My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Ambar serves Balkan cooking through an unlimited, all-you-can-eat small-plates format, a structure that shapes the pacing and portion sizes of the whole meal. The menu pulls from across the Balkan region: cheese pie, stuffed cabbage, sarma, drunken mussels, flatbread, lamb, and a rotating lineup of soups alongside the core tapas lineup.

Brunch has become its own destination here, with weekend regulars building mornings around the same unlimited format that anchors dinner. Diners consistently point to the kitchen's authenticity and value, calling out generous portions and a lively room as reasons the format keeps its following, even as execution can vary plate to plate.
