AMBAR Restaurant, Capitol Hill

I was trying to get my family to come here for a few days while staying nearby. We did the unlimited lunch ($33), didn't get the unlinited drinks just bc we wanted espresso martinis but there is a good lunch drink deal too. Absolutely everything (and we got almost everything) was amazing. So so good. Fast, food service. Wish we ate slower if anything. The brussel sprouts and beet tzatiki were a stand out. But really everything was great. Would recommend to everyone. Great outdoor seating too.

We had really high hopes about the food based on all the reviews that we had seen- but the food was disappointing- especially the meat and fish. The spreads and veggies were really good especially rhe carrot, tzatziki and eggplant moussaka. The meats were alright- the beef ghoulash was probably the best. The desserts were ok too. Baklava was a savior in all this. Service and ambience are both great. Overall didn’t feel worth the price- more quantity over quality

I was so excited when I heard of this place, and the reality outlived even my high expectations. We did the $32.99 all you can eat lunch special, and tried as much as we could- sadly couldn't fit everything in our stomachs, but would love to come back to try the rest. Everything was made with care, presented beautifully, and tasted spectacular. Special recognition for the lamb lasagna, all the dips (especially feta), the Balkan salad, and the fries. Our waiter was Melvin and he was the best, so warm and welcoming. Loved the ambience of the restaurant too. Last great thing to note was their allergen menu- a very clear lay out of all the allergens to note in any of their menu options, showing whether certain things could be modified to be allergen free. Would come back in a heartbeat.

I am sooo impressed! We came here due to my hubby randomly looking for good restaurants in DC…. Best decision ever, contemplating on celebrating our anniversary here this year. Melvin, our server, was top notch! We had no idea what to order and asked him to just pick for us… Everything was absolutely amazing!!! A must pick for anyone looking to have great food with amazing customer service!

Fun spot and great service with so much space! We were able to get in on a Friday night with no reservation. There are 3 floors, with a different vibe on each floor. No elevator, but there’s still an accessible entrance with a ramp. There’s an all you can eat experience for $50 - really good deal. We used inKind to pay, so got a deal with that too - use my referral and you will too: HO75U4TN We ended up doing the a la cart menu but I’d go back to try the unlimited another time!
