My favorite Indian food in the Bay Area, and I love Indian food. I prefer the Mountain View location to the SF location (haven't been to the Santana Row one) because the flavors are richer and just overall tastier.
The lunch buffet is great--tasty and the restaurant is super clean. For dinner, the food is great as well. Love the chicken tikka masala and the okra dishes a lot. My only issue is that in principle, I feel like all dishes should come with rice; not here. Nothing comes with the meal, so a few orders of rice and all of a sudden your bill is $10 higher. Overall, it's pricey, so don't expect a cheap-o meal. But it's tasty and has good friendly service.
After a few hours spent getting myself and "Janet" H. (along with Vy N.) ready for a Halloween party, we stopped by here to grab some food.
Immediately walking in with our costumes, we got some looks from the diners but the staff were kind enough not to even bat a lash.
I chose a vegetable curry based on our server's recommendation that came with naan. I made it garlic naan because, well, I like garlic naan!
It came with a lentil soup and was really delicious. Be careful when it comes out because it is piping hot and I burnt my tongue on it. But it was so good!
Definitely must come back and try some of their other dishes!
This place has definitely changed over the years. The interior decor has been remodeled and is modern and fancy. The weekday lunch buffet price has also risen to $13.95, but feature chicken-only for meat eaters...along with a dish of what used to be hot, but now cold fish...what happened to the lamb?
...out of everything that I had from the "hot entrees," the rice was warm while everything else was either cold, or room temperature...including the naan!!!
The wait staff did promptly remove my plate when I went back for seconds....but neglected to refill our room temperature naan, despite asking...
...oh yes, a piece of my chicken was sour...perhaps it was putrid?
This is the BEST Indian buffet I've been to. (It packs out with real Indian ppl, too, so I know I'm right lol.) Love love love it!
I've heard so many positive things about Amber, so when I had an opportunity to go for lunch, I jumped at it, expecting wonderful things of the food.
Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. Went for the lunch buffet, which was just so-so. It wasn't any different than any other indian buffet that I have had in the Bay area.
The boondi yogurt was over salted.
The dal flavorful - but didn't have the spice that I like.
The fish was totally tasteless and cold!
The asparagus with paneer was quite interesting.
The creamed spinach was nice but once again, didn't have the spice.
The tandoori chicken didn't have the true tandoori taste. Lemon helped a little bit but not enough.
The chicken makkhani was somewhat sweet - not something I like.
The gulab jamuns were, well, gulab jamuns - nothing spectacular.
I doub't if I'll go back here again.
My father wanted to go out for Indian. Yes, this is an opportunity for another shameless plug for Yelp. I decided on Amber after reading a few reviews and checking the online menu. It wasn't that busy when we arrived around 6 on a Saturday, but by the time we left, the restaurant was full and so was the waiting area.
The smell wafting from the kitchen was wonderful. The waiter suggested the Mixed Grill and Butter Chicken and we added Saffron Rice, Garlic & Basil Naan and Dal Bhukara. There was a lot of "this is so good" and "have you tried that yet?" being said at the table. I would order anything from the Mixed Grill on it's own except the 1 shrimp on the sizzling plate was overcooked. My favorite, the Butter Chicken, more than made up for the poor shrimp. I was a little worried because the word butter was in the title but it had the perfect amount of creaminess with a little spicy heat. The sauce wad perfect for scooping up with the Naan.
I thought the prices were a little high but we enjoyed the food. I'm looking forward to going back for the buffet lunch or the Amber Dinner. Next time a will forego the Amber Cosmopolitan, Chai and Kulfi Falooda dessert. The ice cream tasted like vanilla with very few pistachios and the small pieces of noodle at the bottom of the bowl didn't bring anything to the party.
quality - they brag about the ingredients of high quality, but too bland for average indian. Food is more of americanized, hence you see lots of non indians.
Price- Not worth writing home about.
Location: It is in some strip mall, good luck finding parking on a busy lunch time.
Clientele - Mostly non indians. (either very expensive or not authentic for most Indians, it is just my opinion).
Management/waiters - Arrogant, mainly trained to please non-Indians.
