I asked for medium spice and it had a good kick. There was a side of onion chutney that added some nice zip to balance the richness of the butter chicken sauce. The naan was fluffy and hot and the rice was perfectly cooked. Service was fast and kind, and the space was clean. Street parking was very easy. I will be back!

That spicy chicken tika sauce yes!…read more Came here for dinner on a Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is nice with a few tables for dining in but there is also an order at the counter for pick up and to go orders. My bf and I decided to order some veggie momos to start and decided to share the chicken tika and the chickpea masala. The waiter was very nice and attentive and quickly took our order. The momos came with a yummy sauce which we enjoyed as we dipped each Momo with ever bite. When the chicken tika came out it was sizzling and smoking and it was so loud because it was on a hot cast iron dish and it smelled so good! The chicken tika came with this super tasty, spicy dipping sauce which I had never had with this dish before, and it really blew us away! I wanted a bucket of this sauce on all my meats! ASAP! The chicken was super tender and juicy and the sauce made it irresistible! We really liked this dish and quickly finished it. We each should of gotten our own order of chicken tika! The naan bread with the chickpeas masala was perfect and our rice was nice and fluffy. We thought we were going to have leftovers but we literally wiped our plates clean! Everything was delicious, savory and so good! We will definitely be back for that chicken tika and spicy sauce and this time I'm not sharing! Hahaha!

We really love Aama Lama! Their momos are some of our favorites, the wrappers are great, the…read morefilling is so juicy, and the sauce is SO good. We also recently tried their new panipuri, and WOW it was amazing! The texture was so good, and the sauce was absolutely delightful. I'm literally craving it as I'm writing this review. The thukpa is my go-to dish. It's so comforting, and I especially love the Vietnamese twist with the banh canh noodles. It feels familiar and unique at the same time. My husband always goes for the chicken tikka masala, which is so aromatic and flavorful. And we can't forget the Vietnamese coffee! The ube and pandan flavors are both so good. I really appreciate that even though Aama Lama is a Nepalese restaurant, they incorporate Vietnamese flavors and influences into the menu. As Vietnamese people, we love that fusion and how naturally it comes through in the food. Everything feels thoughtful, comforting, and full of flavor!

This restaurant is a small place.. but with cozy ambience.. the kitchen is right there so you can watch your food being made.

Absolutely delicious. The food came out quick and hot... service was great. I wish I lived closer.. I would be there frequently.

In case you don't know, Nepali-Indian food tastes different than "mainstream"? Indian food. Still bear a traditional taste but distinctly regional... (thankfully), less thick, buttery or creamy (depending on what you order). Tia was my server/ cashier--seriously the nicest person ever. Everything was made fresh and great portions, especially for those reasonable prices! She kept asking if the food was OK/ I was enjoying myself (I'd ordered more than I could eat in 1 sitting), so I just let her know that. I could see myself making this my neighborhood "go to" if I lived closer. Definitely hits that authentic Nepali-Indian spot.

Sounds good we're in get to the door notice it says fine dining we were in soccer shorts and t shirts they don't care! Treated us like anyone else whole another couple dressed the same at on the corner! Online it reads expensive but let me post the proof worth every penny. Indian food is new to me so I may not be the best judge but the employees were fantastic, speedy and so pleasant. They start you with a rendition or chips and salsa a bit spicy I liked it! We got the butter chicken and tikka masala comes with rice we added garlic naan and mango lassi Served sharing style ! They also let you choose a spice level for all your food I got medium and it made me finish two cups of water but that's just the way I like it. Love the energy here ON STREET PARKING FOR LARGE VEHICLES AWESOME STAFF AWESOME PLACE Refreshing from a less than desirable food scene in most cities recently We needed grabbing some naan and lassi to go!

Service was VERY friendly and they were such kind people, but it was slow - ordered to go and when we arrived when the food was said to be ready we waited another ten minutes. Food however was EXCELLENT. Some of the best Indian food I've had in a while, and all the flavors were perfectly balanced. The perfect balance of aromatics made the butter chicken and garlic naan absolutely incredible. Tasted amazing even as leftovers. Probably some of the best Indian food I've found in the area. Will definitely go back.
