" The service at Amber India was wonderful, very friendly and attentive. However, the food didn't quite match up to my expectations. I tried the chicken korma and found it a bit too creamy and lacking spices. The ambiance is nice for dining; it's spacious and well-decorated. Overall, I think they have potential, but they need to pay more attention to the dish execution. If you want to impress your guests, perhaps look elsewhere; I've had better meals at other Indian restaurants. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my colleagues to Amber India for a work outing, and we were all impressed by the ambience. It's spacious enough to host large groups comfortably. The service was decent, but the wait for our food was a bit long. When the dishes finally arrived, the lamb vindaloo didn’t live up to the hype. While it was spicy, the flavor was lacking compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve visited. I enjoyed the atmosphere but would consider other options for the food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Amber India for a birthday celebration, and the experience was fantastic! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere was lively yet cozy. We started with the tandoori chicken, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. For the main course, I had the butter chicken along with garlic naan. The butter chicken was creamy and had the right amount of spices. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a delightful evening that I highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amber India has a reputation for its authentic Indian cuisine and did not disappoint! I had the tandoori salmon and it was exquisite, succulent and cooked to perfection. The restaurant has a vibrant atmosphere, making it perfect for gatherings with family or friends. I appreciate the variety of both vegetarian and meat choices, something that caters to all preferences. I can't recommend the palak paneer enough; it was heavenly. I am definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an absolutely delightful experience at Amber India! The menu had plenty of options for vegetarians, which I loved. The paneer dishes are a must-try! The ambiance is lovely, with vibrant decor and a welcoming atmosphere. Although the service was a bit slow initially, the staff remained courteous and attentive throughout our meal. They even surprised us with complimentary drinks for being first-time visitors—a lovely touch that made our evening extra special. I would definitely come back to explore more of their menu!

" During my visit to Amber India, I was quite impressed by the overall decor and ambiance. It felt elegant yet not overly formal. However, I did find that the food was spotty. While some dishes such as the paneer tikka were excellent, others like the chicken biryani lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The service was attentive but not too pushy, which was appreciated. I'd suggest others try it out for themselves; perhaps our experience was just an off day for the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance was fantastic with a lovely outdoor seating area, the food left much to be desired. I tried a few dishes, including the chicken tikka masala and the biryani, but honestly, they tasted quite bland. I was expecting more flavors, especially for the price. The service was okay, but I felt like we were overlooked a bit despite being seated promptly. I might consider coming back to give it another chance, but my recent experience was a bit disappointing.
