    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Arrival, 5:30 pm on a Sunday

    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.

    Oops, ate all the food!

    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!

    I am a big fan of Aama's kitchen in Hayward and was excited to check out their new location. The food is delicious and this location has room for a bigger crowd. We ordered some samosa chaat, steam momo, chicken sekuwa and sadeko momo. Everything was fantastic!

Service was a little slow, but expected because of how crowded it was for Mother's Day. They also had a special menu, so the selection was a bit more limited than usual. For appetizers, we got the malai chicken tikka and the ancho paneer tikka. The malai chicken tikka was good and came with chutney, although it was slightly dry. The ancho paneer tikka also tasted good, but it had a slightly chewy texture. The entrees stood out more. My favorite was the butter chicken. The gravy was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken pieces were soft. While I didn't personally try the goat curry or the desi ghee dal tadka, my family really liked both. They said that the goat curry had a really flavorful gravy with tender pieces, and the dal was light and comforting. The chicken Mughlai biryani was good too. The rice was aromatic and not very spicy. We also got the bread basket, which came with an assortment of naans and Amritsari kulcha. Everything came out warm and soft. The food is definitely on the pricier side. Quantities weren't so large, but the flavor and experience were good, so if you're willing to splurge a little on an upscale lunch or dinner, it's worth a try!

We stood there for over 5 minutes before someone finally came to seat us. After that, the customer service continued to disappoint. We constantly had to look around and flag someone down just to place our order, ask questions, or order additional items. The service inconsistency really stood out to me and made a big impact on the overall experience. The two lady servers seemed very untrained and unsure of how to properly serve customers. The food itself was still good. We ordered the chaat platter, but one complaint was that they added way too much of the puffed rice chaat, which was dry. If you're in the area, it may still be worth trying, just know the service can be very hit or miss.

I got the triple kabob plate and the rice portion was surprisingly small compared to other Afghan spots. Chicken kabobs were inconsistent: some pieces were super salty, others were fine. The beef was tender, but not every bite had the same flavor. Chicken was tender though, cut well. Could have been flavored a bit more Plates overall felt smaller than what I'm used to at similar restaurants. Also worth mentioning -- they serve alcohol here, so if you're strict about halal, that might be a consideration. Since a place selling wine- not sure how strict they are on sourcing halal meat (hand slaughter for example). Also very pricey location compared to others maybe since they serve wine they catering to folks that drink who may spend more without caring All in all, not terrible, but definitely inconsistent and portion sizes could be better. Worth mentioning that all these de afghanans are not same - they have diff owners etc. Not bad seating, was empty for a sunday lunch at noon .

It's a fantastic place for both family dining and takeout, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We've also catered from here many times, and every variety has been a hit. Consistently great food and service--highly recommend Biryaniz!

    This is a small place in Livermore…read more We came here after long 8 hrs drive. I wanted some no brainer food so ordered chicken dum biryani. But unfortunately it was over, on Sunday night that is acceptable. I asked him which Biryani has no nuts. They said special chicken Biryani, so we ordered it but my daughter still found cashews in it. I always find this very scary for nut allergy people. Later they told that Vijaywada Biryani has no nuts and gave us that Biryani. Both dishes are not real Biryani's, they look like chicken curry over rice. Special chicken biryani is mild creamy chicken over rice. Vijay wada is very spicy version. Taste was ok but my brain can't associate it with Biryani. I also tried Thagubothu chicken starter - it is like fried spicy dry chicken. This was very spicy and very very sour . I did not liked the sourness it was too much, I have never tasted such a dish, not sure how much Lemon or vinegar they added to it. From name Biryaniz I would expect better !!!

    Met my daughter here for lunch yesterday and loved all the food…read more We chose Ashoka because we were hoping they had a lunch buffet. Unfortunately,they shut down their lunch buffet during COVID and never brought it back. All the food at the other tables looked good so we decided to give it a try à la carte. We ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, and tandoori chicken. Since à la cart we als ordered two rice and one garlic naan to go with the curries. Serving sizes were good - not small at all but not huge either. Service was very friendly and consistent.. Tikka masala was thick and flavorful. Over the basmati rice was a perfect bite. Vindaloo was also juicy but felt that the sauce could have been a little thicker. Had also asked for super spicy vindaloo but it didn't feel that hot (but did make me sweat like crazy!). Tandoori was tasty but could have been juicier. Felt like it was precooked and warmed up versus being cooked fresh. The tandoori was a till very tasty though. Cost was a little on the high side since everything is à la carte (rice and naan extra). Three dishes, two rice and a garlic naan came out to $74 with leftovers. Lunch would have been $20-25 each if we only got two dishes instead of three. Overall we plan to return and try other menu items. The friendliness of the staff (I think she was the owner) alone would make us come back, but the food was yummy too! In fact, I think we will door dash some Ashoka for poker tonight!
