Atmosphere
Atmosphere
The Amber Indian is
not the place to visit for ambiance, lovely table linens, or a fancy night out.
You will enjoy the food and the service, but do not expect to walk into this
restaurant situated in a Carmel strip mall and be overwhelmed by ambiance.
Service
The
service was friendly, speedy, and made the dining experience a pleasurable one.
The wait staff and manager seem to understand the fine line between making sure
a customer has what they require to enjoy the meal and standing at the table
every 5 minutes and interrupting the evening. Overall, the staff was exactly
what I hope for when I dine out.
Food/Drinks
My dining companion
and I came for dinner, and therefore ordered off the traditional menu rather
than sampling the lunch time buffet. I prefer to go to Indian restaurants for
the lunch buffet, because I enjoy sampling as many dishes as I can, but our
meal was wonderful. I ordered the Aloo Gobhi, which is a dry dish made
with potatoes, cauliflower and Indian spices. It is yellowish in color, due to the use
of turmeric, and occasionally
contains kalonji and curry
leaves.
I chose to accompany this dish with basmati rice and garlic naan. The flavors
blended together well, and the dish had exactly the amount of spice I was
looking for (I ordered mine with medium spice). The food was warm at the table,
cooked well, and presented nicely. I had no complaints about the food and would
happily eat there again.
Overview
Overall
I enjoyed my trip to Amber Indian and would happily return, maybe next time to
sample the lunch buffet. The food and atmosphere may seem simple in
presentation but combined with the outstanding wait staff and the flavors of
the dishes served, this restaurant is a new favorite.
