Amber Restaurant in Tower Hamlets

I came to Amber for my late lunch so the restaurant was not busy. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The food was also delicious.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Food was good, the burnt butter and the atom especially well made, superbly balanced. The sea breem and lamb shoulder however was just ok, i expected more from the large plate items at a place with such rave reviews. Portion sizes are good, you won't leave hungry.

delicious food, nice ambience and friendly staff. 10/10

Truly a pleasant restaurant with charming staff and truly excellent food! We came on holiday with my father, we are French and we love eating good food. We were charmed by the menu and the quality of the products in this restaurant. The combinations of flavors that the restaurant offers are really pleasant on the palate, we will come back with great pleasure! Big crush on the sauce that accompanies the roasted potatoes and THANK YOU for offering a real chimmichurri sauce

Absolutely delicious Mediterranean food. Aubergine dip and hummus are a must! Highly recommend and such good value too.

The food was delicious and staff very friendly. Also it’s nicely decorated with all the plants.

Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend

Great place. The food is great, with lots of flavours and well-balanced options such as the cauliflower/broccoli hearts and the lamb shoulder. Their starters are also tasty. The service can be slow sometimes but the servers are polite and professional. I am often barely able to finish even though everything is delicious because the portions are large. Recommend.

Absolutely divine food and impeccable service!!!!!!!!!!

Great place, nice atmosphere, great food, nice service

This restaurant was absolutely wonderful! Food was amazing and service was impeccable!

Lovely with with very friendly staff they where really nice on their service and attentiveness

Delicious food, friendly staff, a great start to the day at such place

I love the food, salad, fish, and everything in this restaurant including the atmosphere and service. Price is a bit high but it’s reasonable. 5 stars and even moreeeee

Net restaurant met aardig personeel. Voor lunch keuze uit allerlei hapjes, en slaatjes, met goede smaak. Verwacht hier geen frites.

Absolutely loved it! Great food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious.

We went for weekend breakfast when they were serving both the lunch menu and the breakfast menu so lots of choice. Partner loved the fry up. Cauliflower was very well done. Lamb pita was alright but the aubergine was somewhat disappointing and lacking in flavour to someone who loves aubergines.

Great service and delicious food 👍🏼

Amazing food, very friendly staff.

Had a great brunch here with some lads! Food was really good and from great quality! Drinks were nice, Staff was friendly and professional! Interior is a vibe for sure! Price Performace : London :P But for sure a Recommandation!

Lovely food Lovely atmosphere Staff really welcoming and friendly Great location

Really amazing selection of food providing an excellent fine dining experience. My favourite was the sea bass which was so unique and delicious. If you plan on going you will likely need to order around 6-7 dishes for two people, which will be pricey, but definitely very tasty. The desserts are also a nice treat at I recommend.

Best meal I have had in London for a while....absolutely delish! Everything was lovely, though a few stood out....the chicken, salad, potatoes and the Burnt Butter.....ooooh, the Burnt Butter!!! Will definitely be back ❤️

This was outstanding!! They cooked all the veggies so perfectly that you just want to keep on eating and eating! Perfect example of how healthy food can be cooked so well that you don't even feel like you missed out on anything.

A bit expensive for what it offers- we spent 40+ pounds each for a main, a cocktail and a side to share. I got the lamb shoulders based on other reviews but I think can do with more seasoning

A lot more expensive than I expected it to be (£70 on a light meal for two) however staff were attentive, food was delicious, halal, and the interior was nicely done. There were enough flies (from the plants and greenery inside) to make it uncomfortable to dine, which combined by the pricing surprise means I rate this 3 stars. If judged on quality of food alone: 4.5

A lovely place with a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. I highly recommend it, especially for its great selection of vegetarian dishes—flavorful, beautifully presented, and far from boring!

Food was really delicious. It's best to share so you can try more

Things I fell in love of this place: the lamb shoulder, the burnt butter, the cauliflower, the miso aubergine salad, and the prettiest waitress ive ever seen, Jesus... anyway, lovely place, a bit pricey but, what is not expensive these days?, guys.

Tasty food. It has a few healthy salad options. The lamb shoulder is pretty fast to come.

