Ambrosia Indian Bistro

565 Abrego St., Monterey

641-0610, www.ambrosiaib.com

This locally loved restaurant consistently delivers the spicy and aromatic flavors of Indian food to the eager bellies of customers seven days a week. Anticipate an array of mouthwatering curries, but also an entire section dedicated to their tandoori oven. Six different types of naan, the rack of lamb, their Ambrosia special kebab, and their chili garlic basa suggests that whoever is manning the tandoori station has the superhuman ability to manipulate a raging hot fire.
