San Francisco, March 2026 – Amber India is celebrating the vibrant festival of Holi with an exclusive, limited-time menu designed to offer guests a festive culinary experience during Indian Restaurant Week in San Francisco. Curated under the expert guidance of Specialty Chef Ram Pratap Singh Kushwah, the special Holi menu blends India’s rich culinary heritage with contemporary flavors, offering a refined yet festive journey of taste.
A Colorful and Creative Celebration of Holi
Holi, known for its vibrancy and joy, has inspired Amber India’s team to create a menu that embodies the spirit of the festival through color, creativity, and bold flavors. The menu features dishes that reflect the warmth, diversity, and liveliness of Holi while combining traditional Indian recipes with innovative culinary techniques.
The culinary experience begins with an elegant amuse-bouche that sets the tone for the meal. Guests can indulge in a delightful trio of Tandoori Avocado Chaat, Khandvi, and Paniyaram. Each dish offers a playful twist on regional favorites, with vibrant ingredients that represent the essence of Holi’s joyful celebration.
Appetizer Course: A Fusion of Spices and Regional Influences
Amber India’s Holi Special Menu provides a wide range of appetizers that cater to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. For vegetarians, the Asparagus Dahi Kebab & Malabari Mushroom is a perfect choice. This dish showcases balanced textures and rich aromatic spices, offering a light yet flavorful start to the meal. Non-vegetarian diners can enjoy Tandoori Chimichurri Chicken Breast & Prawn Pepper Fry. These dishes bring together smoky tandoor flavors with bold coastal influences, combining the best of both worlds in every bite.
Main Course: A Royal Culinary Experience
The entrée course offers guests the option to indulge in royal specialties inspired by India’s rich culinary traditions. The vegetarian highlight, Royal Awadhi Paneer, features cottage cheese in a pumpkin-infused gravy, enhanced with cream, nuts, and fragrant spices. This dish captures the essence of Awadhi cuisine, offering a rich and luxurious experience.
For those seeking non-vegetarian options, the Awadhi Lamb Chops are an indulgent choice. Slow-cooked in a brown onion and yogurt-based sauce, these lamb chops are packed with deep, comforting flavors. Alternatively, Kashmiri Murgh Gustaba, delicate chicken meatballs simmered in a smooth, mildly spiced yogurt gravy, offers another excellent option. The entrées are served alongside Dal Amber, a curated Bread Basket, and Zaffrani Pulao, a fragrant rice dish, rounding out the meal with a truly royal touch.
A Sweet Conclusion to the Festivities
No Holi celebration is complete without a sweet ending, and Amber India delivers with two decadent desserts that creatively blend traditional Indian flavors with contemporary presentation. Elaneer Pudding, a coconut-based dessert, and Mango Kulfi Tiramisu, a fusion of classic tiramisu and Indian kulfi flavors, offer a deliciously unique conclusion to the meal.
