Amber in Mountain View: so many dishes, so few diners

[dordogne]

Two of us will fittingly follow a showing of the Apu trilogy at Stanford with dinner at Amber. The menu is so vast--any recommendations of real standouts, espcially among the lamb dishes, biryanis, starters?

Try the goan fish curry. The tender halibut is perfectly cooked and the curry delicious. Not your typical indian dish but its a real winner.

You can rely on the expert waitstaff for suggestions to match your tastes.

I have copied and pasted these from the dinner menu on Amber India's site:
