Amba Restaurant and Lounge - Restaurants in Manchester, North West - Food and Drink Guide, Restaurant Reviews

The ultimate in relaxed, casual neighbourhood dining, this exciting, consistently popular venue is open seven days a week. Amba's inviting interior offers a stylish, air-conditioned lounge-bar for 40 with living flame open fire, sofas, armchairs and stools, offering daytime tapas, famous cocktails and great beers.

Dining is accommodated on two floors for up to 94 guests, with full-view kitchens. Warm hues of magenta, sand and amber act as a backdrop to leather pottocco chairs, satin steel wenge tables and comfortable booths, affording sight of the architectural roof and huge Barcelona bronze hanging lights.

The impressive lunch, dinner and children's menus offer freshly prepared food using British produce, served in a contemporary style. From this season's starters, ginger hoi sin chicken skewers, smoked haddock croquettes with sweet and sour beetroot and the tempura tiger prawns, are all proving a runaway success. Amba's famous Mexican chicken, the Lakeland spiced rump of lamb and Fleetwood cod and chips, pea purée and mint tartar sauce always get top marks from the locals. Whatever your occasion, for two to 22, Amba has the menu for you.
