Wow just wow!!! 5 stars Plus! Its been awhile since I was impressed by the food and service the rest was bonus. I'm a big fan of Cafe Medina, its my go to place for brunch, but have never tried Chambar until now, and sad to say I've been missing out. While reading reviews and recommended by friends I knew it was time to try Chambar. I was really scared to come to a place like this with a big party. I reserved a table for 11 for my birthday, reso was for 5:30 on a holiday Monday with a limit of 2.5 hours. The drinks menu: I heard this place had a great selection of imported beers and tasty cocktails. I'm not a beer drinker but the selection looked impressive and the guys and gals in my table loved it. Me on the other hand tried the Pineapple Express and a glass of Wynn's Cab Sauvignon. I'm a sucker for anything with pineapple it was delish and wine went well with dinner. The food: In numerous occasion I've heard nothing but good things about the food and I had to try the "moules and frites" I stared with a green salad, nice light dressing really enjoyed it. For main I ordered the highly recommended moules and frites congolaise- mussels with tomato coconut cream sauce, it was a generous portion and yes it was yummmmy! The sauce was very rich, chunks of tomatoes or onions (it was a little dark to see what I was actually eating but it didn't matter) and lots of mussels. And it came with really good pomme frites with a dipping sauce. My husband ordered the Tajine d'aziz a l'agneau which I tried and wow it was amazing, at first we thought it would taste "different" with honey, figs, cinnamon and cilantro but that flavors just worked well together. And the more you eat it the better it tasted, I felt like I was in Morocco. The rest of the table was speechless (always a good sign when it comes to food). Amazing Service! Where do I begin, 1st taking a large party, surprisingly a lot of smaller establishments in downtown don't take larger parties over 6. They allowed us to bring a birthday cake (brownie points), one of the couple in our party came really late and yet they received there food at the same time as the rest of the table, every 5-10 minutes someone came by just to check up on us without being annoying, water lots of water I love places that refill water like its goin out of style. Our main server was super nice, only thing is we didn't know her name. 2.5 hours go by fast when having fun and eating great food, but we never felt rushed at all. The ambiance is nice comfortable yet modern and edgy, the feel of a high end restaurant without feeling too stuffy ie no white table cloths here. When you walk in, you are greeted by a large bar and a view of the rest of the restaurant. The expose brick gives it that downtown feel and the lighting yes a little dark makes it feel intimate. Our table was in the middle of the room which I really liked but still felt like we had a private function. I would defiantly come back even just for drinks but I'm a fan of the food. This place is wonderful! Thank you for making my birthday an amazing one. Cheers

I came here on a company dinner and it was an amazing dining experience. The staff were all very professional and the dining room was spacious and elegant. Here's what I got: Spinach and pear salad: delicious - plenty of spinach, pear lightly roasted, pancetta good. Seafood risotto: I'm usually not a fan of risotto but this one was very good. Big portions, very flavorful, plenty of seafood, scallops were large and fresh Tiramisu: ok, not memorable. Even though it is $$$, the quality of the food is worth it. Would come again.

The food is really good, decent portions and the staff is very attentive. The atmosphere could use some updating but they make up for it with good food.

The wine was good... The name says it all... The dish I ate was overly salty - so much so that it was difficult to taste what the food was really like. I actually sent my first plate back, which I have never done before! I got the pork shoulder and it was so tough I couldn't cut it with my fork and knife. It's quite difficult to make a pork shoulder inedible unless the meat has been frozen for a while... Perhaps it was that I asked for my plate without lentils (I had a bad experience with lentils and can't stand them, but I loved the sound of the rest of the dish) - the chef seemed off-put by my request, or at least it sounded so coming from the waitress. I ended up with the Campanelle, which was just, as I said, way too salty. I wish I had just cooked at home and bought a bottle of montepulciano (which would have been basically the same cost as the glass I got at the restaurant). It's such a shame because my friend recommended the restaurant so highly!

Literally haven't gone in here for a while because the prices keep going up but I do love their food so I thought I'd just suck it up and go in.....worst decision ever! I ordered a specific order and two ranches because I am obsessed with their ranch and what do I get?? They mixed up how many I wanted in each sauce...I got two blue cheeses which I hate and finally the fries were over cooked which I normally like but they were literally hard and cold. Like are you serious?? They did give me a fully refund but like that doesn't make up for the fact that I got crappy food and don't get to satisfy my cravings for their what I thought was good food.

Went there last night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. We got the mussels appetizer and they were delicious. The broth had a slight unexpected kick and was so good. The kale Caesar salad was really good. Loved the anchovies on it. I would recommend this place id in L5P
