The Amber Fort in Bromley

My husband and I visited for dinner last night. The restaurant was very busy but the service we experienced was fabulous, our every need was attended to. The food was delicious and cooked to a very high standard. The King Prawn Butterfly we had for our starter was the best we’ve tasted, the main tandoori King Prawn and the Butter Chicken alongside the Amber Fort Chef’s selection platter were outstanding. We will definitely be visiting again with the family. Thank you to the staff that made us feel so welcome.

Excellent service & food There was 12 of us and all dishes served were excellent no complaints at all Considering it was banquet night and the restaurant was full Excellent value £16.45 5 course

Best Indian around Chicken Dandan’s amazing and so tasty Staff a really friendly Clean restaurant and has plenty of parking on the main road

Our favourite Indian restaurant in the Beckenham area. Good food, good service and good surroundings. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I have Dined at The Amber Fort , and I was not just a one off the food and service is top class , the popadoms where light and fresh , the dips are second to none with 5 dips as a choice, never see 5 , the wine was well priced. And the food is outstanding, we are big curry fans so are well experienced in dining out , if you love a curry you will not be disappointed I guarantee you will be delighted with your meal and service, looking forward to eating there again thanks guys keep up the good work, 👌🏻

Very nice meal with lots of choice. Would recommend the place. Only downside was they started to clear the table while others were still eating.

Such amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend for a relaxing evening, great staff and some of the best Indian I’ve tasted in the area, and I love my curry!

This restaurant is amazing. Excellent customer service and equally delicious food! We are from Australia and our local friends, Garth & Louise, brought us here back in 2012, so we couldn’t pass up a visit now in 2023! It was exactly as I remembered - friendly and incredible food! Thank you.

Beautiful historical monument to visit in Jaipur, Pride of Pink city, Treasure of Indian history, Loved this

Went for the first time the other evening, have been missing out. Great food, really nice people and nice decor too. Can't fault it.

we keep trying different curry restaurants in the area but always end up coming back to the amber fort great service, the food is consistently good and brilliant value for money, particularly the banquet nights

We have visited The Amber Fort on several occasions and went on Sunday 24th July 2022. The restaurant was offering a 5 course banquet. The food was amazing as always, the staff were friendly.

I have visited this restaurant twice in the last couple of months. The food is very good and it is competitively priced. The service is very efficient, although a little too efficient. Staff were asking to take our order within only a couple of minutes of receiving the menu. When we finished our meal, we were still drinking our coffees and the waiter asked us about the bill. We decided to just pay up there and then and get going. Perhaps they have their regular local groups they need to look after. All in all you can't go wrong with the food, but would have preferred a more relaxing experience.

This is totally the best Indian restaurant in Beckenham The food is always exceptional and the staff attentive I wouldn’t seriously go anywhere else

We have eaten at the Amber Fort a few times recently and it really is a super restaurant. The food is first class - really delicious - and the service excellent. In my opts probably the best Indian restaurant in the area.

Having tried quite a few local Indian restaurants and haven’t been that happy with them due to food being luke warm, I wouldn’t say I’m fussing but I don’t expect to receive my food order and have to put it in the microwave continuously. Anyway I thought I’d give this restaurant a go as I’d heard good reviews and I’m happy to say the reviews were correct! Meal was easy to order, came exactly on time, food was the correct temperature and tasted amazing, we will definitely be ordering again. My son had a taste of ours and said it was the best keema nan he had tasted.

Good to see you open again - good luck over the coming weeks. Lovely food and lovely evening thanks you from the three of us.

Tasty food, great customer service, friendly staff, very clean, great atmosphere, all round a great place to go and have some great food.

First tried this place last year when I visited with a few family and friends and it was amazing!! Top quality food, excellent customer service and such a great atmosphere!! I’ve ordered in throughout lockdown multiple times and they’ve never failed to amaze. Would definitely recommend.

After all the hype we finally decided to try this place for a takeaway. The meal was really disappointing. The prawn puri was tasteless and the prawns overcooked and rubbery. The Chicken in the Biriani was dry and overcooked and the accompanying vegetable curry, pretty disgusting and full of what looked like reheated frozen veg. The best part of the meal were the onion bhajis and the chicken dhansak. But again the chicken was over cooked. The delivery driver wasn’t wearing a face mask or keeping his distance either. So disappointed by this takeaway. Won’t be going back.

