Nous avons pris le lamb curry & le butter chicken avec 2 cheese naan. Les repas étaient bon, mais le cheese naan est fait avec un fromage caoutchouteux…
On avait soif & le service n'était pas très réactif pour nous remplir nos verres d'eau & nous n'avions pas de carafe d'eau à table.. donc pas génial. Compliqué de se garer dans la rue donc faut prévoir quelques rues avantView more
We showed up right at 5PM for their weekday happy hour deal: order any main & get 50% off appetizers & drinks. For real, that kind of deal in Montreal feels like a unicorn. Bonus? It's BYOB! Bring your favorite bottle or try their mocktails-surprisingly bold & worth it.
Mocktail highlights:
🍍 Ginger Pineapple Fusion - Bright, zesty, & just the right kick.
🥭 Mango Virgin Mojito - Sweet, tropical, & super refreshing. Perfect sidekick to all the spicy bites.
What we ate (& loved):
🥟 Chana Samosa - My MVP appetizer. Think crispy samosas loaded with spiced chickpeas, yogurt, & tangy chutneys. Like Indian nachos, but better.
🫓 Keema Naan - Fluffy naan stuffed with spiced ground meat. Tasty, but I'd ask if they could make it spicy next time!
🫓 Cheese Naan - Fluffy naan with cheese inside
🫓 Garlic Naan - Delicious with the butter chicken 🤤
🍗 Chicken Pakoras - Crispy, juicy, would love a little hot sauce with it.
🥗 Paneer, Tomato & Mango Salad - Gorgeous & fresh but a bit mild flavor wise. Wanted a bit of crunch or spice to round it out.
Main dishes = full flavor mode:
🍛 Butter Chicken - Creamy, rich, & total comfort food goals.
🍤 Shrimp Karahi - Light, flavorful, & packed with peppers & onions.
🍖 Lamb Biryani - Fragrant rice, tender lamb, & cozy spice. Everything you want in a biryani.
🔥 Mixed Grill Platter - All the tikka you could want-chicken, lamb, malai, & seekh kababs. Juicy & sizzling. Perfect for sharing (or not).
Sweet ending:
🍮 Cardamom Crème Brûlée - Dreamy custard with a toasty caramel top & that warm cardamom hug.
The vibe? Cozy, colorful, & full of personality. The staff handled our giant order & many questions with patience & smiles. This spot is perfect for date night, squad dinner, or spoiling yourself midweek.
💡 Foxy Tip: Bring a bottle, ask for extra spice if that's your vibe, & don't skip the chana samosa.

Visited as part of a social media collaboration. This review reflects my honest experience.View more
Belle présentation de ce restaurant ! Carte assez variée mais plat pas exceptionnel à mon gout juste passable. Déçu par le cheese naan que je n'ai pas mangé finalement.
Je n'ai pas été transportée dans l'univers de la cuisine indienne ou pakistanais.
Néanmoins service impeccable rien a dire 👌🏾
Restaurant difficile d'accès en voiture prévoir du temps pour trouver un stationnement.View more
Nous nous attendions à plus en se fiant aux'reviews' & aux prix... très bof. Tout était tiède, le pain naan était dur, les plats goûtaient pas mal la même chose, fades, le service péniblement long (clairement un manque de staff).View more
Tout simplement délicieux, meilleur pain naan que j'ai mangé & Alo Gobi & poulet au beurre excellentView more
I recently visited Amber Restaurant & had an amazing experience. The chicken tikka masala was rich & flavorful, with just the right level of spice that didn't overpower the dish. The naan was soft & perfectly paired with the curry. The staff was attentive, & they made great recommendations when I wasn't sure what to order. The atmosphere was lively, with traditional Indian music setting a cozy vibe. I found the prices to be reasonable for the quality & portion sizes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.View more
This BYOW spot is a real hidden gem. The prices are fair, the food is always great, & the service is super friendly. The lunch special is a must-try-an Indian naan sandwich with fries & a drink. It's filling, & even with tip included, it's still really cheap!View more
We're from Afghanistan,but today we decided to try an Indian restaurant, & we chose Amber for dinner. It was amazing! I tried the shrimp biryani, butter chicken, beef kebab masala, & garlic naan - everything was delicious. Wallah, it was fantastic! The owner, Hafsa, was so sweet & provided excellent service. Highly recommendView more
Food was great, although the butter chicken was only ok. Service was terrific. Unfortunately, there was a table of 8 people who had brought a lot of wine making an unbelievable racket, we had to eat quickly & leave because we literally weren't able to hear each other speak. Still giving a 4 for atmosphere because it would have been very nice without that table of selfish morons. The wait staff was professional & apologetic for the noise, & the beef curry, bhaji, & traditional naan were amazing. Recommended unless there's a loud group near you.View more
Found this cozy restaurant perfect, although from my location it is far but worht the drive. We tried an array of veg & non-veg entrees & main course & loved them all. the naan breads were hot & fresh & portions were very good.View more
This is the most white people Indian food I've ever had. I'm talking'Midwestern retired boomer with a house on Florida' white. Absolutely no flavour, no complexity, no spice. Hospital food. The presentation is good, but the pictures for the lunch menu lie to you as they show the main dish being the larger plate, while on delivery it's on the smaller side, way smaller than the rice. So, it's basically a side dish. I'm not complaining about the spiciness levels, I understand why it would be mid being in Canada, I prefer mid personally too. But, Indian food is not about the hotness, but the complex flavours, mixing & elevating each other in the curry. There was none of that. It was like a tomato soup but even that is acidic. I could not taste any of the spices, where was the cardamom, where was the turmeric? I tried two curries, couldn't tell them apart. No depth at all. I feel like getting a COVID test after eating there, just in case it's me. The vegetable side dishes were overall better than the main dish. The naan was fine, but a bit undercooked. Never coming back.View more
