Amber India

Pros: Balls o' tato stuffed with mint and apricot chutney
Cons: Balls o' tato that are 4 for $11.50

I finally tried Amber India in Mountain View a week ago. My friends that I ate there with asked if I was going to review it. Initially, I said “no” since I’ve seen enough Amber India reports (Chowhound, SF Chronicle, etc.). But then I realized it would ...

Pros: Great food, lovely decor.
Cons: Crowded, not always enough parking.

There must be something about strip malls and good little places to eat. Perhaps it's the surprise that an unassuming veneer can house an eating delight that warrants visit after visit. In Kauai and Maui, much of the fine dining could be found in a...

Pros: food, ambiance, service

Pros: Excellent food
Cons: Horrendous Service, Arrogant Management

On one occasion...

Pros: Lovely Decor
Cons: Food

This is certainly not the best restaurant for Indian food.
The decor is really lovely, cozy but we certainly do not visit the restaurant only for the decor, do we?
The menu has good range of dishes to satisfy vegetarians as well as...

Pros: Food
Cons: Customer service sucks

I have been to restaurant recently. Oh man, their customer service is pathetic. The waiters were very rude. The food was okay and I might order something TO-GO in future BUT would never ever eat-in again.
