We had an incredible experience at Ambar! The service from Juan was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The traditional Balkan food was outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The cevapi was our favorite dish! Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend Ambar for anyone looking for a warm atmosphere and authentic, delicious food!
