Amber

If you’re craving Indian curry, you’ve got plenty of options at Amber, a modern India restaurant in SoMa. Before opening Amber in 1994, owner Vijay Bist had culinary training in both India and Switzerland. He prioritizes natural, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients, and the menu reflects both regional Indian culinary traditions and modern influences. Local favorites include their saag paneer, truffled chicken tikka, samosas, and more! Amber offers vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, and vegan options.

Pro tip: Try their lunch buffet!