This was my first shot at supposed "authentic and delicious Indian cuisine" thanks to Yelper reccomendation. Personally, most of the chicken dishes were lightly spiced and perhaps for more of a Western palate. TBH? I certainly didn't mind. I tried the Chicken Tikka Masala for the first time and I have never liked the taste of tomato more! My chicken tikka was simmered in a creamy and lightly spiced tomato sauce served with a cinnamon scented long grain rice on the side. The rice is not included with your entree and neither is the naan.
I was very happy with the flavors in my dish and the crispy/chewiness of the naan. Although, garlic and basil, I didn't really taste any garlic. The BF ordered a spicy chicken curry which he couldn't finish (he ALWAYS cleans his plate) because of spicy overload. Amber India doesn't mess around I guess.
I definitely see Amber as a future craving. Side note: Staff was professional but a little on the serious side. Could've used a smile or two. Also, no wait around 7:15pm on a Friday night.
I've been back for lunch and dinner and have just been more and more impressed with the quality of the food and the service. This is a real gem!

Living in Redwood City provides an abundance of good Mexican food but it's kind of lacking in… Read more »
I ordered take out and was pleasantly surprised to find my food still warm by the time I sat down at home. However, for $20 I was a little surprised by how small the bag was, but hey it's supposed to be the best in these parts right?
The Chicken Tikka Masala was great. The sauce was complex, tangy, spicy, sweet. I loved how it hit my palate different ways with each bite. The chicken was good, cut to manageable pieces, great with the sauce.
Big negative was that my naan tasted day old. It was tough and chewy. I feel like they threw it in because I was taking out and couldn't complain once I got home. Boo on day-old tasting naan.
Strip mall ambience - 1
Food - 3 (the chef's chicken special was really good)
Service - 1
We were seated in a corner in the front dining area where we were not visible to our waiter or the other service staff. It seemed as if they did not remember that we were there. There is really no ambience, no charm and it was cold inside. We might try the cafe but won't return here again.
I've been here 4 or 5 times b/c it's close to work. Ambience is cool and it's a cute little Indian Restaurant. It's clean and staff is friendly. I usually go for their buffet during lunch but I take it to go due to my time constraint. So, price for buffet is $13.95 and they give you 1 togo plate and 2 little containers. Some days, they'll have fried basils which i love and their butter chicken is always good... Their fish is a hit and miss. Today, their fish was soaked in a curry sauce which was tasteful. If it's not with curry, I would not suggest getting it. Would I come here if wasn't close to work? Maybe..
We came here Saturday night and this was the first time I've been to Amber. This is by far the best Indian food I have ever had. We ordered a prawn dish, curry eggplant, butter chicken and curry lamb. We also got garlic and frontier naan.
Everything was really good, the frontier naan was a nice change from what I have expected from regular naan, it had a raisin filling in it which was great.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the price. This was the best Indian food I have had so the $ wasn't a big concern but at $20-$25 per item it was a little more than I've normally spent for Indian food.
Horrible food & rude managment
I have been an Amber patron for a long time but thing seem to have changed lately for the worse.
We called at 6 PM to make a reservation for 4+1 knowing very well that they server only a la carte during dinner (and buffet during lunch). At 6.45 I called again to change my reservation to 5+1 and I was told I had no previous reservation. Huh. Well they took down the reservation for 8.30 PM. When we arrived we were surprised to find out it was a buffet being a festival day for Indians. Well not a problem, would have been nice to have been told.
30 minutes later we were seated and when I sampled the food it was asbolutely sub par. When I causally mentioned it to the manager he asked me to sample everything - "probably I had not tasted all the items". When I reiterated he mentioned "this is a buffet so I should not expect the same quality of food". Oh really. Later the said "the food has been out (on the table) since 5 PM (and it was close to 9 pm)". I am horrified by the absolute indifference of Amber mgmt. At the end of my absolutely sub par dinner $21.95++/pp I asked if I could write my comments somewhere. They said they had no such facility.
Amber did surely loose a long time patron yesterday.
Been here a couple of times for the buffet lunch and it's pretty good. I'm usually not a fan of buffets, so I'll definitely have to come back one of these days for dinner to try a la carte. The selection is just ok for me. I personally love curries, so I wish they had more curry selections. Definitely a good place for vegetarians! They also have excellent mango lassis - very creamy and not overly sweet! The atmosphere is really nice - a little more fancy than other Indian restaurants I've been to, and the service is good too.
