It's clear she was passionate about the food they serve! I recommend their Nimbu mocktail, a spiced lemonade drink made with Sprite, lime, mint, and savory spices. It's different but very tasty! We enjoyed a Gobi Manchurian appetizer, a spicy deep-fried cauliflower dish. Again, an excellent dish! I ordered the Blu Basil mixed grill with two varieties of chicken, lamb kabob, and shrimp. Absolutely delicious and a massive amount of food. Somehow I managed to finish, probably because it was just so good! My wife enjoyed the shrimp and scallop do piazza dish and the results were similar. Terrific flavor and a very ample portion! If you enjoy Indian food, do not miss this amazing establishment. Well worth the visit!

Food was good, portions shrinking. Bar service is bad. A while ago, I ordered a gin and tonic, and…read morethey didn't have any tonic. No excuse for that when you have a grocery store 100 yards away. Tonight I ordered a vodka tonic and it was the flattest drink I ever had, didn't see or taste any carbonation.

The dishes were really flavorful too, nothing out of the ordinary in regards to most Indian restaurants , but very well prepared. Love that this place has dosas though as they are hard to find in the northeast Ohio area. The one star reviews due to being spicy is ridiculous to me. Most Indian spices used make the dishes a little spicy, otherwise the dish will be unauthentic or flavorless. Please expand your horizons because having a dish spicier than your preference is not a reason to bring down a score. I would never judge a place that is built on flavors and spices on being more spicy than my personal preference. Nor would I rate a place lower because it was less spicy than I was expecting. You are eating at an Indian restaurant, and should be aware of the spices used in most dishes.

We were welcomed with a delicious smell as soon as we walked in, but was surprised to find that we were the only guests there. As such, service was quick, and the man who served us was very nice.

We ordered takeout and I was so excited since I love Indian. When we arrived the food was not ready and the place was dimly lite and completely empty. It was over lunch time so I was concerned when it was empty. We paid and took the food home to eat. Both dishes we got were oddly colored and had little to no meat. The rice was horrible, the sauce had no flavor. It honestly was inedible. I took one bite and spit it out. It smelled weird and rancid, and was so awful I feared we would get food poisoning. This place should be shut down, Dingy dark, the back room is filled with trash it looks like. Oh and besides inedible food you pay a lot for the food you get it's overpriced. Something feels extremely off and I've never had an experience this bad before. To not be able to eat the food it's so disgusting, is ridiculous!

We loved everything we ordered (and wished we would've gotten more). Was a great stop while visiting family in Ohio.

The buffet had biryani, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, lamb vindaloo, paneer, chickpea curry, and some dessert options like gulab jamun. Everything was yummy!

The door is wonky though...super heavy and opens weird. They have a lot of different options and premade bowls. For someone who is not very familiar with Indian food, this place makes it easy to customize and try out stuff. Nothing was too spicy or too overspiced, thankfully. Everything tasted relatively fresh but the portions are too small for the price. It's not like at Chipotle or Cilantro where they fill up your bowl. I almost never finish my portion in one sitting but I had no problem doing so here. I wish there were more veggie toppings and not just pickled ones. Scallions and cilantro would be great options to have. The mango lassi was delicious but so small. The inside is high ceilinged, spacious and has plenty of seating. The big group bench in the middle had such heavy and had awkward block seats. They were hard to get in and out of and were so uncomfortable.

I don't live nearby, so a return trip isn't likely--but if I did, I'd be a regular, working my way through the menu like a mission. Delicious food. No frills. Quiet magic.

I visited while in Cleveland and was super happy I listened the folks on online forums I researched before my trip, because it delivered! The menu is more Indian-fusion rather than your super traditional Indian fare, weaving in classic flavors with a few twists and inspiration from the mediterranean and middle-east. It's special-diet friendly, with a wide range of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and I would suggest ordering 2-3 small plates per person, unless you opt for the opt for their "chef-curated menu's." We went with four dishes plus bread to share between the two of us: 1. Clay Bread ($6): Ambas version of Naan bread, just a bit less charred than I would prefer. Despite each table getting a little dish of (delicious) mango chutney, no bread service is offered so this is definitely needed if you're ordering any dippage. This tasted more like pita bread than naan and could've benefitted by a brush of ghee and sprinkle of sea salt. Rating: 3/5 2. Warm spinach dip - lemon, garam masala, yogurt ($10): A classic but with a warm and spicy spin, this was absolutely delicious and a perfect thing to dip their fluffy clay bread. Garam masala added a depth that made it addictive and the hint of fresh lemon added brightness and acidity. Definitely order this. Rating: 5/5 3. Lentil donuts - spicy serrano chili jam, coconut chutney ($13): Round little pucks of cooked red lentils shaped into mini donuts and fried, the texture and heft were a bit mushy and heavy, but the flavor was good. The serrano chili jam and coconut chutney added a sweetness and spiciness that was appreciated, and we used that to add some sweetness to the chicken tikka. I probably wouldn't order again but a good option for the vegan and gluten-free crowd. Rating 3/5 4. Lamb kofta - kohlrabi, pickled shallot, quinoa-carrot pilau, parsley ($19): These were perfectly fried, simple but super flavorful kofta's that really let the star of the show (lamb) shine. The shaved kohlrabi, pickled shallot, pilau, and parsley added freshness and brightness that balanced everything beautifully. One of the standout dishes of the night and if you're there, get this! Rating 5/5 5. Herb grilled chicken tikka - creamy tomato sauce, yogurt, chives ($20): Juicy chicken thighs were coated in a tomato-forward cream sauce that gave vibes of chicken tikka but not as spice-forward as a more traditional version (which I would have like/appreciated). Despite the description saying the chicken was grilled, it only had just the slightest hint of char and so this was one of the least favorites of the night. Good, but definitely room for improvement. Rating 3/5 Overall, Amba is absolutely worth checking out if you're craving Indian-inspired flavors in a more modern, small-plate format. The ambiance is perfect for date night, celebrations, or dinner with friends, and the menu offers enough variety and flex to explore while also being wallet-friendly.

I came with a large group- 11 other women from a foodie women's group I am a part of - for a birthday celebration in August 2026. We made reservations in advance and didn't have any trouble finding availability for that day and time. The interior is very large and there is lots of seating. We had a designated server who took our orders and waited on us and he was very friendly! I didn't buy a drink but I tried a friend's mango lassi which was so creamy and rich! I thought about getting myself a masala chai but was too cheap to. I ordered myself a basket of tandoori roti which was glazed with butter ($4) to start off with. Others at my table ordered appetizers as well, including someone who bought a flight of pani puri. This flight made for great pictures! For my main, I got the Pubjabi chicken dish, medium spice, which came with a side of basmati rice ($20). Everyone who tried sone of my dish loved it, as did I! I was very happy with my choice. I also had enough for leftovers, although granted, I was filled up on roti bread. To our surprise, our waiter surprised us all with two servings of their signature Indian dessert, gulab jamon, for a complimentary birthday treat! I love gulab jamon, which are small honey balls of spongey cake, and have had them many times before. The gratuity was included automatically due to the size of our party. My check came out to about $32, which is not bad for how good the food and the service was! I highly recommend dining here for yourself. There's plenty of room for large parties!
