    Everything was great! The noise level in the dining room was way too much for me … I have trouble hearing in a noisy room…but they were kind enough to seat us in the back room which was lovely and quiet.

    I've eaten at a couple of the Amber India restaurants and the food is always enjoyable. The menu is different at each location so something to be aware of. The vegan options are decent enough. The prices seem to have increased significantly since I last visited (a year ago) which made for a more expensive meal than I was expecting and less value.

    Amber India is a great option for Quality Indian food in downtown San Francisco. It is ideal for family outings and also for business meetings. Some of the tables / seating arrangement can be a be uncomfortable if you are too tall or short. The food quality is great, but in general, it is slightly on the expensive side, probably due to the location. When the restaurant gets full (and it does), the noise levels may go up. But definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for Indian food in downtown San Francisco.