Loved it! Everything was amazing!

Tasty food but portions are on the smaller side.

Always a pleasure to come here, but it seems this time the quality wasn’t as it was last year or 2 years ago.. I was a little bit disappointed. I hope it just happened this time

A bit of a Hail Mary as we were on foot in an unknown area. Nice room, good staff, they undersell the portion sizes a bit (ie, portions bigger than expected). Food was good, would def go back to hack at the menu.

The bottomless Amber brunch was delicious. Strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern food and likes to have their stomach full. Service was adequate but not very welcoming.

Lovely place. Great dishes. Sooo Fresh! Loved the desserts. And the IPA too ;)

Amazing cocktails and great food: the gnocchis were excellent, the lamb surprising and the green crunch a welcome freshness! Staff was very friendly and we really loved the ambiance (perhaps a little too dimly lit, but I loved the cozy vibes!). All in all the best dinner we had in London!

Really nice and friendly place with lovely service done by very polite waitresses. The breakfast was really great, latte good. There is carafe of water for any guest for free - if only more restaurants did this. I really recommend this place.

Creative cuisine, brunch possible. original

A cute place. Lovely atmosphere. The different types of bread is what impressed me. I could just eat the bread with nothing, it was so delicious. If I have to be picky, then I did not like the airy cheesecake, the taste and presentation could have been much better.

We had a delightful and flavorful meal at Amber the other evening. They were great with our food allergies and clear when they brought things to the table and put certain sauces on the side. The breads were delicious, as was the browned butter and honestly everything we ate. We ordered seconds of some things and the mango baklava for dessert was delicious. We ate here the night we were going to see ABBA which was just a short Uber away and we could have taken the train too... I'm taking the time to write this review because I found them through reviews and I think it's really important!

Tasting menu, great food, and great service

I live nearby but had never been to Amber, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The ambiance is serene and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The service was warm and attentive, making me feel truly welcomed. And the food—simply outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning.

I ordered a matcha latte, but the staff made a mistake and gave me the wrong latte. When I informed her that I had ordered a matcha latte, instead of apologizing for the mix-up, she repeated the word "matcha" in a strange tone—I’m not sure if she was trying to correct my pronunciation or something else, but she didn’t say sorry and just walked away. Then, when the matcha latte finally arrived, it was served in a water glass, not even a proper coffee cup. What’s the point of this? The whole coffee experience felt very unprofessional. To make matters worse, the £25 set menu we ordered was overly salty. The whole experience definitely not worth the £30 per person. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

I was very excited to try amber, given the glowing reviews and a couple of recommendations. I came with a couple of friends and I’d say the food was very underwhelming. We shared a few small plates, a highlight was the cauliflower but the chicken was very average and sea bass was relatively nice. Then for large plates we ordered the lamb shoulder and courgette dishes. The lamb was shredded and just felt a bit reheated and the courgette was quite bitter and disappointed. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere but for the price point I was hoping for better.

Wow, is the best word I can use to describe our experience at Amber. We were blown away by the quality of food from the tasting menu. Each course surprised us and was absolutely delicious, with perfect presentation. It was well worth the money. The service was en pointe- soon after we finished one dish, the next would come, so we were not impatient. I was particularly stunned by the seared cauliflower dish, whose texture and taste was like none I'd had before. And the mango baklava was a perfect ending. I can't recommend this place enough. The focus is on the food but the atmosphere is nice; rather hip and simple, but that's good (my 4/5 stars there might be conservative). Anyway, yes yes yes to Amber! We look forward to another visit. We live somewhat far outside London but we'd come back for this.

Very expensive for what it is, most meals we had we’re not tasty - neutral at best. Good service regardless.

Food was nice, but nothing special in my opinion and was very overpriced for what it was. We paid £19 for a courgette, and humous was £8 which seems a lot. We didn't order any meat and got a few dishes and 2 alcoholic drinks and spent almost £100. It didn't feel like £100 worth of food.

Had great experience here - amazing flavours. Highly recommend the courgette fritters and cauliflower plates. The deserts were creative and delicious. IG for other food places: @karott.e

Very tasty food but loud music made conversation difficult

Incredible dishes, the flavors combinations are absolutely not expected but simply delicious.

