There is also a great selection of sweet snacks and although it's popular, if you go at the right time there's no queues. It's open all days of the week and the owners are also able to handle orders, so if you wanted to order batches you could. I couldn't reccomend this place more.

This Indian sweet shop sells most of your Indian sweets but the pricing is very high and food is…read morenot always fresh. You can see this yourself when you see the food. However, some of their food is very nice but this depends on what you like and your tastes and flavours that you like. The interior of this shop is very inviting and the pink and blue board means you won't miss it when looking for it. It is located on the corner of a side road in Green Street. They mostly sell Bangladeshi sweets and mithai. A place to go if you want a change of flavour and would like to taste Indian sweets.

In my endless quest to be cooler than all you people I shunned the food stalls of Sunday UpMarket…read morewith their mobs of people wearing ironic large sunglasses, I turned my nose up at the hog roasts at Shoreditch cliches 93ft East and the Truman Brewery, and I certainly wasn't going to join the More4-loving set lunching away at shiny chain restaurants in what used to be wonderful Spitalfields. No, I decided I'd abandon the Time-Out guided Sunday masses and wonder the wrong way down Brick Lane in search of authentic options. And because of that my lunch for £2.40 consisted of two of the best spinach samosas I've ever had and two hearty but dry fish cakes. It was window placement of these savoury cakes, samosas and pakoras that magnetised me into Ambala. The rest of the shop was largely devoid of the Bangla sweets they profess, but do I look like I'm bothered? It was lunch time, I wanted something salty, satisfying and solid value and I found it in spades. Next time you do the sunday brick lane thing, give Ambala a look. Don't just be another sheep having free range tofu sausage crepes with the other Nathan Barleys.

When I find out who came up with the idea I shall demand that they are promoted and given some sort of employee of the decade award. Ambala sell a vast range of Indian/Pakistani savoury snacks and sweets. Both their lamb and vegetarian samosas are fantastic, their pakora is great and so is more or less everything else they sell. If you work near this part of London you absolutely have to go in here and buy enough of their delicacies to fill a wheelbarrow, push it straight back to your office and bask in the warm adulation of your co-workers as they scarf hot eastern yumminess. Unfortunately they aren't open early otherwise I would pick up breakfast here.

I purchased the pistachio barfi topped with Dubai chocolate. If you've never tried barfi it is similar to fudge with a slightly different texture. I enjoyed the pistachio barfi. But as for the Dubai chocolate, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about is it tasted like regular chocolate. If you're looking for a wide variety of Indian confections I recommend stopping by and trying a few samples. I'm certain you will find something that you like!

However, the home for Royal is Southall where the factory is based. This particular shop has good service with a fantastic mouth watering display of Indian sweets. Favourites like Rasmalai and ladoos are definitely their speciality in my opinion. I would recommend this as the place to grab yourself dessert!

They really do great Indian sweets and are a well-known brand name all over UK. But Jalebis (…read moresyrupy, fried doughy little sweets) for £9 a kilo is a bit farcical. This is purely a take-away.

An Indian friend said we had to try Ambala's samosas. He wasn't wrong. The fist-sized pastry packages are stuffed with superspiced potato, mustard seeds and onion. Zap in the microwave for 40 seconds, tear off a corner to let the steam escape, drool as you wait for your samosa to cool to eating temperature.... Fabulous.
