House of Kabob

House of Kabob is a diminutive Persian restaurant located in a South Colorado Boulevard strip mall and surrounded by other Middle Eastern restaurants and markets. For nearly thirty years, House of Kabob has been serving customers marinated fava beans, lamb tongue, gyros and the house-special Lebnee pita bread dip: Lebanese cream yogurt, sprinkled with olive […]

India’s Restaurant

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 […]

Inga’s Alpine Tavern

This spot in the former Pete’s Patio Bar is a kitschy mix of rustic simplicity and retro elegance with solid bar fare and live music. Inga’s was inspired by a Swedish ski cabin, and the battle-scarred hardwood floors look as though they’ve been deliberately dented by the stomp of ski boots. Meanwhile, tufted, swiveling, brass-studded […]

The Island

Lost in a sea of amusement opportunities? Head for The Island, where the price of admission buys you a late-night drop-in game on a variety of levels and courts at this volleyball center. The facility offers leagues, tournaments and clinics year-round. And when cabin fever hits in the winter, the indoor sand volleyball courts can […]

Jax Fish House

Sip, slurp and shuck your way to shellfish bliss at Jax, the fish house and oyster bar that Dave Query launched in Boulder in the ’90s; he soon launched the concept in Denver, and it’s since gone beyond Colorado. Built around seafood and specializing in shells, each Jax offers grilled and fried oysters in addition […]

Jaya Asian Grill

There’s a lot to love at Jaya Asian Grill. The minute you walk through the door of this spot tucked into a strip mall, you’re greeted by smiles from the friendly staff, curious glances from the regulars and the clatter of a busy kitchen working away in the back. The menu that kitchen is working […]

Kiki’s Japanese Casual Dining

Filled with knickknacks, Kiki’s is cluttered in the way your favorite aunt’s house might be – but that just adds to the homey vibes of this casual, under-the-radar eatery that specializes in authentic country-style Japanese food. There is an entire ramen menu to explore as well as sushi offerings, but Kiki’s also serves up dishes […]

Kind Love

Kind Love’s proximity to Cherry Creek makes perfect sense: That neighborhood’s residents like the finer things in life, and Kind Love provides some of the finer herb in town. The Glendale dispensary’s genetics and growing techniques are so highly sought after that other Colorado dispensaries would rather sell its wholesale flower than their own. But […]

Kokoro

Founded n 1986, Kokoro has specialized in speed, low prices, freshness and healthy ingredients — with a Japanese accent — for decades now. In both look and feel, this original outpost apes a Japanese noodle shop, serving rice bowls and noodle bowls, sushi lite (think California and spicy tuna rolls), gyoza, edamame and salads, all […]

La Fogata

The original location of La Fogata, on East Evans Avenue, opened back in 1990 and in 2004, a second spot was later added in the Denver Tech Center. Both eateries are staples in their neighborhoods, and regulars are greeted warmly by longtime staff. The thick, warming, gravy-style green chile is one of the best versions […]

Larkburger

Back in 2006, Thomas Salamunovich started a little stand-alone restaurant designed to feature the burger that, through experimentation and long practice, he’d come up with at the Larkspur Restaurant in Vail and had proved wildly popular at that fancy-pants place. In his words, it was “my vision for the perfect burger experience.” And Larkburger comes […]

Las Tortas

Tortas take all the deliciousness of Mexican fare and pile it onto soft rolls. And the tortas at Las Tortas are the most delicious of all. When ordering, newbies will be told that the Norteña, with carne asada, breaded steak and cheese, is the best seller. Like all of the standard torta options here, it […]

Les Delices De Paris

Walking into Les Delices de Paris is like walking into another world: one of pure sensation, of cream and sugar, fine flour, yeast and butter and salt. The little pastry shop occupies what could be the most inconvenient location on Leetsdale, but on its best days, this is the best-smelling spot in the entire city […]
