Amber offers a consistently flavorful and authentic Indian and Pakistani menu with generous portions and good value, set in a warm, BYOB friendly atmosphere. Service is often attentive and staff are praised for friendliness, and the menu variety keeps bringing people back. Even with notes about rising prices and occasional delays or temperature issues, the overall experience shines for bold flavors and thoughtful preparation.
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.
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!
We celebrated a great bday at Amber. Food & service was excellent. Every dish had a distinct taste & deep & delish flavours. The naan was light not heavy. The samosas too. The sauces with rich but not oily. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Oh & it is a byo
I took my parents there & all of the food was delicious. The service was warm & friendly. Highlights were the fish pakora, onion bhaji, lamb korma, butter chicken, karahi beef, & the sesame naan. Highly recommend!

Service rapide, bonne ambiance, menu varié avec beaucoup de choix (apportez votre vin), présentation simple des plats: la préparation choisie est servie dans un bol avec beaucoup de sauce, riz à part (à volonté), très bon pain naan (en supplément).
Cute restaurant & tasty food, though it may or may not be served hot. The service seemed overstretched, the lighting was way too bright, & the music sounded like it was being played from a cellphone lol
We ordered the cheese pakora, Tikka chicken salad, lamb karahi, butter chicken, & garlic naan. The pakora came cold, the Tikka chicken was about 50g or less of sliced chicken served on a garden salad, the karahi & butter chicken were very tasty.

My wife, my daughter who is 7 & a very fussy eater & myself, walked in today by fluke today for lunch. We shared am order of butter chicken which came with rice & we each got a naan. All I know is that I am very happy I walked in. My 7 year old fussy eater daughter, this is her new favourite restaurant. The butter chicken, we have never had butter chicken as good as this. The naan bread was huge, fluffy & incredible. The rice, my wife & I didn't try but my daughter had & said it's her favourite rice. The service I give 2 thumbs up as well.
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
Commandé sur ubereat ce soir, je testais pour la première fois ce restaurant. Je suis une grande fan de nourriture indienne & malheureusement je ne recommande pas cet endroit... j'ai pris des samossa, ils étaient correct mais assez gras & peu de saveur.
Le pain naan au fromage :pain naan à l'huile ? Très gras & sans gout...
Le fromage panner à la crème : crème avec une apparence de petite bulle d'huile dedans & pas de goût j'ai du ajouter du sel pour avoir un semblant de goût dans ce plat.
Très déçu...