We've been going to this place since it opened many years ago. It's our favorite Indian restaurant in the South Bay. The preparation and ingredients are all top notch. They use fresh meat, not previously frozen like some other places use. We mainly stick to eating at the buffet which provides a large selection of vegetarian and meat dishes and they have a chat selection too. We have ordered from the menu at dinner, and the prices are high.
The decor is nice, the owners upgrade the carpeting and chairs every few years and just completed their most recent renewal a couple of years ago - looks nice! Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you.
Service has been consistently high and many of their employees have been with them for years which attests to good management.
We like the other two Amber restaurants - Santana Row and San Francisco, but this one is the flag ship and leans more toward conventional Indian dishes. There is a little more fusion-style going on at the two newer places which is kind of nice to try!
This restaurant is great. Aside from the amazing food, I was able to go home afterward and not spit hot fire from my ass. That is a huge selling point to me. I love Indian food, but at 90% of the places I've ever been my post-dinner experience is just like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber when his tea is spiked with Turbo Lax.
The service was impeccable, I felt like I was only being mildly judged by the waitstaff. The butter chicken was just as good as others said, and the palak paneer was equally great. I suppose a restaurant cannot continue to be one of the top 100 restaurants in the bay area for so many years on flukes.
I had an amazing dinner at Amber last night. I had heard great things about the butter chicken (Shredded tandoori chicken in a tomato, butter and fenugreek sauce) and it definitely lived up to its star status. I also loved the other dish we got: Mushroom Mutter Makana (Mushrooms and Peas cooked with lotus seeds in an onion ginger curry).
We also chose the Aloo Tikki (Crispy potato patties with subtly spiced centers) and Papadum wafers to start, and whole wheat and garlic basil naan with the meal. All were exciting to eat and perfectly spiced. Amber is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant around.
my friend and i were craving indian for lunch, so we decided to try the mountain view location. ive been to the santana row amber a couple times for dinner, and was a bit unimpressed. i had heard the MV one was much better, and i defnitley left full and content.
the selection for lunch was plentiful, and the paleek (spinach) was one of the best ive ever had. it wasnt too creamy, and it had corn instead. their butter chicken was great, and i loved how the waiters kept coming around with the naan. can never get too much of it. my friend and i pretty much ate for 45 minutes straight.
its definitley a bit more pricier than other indian lunch buffets, but the quality is much better, and the atmosphere is more classy than other indian restaurants. i would say we paid about $17 or $18, but it was worth it. i would come again.
Overpriced and not that good. It was extremely crowded on a Sunday when I went. I wanted to get some tandori chicken. They only had chicken stewing in butter. I was disappointed.
Last Friday, this is the first time I have been here and my work is down the block. I have to say, I enjoyed it. For lunch, was the buffet and I was full. At first I was hesitiant to eat here because of the spices they had (not a big fan of spicy food). To tell you the truth, I was working up a sweat but I came back for seconds. My favorite is the Butter Chicken so far. I've tried other dishes that were good but cannot remember the names.
I think this restaurant is overrated. I came here with a party of 9 and the service was terrible, they probably figure gratuity is guaranteed so they scaled back service since they charge 18% gratuity for party of 6 or more.
We ordered appetizers but they never came back to take the rest of our order until we had to flag someone down, after finishing our appetizers. Most expensive Indian food I've ever had and the taste wasn't special, not worth the extra cost. My vegetable biryani had frozen vegetables in it, no special veggies that would justify the extra cost. I tried several other dishes my friends had and I couldn't understand why would someone pay $18 for a dish you can get $7 elsewhere.
I've had better and cheaper Indian food elsewhere, including my travels in India. For Indian food, I paid French Laundry price for Denny's food. Don't get suckered into this over hyped restaurant and save yourself some money. I rather spend the extra money to look good than eating in a nice looking restaurant.
With so many great reviews, I don't know what more I can add.....
But, because I loved it so much , I'll certainly give it a shot!
I had lunch here last week, (after saving calories and a cheat meal for it!)
We were seated immediately, and even though the lunch is buffet, the service was great. They kept the waters refilled, which was so necessary with all the spicy food.
The vegetarian items were just ok for me. I had a bite of everything to try it, though.
