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.
Average food. Like seriously average. I think a lot of the dishes have very mild flavors which is not at all like what Indian cuisine should be (coming from an Indian man). I will say however that they do not play about their portions. If you order a chicken dish, they will give you a lot of chicken, which I really appreciate, but it doesn't make up for the lack of flavor sorry.
Amber is an absolute must-visit for Indian food lovers in Montreal. From the moment you walk in, the beautiful decor sets the tone for a truly special dining experience.
We visited on a quieter night - likely because a soccer game was keeping people home - which meant we enjoyed attentive, wonderful service without the usual wait. The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire evening.
Now, the food. The menu boasts an impressive selection, & everything we tried was outstanding. But the real star of the show? The naan. Hands down the best naan we have ever had - perfectly pillowy, with just the right char. It alone is worth the trip.
The drinks were equally impressive, & here's a bonus for those who like to bring their own wine or beer: Amber is BYOB, making an already-great meal even more wallet-friendly.
Whether you're planning a date night or a group dinner, Amber delivers on every front - stunning ambiance, exceptional food, & warm hospitality. We'll absolutely be back.

Our server was very nice & helped us decide what to order of all the delicious options. The chicken tikka boti was the best we've ever had & the lamb vindaloo was incredible & spicy. 10/10 amazing, some of the best indian food I've ever had
This was our favourite place to order Indian from, but the recent price hikes are insane & we can no longer afford it. $27 for a curry & $6 for a single basmati rice before taxes & fees is highway robbery. Sad because it was very tasty :(
The food was mediocre - you can't complain but I wouldn't come again. Considering that the price is way too high in my opinion. Additionally the staff/owner wasn't very friendly. There is better Indian food in Montreal.
Delicious & friendly restaurant! We weren't aware it was BYOB but the server directed us to a wine store just a couple of blocks away & it only took a few minutes to come back with some wine. The food was all excellent. The only nitpick is that our group is used to Indian food that's spicier & we would have liked a bit more heat, but it was still delicious!
Went there twice. 1st time I visited the food was decent for me (not a consensus in the group). Service was good.
2nd time, for the Tuesday special menu, the onion bhaji was the best part of the meal (though a bit cold/ room temperature). The rest was subpar, especially the butter chicken. One of the worst I tasted. Surprisingly they have beef on the menu, & it was alright.
Of the ones I visited, a rare indian/Pakistani restaurant that includes the rice with the meat/ main dish.
If you're coming by car, parking will be hard to find as it's the case for most places in the area. Probably best to park further or use public transport.
We stumbled upon Amber Restaurant when the nearby Japanese place was full - & we're so glad we did! The dal makhni & chana masala were absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, & cooked to perfect desi style.
The rice came topped with crispy fried onions, adding just the right crunch & depth of flavor - it totally blew my mind! We also got a bowl of onions on the house.
Special compliments to Chef Ali & our wonderful hostess Hafza - their warmth & hospitality made the meal even better. I literally licked the dal makhni bowl clean, & my Punjabi husband said the chana tasted just like authentic North Indian chhole.
We were so hungry, we didn't even take a photo - that's how good it was!
👉 Tip for future visitors: If you want that truly authentic Indian taste, just ask them to prepare the food desi style - they'll happily do it. I hope you love it as much as we did!
Everything was excellent from start to finish. Service was great, friendly & attentive. Food was great & it's BYOW! We brought our 90-year old mother & she loved it. She had never eaten Indian food Before. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
