Mi primer visita al Ambar, sin conocer si fuese un restaurante español podría decir que hicimos un tapeo. Sus platos llenos de color, sabores intensos. Sus vinos únicos. Una buena barra de tragos. Sus dulces fueron el cierre perfecto. Ambiente muy agradable.

Ambar is amazing. The price is reasonable and the food is fantastic. It's perfect for 2 or 3 people since they are small plates. But since it is all you can eat, you can order things just to try and are not wasting a lot of food if you don't enjoy it. 10/10

Excellent choice for a brunch, great food and drink, attentive service

Second time dining at Ambar. Can’t wait for next time. Pricey but worth it. Servers did a great job. Birthday visit and they brought out a free desert for my wife. Thanks.

I came back after a few years to my one of my favorites, and Ambar didn't disappoint! We love the ability to try so many different yummy dishes with which we aren't typically familiar; and during these cold months, the food is a great compliment. Also, if you are adventurous, try the Forest Gnocchi for dessert--it's fun and worth it.

Absolutely the best experience dining I have ever had. The food was great and the staff was great. Ambar will be a must stop every time I am in D.C..

Fantastic. My visitors from out of town will always insist on going again. Paul is the best - give him a raise!!

Excellent food and service. With all you can eat, you'd maybe expect the server to discourage you from ordering too much, but instead they were welcoming and helpful with recommendations. It was really great

I enjoyed myself too much to take pictures however I love this place! Highly recommend. I love the Ambar experience!

Many of the dishes were too salty. Our waiter was wonderful.

The food was great and the service was awesome! We had cocktails pre dinner and then had mezzes for dinner with a lush red wine.

To celebrate my wife's 70th birthday, we decided to try this highly rated Balkan restaurant. At our waiter's suggestion, we purchased the 44.99 eat all you can in two hours sampler. Most of the tiny dishes were very good to excellent with no real disappointments. The highlight of our meal was the beet tzatziki with naan and fried bread. Outstanding appetizer!! We ordered it three times. The highlight of the evening was our waiter, Carlos, who patiently explained the ordering process and occasionally offered his own opinions and preferences to guide us gently along. He also delivered a surprise birthday dish to my wife at the end of the meal. The upstairs dining area was quieter, it seemed, than downstairs, and warmer. The ambiance was very pleasing. The event was a little on the expensive side but for the service and unique experience it was worth it.

I had a late lunch here on a quiet January afternoon and was impressed with the service and the food. We had the $25 express lunch which has a large menu. Stand-outs were the grilled pork neck, the ajvar and the slow roasted lamb which was delicious - it is very rich with fat. We liked the pork and ajvar so much we ordered a take-out portion. We were excited about the cheese pie but unfortunately it was very dry. Pita bread and the cornbread were great. The highlight was the service - friendly, prompt and courteous.

Amazing food, amazing service, love the vibes. Zero complaints!

It was really great,
I love to eat excellent food and to have small amounts of lots of different types of food and that’s exactly what this restaurant offers
The food is above average superior quality and for a flat fee you can get any of the food and drink on the main menu which is extensive.
I can’t believe I haven’t been here before and I’m planning on taking everyone I know to this restaurant
Plus our server who seem to be one of the managers was excellent

Always a great experience! Food quality is amazing. Service is great. Strongly recommend!

Great food and service.

Such an amazing brunch… checkin had me a little on edge as so many people love this place… it was busy to checkin even with a reservation, but it was worth the wait. Our servers were amazing. We had never been, but enjoyed the menu… tried so many of the brunch offerings. It was a great deal for tapas-style menu, ordered a little bit at a time ,plus amazing drinks. We sampled so many little plates and focused on getting Balkan plates to make sure we enjoyed the house fare. We got the drink special for $8.99 a person which included top notch mimosas with true fruit puree, homemade Bloody Mary’s, and house made sangria. We walked the street and other outlets were selling mimosas for $23 a person - really? We had amazing handcrafted drinks for $8.99 and an incredible Brunch menu of small plates and great service. The best!! I recommend 1000 percent!

Ambar is always amazing and it is our favorite spot in the city. Never disappoints. Food is amazing and the drinks are great! And service is always wonderful!

Excellent food with great service.

I always love Ambar but the NYD special was amazing! Such great food!

We had NYE's reservations and were extremely well taken care of. The food is delicious and I can't wait to go again when I visit D.C.

Customer service, food and whole experience is always OUTSTANDING! ❤️❤️

My boyfriend and I went to Ambar for NYE. We sat at the bar and our server, David, was really great. Food overall was pretty good - we got the NYE unlimited food special so we were able to try a bunch of different dishes

Food was amazinggg !! We came for NYE, they had a special going for unlimited small plates for a flat fee per person. We definitely got our moneys worth by making sure to not have eaten lunch earlier in the day and we tried a ton of different food. Service was fair, in the beginning he was very attentive and explained the ordering process well (not many people there at that time) but midway through our meal he got sat with several tables at once and I felt like he had way to much to keep track of (he was also making drinks at the bar). I think if he wasn’t slammed with tables all at once and didn’t have to make drinks for everyone he would have continued to have been a great server. Overall If you are looking for a tasting experience this is the place to go! Just be prepared for a hefty bill at the end.

Ambar never disappoints. Food is always outstanding. Service always excellent. We love eating outside. My only constructive comment would be that it would be nice if they dressed up the outdoor dining area just a little bit—-and especially create more separation from the diners at Matchbox. When we were last at Ambar eating outside, there was one table of diners at the Matchbox area and they were so incredibly loud it was unreal. It was almost like they were just daring someone to ask them to quiet down. It put a damper on our enjoyment of our experience at Ambar.

Once again another azing lunch at Ambar. The food is sensational and the fixed price lunch is the best bargain in DC. Service was very slow, but that us expected in these times. A must go to restaurant.

It’s not the same ambar- menu has changed so much

This restaurant is phenomenal! Everything was exceptional to include all the servers and staff! This will be a location I ensure I visit every time I come to the area. You will not be disappointed!

Awesome place!!

Waitress was outstanding, food is delicious.

Great maravilloso

The food ambiance and service was EXCELLENT! Ambar is one of my favorite restaurants… it’s soooo much fun and each
Dish we tried was delicious!! We definitely will be back!!

Fantastic as always. Margaritas were also very good

Took my family to Ambar for a holiday dinner and had an amazing time. The unlimited selections for food and drinks is really a great experience for family and groups.
