Amber est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour la cuisine indienne et pakistanaise à Montréal, régulièrement salué pour ses plats authentiques et savoureux ainsi que pour la générosité de ses portions. La clientèle souligne fréquemment des incontournables comme le pain naan, le poulet au beurre et diverses spécialités d'agneau, tout en notant que le restaurant offre une atmosphère chaleureuse idéale autant pour les rendez-vous intimes que pour les repas de groupe. L'établissement permet d'apporter son propre vin, un avantage économique très apprécié des visiteurs. Bien que la qualité du service puisse varier selon les moments, de nombreux clients rapportent une expérience attentionnée, amicale et professionnelle, contribuant ainsi à des moments mémorables qui incitent habitués et nouveaux venus à y retourner régulièrement.
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!

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.
Don't take the chicken tikka masala, it was really subpar & definitely not worth 18$. The sauce was too liquid, & the chicken was dry on the inside. The rice was mid. Other dishes like the chicken curry seemed ok. This place is trying to appear fancy, & the decoration is good, but the quality of the food is not at the adequate level for the price.
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.
This is one of my go to restaurants for Pakistani dishes. Each dishes are very well seasoned & so delicious. We usually order 4 to 6 plates that we can share. Service is always good & kind. Prices are very reasonable as well as the portions. It is best to reserve in advance on weekends. Can't wait to go back again.
Apart from the Lamb dish which was decent, the four other dishes we ordered were very bland . Also the naan was cold & not fresh. I'm very surprised that they managed to make indian food bland with all the spices involved! Very disappointed in the food but the ambiance & service was good.