The beautifully decorated Indo-Pakistani, BYOW, restaurant is located in the heart of the Plateau, on Rachel. First, the decor is stunning, the choice of colors, the bar, the wall art...everything is well thought out. We were greeted by the lovely owner who served us a feast. They do not serve alcohol but their non-alcoholic drinks will make you forget alcohol! We got the Mango Virgin Mojito, which was absolutely AMAZING, & the Iced Caramel Chaï Latte, which was perfect! We highly recommend their drinks! We also got to try their famous lunch thali (they have veg or non-veg) which is served only from Wednesday to Sunday (11:30 - 16:00). The thali is so complete, with an appetizer, your choice of main curry, 2 veggie curries, rice, naan, & a dessert. Then we got a few dishes; - Paneer Tikka - Chicken Kebab Masala (MY FAVE!) - Haleem Beef - Chicken Vindaloo We finished the meal with a Cardamom Crème Brûlée & an Almond Kulfi. We highly recommend trying out this place! The food is exquisite!View more
This is one of the best in town. I loved all the dishes. The Owner Hafsa is so kind & helpful. All the staff were great & i will definitely visit this place again. The ambience is very fancy & beautiful. Highly recommend this place.. must try :Kulfi , Brownie , veg korma, paneer pakoda, Biryani, garlic Naan, mango majito, mango Lassi, Gobi 65View more
Ate there recently, the food is amazing, as a big fan of Indian food, this place didn't disappoint at all. I got the chicken tikka masala, with rice & got naan as well, while my family took the menu, with a whole lot of different kinds of food & we all loved it.View more
Items ordered: Midi Thaali(untill 4pm only weekdays), lamb biryani & lamb karahi & naans. Portions are very good. Bit more than 1 person can finish. Specially the thaali. Thaali has 1 non veg & 2 veg curries & comes with samosa, naan, rice, chutney & dessert. It was very good. Biryani was good this time, spice level was ordered very spicy & like we say in our language(paisa wasool +) means money was fully recovered in taste & pleasure. Same goes for lamb karahi ordered in very spicy level & is a plus in all taste & portion & enjoyment. 👌 authentic taste. Naans were big & awesome. So we loved everything & was satisfied. Very good & not at all expensive. Well done.View more
Super expérience au Amber ce jeudi soir avec mes amies ! La nourriture était délicieuse, je recommande fortement le mutter paneer, le poulet tandoori & le cheeze naan. Le service était incroyable aussi , nous avons été super bien reçu par Valentina. Nous allons revenir !!View more
Délicieux! You can reliably judge an Indian restaurant just by the quality of its naan bread. & the dishes are just top notch. Refined yet authentic.View more
Le butter chicken + naan à l'ail : juste excellentsView more
Restaurant très propre & très beau. Les plats étaient excellents & les naans aussi ! le service de Saim était incroyable ! Mes invités ont eu 30min de retard & elle a été adorable avec nous. Super serveuse. Je recommence ce restaurant à 1000%View more
Really Dissapointing. :( Lamb Korma was just okay-ish, Chicken Tikka Masala was simply tasteless, & Naan was burnt... They are much better Indian restaurants in Montreal, don't waste your money here.View more
Excellent meal at a very good price. The chicken korma is an absolute mystery have! Never, ever skip the garlic naan too.View more
le poulet au beurre est très bon mais le shahi paneer & les naans sont ordinairesView more
J'y suis allée avec une amie, nous avons été agréablement surprise. Tout était super bon, je recommande d'ailleurs le naan à l'ail! Nous y retournerons certainement & l'option apportez votre vin fait en sorte que la facture est très raisonnable à la fin. Les portions sont assez grosse pour partager des choix à deux.View more
We had takeout tonight & it was fabulous. Ready in 20 minutes! The lamb vindaloo was sour & spicy - just the way it is supposed.to be! Saag was nicely spiced with good chunks of paneer. The butter chicken sauce was rich & just the touch of sweetness to match the cream. Naan - fluffy & lovely. Great tandoori chicken. We are ready to go to the dining room next!!!View more
We were greater by Victoria, a doctor to be, at the door. She gave us great service & with a smile. Food was good. Naan was extremely good. BYOB. Chef, please marinate the shrimp with added salt 😘 Makes a world of differenceView more
via LibroApart from the Lamb dish which was decent, the four other dishes we ordered were very bland . Also the naan was cold & not fresh. I'm very surprised that they managed to make indian food bland with all the spices involved! Very disappointed in the food but the ambiance & service was good.
Manque de saveur, repas fade (pas d'épice & de sel). Les pains Naan goutent rien & ils sont sec. Ma première experience négative dans un restaurant de culture indienne.View more
I love this restaurant! The tandoor items are amazing & so was the nihari. The biryani could've used more flavour & the naans are a bit overpriced but honestly, i can't complain since Amber's ambiance & service are incredible.View more

The food was extremely bland! Absolutely zero salt in anyone's dish, & the garlic naan was under cooked, crispy on the edges but very doughy in the middle... & the samosas for appetizers were clearly frozen & thrown in the oven & they were super doughy inside too, & crispy on the outside!!
Not good food unfortunately
Located just west of St. Denis street on Rachel, Amber is a pleasant Indian restaurant with a warm ambiance & friendly staff. All the classic dishes are available...for our meal we had Dahl Soup (ok...could have been more flavorful), Chicken Tikka Boti (very good), Shrimp Biryani (very good), Butter Chicken (good...not as seasoned as we are used to), Aloo Gobi (good), Mutter Paneer (also good), Chana Masala (very good) & Garlic Naan (excellent). Overall we had a pleasant experience. Enjoy!
NOTE: This is a BYOB restaurant.View more
