Disappointed with my Uber order. The Uber app doesn't let you enter notes for your order (ex: no onions, extra spicy), so I had to call the resto to tell them I wanted my Butter Chicken'medium' spicy. Unfortunately, it was not spicy at all so whoever I spoke with, didn't listen to what I said. I had to actually put Sriracha on my food as it had no spice!
Also, there was barely any chicken in the dish, it was 90% sauce, 10% chicken.
The Dahl I ordered was so salty & watery, it was thrown out...inedible!
I paid 80$ for 6 items :(

The service is very good! It's overpriced for all the food portion. The slow cooked beef & BBQ chicken are very dry & hard to chew. The naan are the best!
Sabrina
really good south asian food - we had the lamb biriyani, beef curry & chicken korma (the most delicious out of the 3). great BYOB service & our server was very very kind & attentive

Went there twice. 1st time I visited the food was decent for me (not a consensus in the group). Service was good.
2nd time, for the Tuesday special menu, the onion bhaji was the best part of the meal (though a bit cold/ room temperature). The rest was subpar, especially the butter chicken. One of the worst I tasted. Surprisingly they have beef on the menu, & it was alright.
Of the ones I visited, a rare indian/Pakistani restaurant that includes the rice with the meat/ main dish.
If you're coming by car, parking will be hard to find as it's the case for most places in the area. Probably best to park further or use public transport.

Absolutely exceptional Indian cuisine. The prices already include the tip which is a nice bonus (& kudos to the owners on that move). Not only is the food fantastic but the ambience of the place is both welcoming & higher end without feeling snobby. Just a fabulous experience all around.
We've ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, naan bread, samosas, kanda baji, & a chickpea salad. Every dish was better than the last & we had enough leftovers to last another 2 meals.

Ok where do I start. So many gluten free options.
I took the mango salad. Tasty, juicy & not too spicy. Afterwards I took the butter chicken. The flavours are well balanced. & then, ladies & gentlemen, I tried lamb korma. OMG it was like a food hug. So good i wanted to curse LOL. I ate everything with rice because their bread is not gluten free.
The place is pretty & chique. During summer they open the big windows so you can sit near the street.

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 avant

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.

I've been coming to this restaurant for the past 3 years & my experience was always good! I love their service & the food is amazing. Their chana samosa, lamb vindaloo & chicken tikka masala is the best!

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.

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 recommend

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.

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!

The butter chicken lamb vindaloo was mouth watering. amazing staff as well.
Quentin
Lovely staff !! The food is very good for the price as well. We had the Butter Chicken & the Lamb Curry. The unlimited rice & bring your own wine are great added bonuses. We'll come back !

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.

We are from Mississauga Ontario. A wonderful excellent Pakistani/Indian restaurant serves delicious food. We had chicken karahi, beef karahi, & chicken tikka boti. Meat was tender & exotic to the taste. Portions were generous. Salad & raita were very tasty. Anyone goes to Montreal must visit Amber Restaurant.
