Indian in Denver

Yak & Yeti Restaurant and Entertainment Center is familiar to those with a thirst for craft beer and a hunger for Nepalese and Indian food. The beers, like the award-winning Chai Milk Stout, show up at tap rooms around town, while the specialties are rare enough in the metro area that devotees are willing to […]
Chai & Chai opened in the fall of 2013 in an unlikely stretch of fast-food restaurants at the heart of the Anschutz Medical Campus. Owner Venu Alla, an Indian architect and tech consultant, was inspired to start a restaurant by Chez Panisse — but his place is very different from that legendary spot. Chai & […]
The best time to visit Khazana is not for lunch, when the buffet at this off-the-eaten-path Lone Tree Indian restaurant looks all too familiar. But if you come for dinner, you’ll find delicate, bronze-tinged dosas paved with a beguiling mix of curried potatoes and onions; Indo-Chinese dishes like cauliflower slicked with infernal chiles; intensely spiced […]
Namaste India deserves applause for bringing another ethnic restaurant to Arvada in 2013. Both of Namaste’s owners are from Nepal: Ramnath Sah runs the kitchen, and Bibek Rauniyar, who moved to Colorado to pursue a degree in chemistry and math and worked throughout college at Yak & Yeti and Jewel of India, is the general […]

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. –
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 […]
When Tiffin’s opened in Boulder in 2011, the fast-casual restaurant was completely vegetarian. Over time, the menu has grown from a focus on the street food of southern India, adding more familiar — at least to Front Range palates — curries, kabobs and biryanis. Still, much of the menu is occupied by snacks and stewed […]
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 […]
Little India’s take on Indian food is an odd mix of regional specialties, all cooked in the tradition of northern Indian cuisine by a Punjabi chef. The menu is long and dignified, showcasing the curries and masalas that even casual Indian-food eaters would recognize, as well as five kinds of saag, specialties of Madras, Danshak, […]
The original location of Yak & Yeti has been serving up authentic Indian fare — and a few traditional Nepalese dishes — since 2002; it’s also familiar to those with a thirst for craft beer. The beers, like the award-winning Chai Milk Stout, show up at tap rooms around town, while the specialties are rare […]

Tibet’s is owned by Kami Sherpa and Pasang Sherpa, and related through blood (not money) to another great Tibetan restaurant: Sherpa’s Adventurers Restaurant in Boulder. It’s staffed by some of Sherpa’s former waiters, and Pasang himself works the floor while the cooking is done by chef Uttam Lama, who has major cred: He got his […]
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 […]
The first thing you notice about the Royal Peacock is the smell: incense and curry, old carpets and fresh cinnamon and ancient tandoor smoke. It’s a warm, cloying and sweet smell, and a hint that the Peacock isn’t your average strip-mall Indian outpost. The very traditional kitchen offers tastes of India straight out of Goa […]

Yak and Yeti has been serving up authentic Indian fare – and a few traditional Nepalese dishes – since 2002. The Arvada Yak & Yeti location is our favorite, since it’s located in an old — allegedly haunted — farmhouse. Regardless of what you believe about the elusive beyond, there’s no denying that this restaurant […]

Pemba Sherpa – a native of Nepal who made his living as a mountain guide before settling in Colorado – built this restaurant around his idea for a “traveler’s lounge,” a place for climbers and adventurers to gather and plan, to reminisce, to tell true stories and to make up a few others. But the […]
One of the few restaurants around offering both gluten-free cooking and Jain-friendly options, Masalaa raises vegetarian cuisine to such a level that even the most dedicated carnivore will never miss the meat. And you can return again and again without repeating the same meal twice, because the menu is huge, a mishmash of dozens of […]
Namaste offers everything a fan of Indian cuisine or even Tibetan food could possibly want – and then six or eight or a dozen more things, like shrimp saag or fried spinach and potato pakora, that they’ve never even thought of eating before seeing this triple-fold menu. The cooks here have a particular talent with […]
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. While the menu looks like the menu of every other strip-mall Indian restaurant in the country, the food that […]
