It’s about the journey, not the destination. That’s why we took our name from the Amber Road trade route. It reflects everything that makes us special – from our eastern mediterranean roots, to our modern London spirit. It inspired us to channel the flavours of our travels abroad and our heritage into one dining experience. A space where stories exchange hands as freely as the wine flows. This is Amber. A place where all are welcome.

Probably one of the best restaurants I’ve been to for a while - although I do wish the service was more attentive. That would have made the whole experience outstanding. The food was faultless. Thank you to the chef and team!
