Baltimore’s 38 Essential Restaurants

"You might think you’re walking into someone’s apartment building (well, you are), but continue until you find the stately Ambassador Dining Room, which has been serving Indian fare for more than 25 years. The Singh family (owners of stellar spots Peerce’s and Ananda outside the city) sold the business to former employee Gopal Bishwakarma at the end of 2019, but what remains the same is the Ambassador’s beautiful patio, affordable lunch buffet, and weekend brunch options like braised lamb in shahi korma or chicken madras, a South Indian-style curry dish." - Jess Mayhugh, Eater Staff
