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…

Fusion Indian
by Paul Singh at Citysearch
Good fusion (Americanized) Indian food, good cocktails, good ambience. On the pricey side, though...

Quality Indian Food
by Slyking at Citysearch
Good options for vegetarians. Definitely the better of the two Ambers in the bay area. Wait can be longish - so, be prepared

Terrible Service
by mariadesouza at Citysearch
My husband took me there for my birthday dinner after hearing some reviews. But it ruined a great day! The service was bad. Had to wait amid a crowd and were being passed up! maybe because we were Indians they just didnt care! The food was mediocre. Did not make up for the bad service. There are far better Indian restaurants in the bay area. Our favorite is Chef India in Pleasanton. So worth the drive!
- Pros: Cant think of any
- Cons: Service

Passable food. Disinterested service.

Good ambience. Very passable food. Disinterested service --
Maybe 10 years ago in the bay area, this place would have been unique.
Today there are soooo many excellent and cheap places in the south bay and peninsula that this place almost feels obsolete and lost in time.
Food is very passable for the money charged. Decent ambience. Blase service.
There are many cheaper and better Indian restaurants close by.
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: Simple food. Disinterested Servie.

Pleasantly Surprised
by spaink at Citysearch
I had been searching for a great Indian restaurant. I usually presume that the 'hole in the wall' places have the best food, yet when it came to Indian places, they were OK - average. When someone told me about Amber on Santana Row I thought I would give it a try. I expected it to be pricey and ok, yet I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent - next best thing to home cooking. The dinner prices were reasonable and definitely worth it. The service was impeccable. Lunch time buffet is the steal however. I highly recommend it.
- Pros: great parking nearby, clean, great price
