Heard nothing but great things about Amba and was really looking forward to trying it. Went in with 3 friends to celebrate a special occasion was told the wait would be 30-40 minutes. We said it was no problem and asked if we could sit at the bar and have a drink while we wait. When we sat at the bar, the only this the bar tender served us was ATTITUDE. Everything we said was met with judgement and attitude. I am so disappointed that this was our experience. One person can really ruin an evening.

The food is awesome, Indian food in a completely new way. The main issue is that foods are more like appetizers, and as soon as you sit, they are rushing you to place more and more orders and 3 min after your order the food is on your table. without accepting reservation, this means you wait 1 hour in line to get the table, and you are out in 30 min spending $200 for 2. I would go there for their food but not for an occasion.

One of the best dining experiences in all of Cleveland. Amazing & creative food & drink plus super friendly to those with dietary restrictions. This has become one of our favorite places to eat in Cleveland

Absolutely fantastic. I do not drink bourbon, had a sip of my friends bourbon/ passionfruit cocktail and immediately ordered- DELISH.
The cucumber pineapple salad- please do not ever take this off the menu ..honestly my friend and I were blown away at the flavor this was outstanding and so refreshing paired with heavier dishes.
Chickpea fritters excellent, and the tikka chicken ..excellent flavor and texture. Very satisfied with the portion sizes as well. This is one of the best restaurants in Cleveland no doubt, cannot wait to go back and try other things!

I went for my birthday and we waited over 1 hr for a table. The food is extremely mediocre, I am shocked by the good reviews. The best thing on the menu is the chili sauce, which is not even food. The service left a lot to be desired - we placed our order and found out that our server did not take down some the dishes so those were even more delayed coming to our table. There was also lot of miscommunication with the kitchen - they brought out plates that we ordered once - on two different occasions....If you are going for vibes, fine. But for a decent Indian meal with great service look elsewhere.

If you are indian origin, and expect the test, this is not the place for you. We have had better upscale indian foods and this is not one of them. We don't recommend going over here again ever. We wish chef would be from Lyon.

We loved everything we ordered - herb raita & clay bread, smashed pea samosas, shrimp & pilau, string beans. The drinks were also tasty!

Some of the best food and drinks I've ever had. Atmosphere is perfect for a date night or hanging with friends. Will definitely be making many returns
Fantastic fusion food. Am usually a bit wary of places that serve fusion food. This one's just awesome. The ambiance is pretty cool. The kulfi is simply out-of-this-world. Highly recommended.

I think the worst restaurant I have been to. The food is not Indian; it is just the Indian inspired cuisine plus the staff is really very rude!

We waited at the bar for a table to open up and enjoyed a few of the succulent drinks. Mira met us in the back bar area and went above and beyond, service wise. She went out of her way to find our group of 4 the best table in the restaurant. Not only was the service very accommodating but there is a bite for everyone here. My favorite was the chicken tikka. You could taste The seasoning/crispiness of the chicken through the sauce which was excellent. With so many options you can’t go wrong. Overall worth a shot and if you don’t like it then they’ll at least have a cocktail to make up for it. Yum yum! We ordered several dishes and they all had so many flavors. Great vibe and drinks. So fun with a group but I will say more is not necessarily better. With so many dishes the flavors are fighting each other in my stomach. Need a nap and to lay down but will be back and not order so many dishes. No additional notes!! We got A7, A1, A9, A5.
