    Nice place. Great staff and food.Excellent place to go in the summer. The terrace overlooks the Hudson. I’ve been here about 4 times and I would definitely go back.

    Sunset over the Hudson was beautiful. Experience at Sambal was extremely disappointing. I had a vegetable dish with tofu. Vegetables were overcooked and food didn’t taste good. A vegetarian at my table ordered a dish with vegetables only and they brought the vegetables with chicken, even though the chicken was not listed on the menu as an ingredient. This wasn’t the first time the food wasn’t enjoyable but it’s the last time I’ll dine at Sambal.

    Overall very good, but some dishes are much better than others. Staff are nice and service is usually great, but this time servers came to our table 3 times interrupting us with orders for other tables. Ambiance is lovely, especially outside.

    We’ve been to Sambal about six times and always gave a five star rating and review but today was a not a good experience. At 2pm we were one of four tables on the patio so not too busy. First let me say that the service was fine & friendly. We ordered some favorites. The Roti with Curry dipping sauce, sauce was sadly watery and lukewarm. Then ordered the Manchurian Cauliflower, usually fantastic and normally hot (temperature wise) and crispy, it sadly was not hot and was soggy. We also wanted to try a new dish (for us) which was the national dish of Malaysia, Nasi Lemak, a dish with Fried Anchovies as the protein ingredient but was brought a different dish of chicken but we don’t eat chicken and was told the dish we ordered from the menu was a misprint! We then ordered the vegetarian mock duck which we’ve ordered many times in the past but this time the flavorful sauce was not there at all. I’m sorry to give this review but we were very disappointed this time.

    Usually a wonderful spot w a great view. The view though was the highlight. Our server was good but he seemed to lack help. There were a lot of employees walking around the tables but no one but him asked us how we were doing or if we needed anything. We were given the wrong appetizer (I think was supposed to go to another table bc we had literally just placed our order) after about 10 min we flagged him down to tell him it wasn’t ours. He was great but def didn’t have support from the other staff milling about.

    Great food and setting. We were outside and got to see the sunset. Starters were delicious and red curry was fresh and spice was well balanced spicy. Servers had great sense of humor and was helpful with making choices.