This evening, we made the spontaneous decision to order a curry. Supporting local, we ordered from The Amber Fort. We ordered what we have ordered in the past, as we know we like the food. After waiting just over an hour, our food arrived. When it did, there was a fault. A chicken razala was ordered, and a chicken rogan josh arrived (photo attached). As can be seen, they bare little resemblance; no one had checked the order before it was sent out. When I phoned to check this, the kitchen confirmed there was a mistake (which was comforting) but the person on the phone coordinating this was where the issue lay. He asked if I wanted a replacement, to which I said yes, of course, as I wanted what I had ordered and not the chicken rogan josh (which was swimming in oil, see photo). I then asked if there was anything else he was going to do for the inconvenience, and he replied, “What would you like me to do?” I feel that this was a polite question, but as a business owner who has made a fault (which I appreciate does happen, and is totally ok) perhaps it would be an idea to suggest how you will resolve the issue to ensure we will continue to order from you? This is quite an uncomfortable question for a customer to answer, especially as we had already paid. When the replacement arrived, over half an hour after the call was made, the rice initially ordered was cold and the rest of my family had already eaten. Two popadoms were provided as compensation. The curry tasted great, but I just felt disappointed. On separate note, when I made this order initially, I was called ‘Madame’ by the person who answered the phone, presumably the boss as he often answers the phone. He continued to do this when I called back, and it was at this point when I said, “I’m a man, please stop calling me ‘Madame.’” He did apologise, though clearly hasn’t learnt from this mistake because he has has done this to me before, and I have called him out on it previous times too. We’re in 2020, nearly 2021, we don’t need to be referred to as ‘Sir’ or ‘Madame’ anymore. It’s a shame, as the food is good, but I’d think twice before ordering a takeaway again from The Amber Fort.

Best curry I’ve ever had the flavours and quality were unbelievable and the price was very reasonable came on time and hit aswell all round 10/10 experience and can’t wait to order from here again.

The food was excellent and delicious. Also well-priced. The staff were very friendly, very welcoming, smiling and great. I can’t wait to go there again for my favourite curry. The restaurant is very clean and tidy, beautifully decorated with pretty lights. The best Indian restaurant I’ve been to. Five-star rating and highly recommended!

Food here is very good and good value. Staff are very friendly. A great local Indian restaurant. Wine is also very good value.

I'm done with this place! Ive been coming here for years. The food is good but customer service has gone downhill. It's as if the staff (especially the Manager) has grown contemp to their customers. They don't smile, when they take your order its as if they r doing u a favour! The last straw for me is when the burnt the king prawn, I complained to the manager, he sort if said sorry but still charged me for the dish. Also the place is rather tatty now with really cheap old fashioned decor. Not the place it used to be and other reviews reflect this now.

Terrible experience at amber fort one star purely because the food was nice. Every member of staff including the manager not wearing masks properly. Manager wore mask over mouth but not nose, rest of the waiting staff just had them hanging around their chins. I felt very unsafe.

Have been to several restaurants since lockdown has been lifted and have been impressed with how they have been run . However I visited Amber Fort on a weekday and felt there were too many people in there . Not sure if they actually followed any guidelines? Saw sanitizer available but some staff not wearing visors . Food was ok , nothing special , rather bland., felt as if the dishes needed more spices . We were disappointed as this was aways a good restaurant, and have been visiting it for 5 years . It may have just been an ‘off’ day but we probably will pass a visit again for a while .

Group of four, we all had nice food and good service, my girlfriend had lamb and said it was tough (after we left) I’m sure the guys would have made amends if this was pointed out at the time, I’d still return.

We came across this restaurant and thought it would be nice to have a meal in so called 'The finest Indian cuisine'. It was busy so we hoped that was a good indication that it was popular. It was over an hour between entering and ordering the food to receiving it.The food was flavourless, without any spice & saltless. In my case the absolute worse chana masala I have ever tasted in my life. It was more like boiled chickpea which were unsavory. Food is below average - I've had better in Sainsbury's.Space is minimal - too many tables crammed in.Service - Awful - took ages to get served.Never visiting again.

Ordered for a family of 6 and could not be more impressed! Delicious food and great value. I would recommend to anyone.

Spacious restaurant. Food was scrumptious and the service was excellent. Available parking outside. Reasonably priced.

