" I went for a quick lunch and found Amber India to be a decent option. The buffet looked appealing but I decided to order a la carte. The chicken tikka was okay but didn't stand out compared to many others I've had in the area. The décor is inviting and bright, which I appreciated. I think I would return but I might try something different next time to see if that would be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment is the word I would use to describe my experience at Amber India. The food was mediocre at best, especially for the price point. I had chicken curry, which was underseasoned and bland. The service was average and the ambiance seemed forced rather than cozy. I had high hopes due to some recommendations, but I left feeling let down. I might think twice about returning, especially with so many other choices in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amber India has improved so much over the past few years! I remember visiting when they first opened and was not very impressed. However, now they have a delightful selection of dishes that make it worthwhile to go again. The staff is friendly, and they know their menu well, which helps when deciding what to order. I usually go with friends, and we always share several appetizers, which are a fun way to try different flavors. Highly recommend the chaat options; they’re delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing much about Amber India, I finally went there with my family and was looking forward to an enjoyable meal. The interior was impressive, and the seating arrangements were spacious. However, when the food arrived, I felt that some dishes were too greasy and lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. Although they did have a good selection of vegetarian options, I was disappointed in the lack of attention to the details that make Indian food truly special. I’d give them another shot, but I hope the flavors improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Amber India was a recommendation from an Indian friend, and I was blown away! The butter chicken was out of this world. The richness of the sauce made each bite delightful. The naan was fresh and addictive! The atmosphere was sophisticated yet inviting, perfect for special occasions. My friends and I loved the experience and are already planning our next visit. Though it can get pricey, the quality definitely justifies the cost. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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. " (*Curated Review*)
