One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.the food is tasteless, and the quality is outright poor.
When I raised this at the counter, the staff was dismissive and uninterested, making it clear that customer feedback means nothing here.
If you value your money or your time, stay away

We have been coming to Amber India for decades -- ever since it was a small restaurant in a strip mall on the other side of El Camino in Mountain View. It's current location is more spacious and lovely than the original location, but the food is still solid and it is one of our regular favorite special occasion restaurants. A bit pricey, but worth it. Service is always stellar.

Love this place! In my opinion they can help the noise level with fabric or tapestries hanging from the ceilings/walls. Otherwise, this place is really perfect. Their cocktails are amazing!
Nishant
Less options for a buffet. Service was poor. Also the staff was not ready to take feedbacks

It had been way too long since we had been in. The food was just as fabulous as we remembered and we won't wait nearly as long to visit again!
Suzanne
As always at Amber, the food was delicious, the ambiance charming, and the service impeccable.

Went here on a Sunday evening to celebrate my wife's birthday. Service was excellent, food quality was great. Will come visit again soon.

Amber India used to maintain very good food quality. I am going back after 3-4 years and the food quality or the service was way below what I expected. There were hardly any customers too.

Food not super great for the cost. Service subpar, someone at our table asked for chilli pepper, the response was a very curt and rude no.
Back when I lived in the city, this was the place to go for out-of-this-world Indian food—and it still is. The new location hasn’t changed a thing: the customer service is warm and welcoming, the buttery naan and aromatic curries are bursting with flavor, and the cozy, friendly atmosphere makes you want to stay for hours. Absolutely worth every visit.

Visited this place again after a long time and was surprised to find it quite empty. One noticeable issue was the odd smell inside—possibly from non-veg dishes—which made the indoor seating area less appealing. An air freshener or better ventilation would definitely help.
The staff was friendly and courteous, which was a plus. The food itself was decent, but the portion sizes—especially for the appetizers—felt quite small for the high prices. The curry was okay, nothing particularly memorable or unique. Ambience also felt a bit dated and could use some updating to match the pricing. Overall, it’s a place with potential but needs some tweaks to feel truly worth the visit.

The menu has changed since I dined here a few years ago. I am not too fond of the new menu because my favorites such as the Goa fish curry, mushroom curry, fish pakora have been removed. Samosas are still good. I don't think.I will go back if the menu stays this way, considering the fact that this is one of the more expensive Indian restaurants.