An amazing time at the Amber Forte in Beckenham, 27 of us for Mums Birthday meal. The food was amazing

Amazing night for my nannys 80th , couldn't have done more to make her evening and to accommodate all of us , bearing in mind there were 27 of us the staff were brilliant ,even opening up early to let us decorate the table !!!Thank you too Shamin and his great team x

The buffet deal is very good value and the food is also very good. Great choice of dishes and very good quality. Staff are great

We ate here in-restaurant back in May 2019, and thought we found the best Indian restaurant in the SE London area. However, we have now twice ordered takeaway from here, and it's been pretty disgusting both times. The first time I thought we were just unlucky. Most recently, we ordered 2 mixed seafood curries (one of the most expensive mains on the menu), and two sides (1 brinjal sabsi, and 1 saag paneer.) Now, I know a fair bit about good Indian cuisine, and the key problem is that there is TOO MUCH OIL in the food (as you can see in the photos). The oil dampens all the flavour, and the end result just takes like oily sludge. I even asked for extra chilli, and couldn't taste anything. The saag paneer was ok, hence the 2 stars.To the owner (If you're reading), please tell me, why such the massive difference between your takeaway quality, and the in-restaurant quality? I was so looking forward to your food so much, that I even went out in the pouring rain to get cash, because you guys wouldn't take card payment over the phone. Also, for £31 cost, quite frankly, we felt ripped off for the quality you are providing...I can go into central London and pay the same money for something far superior.

Love this restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and the surrounded are so inviting. We go as often as we can afford - banquet nights are a real treat

Thanks for looking after us today, very lovely food and service. Banquet days / evenings very good value. Lovely restaurant.

We are on a tour around India and in Jaipur we visited the exquisite Amber Fort set high on the mountains above Jaipur. Well worth a visit to see the original rooms within the Fort. However our guide advised us that the elephants that provide a ride from the bottom of the hill to the fort and our tour operator Abercrombie and Kent via their guide will not allow their guests to ride these elephants as they are being terribly mistreated. We saw this first hand with a poor elephant who was clearly tired was being kicked to make him carry tourists up the steep hill ! Pass on the word don’t ride on the elephants.

We often go to the Amber Fort and we are never disappointed. Fab service, fab food fab staff.. and well done Shamin and staff..

The food here is bland. I ordered a curry after a long trip to india and was craving curry, this was so disappointing. I had to season it myself with chilli flakes coriander and lemon just to make it taste of anything

Great food and service. They could not do enough for us highly recommended. Easy parking on road and we took doggie bags home with us plenty of delicious food at not a high price xxx

Have used this restaurant since it opened aroun 15 years ago best Indian around have all family get together here always accommodating food always good never had to complain.Takeaways always good and arrives on time. Pat

I went there with family, amazing food, fast service and an excellent atmosphere. Great prices to match with all of that!

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant, I ate here with friends on their George Michael tribute night and it was brilliant! Great food great service great atmosphere. Came to the restaurant last night (Thursday 12th December) and left feeling quite disappointed, on arrival I needed to use the loo and as I got to the door a male staff member came out of the ladies loo and left the seat up. The restaurant was quite empty with just another couple in there so the atmosphere understandably wasn’t quite the same. We ordered our drinks and were asked if we were ready to order in which we replied please can we have a few minutes, after being asked another two times we ordered our starters only, another three or times after that they were pressuring us to order our mains to which I replied can we order it about 9.10pm (the time was 8.40pm) as we wanted a rest. The waiter then said we close at 11pm so ordering just after 9pm would have given us plenty of time, but no they wouldn’t allow this and another waiter came over and insisted on taking our order. The food was lovely. We had desert while the staff stood there starring at us making it obvious they wanted us out of the restaurant so they can close making us feel extremely uncomfortable. Then my friend needed the loo but couldn’t get in there because a male member of staff was using the ladies loo again, I challenged them and said it’s probably not the right thing that customers have to wait while the staff use the ladies loo and for some reason they found this funny.

Enjoyed a lovely family meal here. There were 4 of us with a baby and we were given a warm welcome. We shared some poppadoms and nan bread and had a main course each- korma, tikka masala, jalfrezi and sathkora . They were all very tasty and we enjoyed coconut rice and sag aloo as sides. We also had a bottle of red wine. The staff were very friendly and the food really good . We got complimentary Baileys and brandy after the meal.

I tend to go on “banquet nights” where you choose a starter, main, side etc. etc. all for less than £20.

Lovely staff , great food, and local . Menu is large and choice is very good and served professionally .

Lovely staff and scrumptious food. We even got a complimentary drink at the end which was a lovely touch

We have been a few times and every time that we go the food is excellent along with the service. We will return again soon.

Love this place, food and staff are always very welcoming.. Also went for the Whitney tribute night the other day as well, amazing.. Well done Shamin

We get our Indian deliveries from here all the time. Best for miles around and the meal for one is a great value for money deal.

