Review by Frederick Wintheiser

September 28, 2024

Amba is a hidden gem in Cleveland that beautifully blends modern Indian cuisine with a chic atmosphere! 🍽️

I loved the vibrant music and cozy dim lighting, which made for a romantic dining experience. The small plates are well-portioned, and we indulged in crispy puris, herb raita, and their unique clay bread - definitely a highlight!

While some dishes felt toned down for Western palates, the flavors still pleased and made it perfect for sharing. Fast service and friendly staff added to the delightful experience. Definitely worth exploring - the wait might get lengthy, but the food is solid! 🌟
