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.
UPDATE: It has been many years & many more visits to Amber since I wrote my original review (below)... & still I feel compelled to add that Amber is more than a spectacular Indian/Pakistani restaurant. It is more than its fantastic food. Amber is... well... a (& yes, I know how silly this sounds... *smile*) a happiness experience! The staff, the decor, the insanely perfect food... Again we left the restaurant so content &... happy! ❣️ ORIGINAL: We "tried" to walk by this restaurant on our way home last week, but the food, the spicey smells, forced me back to the open window. We made a reservation for last Saturday night &... wow... Perfection. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in this area, but the quality & flavours &... everything here excelled. The one other bonus? The staff. They too were the best! Thanks to you Amber for a really great evening! See you again soon! *************************************** Seven months later, &... OMG!!! We have been traveling, &... We finally went again!! For the umpteenth time!! *smile* This time? Still amazing! I was a volunteer in Himachal Pradesh, & had the amazingly good fortune to (literally) live on Auntiji's incredible cooking. So, needless to say, I am incredibly spoiled... But Amber? It absolutely blew me away again... AGAIN! This is fabulous Indian cuisine. Seriously fabulous. The ONLY thing to come close to rivaling the food is the service. The staff are so wonder-full... I've been so fortunate as to have travelled in India a few times, & still... Amber is a "how do I stop myself from going there again?" restaurant. Seriously check it out. You will not be sorry! *smile*

Lovely Food. I had the non-vegetarian thali, & I must say it was one of the best thalis I've eaten. Very delicious, & the service was excellent. The lady who served me helped me choose the choice of my curry & also helped me replace one of the curry's with another, because of which I relished both the vegetarian & non-vegetarian spread. A must try restaurant
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!
Great Indian restaurant with big portions. They have bring your own wine concept, it's a great restaurant for celebrations as well. Ask a smiley waitress for suggestions of the food. :)
The place is exquisite. Food atmosphere & service, everything was great..The taste was definitely good but the way they presented made it more tempting plus the service & friendly behavior of the owner Madam Hafza made me a fan of hers. We really enjoyed the visit & wish her all the best.
