Was a really nice portion as well, two people split those 3 items and it was plenty of food. Also we did spice level 2 and it did have a little bit of a kick but perfect for me! Very intimate vibe, it's a small restaurant so you feel really well attended to and like you're part of the family. Everything came out fast and so so fresh, great experience!

The biryani chicken usually comes with the chicken bone in, this did not which was surprising. Flavor was pretty bland. Their take on butter chicken was like nothing I've had before where I actually thought I had the wrong order. Not a fan. The mixed pickled veggies were thrown away immediately after trying. The only thing I enjoyed was the garlic naan! Portions were also very large. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning here. Pros: parking was fine, service was quick, restaurant seemed clean, portion size

I dined in with a college friend during a weeknight in early May 2026. It was an impromptu dinner…read morebut I'm glad that I was able to finally visit this Yemen-based restaurant. My friend and I were the only ones in the big restaurant upon arrival. I noticed about 2 different people during the night come in to pick up their to-go order. AMBIANCE -- Cultural music plays in the background. I love all the colourful photos on the wall and the unique light fixtures. FOOD -- I ordered the Mixed Grill ($24.99) - 1 Kafta (beef), 1 Tawook (chicken), and 1 Kabob (lamb) which was served over white rice with 1 tomato, 1 green pepper, and 1 big onion. I don't like onions so I set that aside. The Mixed Grill was a good meal for dinner. It comes in a large plate so it definitely was too much food for me. I gladly took a to-go box home with my leftovers. All the meats were cooked well and tasted good. The lamb was my favourite. The rice served appeared to be a rice pilaf. The complimentary lamb soup was served lukewarm (almost cold) and I didn't like the taste. It's an acquired taste for sure. My friend and I commented that maybe if the lamb soup was warmer that it would have tasted better. I also ordered the Maloog bread as a side dish which is similar to Indian naan bread. The Maloog bread would have tasted better with some butter on it. I asked for butter but the server said she didn't have any. SERVICE -- Complimentary lamb soup was offered and complimentary tea is provided which is nice. The tea is up at the front counter so you serve yourself the tea. The service was good but could be better. The young woman from Afghanistan greeted us at the table with a toothpick in her mouth which was kind of funny but still slightly unprofessional. She laughed and apologized but I said it was fine. I asked for a glass or cup of water and they don't offer that service which was odd. I had to buy a bottled water for $1. Buying the water didn't bother me as it was just $1 but I'm used to most restaurants just offering water on the house. The young hostesses did check on my table a few times which was good. I can see myself ordering food from Dar Alyemen again but I'll get takeout instead of dining in. The neighbourhood where this restaurant is located is a bit secluded. I do love that this is an ethic restaurant that showcases an immigrant business. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 85/250 total reviews in 2026 - 926 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 May 2026

Recommended to this place by a friend…read more There was complimentary tea and lamb soup--both quite flavorful. Got the yogurt drink, lamb, side salad, and the malooog bread. The yogurt drink wasn't for me as I'm not used to yogurt that's salty and not sweet at all. I liked everything else. The lamb was so tender and fell off the bone. There was quite a bit of rice that came with it, that we ended up taking it back. A small sized side salad was bigger than I had expected, and it was a crunchy refreshing side to the fatty lamb. Loved how fluffy and big the maloog bread was--definitely worth the price, and perhaps my favorite. Service was decent. Parking available as it has its own parking lot. Overall great food, would consider coming back!

I celebrated my birthday there last month and was in heaven with the cuisine and the homey ambiance. They even played birthday music for me in the background. I can hardly wait to return. This place is my new favorite Indian restaurant. One other thing I love about the restaurant is that food from all over India is served ratger than just one regiom. So of you go woth people who each prefer food from different regions, then each person is sure to find something to satisfy their craving. I sent a woman I work who is Indian to have her lunch there and she also loved it and agreed about the large variety of regions represented.

For dinner, we requested tandoori chicken pizza, Amritsari fish fry, and hariyali kabob. A little while later, the food arrived. It looked really appetizing. The hariyali kabobs had an incredible flavor and the fruity, spicy sauce was delicious. Loved those. The fish fry was tasty and also came with a yummy sauce. The pizza had a great flavor as well and I really liked it. I would like to try other pizzas and other dishes. We'll definitely be back because this place has a menu worth exploring. Yum!

The vibe is trendy so the restaurant is extremely dark and loud, but has some nice unique modern decor. We ordered the chef experience curated menu for four people and it was plenty (ended up having leftovers): chef experience | 4-5 people | 128 clay bread, lentil donuts, crispy puris, pineapple cucumber salad, paneer cheese, spicy sloppy joe keema, ghee basted shrimp, pilau, roasted eggplant We switched the shrimp for the herb grilled chicken tikka due to dietary restriction. Our favorites were lentil donuts and crispy puris. Everything was unique and creative with fun strong flavors and nice presentation.

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.
