It’s about the journey, not the destination. That’s why we took our name from the Amber Road trade route. It reflects everything that makes us special – from our eastern mediterranean roots, to our modern London spirit. It inspired us to channel the flavours of our travels abroad and our heritage into one dining experience. A space where stories exchange hands as freely as the wine flows. This is Amber. A place where all are welcome.

    Great food - ‘large plate’ risotto not really that large but v tasty; chicken main was excellent as was the Greek salad side. Nice place but just-after-work happy arrivals were a wall of noise and we just needed a quick quiet meal before train. So we passed on starter and dessert. Staff were delightful. Definitely worth returning when time and circumstances on our side.

    We had the best time at Kebab Queen. Chef Pam and his group created a wonderful menu, which not only tasted amazing but they also prepared right in front of us. Such a unique and fun experience, which was made even better by how lovely and kind everyone was. Every dish was explained, with guidance on how to best enjoy it. Questions about preparation and ingredients were answered with so much detail that you could really feel the love and passion Chef Pam has for his food and heritage. It was so interesting to hear about the background of the dishes and try unique flavour combinations. We will definitely be back and spread the word!
