The Most Delectable Himalayan/Nepalese in Aurora

Namaste India Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (342) • $$

"I work down the street from here, and they have some great Saag paneer and daal. Service was attentive, portions are huge, I loved the naan. I found this place by smell- I knew there was a good indian place in town because I could smell the aromas before I saw the actual restaurant. When you are hungry, you should definitely follow your tummy, it will lead you to good places :) - I have been here twice. I love that they top off your rice with your take out. It makes it easier to have 2 meals without having to buy a whole other thing of rice. The only complaint i had about this place was it was freezing when I dined here (it's winter, I realize) but I literally ate my meal with my jacket on both times. I do love to frequent mom and pop places and this is definitely a mom and pop shop. If you are in Arvada and have a craving for indian food- this is a great option."

"When I visited family in January, we ordered food from here through Grub Hub. It was so good that I asked family to eat it again, and we went to the restaurant.The food is phenomenal. Great flavors and textures, multiple spice levels, Inside is cozy and charming with great Indian decor. The service is very attentive.We ordered lots of food for our group including the naan, pakora, samosas, and went with Chicken biryani, chicken korma, chicken vindaloo, and we washed it down with Taj beers. I also recommend Kheer, which is a tasty rice pudding that cools the palate when you are done.I will be back!"

Curry Kingdom an Indian Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (67)

"Curry Kingdom an Indian Eatery is an Indian restaurant in Wheat Ridge. It's located off of 44th and Wadsworth near Walgreens.I'm slowly knocking off all my new neighborhood restaurants. I love me some Indian food and the craving kicked in over the weekend. I ordered through DoorDash and the food was ready for pickup in no time. The employee (maybe owner) was very polite. For a Friday night, the restaurant was completely empty. Maybe they hone in on the takeout side of the business? It's a fairly large space, so I felt bad seeing it empty.Luckily I live close by. The intoxicating smells of the food were tortuous after a long day without eating. I wanted the classics: curry, rice and naan. No more, no less.Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) // flakes of tandoor meat cooked with creamy butter sauce. When you order butter chicken, always get it with a little kick. A medium spice had a decent bite, but I wish I ordered hot. However, the curry was extremely flavorful. The chicken was fairly tender. The curry had big aromas of garlic and ginger and other spices. With garlic naan and basmati rice in tow, it made for a wonderful meal.I already know I'll be back to Curry Kingdom to work my way through the menu! Rumor has it they have a lunch buffet and who doesn't love an Indian buffet? First impressions are strong, even though this might be more of a takeout option than a dine in experience.Support our local restaurant scene!"

"Ordered from here through DoorDash on a whim and found my new go to Indian spot! I love their momo dumplings and their chicken Marsala. Amazing portions that will feed you for now than just one meal."

Taste Of India

★★★★☆ 3.7 (116) • $$

"NOT JUST A TASTE!!! It's an Immersion of India! People need to come here and sample the exquisitely prepared cuisine all the time!! The menu is vast and the portions are great but the food is soooo fresh and delicious!Their chai tea is homemade and one can taste the fresh ingredients with each sip of loveliness. It wasn't overly sweet like other places make it!! Absolute Heaven in a cup!The servers were very polite and swift. I cannot wait to come back!!"

Rocky Mountain Momo

★★★★★ 4.8 (23)

"This is a family owned Nepali restaurant hidden away in the plaza on Arapahoe. It's small but the staff is really friendly. The prices are reasonable and there are lots of vegetarian options. It's a small menu but everything was actually pretty good. They have a nice little spicy kick but it's not too bad. Sometimes they'll have specials so it's best to ask. Everything was very flavorful."

Tikka and Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (157) • $$

"I ordered for delivery and my food arrived quickly and was piping hot. I got the tofu tiki masala and saag panner. Both were full of flavor and perfectly spiced! This was enough food to feed me for 4 meals! Loved the depth of flavor and amount of food for the money. Delicious, authentic Indian food!"

Cuisine of the Himalayas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (161) • $$

"Cuisine of the Himalayas is absolutely delicious. I am convinced this is the best restaurant in Evergreen. The food there has always been amazing. The service may be lacking at times, but the food makes up for it. We've dined in there, and were a little nervous when we were the only people there (pre-pandemic), but a few other families eventually came in.The lamb vindaloo was amazing and sneaky spicy. The chicken korma was great and the chicken tikka masala was sweet and they all had a decent spice level, even at medium spicy.I've also had the garlic naan, saag paneer (which is one of my all time favorites), bharta makhani, lamb sherpa stew and a few other things. I just keep forgetting to finish my yelp draft. There are plenty of vegetarian, fish and meat options. You can also add coconut milk and veggies to pretty much anything.I would recommend being careful about the spice levels. I usually get my dishes medium-hot and that is plenty spicy for me. Lately they've been doing take-out only out of their newly installed take-out window. Hopefully they will open up for dining in again soon. I miss eating at restaurants. Cuisine of the Himalayas is so far my favorite restaurant in Evergreen though. I highly recommend it and look forward to trying everything!"

