Editorial Review for Ambar India – by Carrie Clark
The Scene
The atmosphere is casual with surprising high-end touches like chandeliers and white tablecloths. A steady stream of Indian clientele all but verify the delicious authenticity of the fragrant dishes. The menu is full of vegetarian items (even vegans have plenty of choices) as well as a long list of meat dishes. Vegetable samosas are a filling appetizer, while popular entrees include chicken tikka saag (chicken cooked with spinach, cream and tomato sauce) and other spicy curries.

I hate this place. I will never go back again. First of all, it's insanely overpriced. It probably costs them $1 to make chicken and they charge 14.95. There usually isn't even enough to take home as leftovers. And you can tell they put food coloring in it to make it look pretty. I had their Papadi chaat which was basically yogurt on a plate, which I'm pretty sure was going bad. I also had the worst waitress I have ever had. She did not say Hi or hello, instead she asked me "What do you want?" Which is rude and inconsiderate. When I told her that my food is not good, she argued with me. I don't know what their problem is, but Ambar India needs to reconsider their service. They treat Indian people worse than any of their other customers, which I have experienced more than once at this restaurant. Please don't go here, especially if you are Indian, they are going to treat you very badly.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My friends and I go all the time and we love the experience (the whole experience.) I have yet to have a bad waitress. Then again, you usually get back the same attitude as you give. I would expect that they have to rush a little and turn over tables quick because it is such a small place. Every time I go, there is a well deserved wait. I love the food. Nothing comes close to it. I don't even mind parking on a side street and walking a little becasue it adds to the ambiance. I love to window shop and meet area people.
Pros: Everything
Cons: a tad expensive (but well worth it)
