We tried Amba for breakfast and the cafe was not very busy on a weekday, but had nice atmosphere and was clean and decorated nicely. I ordered the breakfast pita and added lamb sausage and we also tried the spinach bureka. Both were really good the bureka had a lot of cheese and was heated for us. The pita had really good and unique flavours (garlic and herbs) but still tasted like a hearty breakfast sandwich. The lamb sausage was seasoned generously and the pita was fluffy and soft. My only caveat is I would probably prefer their lunchtime offerings - with more vegetables - as these were a tad salty. There might be better breakfast items but I didn’t try those yet!

Wings are amazing... A unique recipe that really hits the spot. Fries came out more perfect than most restaurant fries. The server could tell it was my first time and she was incredibly helpful. And, since I'm jetlagged, beer at 10:30am was very much appreciated. I will be back and I definitely recommend!

Excellent eggplant pita! The rest of our food was good too, but the chicken eaters among me said the chicken was on the dry side. I wish I had read more reviews in advance mentioning the large portions; they really were huge, and we over-ordered and ended up throwing food away, which was a bummer. We should have split a couple things - that would have been enough for two adults and two tween-aged kids. The sesame tahini cookie was excellent; definitely get one of those if you’re considering it.

We have enjoyed our food. It was very good and flavorful. Pitas look exactly on the menu pictures. If you go for an appetizer, main course, and a drink, total price per person will be around $45 with tips.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kelly Kuhlmann · Nov 2025

Delicious and fresh! The service was friendly and fast. I had the hummus bowl with chicken shawarma. So flavorful and satisfying. The pita was perfectly soft. Would definitely eat here again!
