    Uber India is always delicious, the venue is lovely throughout, inside the main dining room, on the courtyard patio, and in their event rooms. The service is friendly and professional. All in all, it has been and remains one of our favorite restaurants for many years.

    The food is excellent and consistent. The only issue is that the service fee is 20% on top of 4% living expenses, for a total of 25% on top of published prices.

    Although we've been to dozens of other Indian buffets in the past, a recent Friday lunch visit to Amber was our first try of their "brunch buffet." The pluses for me were the broccoli pakora and the saag edamame. Both were very unusual and tasty variations of buffet regulars! However, the rest of the buffet didn't measure up. There weren't that many vegetarian items, the desserts were only okay (except for the stale burfi, which was not even okay), and their watery chai was definitely not worth the $5/cup extra. The restaurant was only half full but quite noisy, the tables were placed incredibly close together, and the $27.50 was way more than this buffet was worth.

    Great food as always. Monday night so I would expect quiet, but almost no one there. I hope that is not indicative.

    Great ambiance, tasty foods and nice overall experience. Outdoor seating was cool. The tables could have been a bit larger; it was a bit congested to keep all the foods and plates. They also did not reserve a 7 member table even if we booked for 7 person, instead fit 7 people in a already small 6 persons table.

    Not the food quality I expected for an expensive meal. The items were average at best. It has lost its touch.
