Ambala Karahi serving real authentic north-Indian cuisine, menu reflects our lineage with starters of tandoori Amritsari Cod Fried fish and our range of Indo Chinese dishes, although the restaurant’s reputation hinges on its exemplary renditions of straightforward Punjabi cooking – especially its big bowls of authentically spiced curry and humongous naan. Chicken pakora followed by Butter chicken and Shahi paneer for vegetarians is a sublime choice.