I read the reviews and decided to give the restaurant a go with my family having just moved to the area. The service was slow. It was difficult to get a waiter and just getting ice with some soft drinks was challenging. The food was not good. Far too much sugar especially in the butter chicken. They offered complimentary post dinner drinks but really that’s not what is important

Me and my young family rarely get takeaways especially indian takeaways but as I had been yearning for a good curry for a long time we ordered a few dishes(probably too much) but for the first time the girls ate it all with no moaning etc which made it all the better. So thumbs up all round!

We arranged to hold a celebration meal at the Amber Fort for 22 people on a Saturday evening.It was suggested we pre order a number of different curries,sides, rices and Nans rather than having 22 people ordering seperately.This proved to be a great idea,the food came up all together ,allowing everybody a taste of different curries and the chance to try other dishes they may never have tried before.

Best curry house in all of the land :-) we love amber fort so much! Have been getting take away from there for years and never had a bad meal plus the portions are very generous. We always joke that we’d never move out of the amber fort delivery zone. The restaurant is just as lovely! My personal favourite is rezala chicken.

Three of us tried the Amber Fort this week. The food was very good and the service was excellent. We appreciated the fact that the staff checked on us twice to ensure all was ok. Three curries with rice and two large glasses of wine together with tip came to only £15 each. Would highly recommend

First visit to this restaurant, went with 7 friends and had a very enjoyable time. Food was good, onion bhaji's exceptional. Service was good and topped off with a complimentary gin and tonic to end the evening.

The buffet deal is great value here and the food is very good. Good choice of starters, mains and sides. Staff are very friendly and you get a complimentary drink at the end.

my wife and I were visiting my son and his family first visit to this restaurant food and service was superb and very reasonably priced we had a wonderful time will definitely go there again

Not sure what happened on 11th May 2019 but service was not very good at all, the young lady had language problem understanding the order and asking if popadoms were gluten free, she thought we meant are 'free' as in no payment!! we have been informed in the past gluten free now they seem to not be..who knows because they was not sure either.. so no popadoms no onion bhaji as they were not sure about these either. We arrived at 7pm (4 persons) ordered meal and 3 of us had popadoms. At 8pm no sign of meal no one would come over to us we were trying to attract their attention, when we did the young lady came and I asked how much longer she said not long (not really helpful) I asked for a naan bead as I was feeling so hungry starting to feel unwell...naan bread never arrived! at 8.45 the meal came with no explanation about the wait, the restaurant was only 1/4 full! although the food was lovely, the long wait made it a disappointing evening. I am hoping the manager can read this and explain what happened please.

We’ve been coming here for about they past 10 years and have never had a problem. We both go for meals and get take away and they are always brilliant. We used to go to another very well known curry place in Beckenham but they don’t have anything on the Amber fort! Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommended!

Friendly service, delicious food. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates Indian food

Just had a party of nine at the restaurant.We all enjoyed good hot food, prompt service and an excellent eating experience. The complimentary drinks at the end were a very nice touch. Well done to all the staff

We visited here based on the reviews and were disappointed. It was not overly busy but were shoved in a tiny table behind the door. Service was shocking. Food average at best. Amazing number of deliveries going out to the detriment of in house diners. No chance of going back.

Quite simply a Great Indian Restaurant, there’s always a warm welcome waiting from the owner or one of his team. A pleasing modern decorative theme throughout, excellently prepared dishes catering for all tastes. If there’s something you particularly like and it’s not on the menu - just ask they will always try to accommodate requests. Banquet nights are great value Sunday -Tuesday, give them a try all ways best to book Friday Saturday

I have been to the Amber fort now on several occasions during the past couple of years, the food seems to get better each time , and the service is superb, always attentive. I now think the amber fort is probably the best in beckenham

Excellent!!! Highly recommended local restaurant, great service, great people, and even better food - will be back!!!

My grandson had this restaurant recommended to him and decided to celebrate his birthday there. Very friendly attentive staff and good service. The food was of a very high standard and surprisingly very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Amber Fort is an exceptional Indian restaurant. And although I love Indian food, this one is above and beyond others I've been to. The chicken Rezala is my favourite - even though I've tried other dishes and also been surprised by how much I liked it.

The Sunday buffet is a very good deal here. Food is good and there is a good choice. Excellent value for a starter, main, side and nan or rice. Staff are very friendly and offer an end of meal drink. Worth a visit.

Long day at work but what is better than popping into the Amber fort. As always very high quality food, cooked fresh with attentive friendly staff. My favourite is the naga lamb whilst my wife enjoys the chicken dishes. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will be back soon.

I wasn’t expecting much as they do a ‘buffet’ however, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the portions.

