Good food and service. Ordered thali and side dishes. It was tasty with the right amount of spices.

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

Very delicious food, can't get any Nepali food within the area so it's such a great treat that they opened one in Livermore. For the price, no better option for indo-Chinese food that Aamas kitchen read more

This was my second time and the food has never disappointed us. The Sadheko Momos are a superhit with all of us. The Butter Chicken and Tofu Tikka Masala were delicious, the tofu so soft and one wouldn't know that it was not Paneer. The owner of the place is cheerful and very patient and gives good suggestions according to your requirements. Always happy to come back here. read more

This is our new go-to place for Indian/Nepalese food. Both cuisines are on the menu and both are good. So far we have tried: Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Baingan Bartha, Palak Paneer, Chili Momo (chicken), and Gobi Manchurian. All were delicious. The space is comfortable and service is friendly and prompt. We look forward to sampling other dishes on future visits. read more

Place was clean, host was very welcoming, service overall was excellent. Open later than most restaurants in area which is nice. Food was amazing, I will definitely be back. read more

My coworker and I tried this place today and were greeted by the owner, K.C., who was very welcoming and happy to answer our questions, since neither of us had tried Nepalese food before. We decided to stick with the Indian side of the menu this time so we could compare it to dishes we already know. We shared a Lamb Vindaloo and Chili Chicken, with a Veggie Samosa to start. The prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. The lamb was tender with very little fat, and the Chili Chicken had great seasoning. We ordered both dishes "spicy," and the heat level was decent. I will definitely ask them to turn up the spice when I go back in a couple of days. read more

Food is amazing and bursting with flavorful! Waiter is also very amiable and energetic.

So we were so excited to try this place out.. Short story, we'll give them another try but there are things they could do better. We arrived for a lunch and were greeted and seated pretty quickly.. The menu has a great variety.. we settled on the items below. Chicken Pakora Lamb Sekuwa Saag Aloo Jhol Momo Chicken Garlic Cilantro Naan Masala Chai As we were the first ones there, I'm not sure if the kitchen wasn't set up, but our food took a longer time to come out than I would've thought . Everything but the lamb was good. Lamb was way over cooked and tough. We asked for the Naan without cilantro as our daughter had the gene that makes everything taste like soap. They accommodated us but then the lamb comes covered with cilantro.. Really.... ?!?? The Saag Aloo & Jhol Momo Chicken were fantastic Another observation was that the gentleman who was in charge of the front spent more time in the kitchen and folks had to wait to be seated.. I'd like to suggest that they warm their plates before placing the food on it. Our food in its entirety was lukewarm and cooled off very fast. Preheating the plates would have helped this I feel. We look forward to giving them another try. As they've only been open a little while we hope they improve. read more

A friend of mine has been raving about Aama's on East Avenue in Livermore so I finally tried it last week. The staff were very kind and helpful with discussing the menu, the hot tea was loaded with fresh herbs, and the food - Oh yes!!!!!! Delicious !!! I ordered the lunch special of the day to taste a variety of dishes....... wish I could have eaten it all; but it is quite a generous platter with a small fresh salad, Daal, rice, fresh naan, and a chicken dish that was mildly spicy. Next time I will order from the Nepalese menu items to discover those similar but unique flavors. Lunch was at a very relaxed pace for friends to visit; others nearby appeared to be on a lunch break. I look forward to the next visit and dining experience. read more

Outstanding food! Delicious flavors and really high quality ingredients! The garlic and cilantro naan might be the best in town. We had one of the vegetarian momos as an appetizer and a goat dish that was sooo good! Definitely check this place out!! read more

Food was amazing and the service was great! The momos were some of the best i have had. Cannot wait to come back again!

