Editorial Review for Amber India – by Patrick Heig

The formality of Amber India's polished, multi-tiered, museum-like space of Amber India belies a menu of exotic-but-accessible, pan-Indian cuisine served a la carte or in an all-you-can-eat format. Off the menu come the house specialties (pan fried yogurt and chili-spiced duck skewers, lobster tails marinated in red chili vinegar) that make Amber a critic's favorite, while the buffet's elegant copper vessels are filled with the makings of a food coma: basmati rice, tandoori chicken and tikka masala. Both the spacious bar and the restaurant overlook Yerba Buena Lane at street level, which makes for great people watching, and given Amber's elegant museum-esque interior, plenty of people watching you.

Parking

The garage on 5th and Mission is closer, but the garages at Union Square and Stockton/Sutter are much cheaper.

The decor is eye catching. The food was spicy and perfect. The service is friendly, and the bar is engaging, and the bartenders are very helpful and fun. Go there!! Couldn't be a better spot for happy hour for Indian or just happy hour. Perfectly snuggled in the middle of the city. Kudos!!

Pros: Food. Drinks Great Service. Bartenders are fun

Cons: Not really a negative thinker