The tandoori chicken and butter chicken was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!
The curry chicken wasn't that interesting , but given how much I loved the other two chicken dishes, it was no big loss.
It's a little pricey for lunch, but it is buffet, and it's so good, you can't really argue the price.
I can't wait to go back:)
Really outstanding Indian food. While spending a summer at Stanford, I ate here on many occasions. The buffet is excellent and is a great value. Dinner is more expensive, but you will not be disappointed.
This is my all time favorite Indian restaurant in the Bay Area (and I have tried alot). The food is delightful from the butter chicken to the korma to the palack paneer to the gulab jamun it is all wonderful with the korma being my favorite. They have a nice bar with with some really good specialty drinks. Service is generally pretty good. The only negatives that I can say is that it is a smallish restaurant, parking can be limited and was hard to find the first time (e.g. it's towards the back of strip mall) however this is not the fault of the restaurant. NOTE: We also really enjoyed the catering they did for a party I had awhile back...food was hot, fresh and very, very tasty.
Ever since my coworkers got me hooked on Indian food I had to try Amber India while in California. This place was elegant, the menu prices for dinner ranged anywhere from $12-$30. Definitely a hi-end Indian place. I tried the Three Mushroom Biryani which was rice bowl with an assortment of mushrooms with spiced basmati rice. It was full of flavor and not too spicy. As a side I ordered the Poori, it's a deep fried whole wheat bread. This was very different from any poori I had ever tasted before. It was fluffy, warm, and just delicious with my rice bowl. The service was a bit slow, especially since me & my friend were the only ones in the restaurant, but they were very polite and even helped me with pronouncing my order.
Too bad I was too late for the lunch buffet, that sounds like it could have been right up my alley! Al tho dinner was a bit pricey it was worth it!
Five years ago, I would have given this restaurant 5 stars. But since then, the food has continued to drop in quality while the prices continue to climb. Now I have to say that Ambers is over priced and the food is over rated. We went on Saturday and had Chicken Tikka Masala (normally my favorite) and Kadahi Paneer. Both were overcooked and the sauces were thick and tasted more like italian tomato sauce than indian food. The food has been consistently going downhill over the last few years, and after this experience I think we are finally done with Amber. We won't be going back.
Amber tries out some different things on the menu and also on the buffet, which I really appreciate. It's not as spicy as some buffets (which you may or may not like) but I think it's very easy to tell that they use quality ingredients. I like the fact that many dishes don't have little bones, which makes for more pleasant eating, IMHO. I don't go here as often as I would like to, simply because the wait can be 30 minutes, and during the lunch hour I just can't wait that long!
Every time my boyfriend and I go here, we're condescended to by the hostess, ignored by the waitstaff, and shocked by the prices on the menu -- yet we keep on coming back, which makes a pretty strong case for the delectable food at Amber Indian.
Probably the first thing that needs to be said about Amber is that they're in a strip mall. Despite (or perhaps because of?!) this, the three times the boyf and I have gone, we've been told there was a half hour plus wait -- even though the restaurant was filled with empty tables. Yet magically, the moment we apologized and said we were going somewhere else, a prime-location table somehow opened up. And it's not just the host: the servers are a bit prickly too. Last time we went, the restaurant was three quarters full, and staffed by a veritable ARMY of servers (all looking sharp'n'stuffy in matching suits), yet it took over forty minutes to get our entrees after our appetizers were cleared, and over half an hour (and about seven requests) to finally get our bill.
Look, Amber, you can be as snooty as you want, but at the end of the day, you're still in a strip mall next to a questionable massage parlor. Get with the program.
The food though, oh, the food makes up for most any slight. Every time I come here, I taste some new, transcendent delicacy so exquisite that I doubt whether, up until that moment, I had truly experienced food. You guys, this stuff is delish. My favorites: the delicate aloo tikki, artfully drizzled in a trio of subtle sauces; the frontier naan, generously studded with nuts and stuffed with an impossibly rich raisin paste; the lamb biryani, which kind of makes me want to go out and become a Mongol emperor.
Who knows? Maybe the snooty and inefficient staff is merely a hero's quest one must endure in order to get to this mind-blowing cuisine. But as you can see by my star rating, not even that drool-worthy frontier naan can totally erase the bad taste from my mouth.
