Aradhana PanickerJanuary 12, 2012Everything in this place is divine. Had portobello mushroom with paneer burji and kofta curry. Finished off with elaichi mango panna cotta - say wha??
Akshay JawharkarAugust 6, 2016Been going here for years and never had a single bad meal. Food is great and the ambience is very nice
Butter chicken is awesome and so is the 48hr rack of lamb. Always enjoy coming here!
Good food in the Santana Row area just be aware that service can be slow during rush hours...
Sashy RichmondNovember 6, 2011Order the buttered chicken and a mango lasi mmm and then across the street see a movie @ cinearts! It's great for a date!
Sima ParikhMarch 19, 2011The shitake mushroom kofta is awesome! It's not on the menu but you can ask the chef to make it in advance :)
Natasha GuerraFebruary 12, 2010This is a must try! Absolutely one of the best tasting Indian buffets I've had. AND they bring a whole basket of nan to the table!
Abhishek MathurFebruary 20, 2017Poor cousin of other Amber locations. Items in the buffet were cold, option of getting a dosa was not mentioned. There are so many other better options around.
- Natasha GuerraFebruary 12, 2010Favorite dishes from lunch buffet today: Navratan Korma and Tandoori Chicken.
It's overpriced for vegetarians. The number of vegetarian items on a buffet is very very limited.
sunil pNovember 4, 2012Long wait for mediocre overpriced food. Good ambience. Not coming back anytime soon.
