Grow with AMBA

More tables. Same family recipes.

We’re growing, and we’re looking for the right people to help bring AMBA to more neighborhoods.

Why AMBA

What we’ve built on Route 59.

Built in front of you

Every bowl, wrap and pita is made to order where guests can watch, and taste first if they want.

Family recipes, real crew

Four brothers, their parents’ Lebanese recipes, and a crew that treats every guest like family.

Guests who come back

4.7 on Google with hundreds of five-star reviews since we opened in fall 2021.

More than lunch

Family meals, party trays and bowl bars for offices, parties and weddings.
