It’s about the journey, not the destination. That’s why we took our name from the Amber Road trade route. It reflects everything that makes us special – from our eastern mediterranean roots, to our modern London spirit.

A place where all are welcome.

Buzzing yet intimate Restaurant with great service and top quality Italian food - the lamb croquettes are a must... exceptional!!! Wine list is more than adequate and perfect for the menu and also reasonably priced. This place is a little gem of a restaurant and ideal for a business lunch, social or for a larger party. Food is presented well and service is swift and attentive. Would recommend and will be coming back.

We were staying in a hotel nearby, and Yaz looked interesting for dinner. The staff were very welcoming, and helpful. The food was just great - especially delicious kebabs. Hope it won't be too long before we see you again.
