"A Bay Area institution for decades with several locations around the region, Amber offers a selection of flavor-rich dishes from across India. Classic and familiar dishes from the a la carte menu include Ambers’ signature butter chicken, Peshawari chicken tikka, green pepper lamb curry, and pindi choley, which reside comfortably alongside less common options like olive chicken seekh, wild mushroom biryani, and rum daar boti. The restaurant’s dessert selection satisfies the sweet tooth; enjoy the moong daal halwa while dining in, and pack decadent mithai treats for later. There is truly something for everyone. A variety of dining options are available." - Nandita Godbole

"Aurum isn’t intended to be a standard Indian takeout spot. It’s a new kind of restaurant for Los Altos, which only has one other higher-end Indian spot, a location of Amber India that Tyagi says is actually closer to Los Gatos." - Eve Batey

Very spacious restaurant, amd wonderfully welcoming too! The buffet spread was great for vegetarians too, with a lot of tasty options. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, and so different from what we are used to eating. The Goan fish curry was cooked to perfection. The paneer corn was comforting and satisfying. The service was genuinely attentive from start to finish. Plenty of room to enjoy your meal without feeling crowded. The outdoor space is a whole mood with brightly colored chairs. The only miss was the gulab jamuns, they were a bit rubbery for my taste. But with everything else shining so bright, that’s easy to forgive. I’d definitely be back!

The ambiance is welcoming with outdoor seating arranged neatly. We savored numerous dishes, finding them all delightful. While the prices are slightly higher compared to other Indian eateries I've visited, the location warrants it. Improving the authenticity of their bathrooms could enhance the overall experience; during our visit, we noticed a lack of soap shortly after the restaurant opened. Despite this, I recommend it for those seeking a spacious, well-seated dining experience with friends or colleagues, willing to overlook the pricing for atmosphere.

A large restaurant. Plenty of dining place in the first floor and large event space in the second floor. Food was great, especially tandoori chicken. Mutton was pretty good as well. And I like their raita. Service was really good. We asked which dishes contained nuts and they ran back to the kitchen and quickly returned with the answers for us.

My first time here! I had gobi Manchurian so yummy, samosas was a bit small but there’s 4-5 in a serving, then we had chole(garbanzo) a bit different very thick sauce I thought it was okay and of course roti which was delicious Service was outstanding and the place it self it’s big they were having a wedding up stairs, the downstairs is super cute with outdoor seating area. As for price is more than I expected we had 2 appetizers and shared the chole and it was $60 including tip.

We stumbled across Amber India while in town for my nephew’s Stanford graduation, and wow—what a find! My mom, sister, and I had such a great dinner here. The food was chef’s kiss amazing—do yourself a favor and get the goat cheese naan. SO. GOOD. Like, we’re still talking about it. Service was top notch—shout out to Salvador, who was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect. The vibe was nice overall, though it got a little loud thanks to a few big groups around us (probably not the norm, just some celebratory energy in the air). Still, it didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed it. If you're in the area and craving delicious Indian food, Amber India is absolutely worth the stop!

This is for Amber india Milpitas location All the food items prepared by Head chef Shiv were on point and mouth watering, good portion size, decent ambiance( can use work, if they want this location to thrive for dine-in), and absolutely a great value value for the buck! For reference I Have had palak chat at Ettan, and I liked Amber's palak chat way better than Ettan ( portion size, flavors and the $$ ). The tandoori chicken was sizzling and delish! I went there for butter chicken and it came out to be as I wished for. The server Venkatesh was very pleasant and took great care of our party. Definitely coming back for the yummy food. Thank you!

Came here for a graduation event with family. Had a welcome drink, 3-4 apps, 4 entrees, daal, rice, and 2 desserts. All the food was very delicious and super flavorful. I usually find that there’s only a couple of items that are good and the rest are meh but I was surprised to find all of them were actually really good. Service was great.
