Amba restaurant in Hale receives a good review from Manchester Confidential

Aug. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The Amba restaurant in Hale recently received a top review from Manchester Confidential reviewer Jill Burdett. The British Manchester restaurant was praised for its locally sourced produce, hearty portions and homemade desserts.  

The Hale restaurant occupies the building that was once home to the Hale Wine Bar. While Burdett felt that the entrance bar area - with its dark wood and padded booths - was too clubby, the dining area had a much brighter feel with its simple tables, white panelled roof and feature lighting.

The Manchester Confidential reviewer was also impressed with the menu. Amba has a specially designed seasonal set lunch and dinner where great emphasis is placed on fresh food and natural produce. Ingredients are sourced from small suppliers so that the Hale restaurant can support local business and provide diners with the best possible produce.

Burdett was most impressed with the hearty main meals, which have proven popular with Hale residents looking to sate a healthy appetite. She described the three thick slices of pan fried duck as nicely pink and its accompanying vanilla and lime mash as inspired. The rump of lamp was also tasted, which came with grilled vegetables and delicious gravy.

Burdett also selected two of the starters. From the Amba Hale menu, she chose an asparagus soup   accompanied by homemade bread. She also tried the pan fried mackerel fillet, which was succulent despite its worryingly crisp skin.

The Amba restaurant (http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/Food-and-Drink/Br...) dessert menu boasts a selection of homemade tarts and puddings. Burdett tried the cherry Bakewell tart, which she described as light and almondy as well as the treacle tart, which contained a dash of lemon to prevent the dessert from becoming too cloying.

The Manchester Confidential reviewer gave the Amba restaurant an overall score of 15.5 out of 20, saying "I want to eat it all". When searching for top Manchester restaurants (http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/Food-and-Drink/) in Altrincham and Hale, Amba offers you hearty meals and homemade desserts within a bright and calm dining environment.
