About

Golden Ambal serves South and North Indian dishes, with a dosa menu described by one reviewer as having around 100 varieties and vegan choices among the mains. It’s a casual, no-frills curry house with generous portions, friendly service and reasonably priced food; the downstairs dining room has been reported as cold, and one diner experienced a very long wait for a dosa.
