Amber India has launched an exclusive Holi Special Menu as part of Indian Restaurant Week San Francisco, bringing the festive energy of Holi to the Bay Area through a refined yet joyful culinary showcase.

Curated under the leadership of Specialty Chef Ram Pratap Singh Kushwah, the limited-edition menu celebrates the festival of colors by blending traditional Indian flavours with modern techniques. The result is a dining experience that feels festive, thoughtful, and rooted in contemporary Indian gastronomy.

Inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of Holi, the menu unfolds like a celebration on the plate. The experience begins with an Amuse-Bouche featuring Tandoori Avocado Chaat, Khandvi, and Paniyaram. This opening course sets the tone with colour, texture, and a nod to India’s diverse regional kitchens.

The Appetizer Course offers guests the option to choose between vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian selections include Asparagus Dahi Kebab & Malabari Mushroom, known for their balanced flavours and gentle spice notes. For non-vegetarian diners, the menu features Tandoori Chimichurri Chicken Breast & Prawn Pepper Fry, combining classic tandoor elements with bold coastal influences.

The Entrée Course draws inspiration from royal Indian culinary traditions. Vegetarian diners can enjoy Royal Awadhi Paneer, where cottage cheese is served in a pumpkin-infused gravy enriched with cream, nuts, and aromatic spices. Non-vegetarian highlights include Awadhi Lamb Chops, slow-cooked in a brown onion and yogurt-based sauce, and Kashmiri Murgh Gustaba, featuring tender chicken meatballs simmered in a smooth, mildly spiced yogurt gravy. These mains are paired with Dal Amber, a curated Bread Basket, and fragrant Zaffrani Pulao, completing the experience.

Desserts bring the celebration to a graceful close with Elaneer Pudding and Mango Kulfi Tiramisu, blending familiar Indian flavours with a modern presentation.

Speaking about the special menu, Chef Ram Pratap Singh Kushwah said:

“Holi is a celebration of colors, togetherness, and joy. With this menu, we wanted every dish to reflect those emotions, vibrant ingredients, bold flavors, and a balance of tradition with creativity. Our aim is to give guests an experience that feels festive, nostalgic, and exciting all at once.”

With this Holi Special Menu, Amber India continues to strengthen its presence in the Bay Area dining scene, offering guests a festive journey that celebrates culture, colour, and Indian culinary artistry during Indian Restaurant Week San Francisco.
