group has permanently closed its restaurant at San Jose’s swanky Santana Row, with its owner saying the decline of in-person work at local offices has “adversely affected” lunch business at the upscale restaurant.“Our lease after 20 years came to an end this May, and to renew the lease we would have to pay a much higher rent and were expected to make a lot of changes,” owner Vijay Bist said.
Amber India’s inaugural Silicon Valley restaurant, in 1994, was on the Peninsula . “The timing was perfect,” a later Mercury News interview with Bist said. “What may have seemed like exotic food to native Californians back then was a taste of home to the many software engineers who hailed from Asia’s subcontinent, Bist says.”
