Discovering Local Eats in Aldgate East

Wondering where our Aldgate East members go for lunch? This week, our Runway East site manager, Danica, tried Unity Healthcare’s favourite food spot. Read on to hear about her lunch adventure.

A Visit to Amber, Aldgate East

Just five minutes down the road, Amber is a cosy Middle Eastern restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, serving the most delicious and mouth-watering meals. It’s the perfect spot for a quick lunch bite or a catch-up with a colleague.

What’s on the Menu?

With vibrant mezze plates, roasted vegetables, and freshly baked flatbreads bursting with flavour, you can’t go wrong with a meal at Amber. The wraps are packed with tender, well-seasoned fillings, and the salads are crisp, fresh, and perfectly dressed. Every dish is a mix of textures and colours, from the creamy hummus to the golden falafel.

For a simple, hearty, and flavourful Middle Eastern meal, I chose the baked potatoes, corn pitta and a refreshing side of tabbouleh salad. I topped it off with an Elderflower lemonade. It was tasty, filling, and just the right boost for the afternoon. 

A Spot Loved by Locals

I enjoyed a few minutes of calm while soaking up the lively atmosphere. Amber was bustling with people popping in for lunch, which really showed how popular it is in Aldgate East.

If you’re nearby, I’d definitely recommend stopping by Amber. No wonder it's our members’ favourite! Whether for a quiet solo lunch like mine or a casual meal with friends, it’s a little local gem with fresh Middle Eastern dishes, around the corner from Runway East Aldgate East.
