When doing AJAX calls, the X-Requested-With header is often set to XMLHttpRequest. Laravel's Request::ajax() method is built on top of a Symfony2 method that simply checks for the presence of this header.

In October 2012, Angular.js removed this header because they felt that it was rarely used.

As @Thrustmaster and yourself mentioned in the comments, you need to set:

$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common["X-Requested-With"] = "XMLHttpRequest"
