Amber India Restaurant

Very good ambience. Choice of vegetarian food. Both buffet and alakarte available.

Very rude servers. I will not recommend this place at all.

Went for lunch buffet and server was very rude.

Been frequenting this place for years. Lately the food is more Nepali and doesn’t taste like Indian cuisine any longer (presumably because of chef and staff turnover). Their lunch buffet in particular, is very disappointing. I don’t expect to visit this restaurant any more. Bummer…..

Prefer Indian vegetarian food on a Tuesday. Our son had suggested this place. We were at Target and it was only a 4 min walk from there. Though Google had warned that it closes at 2:30 pm and it was already 2 pm, we went there. Better non-veg spread than veg spread in the buffet, but we took r veg food. Husband liked the daal and and I the paneer lavender. Jalebi not so good. Atmosphere very nice

This continues to be one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Convenient location across the street from Powell BART station. The food is outstanding and reasonably priced. I appreciated all the gluten free offerings. The restaurant used to be elegant and quiet. It has gotten more popular; when we went, it was crowded and noisy. It also could use some 'refreshing' in terms of appearance. It's fine now but it used to be beautiful.

I've had dinner here before and it was really good. I scheduled a business lunch and was puzzled to find that only buffet service was provided. The food was ok, not outstanding. I would have e liked to know that my meal was to be buffet only and would have come back only for dinner.

Service was great, food taste and quantity not good. Charges were outrageous and portion size even more so. Samosa and tandoori chicken was good; Papdi chaat 6 pieces for 15 bucks not good; palak paneer had no distinct taste at all and the dessert quantity of pistachio kulfi was dismal, with 4 small pieces. No idea what the restaurant is trying to achieve but disappointing.

Absolutely terrific Sunday brunch! Great variety of wonderful tasting Indian food. One of the best brunches in San Francisco. We'll definitely return!

Never fails to please. Expensive, but totally worth it. One of the best Indian in the Bay Area. Correction. The best.

From the drinks to the Chaat appetizers to the main courses this is an outstanding experience.

Incredible flavors from many of the Indian spices arranged beautifully in the chef's special

Everything was great! The noise level in the dining room was way too much for me ... I have trouble hearing in a noisy room...but they were kind enough to seat us in the back room which was lovely and quiet.

I've eaten at a couple of the Amber India restaurants and the food is always enjoyable. The menu is different at each location so something to be aware of. The vegan options are decent enough. The prices seem to have increased significantly since I last visited (a year ago) which made for a more expensive meal than I was expecting and less value.

Amber India is a great option for Quality Indian food in downtown San Francisco. It is ideal for family outings and also for business meetings. Some of the tables / seating arrangement can be a be uncomfortable if you are too tall or short. The food quality is great, but in general, it is slightly on the expensive side, probably due to the location. When the restaurant gets full (and it does), the noise levels may go up. But definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for Indian food in downtown San Francisco.

Delicious as always—I meet a fried for dinner at Amber every month and it is consistently delicious and the service always attentive.
