Amber Aldgate East is a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant at 21 Piazza Walk in Goodman’s Fields. Named after the historic Amber Road trade route, it connects the founder's family tradition of generous hospitality with the flavours of travel and modern London.
Sharing dishes lead the dinner menu, beginning with hummus and grilled pita before moving through vegetables, seafood and meat. Fried cauliflower with green tahini and pomegranate, grilled chicken with preserved lemon, and lamb shoulder with smoked aubergine illustrate the kitchen's use of spice, smoke and bright sauces.
Breakfast and brunch extend the restaurant into the weekend morning, while weekday lunch offers a lighter entry to the same style of cooking. Vegetarian sharing menus are available, and the natural emphasis on dips, grains and vegetables gives meat free diners meaningful choice.
Mango baklava brings filo, pistachio, fruit and mascarpone together for dessert. With group menus, corporate dining and private hire support, Amber works as well for a celebration as it does for a casual meal built around several plates shared across the table.
Address: Goodman’s Fields, 21 Piazza Walk, London E1 8QH, England
