We always enjoy dinner at Amber. The food is very good and portions generous. This evening, we were disappointed they did not have our favorite lamb roganjosh,,,,maybe because they had two parties in auxiliary rooms. The main dining room was also very noisy because of a large party of 20-25 people. The restaurant might think about installing sound baffles.

My wife and I had a great experience. We had a fantastic lunch. My wife enjoyed her chicken tikka masala and my lamb varattu was fantastic. Next time we’ll probably get a vegetarian dish, either aloo gobi or vegetable jalfrezi. We’ll be back.

I specifically asked for my dish to be spicy multiple times. Not sure if the communication break down was but my dish was at best mild. Very disappointing…. Again. And on top of that they are very expensive.

I've been eating at Amber since the early 2000s when it was further down El Camino in Mountain View. Back then, it was the considered the best Indian restaurant in the area. Sadly, once they moved to the current location in Los Altos, it has gone considerably downhill. I suspect the Pandemic also had something to do with it as well. We ordered takeout from Amber once during the pandemic and it was not good at all. It still wins "Best Indian Food" awards by local media, but I find Passage to India, further down on El Camino on the same side of the street a far superior restaurant. Both a la carte dishes and lunch buffet is just better there. We had a party of 6 this past Sunday to celebrate my sister's birthday. We had a 12:30 reservation and were really surprised how few patrons there were. It did fill up by the time we left but the old location used to be packed for lunch buffet. The buffet selection was decent but every since dish was abnormally spicy. Service was unfortunately below standard. There was a baby shower going on in the other room which could have diverted resources but it was still an mediocre experience. The weekend buffet price of $27.99 is also just not worth it. 6 people with the automatically added gratuity and sales tax was $218. It used to be the pinnacle of "fine" Indian food dining. It's now just overpriced and average.
