Amber Indian Restaurant

I am from NJ where Indian restuarants abound. Also, I have many excellent cooks in my family that can throw down some amazing Indian dishes, particularly northern indian food. Amber is excellent to very good. I have been there for dinner many times and for a large party. The food is excellent. I cannot speak on the buffet as of yet. more

This is the most American version of Indian food I have tried... No. I am sorry the second worst. The first is a place in Harrisburg. I have tried Indian food all over the US for many years and have mostly been amazed at the wonderful flavors many places use. Until I went to the Amber. They are to Indain food what McDonalds is to a steak house. Bland, dry, over cooked, under spiced, under flavored.... I now have to travel to Allentown from the Scranton area to get good Indian food. Pros: The only Indian place around Cons: Bastardized American Indian food. more

If you are in the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton area, I will highly recommend that you check this restaurant out. Being a vegetarian and traveling (i am from Indiana) often forces me to drive a little further than i would normally go for food. this place was definitely worth the 15 mile drive i had to make to get there. Pros: Extremely good value (quality vs. price); excellent vegetarian variety Cons: None, really... more

I've been an Indian cuisine aficonado since the seventies, and have enjoyed restaurants across North America, Australia, and in Indian 'centers' like Toronto and London. You never know when you'll find good or so-so food, and there's a certain excitement in trying a place for the first time. Pros: Excellent food, low prices more

This restaurant is not one you would go to for any special occasion. The food and service are just OK, nothing more. more

If you live in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, you NEED to at least try the food at this restaurant. I have gone to this restaurant many times over the past year and I love it every single time. The people that run this restaurant are truly nice and caring people. Very rare can you form a bond with the people in a restaurant. This has been my experience. The food is not to be believed. If you are into spicy things, this is the place for you. The Tandoori Mix Grill is amazing. The different naans are all better than the next. The Kulfie (saffron flavored ice cream) and Indian coffee is a perfect end to a perfect experience. The ambiance is perfect as well. The bathrooms are spotless. Pros: Amazing Service, Unbelievable Food, Overall Wonderful Cons: A Bit Pricey more
