I usually come here on weekdays with my friends and we always have a good time. We always ask for Levi, he’s super attentive and nice. Highly recommend!

This place was great for a few reasons. First, the food itself was good. I like food from this region of the world, so I knew it would go over well. Second, It is small plates (which I generally hate, but for $35 each for...More

There are no full meals, only appetizer sizes, so you end up spending a lot for dinner. They do have deal where you get almost unlimited samples for a higher price.More

Food was fabulous. New cuisine for me & my friend and I loved it (visited the downtown DC location). Wait staff friendly and informative - but overworked. Noisy. Looking forward to trying the Arlington location.

Description
Our aim is to put together the finest products of the New World and Old World for your dining pleasure. Perennially on the edge of great empires, the Balkans owes much of its food culture to its history, geography, and climate. The term Balkan is generally believed to come from the Byzantine word meaning: "a chain of wooded mountains." With a desire to introduce Virginia to cutting edge Balkan cuisine, we created a dining space that will delight and indulge the senses. Primarily featuring "small plates," Ambar also offers wines and spirits from the Balkans not often experienced by the American diner. Ambar showcases the best dishes from the Balkan Peninsula with a modern twist. These dishes are presented artfully, with modern combinations that deliver the flavor profiles in a unique way. Serbian natives Ivan Iricanin and Uros Smiljanic developed the menu with the help of Executive Chef Dejan Pilovic .