Service was excellent with waiters extremely friendly! Food and drink was top notch and provided excellent value for money! I've been here several times over the past 18 months and have not had anything less than a very enjoyable visit. I plan to visit again in the very near future!!

Sorry for the delay, IT issues.

Went here for a midweek curry with the family and I do enjoy coming here, but when I find a long dark hair in one of the dishes and I don't even get a sincere apology, just a replacement bought out 5 minutes later is unbelievable, which we declined. No more food was eaten by any of us. The waiter collected our half full plates without comment apart from asking if we wanted the desert menu . We requested the bill and the usual complimentary drinks was offered, the bill came for the full charge and when collected the waiter cheekily asked if we wanted change!!

Visited this restaurant for the first time and will definitely be going back. Having visited many Indian restaurants this is by far one of the best. Staff were friendly and attentive, service was great and very reasonably priced, for good quality food.

just moved house so tried a take away must say staff who were dealing with my order over the phone were fantastic and when the food arrived could not fault it fantastic

We went on a Tuesday evening it was fully booked with a lot of regular customers as they do a set meal. My friend and I ordered of the menu, the food was lovely. One member of staff was very lazy, we found it hard to get his attention. We will go back but not on a Tuesday evening as we like to have a catch up and found it a bit noisy.

Went for a family birthday meal for 9 and the level of service was second to none right from the start.all 9 meals came out together and were beautiful, all members of staff were polite and friendly.10 out of 10

The food is fantastic and great value for money. The staff are always very polite and attentive Well worth a visit Great atmosphere Best Indian Restaurant in Beckenham

The Amber Fort is always seems to be busy – that should be all I need to say. This is especially the case on a Friday/Saturday and the mid-week banquet night they run.

We have not been here for a while and pleased to find it is still serves utterly delicious food! My daughter who is 6 loves too especially the Prawn Puri!

Family run amber fort is a local fav of ours. The restaurant is immaculately clean and staff remember you and can’t do enough for you .

A very smart clean restaurant serving high quality food for reasonable prices. Service is friendly and pleasant as well as being timely even when the restaurant is busy.

Another delicious meal with the family in the Amber Fort. Great food, service and ambience. Thank you!

Shamim and his team didn't disappoint with food or service on a recent school mum's get together. The food as always was great and is fantastic value especially on a banquet night (Sunday & Tuesday's.) Special menu requests are accommodated with ease (strongly recommend a spinach and mushroom dhansak!)

Have been here a lot lately and the place always delivers To be honest I'm not sure I can add a lot to the number of other great reviews this place receives.

We have both eaten in the restaurant and had food delivered. The food standard is very high and the staff are both friendly and helpful. The food is reasonably priced and I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Great staff, service and food with lots of flavours at fair prices. Go there, you wont be disappointed

The food tastes amazing here, so fresh and full of flavour. Staff are very friendly. I have to say the chilli chicken and garlic dish is absolutely lovely here.

Ordered delivery, based largely on trip advisor rating - but meal was really disappointing. Every part of every course was bland to the point of being almost tasteless. Will not be again.

My friends and I had a lovely tasty meal here. The staff are exceptionally polite and helpful and we were made very welcome. All of our dishes were delicious - only the lamb tikka was a little fatty for my friends tastes but other than that a very good night all round and will definitely visit again.

Food is always good, but ordering online is non existent. The images of the food are missing & the online ordering service says coming soon. It's been coming soon for 5 years. I tend to order from other places online when I see that Amber Fort online never works.

We are regulars at The Amber Fort and always have an amazing time. The food is great and the service is spot on. Always look forward to our curry nights.

As always the best food, thanks again Shamin. Your attention to detail and flavour is second to none.

Love this place, staff, service and especially the food. It’s so, so tasty, best Indian food by far. Only place you can eat in snd take out snd the good is exactly the same. Thank you Amber Fort.

Have enjoyed many meals at this restaurant - always good food, friendly but professional service and nice atmosphere. Very impressed by their service for family groups especially positive interaction/attention to children.

My wife and I hadn't booked and was in West Wickham having a few drinks at The Railway. About 845 we decided we really fancied a curry and with The Amber Fort being our regular restaurant I gave them a call.

We visit the amber fort at least once a month if not more.

We visited again after having a bad experience a few months ago (poor service) and we were delighted with the reception received. The manager recognised us and immediately apologized for our previous experience. The food was delicious and service impeccable. Every establishment can sometimes go through a bad experience but what marks out a good restaurant and management is the way they deal with the issue and I must say the Amber Fort manager dealt with this fantastically. We shall be back soon. Thank you.
