⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In all areas
I’ve been coming to Amber for over 13 years, and it remains one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. When I lived here, I was a regular, and even now, I make it a point to visit whenever I’m in town.
The ambience is inviting, the seating is comfortable, and the service is among the best I’ve experienced at any Indian restaurant. I’ve dined here countless times—whether for their daily buffet or à la carte dinners (at least 50+ times!)—and they have never missed the mark on taste or service. Whether dining solo, with a small group, or with a large party, my experience has always been exceptional.
As a vegetarian, I’ve tried nearly everything on their menu over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. But this time, they surprised me! Since I was dining alone, they introduced me to their Thali menu for dinner, which I didn’t even know existed. It’s a perfect option for solo diners—highly recommended! (See the menu attached.)
I ordered the Vegan/Gluten-Free Thali, and every dish was superb. The Kale Kofta Curry could have been better, but overall, the meal was excellent.
As always, the service was stellar. Amber SF remains a must-visit for me whenever I’m in the Bay Area. Looking forward to my next visit!
The samosas marked gluten free are not actually gluten free! Confirmed not GF by a cook at the restaurant after I ate them and got very sick. Please be careful if you have Celiac.
Best Indian food in the city! Gluten free options for my mom. Attentive service although it can be slow when very busy. If you like Indian food you need to try this place it’s very gourmet!
Amazing food and service. I have celiacs disease and the staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination (they have a dedicated fryer/oven). They have GF naan and 95% of the menu is gluten free. I felt very safe eating there, even went 2 days in a row. Cannot recommend enough.
We ordered the vegetable curry,. which was delicious! Because we couldn't have most of the appetizers because of cross contamination of gluten, I asked about the lamb samosas. The waiter was very thoughtful and suggested we get just the filling cooked in a pan without the wrapper that's always fried in the same oil as other breaded food. That's what they did for us, and it was still very tasty. He also brought some yogurt for us in case it was too hot! I also had a mango Lassi which was the best tasting one I've ever had . The owner was very knowledgeable about what we could and couldn't eat safety..
I love this place! The food is amazing and they have gluten-free naan! I have been here a couple of times and today I had the coconut vegetable curry which was everyone’s favorite! So so good 🥰
Best butter chicken I’ve ever had, waiters were so friendly, place and tables were clean and the food came in a reasonable time. Their Nan is amazing and they even have gluten-free options, and gluten free Nan which is amazing. The spice levels of the meals are indicated and you regulate them based on your preferences. Totally recommended!
I live close by and this is a constant staple for cheap, quick, family friendly - even diet friendly for paleo, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free people. I have no idea why other people say it is rude or a bad deal for the price. They must not live in the area. This is one of the cheapest most delicious places around! Open later than almost anything in the area.
Super delicious Indian food! This is my go-to for take out and dine in. They have lots of gluten free options and many of the fried items use chickpea batter and are fried in a designated fryer.
Don't know what we would do without Noori in the neighborhood. Good food, friendly service, and a nice selection of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options that are clearly labeled in the menu. We especially love the veggie pakora, palak paneer, and vegetable jalfrazi. We're getting hungry just thinking about it. Better put in an order!
Love the food here. They have calamari that is chickpea battered, so it’s gluten free! I can have calamari again :) they are so kind and accommodating, always checking in. It would be helpful to update their menu with GF and dairy labeling so people can know what they can eat! Rose on the table was a nice touch. Thank you!
