Restaurant Amber - London

Absolutely fantastic, Amber is. Everything is spot on, the food, the atmosphere, the service. It is perfect and highly recommended.

We were a group of five at Amber. We ordered 4 chicken dishes and 1 vegetarian dish. After the food arrived, my girlfriend and I (who had ordered the same dish) noticed that we were served fish instead of chicken. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he adamantly denied it and said that the chicken had been grilled beforehand, which may have altered the taste. When I asked him to try the chicken meat (which was translucent and did not have the texture of meat), he said he didn't need to because it was chicken. Besides the fact that it smelled strongly of fish, I found this to be unprofessional.. very disappointing. The others at my table who also ordered chicken dishes did not experience this issue, and the comparison of their dishes confirmed it. I can recommend the naan bread and the ambiance, but I will not be returning to the restaurant as I expected at least some sort of acknowledgement, especially since I returned the dish almost untouched.

Delicious food, especially recommended is the ginger naan. Well-attended, friendly service but not pushy.

Situated in a new development just blocks from Aldgate East, Amber is a harbinger of the gentrification of Whitechapel.

Really delicious and thoughtful dishes Although simple, the pita bread was one of my favorites It was hot out of the oven and very soft.
