The Balkan Burger here is fantastic, the patty is almost like kabob , with onions are mixed in with the meat. It hast cucumber-yogurt and a roasted pepper cheese spread. A unique and delicious burger !
Our table purchased the $49 each unlimited special and we were not disappointed! The cocktails and all sorts of tapas were awesome and the service was so friendly and informative. It was wonderful!
Like other Sandoval restaurants , it features the $35 unlimited brunch , but here they serve full size portions and items like the Olivier Salad with Prosciutto and Balkan Burger are simply delicious!
Great food, great service. Highlights were cheese spread, sesame salmon , mushroom crepes , Brussels sprouts and for dessert : apple pie and forest “gnocchi ” ????
The mojitos , the pork , the salmon , the Brussels sprouts .... all are to die for. Great food, drinks and service from Bisan. Came for a friend's birthday and it was the perfect experience.
Came for restaurant and did the unlimited deal. All I can say is I’ll be back to try everything I didn’t eat because we got full. Try the orange chocolate gnocchi dessert even if you can’t eat more!
Love this restaurant ! Great service and great food. LOVE the breads they make! Goes so nicely with all of the spreads and cheeses . Balkan cheese , lamb&veal sausage , Brussel sprouts , Balkan salad , etc!
Brunch does not disappoint! The cheese pie , meat pie , and the cinnamon sweet truffle sourdough stole the show. Great meal with great service.
We had the red quinoa salad ,the drunken mussels , and the ambar burguer . For dessert , the forest gnocchi (to share). Everything was excellent!
The Balkan panini and Balkan burger were amazing. The traditional mimosa was a little strong, but the ambar mimosa was sensational. Balkan food is the bomb, always and forever. Very underrated
Lovely dinner , introduced the kids to a huge variety of new foods, we really like the tapas ! It's a bit loud if any kids or adults are sensitive to noise, but the food was awesome!
Order the delicious and creamy Drunken Mussels – Dagnje: rakija, garlic , capers , lemon , somun, & cream.
Go for the bottomless brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! Don't miss the cinnamon sourdoughs and mini waffles ! Read more
A tribute to the former Yugoslavia and a style of cooking influenced by Greece, Turkey , Austria and Hungary. A bread basket ($6) introduces diners to recurring accents in the Serbian repertoire. Read more
The rustic , two-floor room is no mere novelty act. Influenced by Greece, Turkey , Austria and Hungary, the robust food is good anytime, fall and winter best of all.
Love this place!! Went on my birthday for bottomless drinks and small plates and had one of the best birthdays yet. Great service too!
It was a real treat to have such a tasty variety. We came in out of the rain seeking shelter and what we discovered was a revelation in every bite!
You must do the Balkan Experience , well worth the price, every dish is amazing. Don't leave without a shot of rakija.
All dishes are served similar to tapas . Balkan Salad . Balkan Kabab and the Hummus are a few of my favorites ☆☆☆☆☆
Great food and service. Brussels sprouts on yogurt with bacon was especially amazing. As was the Kajmak bar spreads. Amaze-balls
The potatoes and the mussels were fantastic! There is a happy hour from 4 to 7 many things at 5 boxes!
Gotta do the Balkan Experience - $50 unlimited drinks and small plates . Steak frites and salmon were my favorites.
Great food, great service, great ambiance. The gnocci forest dessert was sooo good. Don't miss this spot!
Best cheap hh in cap hill . Largest selection of rakia in dc. My Serbian friends approve.
Skip the main dining room at sit at the bar upstairs. Order the sour cabbage , it’s fantastic
unlimited brunch is fantastic!! the cinnamon sweet sourdough fritters with Nutella...to die for!!
Great margaritas & service is awesome, loved the outdoor patio ambiance too
The Balkan Experience is amazing- defer to your waiter and have them bring you all their favorites
The Balkan experience $35, buys you unlimited delicious plates of everything!
Do all you can eat / bottomless. Meat dishes are good, but be sure to try all spreads.
All you can eat/drink brunch is the best deal in the city .
The Bitches Say: B+. All-in-all, Ambar is a mixed bag. An A+ for decor and ambiance, a C for service, and a B for cuisine. Making its final grade a B+.
The drunken mussels are amazing! Some of the best mussels I've had in DC.
Love this place! Great atmosphere, super friendly service !
Great for brunch . The mimosas were amazing and you have to try the fried apples .
Try the Ђевапи (chevapi). It is delicious!
Bottomless small plates AND drinks. Balkan kebab is amazing. Balkan beer is mediocre.
food and drinks are great with a lively atmosphere
Absolutely love the rooftop here. Perfect mix of peaceful and party.
$4 happy hour cocktails and tapas (get the leek croquettes !)
Every Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4, unlimited small plates and cocktails for $35
Zucchini !!! <3 it was soooo good. Amazing service as always.
Authentic Balkan (Serbian) food.
They have a great wine list . Ask your waiter for recommendations.
my first tapas experience. amazing. got very drunk.
Both times we’ve gone the staff has been difficult and unaccommodating
Try the lemonade and the hummus !
It was ok. Portions are small (specially compared to the traditional). However it features authentic tastes and great quality of food. Overall a bit overpriced.
The brunch deal is SO worth it
The food is good enough (except the overcooked pork tenderloin ) to take the bad taste of generic lounge music out of your mouth.
Everything is delicious. Khachapuri however is a can’t miss. Make sure to get the cheese boat one if it’s your first time! - Brooke Harding
Go for the nitro coffee and a slice of toast with Maldon Salt and Nutella. Or wait until Sunday when creme brûlée french toast hits the menu. 100% worth it. - David DyTang
Sit at the kitchen counter; get the brisket. Great service, vibe & food! - Gabriela Schneider
Great weekend market full of artisans, food, and antiques. Be sure to ask about the origin of the foods in the farmer's market; not all the vendors use local produce. - Capital Spice
Everything is delicioso and fresh. Don't leave w out a fresh baked pop tart - B. Supreme-Hurtado