I came here with my young daughter. She is four, but she tolerates mildly spicy food pretty well and will eat beans and Indian food, so I thought this would be a safe bet for her. I wasn't quite right about that when it came to the momo dumplings and the samosa chaat. They were too spicy for her. But the thali came next, and she loved the baignan bartha (eggplant), gulab jamun, dal, and of course the rice. Pros: -Overall, the food was delicious. I never thought I would encounter baignan bartha to rival Star Chaat (another spectacular restaurant, but in Dublin). This was at least as good! To me, the baignan bartha and samosa chaat were the real standouts of the meal. Pickle was uniquely amazing, too. It was a little more tangy than most of the Indian pickles I have tried. The balance of spicy, tangy, and salty was very good. I like spicy food, so I loved this. Caveats: - There were no real cons to our experience, but there are some caveats or qualifiers. First, there's no children's menu, so maybe come here with a good idea of what to get for kids and how much spiciness they can tolerate in food. My daughter can tolerate some spicy stuff, but if my six-year-old son was present he would probably just subsist on flatbread. -They don't offer to change the spice levels in food. Some places will ask upfront about the amount of chilis to add (spice level 1-10; mild, medium or hot), but this one doesn't. If you're with someone who doesn't like spicy food, you're going to have to speak up about it yourself and maybe be willing to change your order a bit. Don't take my word for it, though! They are doing a promotion: for the opening month of November everything is 20% off. You should go there and try it out yourselves. read more

We ordered food to go. It was ready on time and soooo delicious. We'll definitely be back again

Food was INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend the tikka masala. Even the naan was extra special somehow. Friendly service

Long overdue, Aama's had deliciously amazing food and great service! Just don't be afraid to head back to the kitchen since their door is finicky at alerting when customers have arrived. read more

Great food and service. Staff has good knowledge about gluten intolerance and cross-contamination. My friend has celiac and she enjoyed a safe meal here. read more

We got the butter chicken, bhindi masala and chicken biryani for take out and loved everything. The chicken was moist and everything was well balanced. The bhindi masala was more of a wet/gravy version than what we had previously but it was still good. The owner was very nice as well! We will be back! read more

Lunch service was delicious! I loved the chicken khorma and coconut chicken. The relaxed atmosphere was also enjoyable!

Food was really good. The lunch special come with a lot of food. Service was a little slow at first but the people were very kind.

Food here is delicious! Good selection of Indian and Himalayan food. Quiet pleasant atmosphere. A great addition to the restaurant scene in Livermore and this East Avenue location in particular. Give it a try! read more

Very amazing place. The food was tasty and flavorful, having tried many of their momos which were delicious. The service was great as the server was fun to talk to and the food came fast. There are many beautiful pictures around and little decoration with the ambiance being great. Overall amazing place to eat at. read more

Amazing food... nice space in the Trivalley area. Loved jhol monos and fried rice. Definitely will return to try the other food items.

So happy they added a location to Livermore. I truly felt this was one of the top Indian restaurants in the Bay Area, and seeing them grow and franchise out makes me so proud. If you're looking for great food and excellent service, definitely stop by. read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant ever! Our family of 10 has already returned to Aama's Kitchen for Sunday suppers 4 times since our first visit. Our group has an age range that includes an 83 yo, 63 yo, 55yo, 44yo, 43 yo, 15yo, 14 yo,13yo, 10 yo and 4 yo with different tastes and different tolerance for spice and we ALL absolutely LOVE this spot! The best naan in the world, the most flavorful butter chicken and tikka masala, steamed and spicy momos, weirdly uniquely delicious French fries, and every time we come, we order a new dish that we fall in love with. The kids beg to return, we clean our plates. The atmosphere is cheerful, bright and family friendly. The staff is attentive (very busy), friendly, hard working and generous (we were treated to a special dessert at our last visit.) I whole-heartedly recommend Aama's - the food, the service and the atmosphere are all top notch at a great value. We will keep coming back to this gem and will attempt to try every item on the menu over time! read more

Came for lunch with a friend. The lunch special was delicious. We were able to visit and talk for as long as we liked. Great place.

Great food, meat is tender and spice levels are just right for me. I can tell the ingredients are high quality and their spice mixes are unique to each dish. Waiters and owner very nice, check in often but aren't annoyingly chatty. Will be coming back!! read more

The best service the best food I have ever tried worth your money he will not regret it. Definitely stop by and try it very family oriented restaurant read more

Multiple kinds of momos prepared in many different ways - delicious! The spicy food was sweat inducing spicy and their control of flavors outstanding. We will be back :) read more

The portion is very very small like child size and the rice and naan cost extra $4 per person. The flavor isn't good either. Not recommended