Amazing food, we practically licked each of our plates clean from the tasting menu. Reasonably priced and wonderful, fast service.

The food was very very very good!

Great place , good atmosphere, great food

Absolutely loved this place, the food was delicious! We will come back!

Incredible dishes on the sea bass, cauliflower/ broccoli stalks was outstanding. Smoked potato’s was incredible too. Coming back for sure!!!

So beautiful and cozy. Perfect dishes, extremely tasteful. Super service. We came for a lunch but we will try brunch as well.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere! Everything was delicious, and the service was top- notch. Highly recommend. Tasty😋😋

Food was awesome and had great service

A little gem of a place has excellent food and cocktails. The staff were helpful and very friendly and will happily walk you through choosing food from the menu. Don't ignore the cauliflower stalks they were a revelation

The most spectacular dish I have had for breakfast in London, a perfect balance between flavors, which makes it extremely delicious. I highly recommend this place, 10/10.

delicious food & great service - thank you

Excellent Lebanese restaurant: the cuisine is tasty and prepared on site. The service is efficient and friendly

Never had a Middle Eastern like this. Perfect ambience also

The breakfast was incredibly delicious and the location is really beautiful!!

It was wonderfull. I did not expect this quality level. I took the Labneh, the limb shoulder and the Mango Baklava -> Perfect from starts to the desert. -> Good atmosphere -> Nice service

The food here was insanely delicious! I had the hummus breakfast and am obsessed. Chill, quiet vibes too. Will definitely be going back.

Really lovely atmosphere, great food (plenty of vegan options), amazing service

I sadly became unwell after having their salad selection. The water tasted awful I assume because it had sat in a metal jug, and I am unable to leave my bed because of the queasiness and highly recommend going elsewhere.

Awesome food and a friendly relaxed vibe

Stylish Arabic food in Knightsbridge… love to eat there as food looks so delicious and tasty on the table, very welcoming indeed.

Excellent, we loved it, light food, well seasoned, good presentation, pleasant atmosphere.

Had a company dinner there on a Thursday evening. As soon as we walked in, the host warmup welcomed us and showed us to our table. As soon as we got seated, he handed us the food and drink menus. Some of my colleagues were thinking about getting some wine and he was able to provide some good recommendations, however we decided to go for other drinks. When we placed the food order, he informed us there's a 15 minutes wait on food, but that was ok for us. We really appreciated that he communicated that to us. Once the food came, everyone was very pleasantly surprised by the taste and combined textures of the dishes, as they were complementing each other very well. I went for a lamb shank with a side of smoked potatoes and a mocktail. The lamb shank was absolutely delicious, very tender and it was literally melting in the mouth. The potatoes were also done very well and they came with aioli, which was delicious. We also went for desserts and I got a chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream and lemon sprinkles. Overall it was an incredible experience food wise and we felt the service was extremely friendly. The atmosphere was very nice and cozy - there was some background music, however it was kept at a reasonably low level, so we could have conversations and clearly understand each other. Nothing short of 5 ⭐

Gran restaurante de Oriente Medio a un paseo del Wilton's Music Hall. Fuimos con dos amigos y compartimos la mayoría de los platos ofrecidos; el entrante Atom y el pollo a la parrilla eran destacados, pero no había nada que no fuera delicioso! El personal era experto y amable.

Very tasty breakfast. Well prepared and really a flavor that is incredible. Absolutely great service. Only recommended.

Went there absolutely starving and was served raw chicken when in the chicken pita. When I alerted the staff they didn't apologize or seem to care at all. The chicken was genuinely as pink as bubblegum.

Absolutely delicious food and lovely service. My favourite rest in London!!!

We had the tasting menu, it was amazing, so tasty, the service outstanding thank to the young girl ✨ all the staff was super friendly !

