    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.

    Oops, ate all the food!

    Wow!! This place is amazing. Very clean! Polite staff! Everything that I've tried so far has been great! if I could, I would eat here 5 days a week!!! The also accommodated my 2-year old! I didn't take pictures of food until I ate it all ! JUST wow !! by far the best Indian food in Livermore!!!!!

    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.

    Chicken Nepali Thali - Chicken
    Dristi T.

    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.

    Chicken Choila (GF) (DF)
    Shailesh M.

    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!

If you've been here, you know the elevator opens into a very small entry space before you even fully enter the bar. Before I had even stepped off the elevator, the security guard was aggressively grabbing my friend's husband to check his ID. For context, we are all in our mid to late 40s and clearly not under 21. My friend's husband had just noticed a friend at the bar and walked over to say hello and give them a quick hug. That's when the security guard grabbed and pulled him in a very aggressive manner. When my husband calmly stepped in and said that the grabbing was unnecessary, the guard escalated the situation further. He became confrontational and even told my husband he could come back at 1:30 when he got off work if he wanted to "handle it." This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. As a Livermore resident, I will not support an establishment that allows their employees,especially security staff,to treat customers this way. Staff should be ensuring safety, not provoking confrontations with patrons.

I immediately canceled the transaction due to the incorrect amount. Despite the cancellation, the restaurant processed another charge to my card for $158.70, an amount I did not authorize. Charging a customer after a transaction has been canceled is unacceptable and raises concerns about the restaurant's payment handling and internal controls. I am now forced to dispute this charge with my bank due to the merchant's failure to correct their own error. This experience reflects a lack of accountability and poor financial practices that no customer should have to deal with. Until Azotea addresses these billing issues and demonstrates responsible handling of customer payments, I cannot recommend this establishment.

The place was super lively and honestly pretty packed during my visit on a week night. The lounge itself is on the smaller side, but cozy. I like the concept, there are wire racks on the wall and each table has a little wooden game board on top (mine was Chinese checkers), such a cute touch and makes the place feel a bit more interactive. Their signature cocktail menu has a lot of options, but since it was our first time, we asked the bartender for a recommendation. He suggested "Meet Me In Pearis" since we wanted something vodka-based. The drink took about 10-15 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long, but it looked like he was the only one working, serving two big parties plus a few tables, so I get it. Service overall was still good and he was nice the whole time. For the drink... honestly, it didn't really wow me. Both the flavor and presentation were pretty underwhelming. It kind of tasted like a glass of sangria to me. I guess with "Artisanal" in the name, I was expecting something a little more unique or elevated. Overall, great location, nice vibes, and I like the interior concept. Service was solid too. Just wish the drink matched the same level. Probably wouldn't come back, but glad I got to check it off my list.
