The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I had the Lamb Vindaloo spicey which had a good spice level without being overwhelming. At least for people fairly tolerant to capsaicin. read more

Great flavor! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would come back again! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. We felt cared for and got to meet the owner. The vibe was so nice- great temperature inside, clean bathroom, very nice music, and decor/color of the walls was very pleasant. They also serve halal meat Excited to come back soon. read more

This place is good for authentic Nepali food but not that great for any Indian curries based on my experience. The veg Sadheko Momo ( a must try ) and the Jhol Momo were great, the Noodles were good, but tried their paneer tikka masala and malai kofta and both turned out to be just ok. Both curries were too watery and could have been thicker and flavorful. Naan was ok and the kulcha was the same as Naan with onion stuffed in it. Wouldn't try any Indian curries again out here. Great ambience and service. Friendly staff. read more

Was there for lunch today. Large selection of dishes. Many found in other Indian restaurants. Their Himalayan Specialties are different and delicious. We had the steamed Momo with Chicken, Cauliflower appetizer, Chicken Tiki Masala and Vegetable Biryani and Naan. Everything was very tasty. I recommend trying them. Will go again. read more

Everything was delicious. Jhol momos were my favourite. Servers are really good. They explain related to dishes read more

We're always excited to give a new place a try, especially one that is earning positive Yelp reviews. We were told they had their grand opening three months ago. The host/server has a very happy and personable demeanor. He welcomed us warmly as we waited outside for our friend. We decided to order chicken momos to start. They reminded me of chicken dumplings with a slight kick and it came with a nice light dip. We all enjoyed our first time eating momos. During the weekday, they offer lunch specials so we ordered two chicken saag and one butter chicken lunch. The lunch specials come with a small serving of items including your entree, yellow dal, salad, papadum, naan bread and rice. The dal was delicious and my butter chicken was a delight. The guys enjoyed their saag too. The dishes are a nice serving for lunch. We liked the variety on our plates and it was a well-balanced meal. We would not hesitate to order the butter chicken and saag again. Their full menu is varied and extensive. This restaurant is next door to Terra Mia. It replaced the longtime establishment, China Villa. The interior is decorated tastefully and it was a comfortable space. There is plenty of parking shared with other businesses. read more

Came here for lunch with some coworkers. Be mindful of your time because they are not quick to bring out food. When we went there was only one other table with a group of six and we were a group of three, and it took a while to get our food. The staff was polite and the food was presented nicely and portioned just right. I had the coconut chicken medium spice which was delightful. I liked the small metal bowls the food came in it felt more authentic. I also had a side order of garlic cheese naan which was plenty for my meal and was worth every penny. I had leftover naan I took home to enjoy the next day. I didnt get any pictures of the food because I was in a hurry but all of it was tasty. I would definitely come back but maybe for dinner when I have more time to spare to enjoy my meal. read more

Overall we had a good dinner at Aama's kitchen. The restaurant was very cute and warm feeling. We ordered pani puri, chicken, and multiple momos. The pani puri was okay - I found it extra cold so it was a bit of a shock in my mouth. It could use more tamarind as well. The momos were overall okay. We got Sadeko, c momo, steam and Jhol. Our favorite ended up just being the classic steam here. The sauce was better here too. We stayed until the restaurant closed and the workers were all very accommodating. read more

We ordered fried momos (paneer), chow mein, chicken Thupka and cheese naan. Everything was delicious but fried momos were exceptionally good, almost no oil on the surface and the filling was too good. Neat and tidy seating and very friendly staff. read more

My daughter and I came him for our "date night. Ordered the tikka masala and chicken momo. Definitely coming back soon!

The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. The fish wrap is delicious. I would definitely return.

yummmm! good food, good vibes, feels like a home cooked meal. and they're open pretty late!

This one hurts, man. I ordered two chicken tikka masalas. Every time I've ordered chicken tikka masala before, it's been really good but this time, it didn't taste like chicken tikka at all. It tasted like watered down butter chicken with no flavor. When I called to let them know, the gentleman on the phone apologized and said they would note it for the future... lol. So I asked if there was anything they could do, and he said they could remake it if I came back. But after a few bites, I didn't feel like driving back I was already over it and didn't want it anymore. So I asked if they could just refund one of them since I didn't eat the other. He said he needed to talk to the manager and called me back, asking me to drive the unopened one back to get the refund... lol. I was kind and honest with the guy, but it's absolutely absurd that I needed to drive back just to return it for a refund. read more

We had takeout from Aama's a couple times, so it was finally time to visit in person. Aama's has been usually quite empty when I stop by. This was a Sunday evening evening at 5:30, no exception. The initial service was good. I ordered a yellow lentil soup, and mixed vegetable.pakora, both reasonably tasty. The Wife had veggie korma, very mild, and clearly not made with frozen veggies, while I ordered paneer tikka masala medium, and we were both pleased. The korma was appropriately mild for her. No dessert tonight, alas. But I did have a glass of Barbanera sangio, which went well with the creamy sauce. The service slowed waaay down when we were finishing up, which we thought was odd considering we were either alone, or almost alone in the dining room the whole time. But I understand that there's one guy serving,who is also manning the phone and preparing takeout packages. Small restaurants are like that. read more

Really nice Nepali restaurant very close to Livermore downtown!! They have the best steamed momos in town - soft and succulent meat and very juicy. We also tried chicken Choila and that was very good and also the chowmein - our kids loved this. Surely a must try for hot food and Nepali cuisine lovers! read more

