Nous nous attendions à plus en se fiant aux'reviews' & aux prix... très bof. Tout était tiède, le pain naan était dur, les plats goûtaient pas mal la même chose, fades, le service péniblement long (clairement un manque de staff).
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.
This BYOW spot is a real hidden gem. The prices are fair, the food is always great, & the service is super friendly. The lunch special is a must-try-an Indian naan sandwich with fries & a drink. It's filling, & even with tip included, it's still really cheap!
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.
Found this cozy restaurant perfect, although from my location it is far but worht the drive. We tried an array of veg & non-veg entrees & main course & loved them all. the naan breads were hot & fresh & portions were very good.
This is the most white people Indian food I've ever had. I'm talking'Midwestern retired boomer with a house on Florida' white. Absolutely no flavour, no complexity, no spice. Hospital food. The presentation is good, but the pictures for the lunch menu lie to you as they show the main dish being the larger plate, while on delivery it's on the smaller side, way smaller than the rice. So, it's basically a side dish. I'm not complaining about the spiciness levels, I understand why it would be mid being in Canada, I prefer mid personally too. But, Indian food is not about the hotness, but the complex flavours, mixing & elevating each other in the curry. There was none of that. It was like a tomato soup but even that is acidic. I could not taste any of the spices, where was the cardamom, where was the turmeric? I tried two curries, couldn't tell them apart. No depth at all. I feel like getting a COVID test after eating there, just in case it's me. The vegetable side dishes were overall better than the main dish. The naan was fine, but a bit undercooked. Never coming back.
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!
This is one of the best in town. I loved all the dishes. The Owner Hafsa is so kind & helpful. All the staff were great & i will definitely visit this place again. The ambience is very fancy & beautiful. Highly recommend this place.. must try :Kulfi , Brownie , veg korma, paneer pakoda, Biryani, garlic Naan, mango majito, mango Lassi, Gobi 65
