Order received perfectly packaged

Order received perfectly packaged. Ordered for my Dads 80th birthday. Brought back some wonderful memories for both him and my sister and myself, a great trip down memory lane. Ambala was a real treat for all the family, made us feel like kids again.

Order never arrived

Order never arrived. It was delivered to an incorrect address with no details of which address. Reported this to Ambala and received an email saying it was delivered! Yes it was delivered - but not to my address!

Large order


Large order placed to celebrate the arrival of my new niece - they were gifted to family and friends. Lovely box design, and sweets were handled with care. Minor delivery damage to a few boxes, but this was swiftly resolved by head office, who sent replacement boxes, and a goodwill box of treats. Brilliant service all round. Thank you!

Consistently delicious and excellent quality.

Ambala never fails in its quality and standard of sweet meats and savouries. We bought from another company, as the goods looked nice. Were bitterly disappointed by most of the products. So, I placed an order with Ambala to restore our faith in our favourite treats. We were delighted as usual.
