Lack of spice & salt in the food. The butter chicken was tasteless as well & the chicken tikka masala. The samosa served was cold inside.
I strongly recommend that you add more spice to all your dishes. My friends are born & raised in montreal & yet found that the food tasted too bland overall.
We also found a huge cockroach at our table....
The food was so bland we could not eat it. The Masala tea tasted like warm milk. We ordered three dishes; one was good & the other two had no taste. We did not eat them & brough them home. I added cardamon, cloves & a pinch of salt to one (the ingredients on the menu) & it was delicious! From this I guess ingredients were left out. The butter sauce was also too bland to eat - like eating unseasoned cream. This we also improved with a pinch of salt, pinch of msg. It seems clear that the chef does not taste what they cook. I would not come back here unless I have my own spices with me.
Absolutely a wonderful experience from A to Z... my niece & her husband invited my girlfriend & me to have dinner at this gem of a restaurant. The food & service was excellent we would like to thank ANJAN our server who took great care of us & was super friendly & attentive to us. The food was a 10 on 10 from the apps to salads to main dishes. The best part also is that it's a bring ur own wine. I recommend this place to everyone. We can't wait to be back . It's best to reserve
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!
Our large group of friends just loved Amber. We ordered a large selection of starters & main dishes, half vegetarian, half with meat. Everything was delicious. The flavouring & sauces were perfect. The naan bread was fresh & hot. The restaurant has a good ambience. Our waitress was excellent. We will definitely come again
Welcoming & spacious ambience, excellent food throughout the meal, a wide range of vegetarian dishes, friendly & correct service. The butter chicken is much less sweet than elsewhere, & all the more flavourful, with dark as well as white meat enriching the dish. Highly recommended!
