“ Found this place while walking around our hotel. The lighting was romantic. The place was clean. We glanced at the menu and the prices were comparable. We sampled a few things (everything we got tasted good) and left full. ”
“ We came here on a week night and it was not as busy at 5 pm but the place was pretty packed when we left around 7:30 pm. This is an upscale Indian restaurant that costs a pretty penny. For two people with drinks and two appetizers and two entrees it cost almost $90 a person. We ordered the samosas, cheese naan, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and the palak paneer. Everything was very good quality and pretty tasty. I do think that the palak paneer and the samosas were more on the bland side and could have had a little more flavor. But the naan and the chicken tikka masala had such good flavor. Everything was tasty and the service was great. I would come back and try other things. ”
“ The service was excellent and the food was amazing! Jaya was who making food at the griddle made a great dish! Also the atmosphere at the restaurant is beautiful and adds for the overall ambiance of the space. ”
“ Amber provides a modern Indian dining experience without compromising on traditional flavors. We came late at night and had to wait a bit for a table to open up. The place is dimly lit by warm candles on each table living up to their name. We end up ordering all of their specialty dishes although I would come back to try the rest. The garlic and chili naan was fresh and fluffy. The seasoning helps compliments the sweet and soft dough. The saag paneer was definitely the highlight. I've had paneer before but Amber's paneer is truly on another flavor dimension. The rich blend of kale and collard saag has a subtle leafy yet light flavor complimentary of the chewy paneer. The result is a masterclass in seasoning and textures. Amber's butter chicken is drenched in rich sweet and savory sauce. Perfect for dipping their naan. The biryani has so much value. Not only is the bowl massive enough for 2-3 people but it's also covered in a thick layer of fresh dough and served with a complimentary bowl of fresh cucumber yogurt. The price is quite reasonable for the quality and serving size. ”

“ Our server was incredibly attentive like I'm pretty sure we became best friends. I asked if they could make paneer makhani (i love butter) and they did. Lobster curry was on top, just creamy lobstery goodness. We ordered their maraschino cherry naan which at first seemed a bit crazy (bad) and then after I bit into it I realized it was crazy (good) ”
“ Went for their bottomless mimosas buffet ($48 pp). The interior is nice, clean, and the staff were very attentive. The food was ok but my favorite were the chicken wings (very moist/ flavorful) and the butter chicken. I wished there were a bit more options. Overall, a decent experience. The mimosas were nice and bubbly. The staff also makes sure your glass is always filled ;) Great place for groups or large parties. Good vibes + ambiance to chill and chat. ”
