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.
The main course and desserts were amazing. The appetisers were average. They had variety of options for vegetarians. Their service was exceptional and staff were friendly and helpful. It made our father's day celebration special.
We stumbled across Amber India while in town for my nephew’s Stanford graduation, and wow—what a find! My mom, sister, and I had such a great dinner here. The food was chef’s kiss amazing—do yourself a favor and get the goat cheese naan. SO. GOOD. Like, we’re still talking about it.
Service was top notch—shout out to Salvador, who was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect.
The vibe was nice overall, though it got a little loud thanks to a few big groups around us (probably not the norm, just some celebratory energy in the air). Still, it didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed it.
If you're in the area and craving delicious Indian food, Amber India is absolutely worth the stop!
We had an absolutely worst experience at Amber for Mother's day dinner. We have been going to Amber for over 20 years and never had faced any issues; food and service were always excellent. We were a large party and they had one person serving the whole patio, needless to say even getting water refills took 30 minutes, I guess when service charges are already included, service takes a hike. The dal takda was mushy and looked like it was leftover from their lunch buffet, butter chicken was bland, rogan josh had a smell, bhindi didn't have any flavor and breads were dry. We didn't make a fuss since it was Mother's day celebration but called back after couple of days to speak with the owner. The manager, Ravi, said that it is something that he will look into and will get back to us. Apparently they had a executive chef change but that shouldn't impact service or food quality. Needless to say, he didn't bother to respond after 2 weeks. Looks like when you are a popular restaurant, customer complaints don't matter!!
The food is great. Not too spicy. The Mother's Day lunch buffet was awesome. Extra items that they never have.
Love the ambience and taste of the food here!! But what I LOVE the most is the EXCELLENT customer service each and every time we come here!! - Today we were served very kindly by Salvador!! - Such a great guy that adhered to all our requests!! Salvador was excellent, professional, and made our day!! What a guy!!
We always enjoy dinner at Amber. The food is very good and portions generous. This evening, we were disappointed they did not have our favorite lamb roganjosh,,,,maybe because they had two parties in auxiliary rooms. The main dining room was also very noisy because of a large party of 20-25 people. The restaurant might think about installing sound baffles.
Very spacious restaurant, amd wonderfully welcoming too! The buffet spread was great for vegetarians too, with a lot of tasty options. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, and so different from what we are used to eating. The Goan fish curry was cooked to perfection. The paneer corn was comforting and satisfying. The service was genuinely attentive from start to finish. Plenty of room to enjoy your meal without feeling crowded. The outdoor space is a whole mood with brightly colored chairs. The only miss was the gulab jamuns, they were a bit rubbery for my taste. But with everything else shining so bright, that’s easy to forgive. I’d definitely be back!
Real waiting time is much longer than promised by staff
First time visiting. Ordered Veg Pakora & Edamame Croquet as appetizers and Malai Kofta & Paneer Pasanda. All these items were served cold. Essentially, served us food from earlier in the day. At least they could have warmed it up before serving. When we complained, they took it back and warmed it up in the microwave. Really disappointing experience!

Done with this place. $30 buffets, average ultra heavy food, mediocre service. This is an overpriced, non-representative restaurant which hasn’t taken any past customer feedback to get better.
My wife and I had a great experience. We had a fantastic lunch. My wife enjoyed her chicken tikka masala and my lamb varattu was fantastic. Next time we'll probably get a vegetarian dish, either aloo gobi or vegetable jalfrezi. We'll be back.
Thank you Ravi for accommodating a group of 22 ladies last Sunday for Buffet brunch celebrating Women's day , the food and your hospitality is amazing. We look forward to coming back soon for another occasion.
Ordered food from here. Really really bad, prices was obnoxious for the food quality. Do yourself a favor, avoid food from here
The food was quite disappointing especially given the price.
