    Went for Valentines dinner. They had a set menu that felt restricted. Butter chicken was inedible due to sweetness. I had set reservation weeks in advance and was given table in high traffic area in a family section with a lot of kids. It wouldn’t have been an issue but kids mixed in with couples having dinner was just a vibe that didn’t work.

    Excellent food, made with quality ingredients. Located in the heart of historic Unionville. I came across Ambiyan last year and it instantly became one of my go-tos for Indian food.

    We have regularly ordered food or gone to Ambiyan for lunch or dinner and the food has always been very good ! Unfortunately, this time the Beef Vindaloo meat was very tough . As always the service was great and we will return to try the Beef Vindaloo again.

    Took my in laws for a birthday dinner here - Ambiyan has lovely Ambiyance 😄 Service was a complete delight as well~ Spectacular dishes all around - the sauce for the malai kofta was tangy and sweet and the dumplings nice and tender. Butter chicken is full of flavour. Lamb roganjosh very tender. Fried cauliflower/gobi appetizer is light and crisp with a pleasant amount of spice. I’m not always a fan of saag paneer but this one was buttery smooth and delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the chana as always. Naan is perfection, came out very fresh, crispy/chewy and so hot you couldn’t even touch it right away! Finished off our meal with sharing a bite of gulab jamun and mango + pista kulfi. Not a miss in the bunch, have loved this place for years!

    I came here two weeks ago with my wife, my 4 year old and my new born baby. From the moment we stepped in, we felt a wonderful warm energy which was extended by the smiles and accommodation of the staff. As someone who enjoys Indian food a lot, I have to say this is my new favourite Indian restaurant and my favourite Indian food. You could taste the love and care in every bite. We enjoyed it so much that last night I invited my parents there as well and we stayed the whole evening to enjoy the food and energy of this place. 5 stars all around. I will definitely be recommending this place and coming back many times. Many blessings to the staff and management.

    Overall, we liked our lunch at Ambiyan. The food was outstanding, although we felt the service was lacking attention. During our meal the servers decided to sweep the floor which I thought was not appropriate. The main course does not include rice or naan, which needs to be ordered separately. The amount of rice is really enough for one person and not 2, as we were told by our server. So we ended up ordering more because we had butter chicken left and nothing to eat it with. The price is about the same as at other similar restaurants, but with rice and naan that need to be ordered separately, it ends up being more expensive.

    One of favorite places to eat in York Region. Everything is top quality. Arrived before 5 pm and the place already was filling up. Others must be discovering this lovely restaurant!

    The quality of food has dropped down considerably, with all the competition around, the expectation is to at minimum maintain the food quality.
