About

Ambar pairs Balkan small plates with an all-you-can-eat brunch and dinner format; recent vegan diners call out seasoned fried cauliflower, roasted cauliflower, and cannellini beans. Expect a lively group meal with attentive staff who’ve been praised for explaining ingredients and modifying dishes, though one diner found the regular-night cost too high.