After several days of not eating very well, what a pleasure to find this restaurant. Adorable waitresses and we had a great time. I recommend without hesitation

My friend and I were on the hunt for a nice spot to catch up, and since she’s vegetarian, we figured Amber would be a great choice—and it totally was! Even though we showed up 30 minutes early (classic us), the team greeted us warmly and got us seated right away. The vibe of the place? So cozy. Loved the wooden furniture, plants everywhere, and the open kitchen giving off all the right energy. It was a long-overdue catch-up session, so shoutout to the team for being super patient with us as we took our sweet time to order. We kicked things off with a great bottle of wine and ordered a bunch of dishes to share. One thing we loved was how the food arrived as it was ready—none of that overwhelming table-juggling. It gave us space to enjoy each dish properly. Speaking of food, we tried the bread basket, hummus gnocchi, crawling flower, torched sea bream, prawns in garlic oil, grilled courgettes, and smoked potatoes. Every single thing was chef’s kiss delicious. The service? Absolutely top-notch. They really made it the perfect girls’ night out. Highly recommend Amber—it’s a gem!

Very bad service. Food was ok, not exceptional.

What delights, we never tire of it. Chance put this restaurant on my path, I went there the 3 evenings I was in London. Hummus, pitas, zucchini, eggplant, lamb, desserts, prawns... fabulous!

Absolutely wonderful service and the food was delightful 🤩 Will be going back for sure!

It is a very refined restaurant and good addition level with delicious cuisine

Great restaurant. The food is comparable to an oriental-style tapas bar. Very tasty and the staff is also very friendly and helpful. Of course it's not cheap, but the quality is good. I highly recommend the broccoli, a super tasty dish!

A wonderful place for a fancy oriental breakfast. Everything was super tasty and the prices were completely reasonable. We would definitely come back!

It’s still nice for brunch, but the food hasn’t been excellent for the past two years. I used to go almost every Sunday but stopped going as often. The food is still okay, just not as excellent as it used to be. I’m not sure if they changed the chef or the quality of the ingredients, but it’s been disappointing. I’m not saying the food is terrible—it’s just that the taste has changed, and I feel sad that I can’t enjoy it the way I used to.

Vine aquí para almorzar por primera vez. Estábamos a punto de ser apretados como estaba ocupado, pero la comida era fantástica. Escogimos el plato pequeño con los dos lados vegetales. Buen tamaño de la porción, muy buena relación calidad-precio y la comida era deliciosa. Sin duda recomiendo

Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Well worth the money.

Excellent food, delicious and the lamb melted in your mouth. Drinks were excellent. Overall a beautiful restaurant tucked away in central London.

Very friendly, helpful service. All dishes tasted great and a comfortable atmosphere.

I've been going to Amber for years and it gets better and better. The food is fantastic, very original with plenty of vegetarian dishes you can't find anywhere else. My meat eater friends have always be very happy too. I'm not a dessert person but the pumpkin seeds ice cream is just extraordinary!

Delicious 😍😍😍 especially the burnt aubergine & Granola

Great brunch! Highly recommend Shakshuka and Burnt Aubergine!

I loved the veggie selection here. The zucchini was delicious and so were the lentil kofte. The cornbread was perfectly moist. The cauliflower was a bit salty for my liking. But I will definitely consider revisiting.

Llegamos a eso de las 7 pm un viernes por la noche y el lugar estaba muy ocupado. Nos sentamos enseguida. El menú fue explicado claramente por un camarero muy educado. Optamos por el menú degustador que era la opción perfecta. La comida era divina, llena de sabor, servida rápidamente y caliente. La coliflor especiada fue un punto culminante particular.

Very delightful brunch experience, a great place to try middle eastern dishes in a cosy place

Fue una cena muy agradable, todos los platos estaban cuidadosamente preparados y muy buenos. El personal era sonriente y Lucía en particular era muy agradable explicando los platos e intercambiando unas palabras con nosotros. El restaurante tiene una cocina abierta y un ambiente agradable.

It was a very pleasant dinner, all the dishes prepared with care and really good. The staff are smiling and Lucia in particular was really nice, explaining the dishes to us and exchanging a few words with us. The restaurant has an open kitchen and a nice atmosphere.

Great food, Great ambience & Great service. Thoroughly enjoyed my Middle Eastern meal. I highly recommend Amber :-)
