I love Indian food and have eaten at multiple Indian restaurants in the US and UK. That being said, this was possibly the best Indian meal I've ever had! I'm not exaggerating. My 16-year old son and I shared butter chicken and lamb biryani. They were both spectacular. We couldn't speak for much of the meal because we savoring every bite. We left stunned by how good it was. Our dinner at Amber India made for a superbly memorable evening in San Francisco. If you like Indian food and are in town, do not miss. You will not regret getting dinner or lunch there.

We had the SF restaurant week menu on a weekday evening. It was wonderful! Although the choices were modest all the food was really well done. The salmon tandoori was actually creamy and nicely spiced. The butter chicken was “butter chicken” but the kofta sauce made from several vegetables was very interesting and spicy the way we like it. A dessert of kulfi with berries was a real treat. We had ordered extra duck samosa appetizers thinking we might need a bit more food but they were not needed although excellent. I especially want to call out the bartenders and wait people who couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Great experience!
