Really exceptional food - we had momos, rajma, and goat stew, and everything we ate was delicious. I am still thinking about the momos!

Aama Lama is a small restaurant that offers a flavorful blend of Nepalese and Vietnamese-inspired dishes. The menu features a variety of tasty options, including momos, Thali platter, panipuri, and thukpa. The momos are highly praised for their juicy filling, great wrappers, and delicious sauce, with some reviewers calling them the best they've ever had. The steamed chicken momos and vegetable samosas are fresh, well-seasoned, and have a satisfying crunch, making them popular choices. The Thali platter offers a good selection of sides, with the curry goat standing out as a favorite, complemented nicely by garlic naan dipped in curry. The thukpa, with its Vietnamese twist using banh canh noodles, is described as comforting and unique. Chicken tikka masala is also enjoyed for its aromatic and flavorful taste.
Aama Lama's drinks, including Vietnamese coffee with ube and pandan flavors, are appreciated, though some find the beverage options to be average. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy, with a nice decor despite limited seating, making it a good option for takeout or delivery. Many reviews mention the excellent quality of the food even when ordered for delivery, highlighting the careful packaging and fresh ingredients. Overall, Aama Lama is praised for its thoughtful, flavorful, and comforting food, with many customers eager to return for dine-in and further explore the menu.
