I just went there for lunch and boy was I surprised. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in this neighborhood, but Amma stands out among the rest. The food is tasty, plentiful and the service was amazing. They are a 10 in my book! GGJ more

My husband and I had the vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairings. The service was very attentive and the food was wonderful. It was very filling and we couldn't finish the final course which they packed up for us to take home. Our vegetarian friend ate all the leftovers and he's a picky eater! We'll definitely go again. It's a... more

We made a reservation at Amma during Restaurant Week. That said, we knew going into it not to have high expectations....boy, were we blown away by not only the food but the stellar, attentive service! We started with the Tomato Rasam and Mughlai Chicken Shorba soups. The tomato soup had a wonderful afterburn and a terrific layering of flavors. The... more

Very nice and authentic indian food, it was really delicious... The waiter invested a lot of his time to explain us all plates with passion and details about where they come from and so on... Even if the decor is cosy and the tables well-dressed, the kitchen and service were fast and efficient... The price was even lower than shown... more

AMAZING. My friend and I tried this place b/c she was researching the chef for her Fulbright work in Indian... definitely worth writing about! Delicate tastes, robust flavors, combinations I never even heard of. If a typical Indian restaurant is a 5, this one is a 9 or 10... you will be THAT delighted! I try to go every time... more

We booked this restaurant after reading other reviews and are we ever glad we did! Please splurge and do the sampler menu ($50) with the wine (an additional $35). You get 3 glasses of wine with dinner and a dessert wine with dessert. The dinner is six courses with dessert as the seventh. You can choose vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Staff... more
