Amber Restaurant

Nice old restaurant that definitely brings back a lot of nostalgia. However, the food quality doesn't quite match the prices — ₹100 for a naan feels pretty steep for an average restaurant in India. While the place holds its old-world charm, it really needs some upgrades to match today’s standards. Overall, it’s a good experience but could be much better with a few improvements.

I used to come to Amber as a child with my father 👨‍👦. Back then, it was one of those classy, slightly expensive restaurants 🍽️ reserved for special occasions. I fondly remember those complimentary tiny onions dipped in vinegar 🧅🫙 — a nostalgic taste. This time, I visited with my partner ❤️ and tried the Chicken Kebabs 🍗 and Biryani 🍛. The food, service, and ambiance were all really good. Not too crowded these days, but definitely an underrated gem 💎 now.

Oh.... Amber. Its halcyon days are long gone. Recommendation.... go only for old time's sake. The food was excellent but the portions were small. I had an excellent Chilli Chicken and Prawn Newberg. Both were good. The Chilli Chicken was especially paltry. The Prawn Newberg was excellent and tasty. The service was top class. I give it a rating of 5. The atmosphere was sadly quiet. I was the last guest in my area. Seeing as if I had taken my time to finish my meal it would have kept them waiting (and they were visibly winding down), I got my food packed. Trinca's is very different. Do I recommend it ? As compared to Trinca's, no. For old time's sake, once only.

Chaliye Shuru Karte hai😬 - Huge sitting area, fully airconditioned - lot of staff clean washrooms - Let go to main point -FOOD- Food is like good would not say it was outstanding. Have tried mutton korma but its preperation was totally different it was not like that traditional one. Chicken tangri kababs was also good but not the best. Palak Paneer/ Chicken Reshmi butter masala was outstanding. Fish tikka was good. Butter naan was too fluffy with butter bath. Dekhke lena apna apna🤮 Mutton Biryani was horrible with higher price, about quantity - for one person only. Tutti fruti was good but faluda ice cream was too sweet🫨. See some pictures…

Has the old charm, food is good, but not that great.

This place used to be a great restaurant for North Indian food. I remember going to this place for more than 20 years! Though recently the quality of the food has deteriorated to levels below acceptable. Eating food here can make you really sick. The worst part is that nothing tastes fresh here, well there is no taste at all. The service is fine, but there is a sense of greediness of tip that can be seen in every service you get at this restaurant. From the toilet guy, to the server, to the lift person, to the entrance security! like really!? this is so cheap! The prices when compared to serving quantity, the quantity is not enough. Each order of curry is barely good enough for one person. Overall extremely disappointed and my last visit to this restaurant. Hope the owners take these customer reviews seriously or this place is surely going to shut down soon!

Delicious food, good ambiance, best service. We ordered Chicken bharta, biryani, butter naan, fish finger , virgin mojito and fresh lime soda. It came with complimentary Achaar, onions, lemon , sauces etc. I would give 10/10

Review: Amber Hotel, Kolkata Extremely disappointed with the food and service at Amber Hotel. We ordered Cream of Chicken Soup, but it barely had any chicken just a few tiny pieces floating. The Fish Liver Gin starter was oily, tasteless, and had a thick coating that overpowered the fish. In the main course, Garlic Naan was average, Dal Makhani tasted like simple homemade dal, and Chicken Bharta was bland with very few chicken slices not enough even for one person. The biggest letdown was the Mutton Moti Biryani. The rice wasn’t warm, the mutton pieces were tiny and extremely hard, the potato was undercooked, and overall, even street side biryani shops serve much better quality. To add to the disappointment, the staff showed no concern when we mentioned the issues. No courtesy, no response. What once used to be a fine dining name in Kolkata has completely lost its charm. Prices appear competitive, but the trick lies in their extremely low quantity. Verdict: Overpriced, tasteless, poor service. Definitely not worth visiting anymore.
