Food :- The food here is absolutely AMAZING! I would love to return here once again SIMPLY because of the food! Oh, what an amazing food experience it was! If you are a foodie then go to this place simply for the FOOD!
Ambiance :- The ambiance, however, is disappointingly not as good as the food. Very bad ambiance.
Service :- The service is amazing and staffs are incredibly polite.
Overall, a nice restaurant for having big meals and for filling your appetite.
Oh my my! What an experience. Somedays back I have visited Amber with my family for having a family lunch. This is a very reputed place located at Esplanade area serving food for years and years.
Coming to the food, the quality, quantity and taste of the food they served were simply astonishing and scrumptious. The ambience of the restaurant is also very nice and ideal for family aur formal gatherings. Now, a cherry on the top is the friendly behaviour of the stuff had made this place better than many other place. One should definitely check out this place.
This place just glows with nostalgia in my heart as this was the place from where my father used to order food. Love the food. Love the atmosphere most. Very very courteous staff. Golden Fried Prawn is a must try. Chilly Fish is spicy and Chicken Bharta is a classic. Definitely try this place out. A little bit costly. But that's the price u pay for the whole package. Cheers!!
Tried some of the dishes from this place at a office party. The packaging of the foods is very good.
✳️Fish Fingers
✳️Fish Orley
✳️Butter Naan
✳️Masala Kulcha
✳️Chicken Bharta
✳️Butter Chicken Masala
Each and every dish tasted pretty good.
I'm visiting this place since my childhood days as this is one of my father's favourite restaurant in Kolkata.
The foods they serve are simply amazing and the taste remains the same. The Chicken Tandoori they serve, is the best in the town. Fish and Chips, Chicken Bharta are equally good too. There is only one complain, the authority must look after to increase the quantity of food they serve.
We have ordered chicken tandoori from here
It was soo tasty and delicious and soo spicy
The ambiance is so good and hygiene best place to visit with your family and friends for dinner and lunch
Ohh!! What an ambience... Spent a great time with my best friend.... The quality of food is superb.. Nothing to say.... Just fabulous... I love the "Rogan jose".... 🐐
My favorite restaurant but just wanted to check on prices , as I went to amber restaurant on 9th august for dinner. The prices mention here and the prices they charged on particular items are different. just wanted to know Why?

Visited this place for dinner yesterday. This place is a must visit if you want authentic Indian food, cooked to perfection.
For starters we ordered the cheese balls and chilli chicken. The cheese balls weren’t very good. They were pretty oily and I wouldn’t recommend it. The chilli chicken on the other hand was delicious. Moist bits of chicken in a spicy gravy. It wasn’t cooked in your usual Chinese style and it was a nice change.
For main course we ordered butter naan, murg butter masala and Palak paneer. All three of these items are the best I’ve ever tasted! The Palak paneer was amazing. So delicious, I absolutely loved it. No oily. Just flavour.
The murg butter masala was delicious too.
The naans were perfect.
I couldn’t stop licking my fingers!
The staff are warm and friendly too.
For dessert we ordered pista ice cream and chocolate nut sundae. The deserts were pretty good too.
Overall, I love this place. The food is amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.
it has tge best panir butter masala in town and the naan is just soooo sooooooo good and the best is theirs fish liver gin it is the same since my childhood
Old Kolkata Charm and Food. Food Quality is truly Excellent. We had Chicken Soup , Malai Fish Kebab , Keema Nun , Chicken Bharta and Chicken Stroganoff.
My Staffs are very Courteous and Polite.
Old is gold. Consistent food and amazing service. I have been visiting this restaurant since I was a kid but they have kept up to their standards from almost past 35 years. A must visit restaurant in central KOLKATA.
One of the reputed and oldest restaurant of kolkata . I have been visiting this place since my childhood. the north indian food is great here. Biryani is a must try item here..
food - 4.5/5
ambiance - 4/5
This place has decent pocket pinch
Great place and the best thing about this place is their paneer butter masala. It’s super delicious, plus the cream of tomato soup is also very tasty and yum, altogether I had a great experience here.
