AMBAR

After what felt like months of jam-packed weekends, we finally found ourselves with a free night.  What better to do than eat!  We hit an old standby, Ambar.  They specialize in Balkan cuisine, which may not sound very appetizing, but to the contrary.

Ambar offers a bottomless food AND drink option for $49.  If you don’t want the drink pairing, it is normally $40, however they were running a special when we went for $35.  All you can eat for $35?  Yes, please!

To maximize your money, go light on the spreads/breads and go to town on the meats.  Why waste stomach space on fillers?  I think the server was on to us, as he delivered some salads mid-way through that we didn’t order…

If you’re indecisive, the server can take the lead and order for you.  Or, if you don’t think you’ll eat $35 worth of food, you can order à la carte.

They also have a location in Arlington, VA, and Belgrade, Serbia, if you’re looking to take a bit of a trip.
