Amber Leaf London is a contemporary dining destination located in the heart of Greater London. Nestled within the vibrant neighbourhood of Hackney, the restaurant offers a modern take on Indian cuisine, blending traditional recipes from the regions of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh with innovative presentation and a touch of modern elegance.
Inside, Amber Leaf brings a minimalist backdrop, complete with a neutral colour palette that spans from the intricate artwork to the marble-topped tables. Intricate light fixtures add a warm glow to the room whilst potted plants bring a touch of colour. Its stylish interior and relaxed atmosphere make it an appealing choice for both casual meals and special occasions.
The menu at Amber Leaf London showcases a diverse range of dishes inspired by regional Indian cooking, following the mantra that ‘true flavour can’t be rushed’. Guests can expect a mix of small plates, sharing platters, and hearty mains, with vegetarian and vegan options clearly highlighted. Begin with the likes of tandoor-roasted paneer stuffed with golden apricot, or royal mustard salmon tikka marinated in creamy yoghurt and plenty of spices.
Moving onto mains, Amber Leaf offers lamb rogan josh and butter chicken, alongside slow-cooked black lentil dal makhni, or Grandmother’s palak chicken which is inspired by recipes that have been passed through generations. Guests can also choose from chicken, lamb or vegetable biryani, with an extensive selection of breads, rice and sauces to round out the experience. A set menu is also available, offering a three-course feast at a very affordable price. Expect dishes such as king prawns with black pepper or fish cooked in a fragrant coconut curry.
Alongside the traditional menu, Amber Leaf also offers bottomless brunch, complete with free-flowing Prosecco, Mimosas, Spritzes and Bellinis, or afternoon tea which includes finger sandwiches, warm scones and bite-sized treats alongside a full tea selection or bottomless Prosecco.