Food is legendary! My family has been eating here since 1954, when it opened! We personally like the food at the esplanade outlet and not the park st. One. The decor is stuck in time, if youre in for that kind kf setting, its amazing. The service is really fast. The chicken chilli with bone is really unique, you must try it. They have a decent bar menu too !
Tried
Prawn Pakora
Maghaz Masala
Butter Naan
Chicken Chilli with Bone
Tandoori Chicken
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Ambience: 3/5
The most amazing Bheckty fry and grilled fish ! Any day my first choice ! Quick to serve too.. ordered fish on three consecutive days and found the quality and taste to be the same excellent every time!
The North Indian cuisine is also impeccable here. Not many usual punjabi places will offer a dal makhani as sublime as here ...
It is the best restaurants i ever dine on and provides the best experiance over all 9/10 for food and 10/10 for over all experiance one of the best family restaurant
Amber I visited twice time. I love the ambience and there food is amazing. Specially chicken murgh masalam, and chocolate mousse, kebabs ..shakes..
rdered Chicken Butter Masala from them tonight.
Taste was very good and thr portion size was big.
Chicken was soft and juicy also.
It’s a very old restaurant in Kolkata,
This place is an institution in itself.One of the first few fine dining restaurants of kolkata.Visiting this place since my childhood.The specialize in indian and north indian quisine.Been here last week after a long gap due to a busy work life schedule.Had ordered mutton boti kabab,chikn malai kabab and Hariyali paneer for starter.All were awesome.For the main course we had mutton rogan josh ,chikn bharta and butter nan.The butter nan was one of the best naans i ever had.It was soft and melt in the mouth.The mutton was really great and was falling off the bone easily.For dessert we had blueberry cheesecake which was average.So overall it was good.The service was good.Thumbs up.
Service was pretty good and food was extraordinary the chicken was well cooked and nicely presented .I had ordered crispy chilly babycorn and chicken tandoori for starters, then for the main course I had ordered chicken bharta, dry chole and one butter naan.The naan was very soft. A very enjoyable experience thanks to good food and great company ☺
It’s a very old restaurant in Kolkata which still continues there quality. Very famous name. People like to go there so many times. For me it’s a double celebration place. There food is really good and authentic and tasty. Enjoyable. Recommended for everyone.
A childhood favourite, have loved Amber for the last 30 years. Absolutely lovely ambience and delectable food especially the golden fried prawn, the chicken bharta, the bhetki fry. The only aspect I disliked are some of the relics of the past like the guy in the bathroom handing tissues and asking for tips
Had kulcha and chicket butter masala. The prices were quite reasonable and the taste was awesome. The kulcha was so tasty that it can eaten without any side dishes. just loved the food.
Excellent customer service and food. Fish worly, paneer tandoori and tandoori chicken were great. We ordered vat69 and service was great. Good food and great whiskey. A must go.

Though the famous Shammi kebab is their greatest contribution to the culinary world this legendary restaurant of Kolkata can claim its fame for its mutton bara kebab (Gosht Peshawari Bada - as they call it) as well. Never had any mutton kebab so soft and succulent. Don’t know whether it was the marination or some other special technique but definitely it is the smoothest mutton kebab we ever had. Only negative side is one portion is too small...even not sufficient for someone with a large appetite and thereby a bit pricy if compared to the amount(₹320 for 4 pieces ). But still I would say that it ‘s must try.
The next was their famous Moti biriyani.The motis (tiny balls made of minced mutton mixed with some smashed lentils and are scattered generously in the rice) were spicy and complementing the subtle flavour of the rice. It was the authentic Kolkata biriyani type served in another Biriyani legend of Kolkata“ Royal”. The balanced flavour of ghee and cardamom makes it different from its fast food counterpart served in any biriyani junction. The moistness, the subtle balance of spices and the light texture make this class apart from the artificially flavoured and coloured varieties now available anywhere in the city.
An old place of Kolkata with old flavours. The best part of the restaurant is their staffs, courteous and well behaved. Food quality is pretty good and the taste too. However, they have increased their prices quite a bit in recent days. The staffs at take away counter are equally good. However, I feel the take away counter needs to be improved. It should add more space or it should relocate somewhere inside the restaurant.
