http://www.tulleeho.com/bc/bar1.asp?ID=212&City=Calcutta - Ambience: Every city has its landmarks (5-Star hotels excluded) for Tandoori food. Delhi has Moti Mahal, Mumbai has Copper Chimney, Bangalore has Tandoor and Chennai has Kabul. When it comes to Kolkata, these laurels undoubtedly rest on the able shoulders of Amber and its sibling across Bentinck Street - Sagar. Amber is a restaurant complex comprising 3 floors - Bar on ground floor, Restaurant on 1st floor for families (along with a mezzanine for private parties) - stags not allowed and Restaurant on 2nd floor - a smoke hazy male dominion and the 3rd floor used for VVIP Guests and has also been used as a waiting lounge at times. Sagar is a smaller version with a Bar on the ground and a family room on the 1st floor. Both restaurants are replenished from a base kitchen situated opposite Amber, next to their takeaway outlet. When one sets out on the onerous task of reviewing one such venerated institution, it should be remembered that the millions of satisfied customers over several years have already done the reviewing time and again and bear ample testimony to the stupendous success of the "Mother of all Tandoori Restaurants- Amber". It now becomes a mere formality to talk about either ambience or drinks reviewed or quality of service. Drinks reviewed: But, for the uninformed public at large, large ones are priced around Rs.75-80 and the BoB is 0.75-0.85. The non-alcoholic Pineapple Blossom is a hot favourite with the ladies.

Amber was one of my favorite restaurant in 1980's and surprisingly it still is. They have the best chicken reshmi I have eaten anywhere. Their chola (dry) is the best in the vegi part of the cusine. Amber may not have the best ambiance but it has the best punjabi food in Kolkata.
