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. –

For anyone familiar with the Asian restaurants of Denver’s many strip malls, Iwayama Sushi is instantly comfortable, with its hodge-podge decor from the pages of a Lowe’s home improvement catalog, rows of maneki-neko cats with paws raised in solidarity, and perky soy sauce bottles on every table. An extensive list of maki, nigiri and other […]
When Jabo Lawson found a permanent address for his once-mobile barbecue operation, he did a quick makeover, cramming overstuffed booths into the former home of a Heavenly Hams. Now blessed with an actual kitchen, he traded in his little outdoor barbecue pit — the same type that masters in southern Texas and Louisiana use — […]
Jalapeno’s is on a roll with its breakfast burritos, the very best in town. Denverites take their breakfast burritos as seriously as they do their bicycle laps around Washington Park, so you can find these eye-openers at hundreds of burrito trucks, burrito carts and burrito shacks sprinkled throughout the city. But none of them compare […]

Jozi’s started out as a semi-permanent food shack at the TheBigWonderful in May 2015, but soon hit the streets in a bright red mobile kitchen, introducing South African cuisine to a town where it’s such a rarity that the names of the dishes trigger looks of pure bewilderment. In September 2016, owners Angus and John […]
Juicy Burgers & Dogs is located in a minimalist space in the corner of a small strip mall in Centennial. And like the space, a Juicy burger isn’t all gussied up. Instead, a hand-molded, properly salt-and-peppered patty — made of freshly ground beef, lamb or chicken, all procured from Colorado — is char-grilled until it […]
For more than thirty years, Karl’s FF Delicatessen has hawked extraordinary things out of its ordinary, Centennial strip-mall address.

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 […]
