Absolutely love this place! The food is so good, service is phenomenal, and atmosphere is on point. Everything on the menu is delicious but can’t miss the street rice bowl.

AMBA has amazing, delicious food with unique and lovely colors, flavors, fragrance and taste. This was the second time I ordered a complete takeout meal; but this time instead of ONE, I ordered TWO whole roasted rotisserie chickens with sides, mezze and sauces. A tall order.
Initially, I was concerned that the roast chickens might be overcooked as it was a takeout meal, but after a discussion with the head of operations, we had the entire meal ready to serve and delivered on time unexpectedly by a fellow employee, W.G.

And as promised and predicted, the meal was delivered in a timely fashion, chickens hot and ready to serve. We can't thank AMBA enough for a stellar meal enjoyed by 9 very discerning diners! This was an occasion where I the host had a chance to talk and not cook... truly priceless.

Saffron in the rice is very strong. We both got food poisoning after eating here. Got the shawarma bowls.

Bf only ate the chicken from the bowls - whereas I ate everything. I got symptoms way worse than him. Plz check contaminated vegetables.

Tasty food. Relaxing plant- and light-filled space with lots of space to chat and/or work.

I ordered chicken shawarma pita. It surprised me! It’s very juicy and flavorful. It contains pickled vegetables and I love this sourness! The pita is soft and smells tempting. Really enjoy the meal🤤

Nice design, poor chicken shawerma. I don't recommend it. It was cold despite mentioning on the menu. The chicken taste was not good...

Excellent eggplant pita! The rest of our food was good too, but the chicken eaters among me said the chicken was on the dry side. I wish I had read more reviews in advance mentioning the large portions; they really were huge, and we over-ordered and ended up throwing food away, which was a bummer. We should have split a couple things - that would have been enough for two adults and two tween-aged kids. The sesame tahini cookie was excellent; definitely get one of those if you’re considering it.
