Reviews
Amber is a standout in Middle Eastern dining—definitely not your typical spot! As someone familiar with countless Middle Eastern restaurants, I was genuinely impressed by the modern twist they bring to traditional dishes. The atmosphere is stylish and contemporary, which reflects in the beautifully balanced menu. The freshness of the ingredients shines through in every bite. We tried the meatballs with yogurt, which were delicious, but the star of the meal was the pita lamb shoulder sandwich. The lamb was incredibly tender, and the pita itself was probably the best I’ve ever had. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Amber and can’t wait to return to explore more of their innovative dishes! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fresh take on Middle Eastern cuisine.
My friend and I were on the hunt for a nice spot to catch up, and since she’s vegetarian, we figured Amber would be a great choice—and it totally was! Even though we showed up 30 minutes early (classic us), the team greeted us warmly and got us seated right away. The vibe of the place? So cozy. Loved the wooden furniture, plants everywhere, and the open kitchen giving off all the right energy. It was a long-overdue catch-up session, so shoutout to the team for being super patient with us as we took our sweet time to order. We kicked things off with a great bottle of wine and ordered a bunch of dishes to share. One thing we loved was how the food arrived as it was ready—none of that overwhelming table-juggling. It gave us space to enjoy each dish properly. Speaking of food, we tried the bread basket, hummus gnocchi, crawling flower, torched sea bream, prawns in garlic oil, grilled courgettes, and smoked potatoes. Every single thing was chef’s kiss delicious. The service? Absolutely top-notch. They really made it the perfect girls’ night out. Highly recommend Amber—it’s a gem!
We had a fantastic meal at Amber. All the dishes were very good. The burnt butter was a favourite as many comments mention. But I think the prawns are an even superior dish. The flavour of the oil with the bits of prawn shell and spice are incredible. We loved the dish so much that we ordered a second serving. The cauliflower was another excellent dish and we also ordered another serving of it. Lamb and potatoes were very tasty. We were not impressed by the broccoli and cauliflower heads. It was the least favourite dish of the meal. It was bland. Desserts were another hit with the pumpkin sead ice cream taking the crown. Such an unusual and unexpected flavour. Loved the flavour but also the extremely rich and creamy texture. Loved it. The service was outstanding. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and could explain the dishes in detail. I extremely appreciated the honesty when talking about dishes and mentioning what was good or not in their opinion.
Very pretty and low-lit atmosphere. Middle eastern cuisine, and it was superb. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London. The cauliflower had a great sauce and crispness, my eggplant was really good despite my hesitation, and the flavors were super unique!! Would totally go back, not expensive considering how good it was.
