Ambiyan on Yonge

What is Ambiyan on Yonge? Tucked into the ground-floor courtyard at 1560 Yonge Street just north of St. Clair, Ambiyan on Yonge brings the polished Indian dining of its long-running Unionville flagship to midtown Toronto. The interior leans contemporary and relaxed with warm lighting, leather banquettes, and a dedicated cocktail bar, complemented by a secluded covered patio during the summer.

Ambiyan on Yonge Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out an extensive menu of regional North and South Indian staples using halal meats alongside dedicated vegan and vegetarian sections. Start with the Gobi Pataka—crisp-fried cauliflower florets coated in a spicy, sticky glaze—before digging into rich, slow-simmered classics like Lamb Rogan Josh or the velvety Butter Chicken. Seafood lovers should lean toward the fragrant Coconut Prawn Curry, best mopped up with fresh tandoor-baked garlic naan and paired with a house cocktail.
