delicious lamb korma & butter chicken. meat is so tender. the sesame naan is also a suprising hit. wonderful service. too. oh, & they make their own chai!
Had such a great experience here! The butter chicken was absolutely delicious. What really stood out, though was the service. My friend was feeling a little down & our waitress was so sweet & thoughtful that she brought her a dessert to cheer her up. 🥹 Such a kind gesture that really made our night. Great food & genuinely lovely service would definitely come back!
Average food. Like seriously average. I think a lot of the dishes have very mild flavors which is not at all like what Indian cuisine should be (coming from an Indian man). I will say however that they do not play about their portions. If you order a chicken dish, they will give you a lot of chicken, which I really appreciate, but it doesn't make up for the lack of flavor sorry.
We wanted some comfort food as we were visiting Montreal & AMBER delivered on that. They offer a thali on Tuesday's & it comes with a choice of two non veg items & a veg item of the chef's choosing. It also came with dessert, that you also get to choose.
I chose the lamb korma, chicken tikka masala & kheer as my dessert. The chicken tikka had a small kick to it but could've been spicier tbh. The lamb korma was sweet imo. Both tasted really good but I would've liked it abit more spicier. The kheer was really good! My favourite.
My husband got the beef Karahi, chicken tikka masala & rasmalai. The beef Karahi was quite tomato-heavy which I'm not a big fan of tbh. & he didn't like the rasmalai too much either. He liked the kheer better.
Overall, service was good. This is a BYOB establishment so you can bring your own alcoholic drinks & enjoy it here.
Very good food, all our choices were crazy good. We shared chicken korma, butter chicken, chicken tika-masala, aloo Gobi, garlic naan & lots more I forgot. Everything was delicious, the staff was super friendly & service was quick.
Make sure you visit the SAQ 2 blocks away. No alcool is served here. Pinot Noir is a good pairing!
Our server was very nice & helped us decide what to order of all the delicious options. The chicken tikka boti was the best we've ever had & the lamb vindaloo was incredible & spicy. 10/10 amazing, some of the best indian food I've ever had
Great atmosphere.. lights could be dimmer at 7:30 pm for late February
Like the bring your own wine.
Had chicken tandoori , excellent. Found out after I could order spicy version .. will definitely go back & order extra spicy .
I don't know how this place doesn't have all 5 star reviews! It's so good, everything we had was amazing- butter chicken, chicken korma, onion baji & the cauliflower bites. The service was great!
