    The food was good. The service was friendly and atentive. But the whole place was full and consequently very noise. We were a company of 4 on a small square table, but sometimes we had trouble understanding each other

    Great price for an outstanding service and staff toon by the Brunch staff. The chef is to be commended for his adherence to classic cuisine.

    I chose Amber India based on past experience at a different location. I specifically wanted to enjoy the Chilean sea bass for my birthday dinner. The location and decor are wonderful. The attentiveness and caring of the staff was the best part of the evening. Unfortunately, the food was far below expectations. The sea bass was overcooked and had a ‘fishy’ smell. The lamb curry had an ordinary taste and thin gravy. I had delicious memories of past meals at Amber in San Jose and this meal was a major disappointment. Our server acknowledged my birthday and I appreciate this gesture.

    I had Kadai Paneer and Lacha Paratha. The Kadai Paneer was completely flavorless, and the paneer itself seemed like it was from the frozen variety, with a very tough texture. The paratha was cold and lacked the usual chewiness. Never going back!
