish
Do not miss this one.
The ambience is royal and the hospitality, nothing less than that of the royals!
And even if you are hitting the Mid day blues, you get served with Maritini! A good glass of maritini during the day can solve anything, right?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is my 1st dining in 4 Star hotel & i was very excited about it. Everyone who is been staying in Mumbai for long time knows this place. It was a birthday treat so I was more excited because i was not the one who's gonna pay the bill.
After visiting this place i understood why this type of places have high price. The reason is service, quality & authentic taste. You can see the efforts & talent the chef puts to make each & every dish. I have been in more than 200+ hotels but the hospitality which i got here was of next level. Very much professional, polite & they were treating every customer as the vip customer. Ambience was the most cleanest & peaceful among all. It was so gorgeous, the music was not loud, lights were perfect.
I ordered many dish because they where having gold. I had manchow soup which was dicey as it won't taste like i love but it was way better than my expectations probably the best manchow soup i ever had. Wonton chicken was average but Paneer in garlic sauce was excellent. Chicken hunan & chicken chin chin is what we ordered in mains & it was undoubtedly the best. drinks was also nice specially kiwi Margherita was best. I don't eat salad because who the hell eats salad in hotels but this place changed my mind chicken Ceasar salad was so amazing that it became my favorite dish of the day.
Overall it's a beautiful place but when you compare this place with other 4star hotels it's not that expensive. Service & quality was the best among all which i visited. Must try leeche ice-cream here.
