Our First Restaurant: Amber

Amber is our beloved first restaurant, a vibrant all-day dining destination in Aldgate East that celebrates the bold, fresh flavors of the Mediterranean and Middle East. Since opening, it has become a neighbourhood favourite for its warm hospitality and seasonal menus. Located just moments from Ara, Amber continues to inspire—from our Eastern Mediterranean roots to our modern London spirit.
