First experience with Hyderabadi Dum briyani was freaking awesome. Tired of eating office briyani, wanted to try out a spicy and authentic Hyderabadi style. I assure that you wouldn't be disappointed for choosing this resto.

Coming to the food and quality :
We have ordered Nawabi family pack briyani which costs Rs 600 /- If you are a ardent foodie, 4 members can share it. Else if you are a poor eaters, 5 can share it.

Ambience:
Quite much disappointed with it. Room was so dark, could have improved with lighting and seatings.

Overall :
Worth a shot, despite of the poor ambience. Who would consider it when we have some spicy vera level briyani infornt of you.

1 🌟 is taken because of ambience.
5 🌟 for food quality and quantity ❤️

This place is near VIT chennai and is the main center of attraction for students. We studied at VIT vellore and we were missing the taste of the food so we decided to go there. Food was superb. Best biryani in town is served here. We ordered bonless chicken biryani and one mutton biryani. We also ordered garlic naan, butter roti, mix veg and Ambrocia's special chicken. Mix veg was fine and rest of all was so nice. We were 4 people and bill was only 870. Quantity was so good. Cheap and best place to go out for students.

Authentic Andhra Food. Great Taste.
Ambiance, not so much. There is some wait time in the noon as the students from VIT crowd up the place.

The Biriyani is a must try. But go in only if you can handle the heat. It is way too spicy and not for the faint hearted. The portions are quite good too. However, the dine in portion of Biriyani is less than the delivered one. I'd say even 1:2.

Great place for any one who wants a Hot Telugu Cuisine.

Definitely not a good place for dine in. Tried chicken biriyani , which was super good and authentic in Hyderabadi biriyani style. The spice level is bit high. A single biriyani will definitely serve two persons. Dragon chicken is a must try dish here. Beware of spice level.

The place is located near VIT in mambakkam. It is mostly filled with vit crowd only. This place has been there for a very long time. But when ever I go here, I always end up having chicken biriyani over here. They give chicken dum biriyani over here. It costs 150 rupees per plate. The biriyani is pretty good over here. The only thing is the biriyani is a bit spicy. This place is a typical Andhra based place so it is kind of spicy food that you get here.

Want to have amazing biriyani with a huge gang of friends?
Then this is the place you need to go.
Prepared in the authentic hyderabadi style, it turns on your taste buds.
The extreme spice adds excellent flavor to the biriyani making it an excellent dum biriyani.
The chicken pieces are excellently cooked and have great masala taste in them.
I would suggest those going in big numbers to order the special biriyani and it serves 5 persons.
I am already going here every single week and will be doing so in the future too.

As a canteen , it's probably the best in the neighborhood! As a restaurant, it's pretty good.

The FOOD was simplistic but delicious. The biryani tastes like your typical hyderabadi biryani, but with an element of homeliness. For that price, the quantity and quality is better than expected.

The SERVICE was alright. Nothing worth mentioning. Since the Salana and Raitha utensils were kept on my table, I did most of the serving myself.

The AMBIENCE can be slightly misleading. The place looks a little... (How do I put this politely) ... under-decorated, despite that, it's clean enough on the inside.

VIT students probably love the place, I know I would (If I went to VIT...)

This place has really nice food. The people are friendly here and its affordable and filling. Good ambience and a good food place for the college students.
Chicken biryani worth 150rs was really good. Loved the taste.

If you want to have best biryani on Vandalur-kelambakkam road Ambrocias is the perfect place❤️.. Ambience is not good but the food is amazing.. This place serves veg and non-veg food... its pocket friendly😋...they make really spice food 🔥🔥 so if you are not comfortable with spicy food ask them to make less spicy😂..
vegetarians can try paneer pasanda and naan.. for chicken lovers .. boneless chicken biryani...navab birayani and many more..
But Space is less and waiting time is high.. so plan accordingly..

First Visit: Too spicy 🌶 that we had to call another friend of ours to finish the food.

Second Visit : We made sure we got the least spicy Biriyani available, and it dint disappoint us.

You better be careful when you order and always insist on Less Spicy dishes, because everything here is too spicy BY DEFAULT

Best medium of escape from the monotonous food of the mess was Ambrosia's Chicken Biryani. Affordable price and taste according to the customer never let us down. Ambrosia provides a variety of food items but I think the most famous of them all is their Biryani

Had lunch here today. Ordered a Chicken Biryani Hundi for 270 Rs. The Biryani had an authentic spiciness that you'd associate with Hyderabadi Biryani. Would rate the Biryani 4/5.

The downside if the restaurants in the area is that you can't approximate the amount of time needed before you can get the table. That's a huge letdown coupled with waiting in the open, under the sun at noon. The AC though switched on, doesn't cool the room as expected which might make it stuffy with the high inflow of crowd.

I lived in Chennai for a couple of years and my work place was close to Amrocias. One of the colleagues said that this place serves awesome Biryani and one day we decided to go.

