If you have desire to make selfies with food and post it on social media, this might be the place you want to visit. If you want to eat, especially "European style" food, you are 5000 miles away from it. Except Sarma, maybe, food is...way of the taste, you would expect to eat. Portions are laughable for the price you pay (plus parking and tip). If you are hungry, go somewhere else. Style over substance is the best description of this place.More

First time visit to Ambar, and we chose the all you can eat option. We asked our server to make suggestions of the best variety of dishes to sample that would allow us to enjoy the menu. The dishes kept coming, and each gave us...samplings from each area of the broad menu. We ate until we could eat no longer in one sitting. We will definitely return to enjoy more of the Ambar menu!More

Honestly this place is one of my favorite restaurants in the DC area. Its a fantastic spot to take a date, and the food is very delicious. the spreads and special bread they serve there alone is worth the money. Yes the restaurant is a...little pricey but well worth it. Brunch at Ambar, honestly is so much fun to go with a bunch of friends. **Pro-Tip** if you go to Costco and buy the gift cards, you can save like 20%, don't tell no one!More

Solid as always. They keep improving while maintaining the favorites. Great staff as well, mostly Balkan which makes a difference!

Ambar is an ideal resto if you want fantastic and fast service, and a wide assortment of delicious food. We opted for the unlimited small plates for $35 a person, and enjoyed everything from grilled shrimp skewers to roasted brussel sprouts to cheese pies. The...options are many, and just about everything we had was really good. The drunken mussels were a touch disappointing, as they were so small and one didn't even have meat in it, and I've had better seared salmon, but everything else was great--especially the shrimp and all the veg plates (like the brussel sprouts and asparagus). The service was excellent: prompt, attentive, friendly. No complaints at all. I liked that they were fast w/ bringing out the small plates as well, as opposed to other tapas restos where the wait between plates can be far too long. Chill atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating... Would recommend and would eat here again.More

We recently ordered curbside pickup from Ambar. What we got, in addition to our chicken kabobs, was a multicourse feast for two. All of the many side dishes were outstanding. We'll be back.

We got take out for 2 during summer restaurant week and it was fantastic! Everything we ate was delicious and there was more than enough food for the 2 of us. Ended up having enough for 1 for lunch the next day.
