I didn't even check yelp before going to Amber. I was staying in one of the local hotels and popped on google to see what restaurants were nearby. I was tired after a long day and a lot of driving and randomly decided on Indian.
Boy was that a great choice! The dinner atmosphere was perfect, quiet, dim, and totally relaxing - just what I needed :) . The guys were incredibly polite. The food was superb and the quantities were massive compared to what I was expecting! The leftovers were great the next day and saved me from having to go out again the next day.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Amber is a fine Indian restaurant in the Carmel area.
It's located in a strip mall so it's not a terribly upscale kind of place to sit down for a meal, but then again, I always go the carryout route.
I've had a few of their Tandoori offerings as well as some of their vegetable dishes. Everything has been great on each occasion, no matter what I've brought home.
I like how both Naan and Basmati Rice is included with all of the vegetable (and meat, I would assume as well) dishes. But what really sets Amber apart in my mind is how they prepare their Tandoori Fish and Chicken dishes -- the meat is roasted with onions and peppers, rather than the vegetables being added to the dish raw after the fact. It really makes a delicious diffference.
Call-in orders are always prepared properly and on time as well.
Great Indian restaurant.... I'll be back!
