Amba - Cleveland

NOT FOR THE TYPICAL DESI, BUT PERHAPS GREAT FOR YOUNGSTERS The ambience is like that of a discotheque or bar with dark environment and loud high bass music, so not meant for families with children. Food is not bad, but Indian food is a lot about it's color and you cannot clearly see that in the dim setting...Kid friendliness: Not very kid friendly ambience.

Absolutely delicious and delightful experience. Excellent staff and atmosphere as well.

Vegetarian options: We shared a few appetizers and found that all were better than expected and couldn’t wait for larger portions. Not disappointed at all!! Never felt rushed and service was spot on!!

Wish more places were like this, esp. On the EastsideBig small plates,

Lacks of flavor and subtlety. The cooks are overambitious and the meals are not well-mastered. We had fried zucchini: raw zucchini in a poorly made batter; some tasteless yogurt with what was supposed to be beetroot; dry and tasteless samosas; a revisited sloppy Joe that could have been taken out of a can; over-spicy overcooked cauliflower; over salted and dry lamb kefta that didn 't taste like lamb. The restaurant is dark (I needed my phone light to read the menu), and over-crowded with loud music so people are screaming at each other to talk. It gives the place the feel and vibe of a cheap district canteen