Awesome food. May be one of the best in town. Yummiest may be. If any one have really good food with there family this is the place. That too with effective price. And a really attentive service. But one star less because there's a lot of scope to improve especially in ambience as compare to upcoming restaurants around the town.
The food quality and the taste is incredible. The ambience and the behaviour of the staff was also very good. Very much satisfied coming here and i recommend everyone to visit this restaurant once.
When you think about some Kolkata 'Classic' Restaurants... Amber is the place to be. Since it's naissance it has maintained its charm and stuck to it's authenticity. On a Sunday rainy afternoon we chose to step in, I started with my fav Cheese 🍒 🍍... Gradually 🎏 Finger which was a Bekti Delight and it melted inside the mouth without much time, Chicken Masala Kabab which was nice... Peas Pulao & Mutton Shahi Korma was good. We opted for Conti and ordered Chicken Onion Steak which was fab in taste with a heavenly stuffing, Chicken Stroganoff with rice was just perfect with the sauce. Chicken Ala Amber was a hit with its unique brown sauce rice and 🐔 combo. The mango mousse was a nice dessert to end with. But... one thing I disliked is the solicitation for TIPS. Starting from the door man, lift man and most ridiculous 2 aged men inside the small Gents washroom they were just a bit irritating... It's a must place to visit except the washroom ;-)
Amber the restaurant I've been visiting since my childhood days.My Grandpa's all time favorite which turned into ours too.
The food is excellent and tastes same over the years.The Pindi Chana is perfect in taste and nothing comes close to it.The ambience is good and the staff are cordial.
A Perfect Place to dine with family.
One of the oldest food joints in the area. The fish liver gin is a must try with tartar sauce. Best in the city. Overall food is pretty good but quite pricey.
A very nice family restaurant amidst the busy lanes of Esplanade!
Good food, great ambience, courteous staff.. What more can someone ask for?
Yes, they also serve alcohol with complementary chakhnas 😉
Pocket pinch slightly on the higher side but is worth it..

Its a family tradition!!!!Not that much but starting from my grandpa to my father to me and the rest is geography 😜 ...... Now it's located in a busy lane in Esplanade. Then comes the party of being friendly because that starts as soon as you step into the place the staff greet you very warmly but becareful not to get yourself roasted🍗 The liftman is absolutely friendly and he'll surely burst the laughter out of you. Ambiance is pretty prestigious like other quality resturants have but hehe now the big...bigger.... biggest part.. the food . Basically all the items do not have unique touch but there are good which are to makeup the uniqueness-YES I'm talking about the sizzler, chicken/veg Outgratin , and Fishliverzin(a unique fish dish baked in touch but and served hot with healthy butter fried veggies),Moti Biriyani and ofcourse a glass of refreshing pineapple blossom. It's a great place to chill with your family as I always do!!!!!....thank you😉

This place was my childhood favourite and I used to visit all the time. Although I visit it less now but recently I had a great time there. The food was promptly served and delicious ! The Mutton was succulent and the Biriyani was divine. This place is a must try !
Order was Garlic Nan, Kulcha, Dal Makhani and Chana Masala. The breads were great as always, but Dal Makhani lacked the taste and not as per Amber standards. The complimentary vinegar onion was an added bonus. Overall it was good.
It was in my wish list since my school days. Today finally got the chance to step in here. Ambience wise great. We ordered chilly chicken as starter and for main course chicken biryani and murgh tikka masala. Until I tasted the tikka masala my experience was average. The chicken gravy preparation amazed me. The biryani contained two pieces of potatoes and two medium pieces of chicken.
The best one... They have the premium quality food. great dessert options. Yes but the prices are slight high. The atmosphere is great also.
One of the legendary old multicuisine and bar family restaurant in Kolkata.
It is in Waterloo Street.
Food Specially Indian and continental food is really good.
The restaurant is costly.
Fish liver gin, classic fish fry strongly recommended.
Good Vibes & Good Food! Must try Baked Fish here.
One of Kolkata's most renowned bar-cuisine establishments. The restaurant still has the essence of an old place. One of the best places for a nice family dinner. The ambience is very good and the quality of food is also very well maintained along the years. When you come here, you can eat whatever you want, but you must eat fish Orly. The vegetarian options are delicious as well. They provide quite standard service. You must have vivid memories of the entire evening.
