The Ambassador serves great food, and it’s well worth coming to even if you are not staying here. There are two main eating places, plus a bar and room service where you can also get food. All except room service are open to non-guests at lunch time and in the evening. The first restaurant is Larry’s, a Chinese eatery. We’d had Indian food non-stop pretty much during our time in India, and a break was welcome. Many places that offer Chinese or "Continental" (European, after a fashion) food in India do it badly, and you’d be better off with the local menu – but this restaurant is the exception that proves the rule. My mother and I both lunched on stir-fried vegetables there, a mouth-watering selection of tiny sweetcorn cobs, baby carrots, green beans of two kinds, okra, and aubergine. Lightly cooked, the vegetables were al dente and served in a subtle and good black bean sauce. The menu has a good choice of Chinese foods from different regions and specialities, including some interesting looking chicken dishes. (We were vegetarian in India to try and escape any nasty food poisoning.)
The service was prompt and efficient, and the bill for the two of us came to about 400 Rs. In the evenings, this restaurant gets pretty busy and it’s apparently a good idea to book a table, or to go and sit in the bar for 20 minutes until a table is free.
