Good options for vegetarians. Definitely the better of the two Ambers in the bay area. Wait can be longish - so, be prepared

This place was within walking distance to the hotel I was staying at. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. The server was very good at suggesting dishes and was right on top of the water supply:-) I like spicy food, but this was a little over the top for me. I know it was authentic Indian because of that. The spice enhanced the flavor of the food, not just drowned it out. Well worth the money!

My husband took me there for my birthday dinner after hearing some reviews. But it ruined a great day! The service was bad. Had to wait amid a crowd and were being passed up! maybe because we were Indians they just didnt care! The food was mediocre. Did not make up for the bad service. There are far better Indian restaurants in the bay area. Our favorite is Chef India in Pleasanton. So worth the drive! Pros: Cant think of any Cons: Service

Good ambience. Very passable food. Disinterested service -- Maybe 10 years ago in the bay area, this place would have been unique. Today there are soooo many excellent and cheap places in the south bay and peninsula that this place almost feels obsolete and lost in time. Food is very passable for the money charged. Decent ambience. Blase service. There are many cheaper and better Indian restaurants close by. Pros: Ambience Cons: Simple food. Disinterested Servie.

The food is excellent with mild and spicy selections. On weekdays there is a great buffet for lunch. There is often a wait for a table on weekends, so you may want to order to go. Kids love the incredibly rich butter chicken and Lassi (Mango or Strawberry). My favorite is Mutter Paneer (vegetarian). PROS: Wild variety of selection on the menu CONS: Not cheap

I had been searching for a great Indian restaurant. I usually presume that the 'hole in the wall' places have the best food, yet when it came to Indian places, they were OK - average. When someone told me about Amber on Santana Row I thought I would give it a try. I expected it to be pricey and ok, yet I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent - next best thing to home cooking. The dinner prices were reasonable and definitely worth it. The service was impeccable. Lunch time buffet is the steal however. I highly recommend it. Pros: great parking nearby, clean, great price

My non-indian friends love this place too. Not very spicy food and portions are just right. Staff is friendly and service is efficient. I would definitely recommend this place to all.
