Ambala went downhill rapidly when it was bought by a different company than the traditional company that had run it for years. On line service was basically non existent and the quality was poor. How... See more

Ambala’s prepacked sweets are…

Ambala’s prepacked sweets are absolutely lovely. The box is beautifully decorated and makes a great impression straight away. Inside, there is a really good mixture of sweets, offering a nice variety of flavours and textures for everyone to enjoy. The delivery was on time and the packaging was very well presented, with everything arriving in perfect condition. Overall, a high-quality product that was gifted to family for Eid.

The recipe is changed

The recipe is changed. Barfi is not as solid and the taste is different. It used to be quality but now I won't bother as it's the same standard as rubbish brands like Royal. Been eating Ambala for over 50 years. Avoid.

Ambala Sweets truly deserves every bit…

Ambala Sweets truly deserves every bit of a 5-star rating! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a stunning display of beautifully crafted mithai. The quality is exceptional, everything tastes fresh, authentic, and perfectly balanced in sweetness.

Their selection is impressive, from classic favourites like laddoos and barfi to more unique and premium treats. Every bite feels indulgent and made with care. The staff are also incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, always happy to recommend something new to try.

I also had my order delivered to my home, and the service was fantastic. Everything arrived on time, perfectly packaged, and in excellent condition, nothing was damaged at all, which really shows the care they put into their delivery process.

Whether you’re picking up a gift or treating yourself, Ambala Sweets never disappoints. Consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and top-notch service, highly recommended!

Great online experience

Really good experience. I sent sweets to my friend in uk, initially my order didn't dekiver due to some issue then company sent a new order as a compensation that is delivered on time and with good packaging as well. Thanks for your service.

Terrible Customer Service for online customers

I order four products as Eid presents. I chose a delivery date of the day before Eid to ensure they came on time. They didn’t arrive on that date, so I had to buy extra presents last minute.

I called the only number available on the day of expected delivery three times the person who answered wasn’t able to help but said I would be called back and no one did. I then called a final time to request a refund and again was told I would get a call back but didn’t.

Terrible customer service for online customers. I appreciate Eid is a busy time but if you can’t cope with the orders don’t take them.