Bottom line: Amber India's food is exquisite, but all of their pretentious airs end up doing the food a grievous disservice. Amber: Stop sniffling over your strip mall location, give all your waitstaff a handful of No*Doz, and, mmm, can I have a refill on my ridiculously delicious naan please?!
I am a spice-wimpy foodie. Does that mean I'm disqualified? Dunno...but I do know I enjoyed my meal at Amber India tonight and I'd like to go back to try more.
We had a party of 6 and the entire staff was very attentive and nice.
I had the Tandoori Seafood Platter for $27.95. On a platter with semi-sauteed onions, I got a lobster tail, 2 huge prawns, and 2 pieces of sea bass tikka (fish cubes marinated in lemon juice and spices). There was a mint-ish sauce and a tamarind sauce to go with the seafood. Very tasty meal along with some basmati rice and some of their garlic basil naan.
The Dum Aloo Bukhara sounded too good to pass up ($12.95). It's a vegetarian entree of Danish potatoes stuffed with mint and apricot chutney, cooked in a rich gravy. So we ordered one of these for the table and made it our appetizer, each getting one small potato with a bit of naan that came with it. It was scrumptious and I will order it again, this time all for myself. :)
One of my sisters got the butter chicken entree for $16.95. I tried a small bite and it was quite good. Something I'd like to try another time. It's tandoori chicken in a tomato, butter, and fenugreek sauce. I will have to look up "fenugreek" online to figure out what that is.
My brother-in-law tried a seafood curry, and he liked it. I can't vouch for it as I didn't taste it.
My daughter had the Handi Prawn Biryani, which is huge prawns with saffron flavored basmati rice ($17.95). They were very generous with the prawns. Even though we ordered extra mild, it was too spicy for my 9-yr-old, so I now have lunch for tomorrow. Yeah!
There were enough other items on the menu that tempted me, that I know I will be back. I'd like to try more and I'd like to re-order those potatoes with mint and chutney. Delish!
Amber India succeeded in convincing me I do like Indian food.
It's rare to find a combination of authentic Indian dishes and a very clean, romantic ambiance, but Amber India in Mt. View has both. It's kind of in a random location in a strip mall, but the inside is dimly light and very warm. It's modern but has many Indian accents in the decor.
Service is very knowledgeable, water is constantly refilled, waiters of polite, and food is served at a decent speed.
The menu has all the typical Indian dishes with some more American options like a Tandoori chicken salad. There's also a pretty good wine list, with glasses starting around $10. Prices are a bit higher, but the dishes are all made very well, and everything tastes refined. During lunch, they have a buffet, too.
For a good sampling of foods, the Amber dinner or the vegetarian dinner are good. You get saffron rice (not a very strong saffron taste.. also white in color), poori, a vegetable samosa, papadum, raita, dessert, coffee/tea, and 4 vegetarian dishes in the vegetarian dinner for $24.95. Usually, I get sick of a large dish of the same thing, so I enjoyed this a lot. The Baingan Bharta,was the least greasy I've had, while still having a lot of smoky flavor. The malai kofta was tangy and had a nice texture to it. The vegetable korma was super creamy, almost like an alfredo, but it was good. The lentils (dal) were also just the right amount of spiciness, though I'm not a huge fan of lentils. The portions aren't huge, but it's definitely enough to fill you.
We also got Malwani Shrimp, which was a coconut based curry. The spice flavor was heavy in the curry, but it was balanced out nicely with some of the tamarind sauce and the spicy green sauce. It was nice for dipping the Palak brocolli Roti, which is a whole wheat bread with brocolli and spinach in it. It's an interesting flavor in itself without dipping anything, and it's different from your typical Indian breads. Make sure you eat it while it's hot and fluffy, though.
The tandoori chicken salad is a nice lighter dish, and it actually doesn't need the dressing, since the golden raisins and smoked chicken add a lot of flavor and texture to the fresh dish. It's nice to have some more refreshing options for those watching their weight or wanting something lighter for the summer, even if they're not traditional Indian dishes.
We ended with a dessert of Rasmalai, which are farmer's cheese dumplings in the same sweet milky sauce as the kheer. The dumplings themselves have no flavor, but they absorb the creamy sweetness of the sauce. I think I still prefer kheer, though.