Provides Quality, yummy good food, beautiful ambience, one of the oldest restaurant with good service and amazing food. The staffs are well behaved. Family restaurant and bar. I really liked it. U can park vehicle nearby as it is but crowded.
I recently dined at AMBER restaurant, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The ambience exuded a sense of history, and the traditional decor added to the charm. The menu offered a wide array of classic North Indian dishes, and the flavors were authentic and delicious. The service was warm and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of North Indian cuisine with a touch of nostalgia.
Very nice restaurant. We ate Tandoori chicken, Ambar special Biryani with chicken kasa, Butter naan with chicken varta and sweet lime with soda with great pleasure.
Aesthetically it was very nice.
Food is very nice. Try chicken kabab with extra cheese.
The workers sometimes forget, what they have served you so always remember what you have ordered (Else you have to pay an extra amount).
The restaurant's service is very good. People there are so friendly and nice. The only problem is the quantity. The quantity is really less. I mean it can be only for a single person. The Veg Au gratin was not that good. It was really bland. The paneer tikka masala tasted pretty average and also very less quantity. The chappatis were well cooked and the place has very beautiful lighting which will make you calm and composed. It is also a bar. So you can order any type of drink you want. You can take cake from outside and the people there will help you in every manner they can do to make your birthday special.
Update in 2023: It's been a downward journey for the restaurant since my last visit in 2019. Went back in July 2023, and the food served are not just tasteless, but stale and stinky too! They now serve the same curries for different dishes, example, we ordered for Mutton Roganjosh and Mutton Surk Kofta and curries of both the dishes were just the same. Very very bad food overall. Nowhere else would you get such overly spiced, half-cooked, and stale meat as you would get here. Worst food experiences ever in Calcutta would sum up my experience perfectly.
Amazing food. Good hospitality and quick service.
Food is very good, especially the Fish Fry and the tartar sauce they serve. One of the finest in Calcutta. The Tutti Fruity at the end was icing on the top. Highly recommended.
One of Kolkatas first Mughalai cuisine restaurants,the foods still as good as yesteryear the ambience thought comfortable lacks the vibe it used to carry on its prime but that won't leave you with much to complain about because you'll be there primarily for the food and less for ambience!
One of the oldest restaurants of Esplanade area.Still kema naan , chicken bharta &mutton do piyaza taste is same & heavenly.
This place has been there for over 60 years now and it still maintains the old charm of the city of Kolkata. They have kept the old vibes alive. The food quality has been maintained over time. Good place for families.

A time travel restaurant with food not living upto its name.
Thumbs up - A great restaurant with interiors which will take u back to 90s and honestly its really refreshing to see such a classic fine dining restaurant of the 80s & 90s or probably dates back even before. I really liked the the way the staff were dressed. Coming to the food we had ordered the Hara bhara seekh kebab and Tomato Soup for starters. Soup was ok but kebab was superb. It was full of flavors and the taste was very old school. It felt like the ingredients and recipe hasnt changed even a bit since its inception. For main we went for Kabuli Nan, Masala Kulcha and Butter Nan along with Dal makhani, Paneer tikka butter masala and Veg fried rice. Honestly the breads were so good that u can have it alone with pickle and onions, u dont need any other sides with it. It was fluffy and sweet and baked to perfection. Probably the most fluffiest Nans ive ever had. Dal, Dry Pindi chana and Paneer was ok not that great. Rice was really good and it was good to see vinegar onions served on the table. These days ull hardly find vinegar onions being served on the table.
Thumbs Down - Both dal and sabzi were a let down honestly. Many new restaurants are serving better Dal and Paneer than this. This actually spoilt my mood as i had heard about this place to serve really good food. However i even felt that the non veg and other kebab items shouldve been great as hara bhara kebab was delicious.
All in all it was a pleasant experience however i do need to visit again specially only for Non veg. Hoping that to be really good. Also i noticed one thing that people visit it with their clients so it seemed to be more of a business lunch / dinner place.
Price for 2 - 1000 excluding drinks
4/5*
P.S - Serves alcohol.
