Amber India is a great option for Quality Indian food in downtown San Francisco. It is ideal for family outings and also for business meetings. Some of the tables / seating arrangement can be a be uncomfortable if you are too tall or short. The food quality is great, but in general, it is slightly on the expensive side, probably due to the location. When the restaurant gets full (and it does), the noise levels may go up. But definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for Indian food in downtown San Francisco.

The food was good. The service was friendly and atentive. But the whole place was full and consequently very noise. We were a company of 4 on a small square table, but sometimes we had trouble understanding each other
