• Middle Eastern • Aldgate

It’s about the journey, not the destination. That’s why we took our name from the Amber Road trade route. It reflects everything that makes us special – from our eastern mediterranean roots, to our modern London spirit. It inspired us to channel the flavours of our travels abroad and our heritage into one dining experience. A space where stories exchange hands as freely as the wine flows. This is Amber. A place where all are welcome.

    Food was excellent, if a little rich and creamy sometimes. We sat outside, which is nice, but has the ambience of sitting on a major highway. The drinks were amazing, the service friendly if a little disorganized, but overall an excellent evening.

    From my fair share of Italian fine dining experiences, La Tagliata stands out as one of the most memorable. Everything — from the food to the service and the ambiance — was executed flawlessly, with genuine attention to detail. What truly impressed me was how my request for a quiet corner table was not only acknowledged but thoughtfully accommodated, adding a special touch to our evening. The food was exceptional, especially the freshly baked focaccia and the burrata salad — both absolute standouts. I’d highly recommend this place for an intimate dinner date. The staff were incredibly courteous and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and cared for throughout. Honestly, it couldn’t have gone better.

    Food was incredible. I don’t think I’ve had better Italian. The pasta was cooked to perfect al dente, the ragu was seasoned perfectly and the veal so tender and flavorful. We all tried each other’s food and even liked dishes that didn’t appeal when just reading about them on the menu. The waiter was extremely polite and responsive and even brought us one extra of an appetizer item so we wouldn’t have to divide. The atmosphere is a slightly odd set-up, the only less than 100% about the restaurant, but it’s certainly not bad. We would happily go again - if only we lived in the UK.

    Lovely jazz bar near the Gherkin. Great music, really friendly helpful staff. Unlike some other music venues talking is not discouraged while the band is playing which makes for a nice vibe.
