Amber India Restaurant

Good food, great location. A bit pricey IMO for the food, but I guess you pay for the location and the ambiance. Service is good overall. If you want really good quality Indian food and don't mind a bit of premium for it, check it out. 👍😊

I had heard a lot about Amber Indian Restaurant, so I decided to give it a try. The ambience is very good, and you feel the positivity as soon as you enter. Walk-ins are allowed, but on busy days (especially weekends), they do accept reservations. Please note, you need to look for street or a public garage parking. Personally, I felt it is very pricey. Since I had a late lunch, I decided to go with starters and ordered just two items: Shrimp Ambotik and the Tandoori Sampler, along with Coke, Jeera Soda, and Lemonade. The total came to $100, including tip. The food was well done and the quantity was right. Quality-wise, it was satisfactory—nothing particularly amazing. They do serve liquor, if someone is looking for that option. Overall, the experience was good with attentive service. Food lovers can give it a try, but be prepared for the final bill.

We went for lunch buffet here. Staff is welcoming and ambiance is really good! The spread however was too basic and the options were very limited. For the price we thought overall it could have been better.

Amazing Dal Makhni (stewed for 32 hours) with garlic naan, chilli thyme naan. Loved the Kadhai Paneer and Saffron rice as well.. Mango Mojito is also worth trying!

Ok so the food was good. It’s Indian so you can never say it’s traditional because someone will disagree and argue. Atmosphere here was ok it felt like a modern 80’s restaurant. Nothing wrong with that just making the observation. Let’s take a moment and talk about the staff. Freaking spot on amazing. They were all over us and we didn’t even notice. They make the experience here as good as it is. Not sure if the owners read these reviews but take care of your staff they make Amber what it is. Bottom line go and enjoy this gem in the Bay Area.

Ambience was good. It was spacious. I loved the food there. They have great variety of vegetarian options. In all a beautiful ambience and a good restaurant. It was located in good location

Really enjoyed the food at Amber. Authentic Indian food, with great ambience and wonderful service! Tried the Tandoori Thali, and everything tasted great. Would definitely come back again whenever we are in the area!

Went there on Saturday evening and got a table instantly. It got busy around 8pm so probably it’s better to use reservation, especially for bigger parties. The place is very spacious, has several large areas and all of them are very cosy and intimate. I liked the menu, as it wasn’t too large and it was pretty easy to find what you’re in the mood for and make an order. We went with Tandoori Chicken, Malabari shrimp and Garden collage from tandoori. All the dishes were delicious and the presentation was great too. The service was also good. We had our water refilled without having to ask and our waiters were knowledgeable and friendly. I’m definitely putting this place to my to-go list for Indian food and can recommend it for cosy dining experience in SF downtown.
