What Mike German doesn't like about Ambassador Restaurant Bar:
Go here for an Ethiopian hookah lounge with an unsuspecting door front with okay food. Felt like I couldn't breathe after a few minutes and got takeout. Go to Habesha a few doors down for much better food quality+ quantity and air quality. View all feedback. What Natalie R likes about Ambassador Restaurant Bar:
I visit this place often; it feels like my second home. The food and hospitality are outstanding! I bring everyone who visits me here, and I highly recommend it! View all feedback.
