Lamb, mackerel and duck were excellent. Zucchini flowers okay. Wine expensive. Quiet at 6 but hard to hear across the table by 7.

Food was amazing and the place has a great modern vibe. The Nori tacos was the standout dish. We also loved the flavouring they put on their edamame beans. A great selection of cocktails and the ones listed on the actual food menu are cheaper than other restaurants.

Fabulous dinner on Easter Sunday at Amara. Delicious food especially the dosai, happy friendly staff and pleasant decor. The Sunday manager was great, we appreciated his chat with us and his excellent service and attention to detail - he deserves a pay raise! We thoroughly enjoyed our authentic meal.

The steak, spatchcock and octopus was well cooked and beautifully flavoured and balanced with all the ingredients on the plate. To add to the delight was how well the vegetables were cooked and flavoured.
