    I love Indian food and have eaten at multiple Indian restaurants in the US and UK. That being said, this was possibly the best Indian meal I've ever had! I'm not exaggerating. My 16-year old son and I shared butter chicken and lamb biryani. They were both spectacular. We couldn't speak for much of the meal because we savoring every bite. We left stunned by how good it was. Our dinner at Amber India made for a superbly memorable evening in San Francisco. If you like Indian food and are in town, do not miss. You will not regret getting dinner or lunch there.

    I had arranged a business meeting for dinner. The restaurant decor and ambience was very conducive to a productive discussion. It was a bit loud, but that had no real impact. We were very happy with the selection and quality of the food and drink.

    Always a great time to come and have dinner here. Brought some work colleagues and everyone was very very impressed with the flavors in the food. Tried a couple of new things this time round and the Strett Park Cauliflower and the Citrus Sea Bass did not disappoint! Great service, good drinks. Brilliant.

    We have dined at this establishment a handful of times. It’s always a pleasure. On our most recent date, they were out of the salmon and our waitstaff suggested another dish. It was a wonderful chicken curry dish. It made me forget what I originally wanted. Nevertheless, if it’s your first time, get the butter chicken.