The waiter made me feel very uncomfortable. When my food came, he told me multiple times there was a heart on my dish. And then when I got up to use the restroom, I caught him fully looking at my breast. Safe to say, I will never be coming back to this restaurant. The food was also very bland. read more

The waiter ogled my friend's body and made both of us very uncomfortable. He told her there was a heart drawn on the top of her food and made her acknowledge it, then backtracked and said it was a mango shape. At points during the meal, it felt like he was lingering to stare at her. When I went to pay at the register, he waited until my credit card had already been charged, then told me that he had "accidentally" applied a 20% auto-gratuity. There was a hair on my plate when I sat down. The samosas were pretty good. The rice was adequate and the dal was actively bad. read more

Yummy food, excellent service. Momos were really tasty. I will recommend this place if you like momos. Will definitely come again. read more

The vegetable pakora is very good. The rest of the meal is competent if not slightly overpriced. Price is not outrageous, but there are other options, especially in nearby Dublin, that offer comparable if not superior food for a little less. If you have a hankering for Indian/Nepalese food and are already in the area, Aama's will suffice. Maybe I don't appreciate the finer points of Nepalese food vs India cuisine, but maybe most other diners will fall in a similar category? Friendly staff, clean eating area, ornately decorated. They are trying and I won't object to coming back. read more

The restaurant was clean, the food was very good. Santos was our server, he was very friendly and he had such a great personality I would definitely go back again. read more

This review is long overdue! We visited Amma's Kitchen for our anniversary in December, and absolutely loved the food. I'm a big fan of Nepalese cuisine because it brings back such nostalgic memories of home in Assam. I especially loved the Chicken Sekuwa, while my hubby thoroughly enjoyed the goat curry. We also loved the warmth and hospitality--it made the experience feel even more special. We've ordered from Amma's Kitchen whenever we get a chance since then, and it never disappoints. Definitely a favorite in Livermore! read more

Going to have to keep going back to try everything. Had the Nepali Thali for lunch. Great lamb curry, smooth yellow dal, a Nepali succotash very tasty, sauteed spinach perfectly seasoned, naan, raita, pickled peppers/vegetable like a chutney with attitude, fluffy basmati rice. What a gem in Livermore! read more

The owner was super super nice, friendly, and fun. The interior was very pretty as well! read more

Loved the thali here! You get such a great variety on one plate--fresh naan, crispy papad, flavorful curries, cooling raita, and a delicious gulab jamun to finish. Everything was well-seasoned and comforting. The presentation was beautiful and the service made the experience even better. read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! The momos were incredible, we tried the fried chicken and sadeko chicken, and both were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was outstanding. When our chowmein turned out too spicy, they immediately replaced it with a milder version without any hesitation. A special shoutout to our waiter, Santosh, who was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. This place really exceeded expectations, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Very very good. Been here twice, had Lamb Vindaloo best I've had at any of the places in the tri-valley! Tonight I had the Lamb curry and once again it did not disappoint, If you haven't tried this place "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?" read more

I enjoyed lunch here on a Monday around noon. It's fairly new just opened last month Dec' 25. Mostly empty inside just one party having a meal in the corner. I was greeted right away and was given the choice to sit wherever I wish. Got the menu, fairly large and well constructed menu and some cold water and a glass. I didn't have room for any appetizers like momos or pani puri so I just went with the goat thali with is basically a huge circular steel plate with everything except naan. The pics I post will give you an idea. It even came with a delicious gulab jaman. Server asks spice level I replied mild but it was barely any no prob Inreally don't consume that many spicy peppers anymore anyway. The rice was abundant and I finished almost everything was asked if I needed a box container for the food leftover I declined. Place has plenty of free parking inside is really clean and service is super attentive. There are several other locations across the bay. This is a sign of successful restaurants when there multiple sites. Next time will try the momos and chicken etc. This is an awesome addition to Livermore not far from downtown maybe 1-2 miles . The goat was descent had bones in it nothing to rave about but I won't judge ultimately from my first visit . read more

The vegetable thali looked like it was made for a king! Very delicious and tasty dal tadka and okra as well. The ambiance was lovely, easy to talk and connect even though I have a very quiet voice. The waiters helped us efficiently, as we had one hour only as a break during our staff training program. read more

Amazing service and even better food. Will be our go to for Indian food. Clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. Will 100% recommend.

We ordered Aama's for pick up after seeing it on a walk. We could smell it and we knew we had to get it! We ordered some Momo's, chicken tikka, and garlic naan. Everything was really good! The staff were kind and helpful! I will definitely be back and will try to eat there in person as well! read more

Ordered their vegetable biryani and full tandori chicken. The chicken was very wet (not like traditional tandori that is charred outside and moist inside) and seemed to be undercooked. The flavor of the tandori was also very poor and we ended up throwing the whole thing away. This was our first purchase at Aama's and we were looking forward to trying something delicious. But we were extremely disappointed. read more

I've been a fan of Aama's Kitchen (Hayward) and have been there multiple times. Was super excited to try out their new opening at Livermore, but the food was disappointing. Lacked flavor, salt and spice. We ordered Gobi Manchurian (felt like Gobi Pakoda, was not well done from inside) Chilli momos were below average (was too ketchup-y) and the Chowmein, which I was looking forward to the most, had no salt and very less spice, in-spite of asking for extra spicy while ordering. Upon giving the feedback about the Chowmein, the owner said they specifically put less salt in all dishes. But it felt weird because other dishes had the correct amount of salt. Service was quick, the owner was responsive, but he couldn't do anything about the lack of taste/flavor. He apologized, which was sweet, but the food really was nowhere close their Hayward standard. Ambience was better than the Hayward restaurant though, much bigger and more seating. read more
