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.
Malheureusement, ma blonde & moi avons été malade suite à notre repas d'hier, grosse indigestion. C'est dommage car ce restaurant a un très belle ambiance & un excellent service.

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.
Amber exceeded our expectations with its beautiful ambiance, excellent food, & top-notch service. The restaurant's decor is stunning, creating a lovely atmosphere for a meal. We tried the biriyani, which was very tasty, & the paneer pakoda, which was decent. They also didn't have the dessert I wanted, & to our surprise, they offered us a complimentary dessert as well. The desserts can never go wrong. The service was smooth & attentive, enhancing our dining experience. Although the prices are on the higher end, the quality of the food justifies the cost. Overall, Amber is definitely worth a visit for a delightful & satisfying meal.
Meilleur restaurant indien / pakistanais sur le plateau ! L'ambiance est super , le service est top & les plats sont savoureux. Le butter chicken, mutter panner & le veggie korma sont nos coups de coeur.
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 !!
I believe Amber offers the best overall experience for Indian/Pakistani food. The decor is sleek, offering what appears to be a vast dining area. The service on my last 3 visits has been pleasant is all aspects. On my last two visits I ordered the lamb biryani along with the saag paneer & bartha. In my book you can judge the quality of the establishment by it's Biryani, Amber's biryani is delicious. The rice isn't oily, there are just enough nuts & dried fruit along with a well balanced spice mix. The lamb (a generous portion) is succulent The rest of the dishes were also well spiced although I prefer the eggplant to be more present in flavour. The service is great My favourite place & to boot my dining partner will only eat Indian/Pakistani food at Amber.

Service, atmosphere & food exceeded expectations. My wife & I are not fans of spicy food ... & Amber's spice level was perfect for us. Tasty yet not over spiced. Many unique dishes & ample portions. We will be back! Thank you for making us a great dinner!
It's a very cute place, especially during summer if you get to sit at the open window. I've been to this place twice & the food tasted differently between lunch & dinner. Beef, lamb dishes seemed to miss spice both times. Paneer in the spinach souse was delicious. Service during lunch was low level. Even though I was the only person it took me 15 minutes to get the waitress to get me a bill. Service during the evening was much nicer. A different lady (I think Francesca) was extremely helpful in describing dishes & her availability in the room.
Restaurant convivial, une ambiance agréable & on y mange gracieusement. Un grand merci à l'équipe de nuit, surtout â Hafsa (la propriétaire des lieux), très souriante er accueillante. J'y reviendrai prochainement. Â bientôt.
The service & the atmosphere was truly amazing. The front staff were friendly & accommodating, & were gladly able to respond to any of our questions. The service was fairly quick, even when their busy. I will recommend trying out the saag paneer with a side of rice, which was creamy & full of flavors. The bengun had bursting flavors, especially the smokey taste since it's made in the tandoor. In the meaty side, my absolute favorite were lamb korma, lamb karahi, saag shrimp & haleem beef. & lastly, our chicken biryani was well cooked, the combination of the spices, meat & the rice were perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend trying out this place. It is very affordable & all the dishes are well priced. My family & I enjoyed it a lot & we will come back again.

Troisième fois chez Amber ( & pourtant j'habite Ottawa ) & toujours une grande satisfaction. Je fais découvrir ce restaurant...à mes connaissances montréalaises ! !!
Très belle expérience culinaire ! La nourriture est excellente, les portions sont copieuses & les prix raisonnables. Pour ma famille & moi, Amber est devenu l'un de nos restos préférés ! En plus, c'est un AVV ! Bravo ! :-)
Ce restaurant est maintenant un de nos préférés sur Montréal! Le rapport qualité-prix est très bon & la nourriture est excellente. L'ambiance est cozy, je le recommande.
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.
The staff & ambiance is really nice & a super cute vibe. But unfortunately the curries were pretty tasteless. Just doesn't feel like it was made with love.
Mon expérience au restaurant indien Amber a été mitigée. Malheureusement, l'accueil était froid & les serveurs semblaient peu enthousiastes. La cuisine était décevante, manquant de saveur & d'épices caractéristiques de la cuisine indienne.
Une perle de la restauration montréalaise. J'y suis allé à plusieurs reprises, & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Un restaurant idéal pour les petits groupes (2-6 personnes); le menu est parfait pour partager plusieurs plats. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, la nourriture est délicieuse & le service est impeccable. Cependant, le charme d'Amber ne se limite pas aux petits groupes. J'ai organisé un banquet pour mon association étudiante ( 55 personnes) & je ne pourrais pas être plus satisfait; l'évènement fut un grand succès. Encore une fois, le service était impeccable. Le gérant Marco a su me guider parfaitement à travers les démarches pour organiser le dit évènement & à travers les différentes options que le menu offre. J'ai organisé quelques évènement de la sorte, & Amber est définitivement parmis mes meilleures expériences, sinon la meilleure. Pour les grands groupes, je vous recommande d'appeler le téléphone ou de les voir en personne avant d'entamer une discussion par courriel éléctronique.
J'ai commandé une livraison qui devait arriver entre 8 h 10 & 8 h 30, elle est arrivée à 9 h, c'était immangeable parce que froid ( des plats indiens froids, ce n'est pas bon du tout). J'ai contacté le service de livraison DoorDash, l'expérience était horrible, on m'a quasiment raccroché au nez la première fois, j'ai insisté pour parler à un autre agent & là on m'a offert 5$ de pour s'excuser 😂, je ne sais pas s'il y a plus insultant que ça... bref, si vous voulez manger chez Amber, allez au restaurant, d'habitude c'est bon, mais je ne vous recommande pas du tout leur très mauvais service de livraison.
