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 arrived and our table was ready and waiting. We ordered some wine straiggt away while we looked at the menu. The service was really fab, great vibe in the restaurant. The meal was very tasty, particularly the chicken main dish and the selection of veggies options was great. We had a lemencello for dessert and a complimentary piece of cake to share which finished our meal off perfectly 👌 would recommend to a friend and would go again. Enjoy!!
