Reviews for Amber India in San Jose, CA
We went for their weekend buffet with high expectations. The spread was good with a variety of vegetarian options as well. But... the quality was average. Their a la carte food is more innovate and fresh. Sadly the buffet was just a regular one. It will costyou about 30/person and you are probably better off at a run of the mill $10 buffet place. What shocked me was the service.I've been to the Santana Row Amber a few times in the past, and the service has gradually degraded. One of the waiters sulkedand sighed when we asked for garlic naan. He just assumed we would have the regular one and when we expressed our choice he wasclearly dissatisfied. Shouldn't you be asking first? This is not the Amber I know. Anyways, avoid the buffet.

Four of us came her on Friday night. The food when finally arrived after a significant and noticeable delay was delicious but a... bit cold. What saved us from starving was the crispy this bread which was salty as hell. My favorite of the dishes were theNimbu Chicken appetizier which I had with Naan. I alsoreally like the sauce that srounded the Nutty Egg Plant dish. Rest ofthe stew dishes were too spicy to a point where it was hard to taste flavors. We also order rice which was a good combo withthe stew dishes. Overall the service was too slow for a return visit. Read more
We were here for dinner with my friends. We ordered Madeas spiced curry prawns, Karavalli prawns, cilantro garlic naan and... butter chicken. Nice and tasty and everyone enjoyed the food Read more
Taste is authentic and service is professional. Very nicely prepared food that taste like its been done by real chefs with lots... of hard work. I've been returning a couple times in the past 7 years and their menu is pretty consistent. Recommending thechicken biriyani (bomb yogurt sauce), nimbu chicken, and garlic naan. Read more
A traditional Indian taste after a long time. I throughly enjoyed the chicken tandoori. The meat had the right amount of spice... and tenderly cooked. Also the fried prawns were extremely cooked. The butter chicken was my favorite. I have tried in manyrestaurants and it was very creamy and not well cooked but in Amber,every aspect of butter chicken was awesome and the chickenwas well cooked in the curry. Read more
One of the great authentic Indian places in the Bay Area . Everything served here is of the highest quality and adheres to... authenticity and freshness Our favorite is their afternoon lunch buffet , the Santa Row location currently has Friday andweekend buffet and the Los Altos location has sat/sun buffet I would eat the buffet only for the endless goat curry andnaan The butter chicken and naan or butter chicken and rice is out of this world , again worth the price of the buffet for thisalone The vegetarian entrees are spectacular, saag dishes are great , panned dishes are excellent In general sauces are richand flavorful and mildly spicy Excellent place for a celebration or conversation Read more

Okayish place for dinner, not up to the mark for the location that it is in. Drinks are not that great, curries are decent.... Also, we got a dirty fork and knife wrapped inside our napkin, totally unacceptable. Read more
