I visited Ristorante Indiano Ambasciata today based on the many positive reviews and because Google Maps clearly states the restaurant opens at 18:00. I drove a long distance to get there, only to be told upon arrival that the restaurant was not actually open and that they only start serving properly at 19:00.
When I pointed out that the opening time on Google Maps was incorrect, the staff blamed the owner instead of taking responsibility or apologizing.
We were seated and waited over 20 minutes, only to then be told that the only food available was French fries and other frozen fried items. I did not come to an Indian restaurant for frozen food—I came for dinner. We were told that they might be able to ask the boss for approval to prepare something else, which is completely unacceptable for a restaurant.
To make matters worse, we were told that even basic items like roti or chapati would take 30 minutes. At that point, we had no choice but to leave.
This was a complete waste of time and extremely disappointing. If the restaurant is not ready to serve food before 19:00, the opening hours should be updated accurately on Google Maps to avoid misleading customers.
