Experience, romance, theatricality: You get these in spades at Ambli. Hospitality, too, which starts with a warm tableside welcome from co-owner Pariza Mehta’s father, a longtime restaurateur who was born in Tanzania, then came to Denver via London and Dallas.

Perhaps you’ve heard about the years-long political struggle to get the City of Boulder to accept the Dushanbe Teahouse after it had already been sent there in boxes — eight years during which the mayor of Dushanbe died without seeing his dream of an exchange fulfilled. Perhaps you know that over the years, the food […]
Comal is a restaurant on a quest: It opened in as a lunch spot in RiNo in late 2016 with the goal of training low-income women (many from Mexico, El Salvador, Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq) in restaurant and business skills, and some of its graduates have moved on to open their own food endeavors. In […]
During his tenure as owner of the venerable East Side Kosher Deli, Joshua Horowitz has been carefully revamping the deli counter and grocery store. In 2017, he took things to the next level, gutting the establishment and reopening with a fresh cultural aesthetic and a mouthwatering menu that incorporates a healthy ration of smoked meats […]

Chef/owner William Wahl’s family runs a restaurant in France, Au Vrai Normand, and after a stint with […]

Built from the bones of the old Olinger Mortuary building, Linger burst onto the scene in 2011 with an international menu and a theme to match the surroundings (cocktails listed on toe tags, tables built from gurneys, water served in apothecary bottles). Although newer buildings have blocked some of the view from the rooftop bar/deck, […]
Vegans, rejoice: Radha Govinda’s serves up an all-you-can-eat buffet that’s now entirely plant-based. The restaurant is only open four days a week, but it’s worth the wait to get yourself in the door. The menu changes daily; check the website for the current choices. The prices at Govinda’s make eating well extremely reasonable, and on […]
Tucked into a nook in Writer’s Square, Red Square Euro Bistro has a dark, plush interior with deep-red walls and velvet seats that line a massive wooden bar in the center of the space. The restaurant serves a menu of heavy European cuisine to diners sitting at candlelit tables. But as the night presses on, […]
Spice Trade Brewery has unusual roots: It was born inside Arvada’s Yak & Yeti Restaurant, brewing beers made with herbs and spices to complement the Indian and Nepalese food. So it made sense that when the brewery opened its own distinct location in May 2020, it would push these flavors even further. The new Spice […]
If there’s one word that captures the feeling of dining at Stowaway, it’s “nurtured.” At this daytime cafe, which opened in 2015, your appetite will be nurtured by wholesome foods made with a global influence that keeps things as fresh and exciting as they are comforting, and your soul will feel nurtured by the downright […]

Zeppelin Station opened its doors in March 2018, welcoming RiNo residents to a newfangled food hall (or food court, if you’re old enough to remember the sprawling structures that sold cheap sunglasses and housed the long-suffering Sbarro). But unsurprisingly, this concept from the folks behind the Source and the Source Hotel is way, way cooler. […]
