This Broomfield spot opened in 2011 as Azitra, but after it was purchased by its longtime GM and chef, they dubbed it Azafran, the Urdu word for “saffron.” The menu is filled with dishes predominantly from northern India, with scattered southern Indian touches like coconut, curry leaves and peppercorns. Certain preparations have been lightened, but […]

Don’t be fooled by the name: There’s much more than just biryani at this Tech Center restaurant. Guests are greeted by a powerful blast of spices as they enter, foretelling good things that await inside the pumpkin-and-gray dining room. That room is crowded (especially on weekends): Families with chubby toddlers and mothers wearing jewel-toned saris, […]
All of the northern Indian classics are represented on Bombay Clay Oven’s menu, but you’ll also find dishes from all over the subcontinent, including a tangy, tamarind-laden Goan seafood curry. The chef-owner is also a tandoor specialist who has a particularly deft hand with chicken. You’ll find a couple of standout mango treats here, as […]
The Bulldog’s dark and shadowy space actually looks and feels like an Old English pub – not a nightclub or a cocktail lounge or a fern bar or even the Punch Bowl, which once occupied this spot. It’s a double-barreled shotgun of a room, with the long oak bar on one side and rickety, high-backed […]
Chai & Chai opened in the fall of 2013 in an unlikely stretch of fast-food restaurants at the heart of the Anschutz Medical Campus.

A former bar in a Littleton small mall is now home to India’s Best Restaurant & Bar. There’s still a bar — along with a few TVs, friendly servers, and a lengthy syllabus of curries, samosas, naan and tandoori dishes that also includes a chile-intensive, searingly hot lamb vindaloo. –
When Krishan Kappor relocated India’s, his terrific curry house, from its longtime home on the perimeter of Tamarac Square to Tiffany Plaza, he definitely traded up in space. But in February 2015, India’s outgrew that space, too, and now occupies a building farther east on Hampden Avenue. The food is as good as ever and […]
Before they opened Jai Ho in the spring of 2010, Sathya and Sujatha Narayan, an architect and a realtor, respectively, had never owned a restaurant. But when they moved to Denver eight years ago from Vancouver, they noticed a gap in the Indian offerings on the local dining scene. Since they’d always dreamed of owning […]
Opened in 2001 by Jujhar Singh — a twenty-year veteran of the Colorado restaurant scene — Jewel of India specializes in regal Punjabi service and northern Indian Mughlai cuisine, originally the food of raiders and interlopers.
