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.
The restaurant itself is pretty, but the butter chicken is absolutely bland. Perhaps one of the worse Indian food experienced we had. In addition, the waitresses are not too friendly, feels like you're bothering them when you're asking questions. You're much better off finding an actual authentic Indian restaurant on Jean Talon & save your money 😌
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.
We had takeout tonight & it was fabulous. Ready in 20 minutes! The lamb vindaloo was sour & spicy - just the way it is supposed.to be! Saag was nicely spiced with good chunks of paneer. The butter chicken sauce was rich & just the touch of sweetness to match the cream. Naan - fluffy & lovely. Great tandoori chicken. We are ready to go to the dining room next!!!
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....
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!
Went with two othere for the first time. The restaurant looks nice inside although It would of been nice if the waitress to tell us that we have to pay at the counter instead of waiting to find out after waiting a long time. Little surprised they need clients to come to them for the bill than them going to the clients.
The chicken was pretty dry unfortunately & I found that the lentil soup wasn't the best. Small soup for 5$... Very overpriced/:
As a foody, it s really hard to find a place that hits all your taste bus. Amber surely did it. Deliciously divine...the taste still lingers in my mind, watering my mouth. That vindaloo lamb was an explosion softened by the delicacy of the butter chicken. But i do not regret the heat & sweat broght by that beef masala.
