We popped in for some sweets since we were in the neighborhood. I selected a box of sweets which was mixed up with another customer's; luckily, he returned, and we were able to correct the error. I also ordered some ras malai (a sweet cheese dessert), which was some of the best I've ever had. I, unfortunately, do not speak any of the languages spoken on the Indian sub-continent; many of the staff here also did not speak English. I felt honored that they made an effort to communicate with me and fulfill my order. Very casual ambiance but tables and utensils are available if you choose to eat in. Free parking in the lot.

This place was a recommendation and craving from one of the friends. He has been itching to have Indian food and it had to be at Ambala Sweets & Snacks! Here we had Dani puri, pani puri, kaju kathali, samosa chat, and a few mango lassis. Everything was DELICIOUS. However, beware as the samosa chat can be spicier than expected. The mango lassi had just the right kind of sweetness! Dropping by for a quick snack definitely got us wanting more than what we intended to get. Definitely worth a visit!

PANI POORI
Trisha S.

Very delicious quality of Indian sweets and snacks. We ordered some pani puri to eat inside then took some sweets to-go. The pani puri was excellent, the pani had so much flavor. They had a variety of sweets, all made fresh. It's a small space and you order at the counter with the kind uncles.

Wanted to try pani puri and I found this spot. Really worker taught me how to eat it. I usually don't like sweet chutney but this one was great not overly sweet. The prices are quite reasonable, also grabbed a half pound of assorted desserts. Not too busy of a store, you'll find parking easily or street parking. Overall great experience I'll come back if I'm craving snacky Indian food.

Donuts
Laurie B.

We wandered into this bustling shop for a sweet treat after lunch. One of the staffers happily provided sample tastes of various items including a diamond-shaped cashew confection, and little orange puffed lentil balls. Both were delicious without being overly sweet. My friend ordered the popular doughnut in a sweet honey sauce. Paired with hot chai tea, it was the perfect ending to a great day in old town Artesia. Highly recommended.

Love the desserts!
RoseEllen S.

Once upon a time, another Yelp-worthy find! What a wonderful place to enjoy sumptuous desserts. We ordered the yogurt ice cream and two lovely cakes. Not a crumb was left! Highly recommend a stop here. The end.

Aloo tikki chat
Christina P.

Great good as always. Tried aloo tikki and pani puri, will definitely get them again.

Two boxes in photo, because after shopping around the city, I went back and bought more. Regret not buying even more.

From the service to the quality of the sweets, everything at Ambala is amazing. I wish I had purchased more. I will be returning soon for more milk cake, more ladoo, more everything.

Been coming here since I was a kid myself and omg they food flavor and everything remains deliciously amazing. The customer service is always on point and they really give you the flavor of back home. This place has so many of my childhood memories and now my kid loves this place. This place is thumbs up forever and ever. The owner is super sweet and caring about his customers. Lovvvvvveeeeeeee everything about their food and the hospitality they offer.

The owner, Mr Singh, is a kind and friendly gentleman.

I started eating here in the 80s, when a friend from South India took me there. I've been going back regularly ever since. I almost always order the same thing, which is the #2 Combo. It includes perhaps the best Chana Masala I've ever had, a truly remarkable Samosa, a densely delicious semi-savory cake in yogurt, a mix of pickle (lately, they've been adding lemon pickle, which is divine!) and raw onion, a choice of flat breads (we got the Poori), and a pillowy cake floating in a pool of sweet milk. The combo also comes with the classic red/green sauce (tamarind and cilantro[?]), which makes everything taste better. I almost always get a chai tea. The menu is vast, which can feel daunting until you realize that half of it describes the various confections, and savory snacks, on offer in the case. Most are sold by the pound. Be courageous, and try something. If you've never had golob jamun, for example, prepare to have your mind blown. I'm particularly fond of the Chilli Pakora, which is a whole breaded deep fried chili stuffed with seasoned potato. I'm also fond of their spiced cashews. Their mango lassi is very popular, and I'd get it if I weren't so lactose intolerant. This place is super casual. You can order at one of two kiosks, or at the counter. The owner, Mr. Singh, is often there in his elegant red turban, always happy to answer questions. All of the staff is friendly, and everything comes out quickly, brought out on cafeteria trays, and served on paper plates with plastic cutlery. Bussing is self-serve but, if you need anything, just ask. They recently upgraded the tables and chairs, which are quite nice, and even added a few outside for alfresco dining. (We used to bring our dog, and he'd sit outside with us.) Inside, they've gone out of their way to make the place look festive, with brightly colored garlands, and other beautiful decorations. Ambala Sweets & Snacks has reasonable prices, excellent food, great service, and a super casual vibe. Definitely worth a visit!

