Amma, the name means "Mother", is an intimate restaurant and has the same soothing qualities. Opened in 2002 by Anju Sharma, is a gem tucked away on the upper east side of Manhattan, the stylish restaurant evokes images of spices, with its ochre colored walls and sensuous red-orange suede wrap-around banquettes. Art deco chandeliers and pristine linens complete the ambience. In a short period of time, Amma has received numerous accolades from the press. Amma was rated "Two Stars" by Mr. William Grimes of NY Times. At Amma, the wine list is updated on a weekly basis and is carefully chosen from 30 countries from around the world. Amma, shows its guest a different India, so old that it is fresh.

Amma is still very good but it used to be better. The meats -- even chicken -- tend to be a bit tough. Butter chicken was dry. Breads are good.

The restaurant offers attentive service and refined Indian cuisine in a quiet, intimate setting. Our dinner arrived quickly and tasted freshly prepared, with deep and complex flavors. A couple of tables around us appeared to be having relaxed business dinners.
