The Scene
Located in a bland strip shopping center along El Camino, Amber India also boasts a surprisingly pretty interior of authentic artwork and elegant serving pots and utensils.
The Food
If you're looking for fiery heat, Amber is not the place to visit; dishes reflect a balance and restraint seldom seen in northern Indian restaurants around here. Oh, the butter chicken: Tender chicken is marinated in yogurt, then roasted and ladled with a magical sauce of ginger, tomato, butter, cream, brown sugar, garlic, lemon, coriander and cumin. The chicken in question is the stand-out favorite, but the suave chicken korma and slow-burning lamb with peppercorn curry are nothing to sniff at.

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

I love this place, the food, ambiance and drinks are great. The food is tasty and the service is helpful. They even served my daughter something special Paani Puri that was not on the menu!The prices are reasonable , as long as you dont order a bottle of wine!

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!
