Roya Afghan Cuisine - Livermore

I made my own sampler from the appetizer section and couldn?t have been happier. Everything was absolutely fresh and sitting out on the patio on a beautiful sunny day, it really was an ideal afternoon; interestingly enough, today was the first day of fall and it felt like summer still! The mantu here had more vegetable variety than any other place I tried and the sambosa what is evidently just made so it was perfectly hot and crisp! I forget the name of the eggplant medallions but they too were delicious. Totally fair prices for the quality and ambience! Downtown Livermore is a pleasant stroll as well! Please come support this local restaurant and enjoy the surroundings!

Simply delicious Indian/middle eastern style food forgive me, this is my first impression of Afghan food). Small and family owned. The lamb Korma and the tomato chicken dish had very delicate flavors and super tender meat. Prices had lunch menu) are very reasonable 11 to 14 entrees) but probably a few more for dinner. Still not bad for a white tablecloth restaurant in the center of the downtown street. Will definitely return.

Had takeout in person order ~15 min waiting. The mantu is delicious, it is an absolute must and comes in the appetizer or entree form, and the chicken dishes are v filling. One of the best Afghan restaurants I have ever visited, and I come from Toronto, ON, Canada, which has a strong base of amazing Afghan restaurants. Also with Afghan bread and salad.

Really delicious! We went for lunch and sat out on the front patio. They start you with a nice little salad and also give you 3 sauces, two of which are nice and spicy (read: super spicy, I just happen to love super spicy). I had the lamb with spinach (sabzi challaw) which was excellent! The lamb was super tender and flavorful, and there was a lot of delicous sautéed spinach on top. My mom got the vegetarian platter which included spinach, pumpkin, and eggplant (Sabzi, Kadu and Badenjan) topped with yogurt. She said it was really good! We also got the goush-e-feel which is a fried pastry dessert. Good but very large and I was already super full from my lunch. The Afghan bread is lovely as well! We'll be back for sure!

Was bummed that they didn?t have vegetarian Bolani. However, the food we ordered was tasty. Bread served was cold. The sauces were tasty. Complimentary salad was fine, dough drink was yum. Kids loved Salmon And chicken kebab. Would come back here and recommend to try at least one time if not more.
