About Amba

Amba is the newest addition to Chef Douglas Katz and Todd Thompson’s restaurant group.

Located in the Hingetown neighborhood of Ohio City, Amba’s menu of small plates pays homage to the flavors and ingredients of India.

Amba is one of the indian restaurants listed in Cleveland, Ohio. The business is registered at 1430 W 28th St, Cleveland, OH 44113; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 4–10 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Its website is ambacle.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 647 reviews, which is a strong result for an indian restaurant in Cleveland and suggests consistent service.

Super cute aesthetic. I’m so proud cleveland is stepping it up! The food was good and the bartender in the back bar was very nice and sweet. We enjoyed everything the drinks were great! will try again in the future.

We went here the other night. I hadn't been in about a year. The food was absolutely excellent. I'd recommend everything we had: the smashed pea samosas, basil chicken, the paneer, wok green bean, naan bread, and everything in my photos. I'm also a big fan of the dark, fragrant atmosphere. Its very unique and calming.

Amba has committed full-force to their vibe & aesthetic. It's dark, moody, and ultra modern. From the staff to the menu selections, it's nothing like a classic Indian cuisine. For good or bad, this one will stretch your experience with Indian food. With the right group, a sharable plates situation is super fun and a great way to try things you'd never pick on your own. We enjoyed everything we had - but felt that the samosa strayed a bit far from home and the lack of any included bread/rice with some plates (available separately, though!) was a bit too trendy. Enjoyable and unique, we are already eyeing up a whole different set of dishes to try on a future visit. Will be interested to see how/if the menu gets refreshed/rotated in the future to keep things fresh and new!

All of the dishes were creative - Indian fusion, very tasty. I especially liked the lamb kebabs and the samosa cutlets! I loved the nimbu masala drink - it’s like a spiced lemonade. Very dimly lit, so definitely an upscale or romantic atmosphere.

The food at Amba is amazing. Everyone from the host, servers and bartender were awesome. They have a huge amount of gluten free options and every we had was awesome. The atmosphere had great vibes and our whole experience was great. We tried 5 sharables dishes and 2 sharable desserts. The Sloppy joes, cheese paneer, and shrimp in Ghee were awesome. The Gluten free flatbread was a great addition to the dishes. The cucumber salad was fresh and the chickpea fritters were amazing with the sauce it came with. We wanted to try more but just didn't have the stomach space knowing we were going to have dessert. Both the icebox cake and chocolate torte were awesome, but the chocolate torte shines. I'm not a chocolate fan and I couldn't stop eating it. Also don't forget about some of their specialty cocktails. So many options that were amazing. Too many to chose from for one visit. We will be back! Thank you for a great evening!