I tried Indian food for the first time this past Friday thanks to my brother & sister in law. I…read moredon't know why I haven't tried it before but oh my -- it was sooo good! I loved it. Everything they ordered was delicious. I sort of third wheel myself to their dinner plans so they ordered before I arrived. I'm honestly not a fan of curry but they ordered 3 types of curry and I loved all of them! & the Naan -- OMGGGG. They ordered the garlic naan and 10/10. Sooo good. The inside is clean and well decorated. Lighting is dimmed which I love! The waiters were attentive but also gave us space -- does that make sense? They were quick & welcoming. Overall great experience. I'll be bringing my husband next time. Spacious parking, there's also parking in the back of the building & street parking.

Update as of August 16th, 2026…read more We haven't been there in a few months, so we decided to take my mom. We were welcomed by new staff there. Let me tell you, the staff before was fine, but this staff now is excellent. We had the opportunity to meet Aditya, who was our server, and he was incredible, along with this young lady, who is probably one of the sweetest waitresses we've met. They had a few other people working that were very friendly, and going to the restaurant is even more enjoyable. Food is always going to be good there, and they are very consistent. India Restaurant is our go to restaurant in Artesia Service is fast Food is very tasty Chicken Tikka is my favorite out of all Indian restaurants I have been to Keema samosas very good Bindi, Naan, Tandoori chicken is all good We have never had a bad meal in the last 20 years we have been going Don't do the buffet

LOCATION/General Info: -Located in Cypress in a small shopping center with a couple of other businesses, & there is always ample, accessible parking -A few small tables inside & outside to dine in if you'd like, but it seems most people order take out -Super clean, upon entering you can see back into the kitchen area & everything always looks pristine! -Friendly, warm, welcoming -Family-owned & operated- you can tell the attention & passion that goes into this place & the food -Occasional events in the parking lot on Friday evenings -Closed on Mondays FOOD: -They offer both meat & vegetarian options -Rotating menu (different options every day, so check the website first, or pop in & try something new! The owner offers free samples so you can try a couple bites before committing to a meal!) -My husband only gets the butter chicken & it's always amazing! Besides the butter chicken, I've also had chicken korma, & other vegetarian dishes including those with saag & chickpeas & they've all been fantastic! -I like really spicy food & some of the dishes are not as spicy as I'd prefer, but everything is so tasty & flavorful! And I completely understand that these dishes are made on a rotating menu & to be as accessible to as many people as possible. So if you're new to Indian food or can't handle super spicy food, there are options for you!

Also conveniently packaged, always sweet & delicious! Come check out this hidden gem!!

The Thalis used to be a lot more varied in terms of menu. This time around the moong dal and tindora sabzi were mid at best. I still enjoyed the chaas and the shrikhand, which I got as dessert. The chilli bhajiya and dhokla weren't special either. The khichdi however was extremely tasty. They didn't offer any ghee with any of the food either. Service was good and quick, and the staff are warm and welcoming as always, and willing to provide any explanations of the menu. The ambience has not changed in many years and though their bathrooms are old they were pretty neat and hygienic. I don't know if I will be coming back here as often as I used to because the food has reduced from being something special to just being okay.

This was one of the few dishes that did not contain dairy. Relative to the roti it was served with, the portion could have been bigger by filling the bowl more. The flavors were good with the smokiness of the eggplant and the warmth of the spices. - bajra roti (2/10): this was not very pleasant to eat. It was much thicker than i was expecting which made it hard to tear into small pieces and chew. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, though there are other nearby places that I have enjoyed more.