First impression of the place wasn't good because it was a cramped up place and filled with students from the nearby engineering college. We had to wait for sometime to get a table. One good thing is that the place is air conditioned and in that weather and the spicy food that they serve, it's badly needed.

We ordered the Amrocias Nawab special family biryani. This is 500 bucks and it serves 4 people. This chicken biryani has 4 biryani piece, 3 full eggs, 4 chicken 65 pieces and loads of biryani rice. The biryani is Andhra style and is ultra spicy. They give free unlimited buttermilk to help beat the spicy effect of the biryani but the buttermilk itself is a little spicy. So beware, it is definitely not for the people who don't like spicy food. You can also get a refill of just the biryani rice when you order the nawab special biryani and it's just 100 bucks.
We also ordered the chilli chicken but it wasn't great. So from the next time we went there, we stuck to the biryani and we were not disappointed. On the whole this is a brilliant biryani joint and is light on the pocket.

Whenever I think of Biriyani I think about Ambrocias. Its the same story for almost every student of VIT Chennai. The amount and taste they deliver at a very reasonable price is just unparalleled. Their home delivery service is equally efficient. 
Presently they bill around INR 140 for Chicken Biriyani. Except biriyani and a very few chicken items their other items are not upto the mark. Whenever you think of Hydrabadi biriyani try Ambrocia for once...

This was the hip and happening place in Keelakottaiyur about a year or so ago when it had opened up, as it was one of very few options available for the VIT University students and us folks working at Shasun and Lifecell.

However, over a period of time, the restaurant has seen its fall from grace. Better-looking outlets like Chennai Vilas and more recently, Rajputra have come up, leaving Ambrocias way behind in terms of ambience and decor.

However, their Biriyani is still pretty good and its always a good idea IMO to order either the Chicken Biriyani Hundi or the Ambrocias' Special Platter if you're going in a group. Apart from the biriyani, only the Chicken Pepper and the Chilly Chicken are worth mentioning. Everything else is just way too mediocre.

Hoping that they reinstate their glory days soon.

Relatively decent restaurant in the neighborhood... In biriyani they added Too much spices... Their gravies were good... We tried egg curry and ambrocias special chicken gravy... Aloo Gobi curry was mild and good... I think children may love it..... Restaurants are very limited in this road. So, this is good option to have food.. Comparatively their price is little expensive....

All good 👍 I feel that I was a new customer to the restaurant there was no sign or any person to say where restaurant seating is at upstate, we actually went to the ground floor then came upstairs. Otherwise food is good 👍 service is ok 😀 Atmosphere is little more improvement 😁

• Ambrocias restaurant located near Pudhupakkam chennai. • This hotel is located near Vandalore towards VIT college. • Ground floor they prepare foods via lift to first floor. • First floor we have dinning tables. • We have chairs for nearly 60 members at a time. • We tried dishes like Ambrocias special briyani which has quite a lot of Cinnamon taste. • Butter naan which is super soft must try dish. • Chicken gravy has a good quantity of chicken. • Dragon chicken also having good quantity with small small pieces. • Parking facilities available for two wheelers • For four wheelers we need to park in front of the restaurant. • CCTV camera available. • Payment mode accepted both UPI and cash • Restrooms facilities available. • Foods are served as hot as they prepare by using the lift facilities inside the restaurant. • We have soft drinks like Panner Goli soda, Lemon Goli soda, sprit, 7up, Pepsi. • If we ask for hot water they have a kettle near the bill counter and they serve us. • Entrance of the restaurant we have I love briyani sticker on the wall and the right side we have one mirror.

Biryani 5/5 Butter and plain nan 3.5/5 (30,35rs) I order delivery, which I not suggest because you loose the crispness and essence of naan Tandoori roti. 3/5 Chicken fried rice.- 4/5 but quality is less Kadai chicken - 3.5/5. Max 4-5 midium size chicken pieces you can expect and gravy is good enough Chicken butter masala - 3.5/5 tasty but chicken pieces size and count will be same as paneer butter masala , chicken pieces cut into very small pieces as paneer Boneless chicken Biryani - 4.8/5 quantity and quality is superb as compared to normal biryani here you will get more chicken pieces small size

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ambrocias in Kelambakam, Chennai, and I must say it was a delightful experience, earning it a solid 4-star rating. Service: The service at Ambroics was generally attentive and courteous. The staff was prompt in taking orders and serving food, making sure we had a pleasant dining experience. However, there were a few moments when it felt a bit slow during peak hours. Food: Ambrocias prides itself on offering a diverse range of multi-cuisine dishes, and they certainly delivered on variety. I had the opportunity to sample dishes from various cuisines, including Indian, Chinese, and Continental. Some highlights included the flavorful Indian curries and the well-executed Chinese stir-fries. The menu could benefit from a few more vegetarian and vegan options, though. Price: The prices at Ambrocias were reasonable given the quality and quantity of food served. It caters to various budgets, making it accessible to a wide range of dinners.
