Located close to the UIUC university campus, Ambar (not to be confused with Amber), meaning the sky is a students friendly restaurant offering small plates, small prices, and delicious Indian fare.
The good stuff: We stopped by for snack time after dropping off our freshman and had some paneer pakora, chicken pakora, and special aloo tikki. The dishes come with a tiny cup of chutneys of two different varieties. The paneer is chunky and big. The special aloo tikki is special because of the channa. The channa overwhelms the taste of aloo tikki.
The not so good stuff: The server was a bit grumpy and hardly smiled throughout the time. There were no plates placed on the table when we were served. I guess this was because the servings were small enough for one, and possibly the server thought we were not sharing the 3 items. The tiny cups are not dippable, not shareable. The chicken pakora was probably hurriedly made as the batter was still wet between folds.
Overall Ambar is a good place for quick plate of delicious Indian food.

Fantastic food with wonderful service. It was so quiet and I'm not sure why more people weren't there for lunch but I didn't mind it not being packed!!

Very frustrating that they are known for Indian restaurant with such a bad taste. No bowl kept and eating curry in plate is so much weird. They need to close it down or need to change name without adding “Indian food”. Such a tasteless food I ever had in any Indian restaurant in USA

I will suggest not to go to this restaurant.No warm welcome. Surprisingly this restaurant doesn’t have bowls.You have to take curry in dishes. Isn’t it funny.Food quality is bad. I live in America since so long but never seen such a restaurant.
I went here last year bought a single dish with naan. It cost me little over 20 dollars and it tasted so bad and full of oil. I went this year had buffet and suprisingly pretty good and with tax and tip was only 18. I ate few diffrent dishes and they were good. Naan is fresh and hot. I enjoyed.

Ordered Chicken tikka masala spice level 3 and 6 and garlic naan through Uber eats. The chicken tikka masala is creamy and flavorful. If you want chicken tikka masala, THIS is the PLACE!
