Amba
About
Amba is an East Mediterranean cafe in Cambridge serving rotisserie chicken, mezze, pitas, pastries and coffee as part of an all-day menu. The signature chicken is brined in citrus, peppercorns and herbs, rubbed with shawarma spice, slow-cooked on the rotisserie and finished with dried rose petals. It comes as a half bird or as a meal with pita, sides, sauces and mezze, and the kitchen roasts fresh every day.
The mezze spread includes hummus, green feta dip, muhammara, baba ganoush and marinated olives with pita. Other dishes include a spiced lamb-stuffed pita with zhoug, Greek yogurt and tomato jam; crinkle-cut fries tossed in ras el hanout with shawarma sauce and optional falafel, chicken, mushrooms or lamb kofte; and a farro salad with cucumber, tomato and feta. Greek yogurt with dukkah-spiced granola and pomegranate is also on the menu, alongside the coffee and pastries.