If you're looking for cheap and quick Indian food, there are other places to go; however, if you want a nice, slower paced meal with delicately balanced flavors and a softer ambiance, then you should definitely check out Amber India. I've heard the Mountain View location is more authentic, whereas the Santana Row location tries to cater more to a different crowd.
I've been to the Amber India in Santana Row and was greatly disappointed. Not until recently did I get the chance to taste the original rather than the copy. And what a difference does it make !
The food: I didn't know that such Indian cuisine existed, actually that's the best I ever tasted. It feels almost like French cooking but with Indian flavors obviously. The attention to the subtle balance of flavors is just outstanding. I've been there a few times and I've always been blown away. Now there's on dish in particular that one must try, their star dish in my opinion, and it is the butter chicken.
The location: nothing special, it's in an urban, next to a dentist. One wouldn't expect to find such a good restaurant in that location. The interior is decorated tastefully and feels comfortable. The atmosphere is quite classy without being snobbish.
The waiters: they're all very nice and efficient and they contribute to give an upscale feeling to the place.
The price: it's very affordable which is kind of surprising for this quality of food.
Yes people... the hype is real! Amber is really, really good.
I'll start by saying that I've had the lunch buffet a handful of times.... it's sooo good. I wish I had an extra stomach that I could open up for times like that!
I've also had takeout, and it was equally good. I really can't think of anything bad to say about amber... although it doesn't look all that appealing from the outside.. but what a gem inside!
amber india has the best indian food i've ever tasted. the prices are moderate (~$17 for a dish plus the cost of naan and rice). the service is great -- we never have to wait for water refills!
we lived nearby and often had takeout. takeout food is discounted 10% (plus you save on tip!).
Looks can be deceiving! The outside makes the restaurant looks small and meh, but the inside is beautiful. My bf and I went here on a "fancy" date and the lights were dim and candles were lit. Good place to get your romance on!
Pros:
-Deee-licious food! I don't know what I ordered, but the tandoori style lamb and chicken thingy was awesome! According to my bf, and he was born and raised in India, this food was pretty damn close to being authentic.
-Service was excellent.
-Indian beer was good. Yeah that's right. It was light and crisp.
Cons:
-Bit pricey. I may need to search for hole-in-the-wall Indian restaurant. Wait...do those even exist???
Bottom line: Haven't been here since, but I'd go here again for a "fancy" date. A general tip for eating Indian food: do not workout right after. It hurts like a bitch.
This is my favorite place for Indian food. The food is really topnotch. It's a little more pricy with $18 - 22 entrees, but the quality is really worth it. My two favorites are butter chicken and chicken masala. Naan is also to die for! The service is always outstanding. The waiters are helpful, timely, and accommodating. Great decor too!
I travel to India several times a year and have a feel for good East Indian food.
I have heard lots of good things about Amber India from people in the area. Decided to try it for lunch.
The food is good but not as good as I was expecting. It is much better than some of the small places on Castro street in Mt. View.
I came to this restaurant for lunch, around 1:40 PM as I Iove Indian food and I was thinking that the area should have plenty of good ones.
Well, this one does not below to the "plenty of good ones" list...
Anyway, I chose the usual lunch buffet and here we go:
The Bad:
It is priced at $13, not including a drink so it is more expensive than most other standard Indian lunch buffet but if the food was worth it, why not. Well, the food was not worth it.
Food was less than average, rice was overcooked, it became like Iranian rice, crispy. Choice of dishes was limited, sauces were running low to none and no one would even think to replace them. Service was not personal at all which can be good sometimes but with such average food, they could make a difference with excellent service. The restaurant look is simple but fine.
If the price was lower, it would get to the 2 stars. Charging $13 for this is really affecting the rating this restaurant should get.
The Good:
Hum.... let me think?
Nom nom nom - yummy! Fresh and delicious food. Good service. A little on the spendy side but the value is there. They offer a vast buffet which is above average. Nicely decorated and clean. Nice date place for Indian.
I have not yet mastered the art of ordering Indian dishes so I'm continually on the look out for a good Indian buffets where I can pile on the goods without really knowing what I'm eating. With that said, I enjoyed all of the choices at Amber India's lunch buffet...whatever they were.
Service was kind and speedy :)