Curry & Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (41)

"We found out about this place through Offline, and I am so happy we gave it a try! Full disclosure, we know nothing about Indian food nor have we have ever gone to an Indian restaurant before. Because of this, we stuck to the recommended menu items through Offline, and everything was so good! We started with the Mo Mo Fried (Chicken), Mulligatawny Mughal soup, and garlic naan. Yum, yum, and yum again! For our entrees, we split the vegetable curry and the buttered chicken (both mild plus spice level). I found the curry to be a bit on the sweet side with a spicy kick at the end, but my fiancé did not find it to be sweet at all. Neither of us found the butter chicken to be spicy, so we probably could have gone up a spice level on that one. Everything we ate was delicious and we would definitely go again for these same items and to try others! We went on a Friday night at 6:30pm and it was completely dead which was very sad, there were only two other tables besides us, and three pickup orders came through while we were there. They have only been around for a few months, but I am really hoping people start giving this place a go because not only is the food very tasty, but the space and ambience is really great too, the staff was all also super friendly!"

Tikka and Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (67)

"I've been to the other South Broadway location and this has the same menu. I'd call the menu huge! So many options and so many meat/non-meat options for the dishes. I've honestly never seen so many choice at an Indian restaurant before! It will surely please everyone with such variety. Just give yourself time for perusing so much.The drink prices are excellent here. I tried a Chai Martini, it was sweet and tasty if that's your thing. I am glad they opened a spot on 6th St, so much closer to me and right by The Esquire. So, if you're checking out a movie there, this is the perfect before or after spot!My last meal I swapped out the beloved paneer with tofu in my palak/saag just because I already had so much cheese that day and I was so surprised how great it was! The tofu really took on a similar taste and texture of the paneer I typically get!Also, if you like samosas but want to try an amped up version, try the samosa chat! Many places do offer this, so I was excited to see it and have it again. See my pic of it! The food is great here and it will be a place I go to often that is for sure."

"Finally made it here! Of course the garlic naan is incredible. Of course the butter chicken is outrageously good (like, licking my plate good). I also really enjoyed the tandoori wings (best priced wings in town I bet) and the Bombay potatoes! The Bombay potato dish is large enough to share with at least 3 other people if not more. We sat at the bar. Our server was attentive and friendly. And the food was very quick to the table. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! But, butter chicken will have to be included every time, because IT IS DREAMY!"

The Momo House

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"Overall, EXCELLENT. Details:This is not a restaurant but a "ghost kitchen" preparing Nepalese food for pick-up or delivery. It's located in the Federal Kitchens - Maker Kitchens facility at 707 Federal, so it doesn't have street signage of its own.My son's phone showed more ordering options than my computer did, so order online on a mobile device.He was looking for ideas for dinner and was excited to find this brand-new listing on Yelp, close to us and not yet reviewed. We like this kind of food and liked the photos, so we tried it. Definitely a good decision. Everything we had was very flavorful and spicy. We found everything well-balanced and delicious by itself or dipped in accompanying sauce. It's not killer hot, but it may challenge the sensitive and could be overwhelming if you're from a Midwestern state "where potatoes are a spice," as a friend once joked. This was our dinner for two, along with a large homemade salad:- Combo momo - steamed, fried, and baked. - Pakora.- Samosa.- Chicken bites.Every item had its own unique charm. We were enchanted. The momo look like pot stickers but with much more intense flavor. We were pleased to receive a very generous "baker's dozen" with an extra of each style - baked, pan fried, and steamed. The three methods of preparation provided a variety of texture and chewiness that makes each version taste slightly different. I preferred the baked and fried, but there was definitely nothing wrong with the steamed ones. Choice of veggie, chicken, or pork (the ones we tried). The pakora were spicier than others we'd had elsewhere and are fantastic on their own or with sauce. They're cabbage and onion, so despite being deep-fried in a lovely crispy coating, that makes them healthy. Right? Right? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. The momo and pakora are sided with a creamy-thick orange dipping sauce - maybe a masala sauce? Didn't get the name. Good stuff, also spicy but again not killer hot. A very nice flavor complement, although the momo and pakora are great just on their own. The samosa and the chicken bites both come with a thin, somewhat sweet, spicy, gingery sauce. It looks like soy sauce but definitely is not. This is really nice stuff, but again mostly unnecessary except for the sake of being able to vary the taste from bite to bite. Everything had plenty of flavor either with or without sauce. Each sauce was good with all four items. You may want to make sure you get both sauces to try.The samosa are large, fried beautifully crisp with some kind of veggie filling. Again, spicier and much more flavorful than others we've had. Definitely another winner.The photo of the chicken bites made me expect chunks of fried chicken, but they actually are balls of seasoned ground chicken. This was the mildest thing we got. There were fine but not spectacular like the other three items. Very suitable if you want something flavorful but milder.Ready right on time. Outstanding food, service, and price. The Momo House is a great dining choice and is open late on Friday and Saturday nights. Try it!"

Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro

★★★★★ 4.5 (87)

"I've been here many times for their lunch buffet. The food is good and it's reasonable. It's quick and convenient making it one of our lunch favorites.I struggled a bit to write this review because everything isn't always perfect. The food can be warm instead of hot, the naan bread sometimes takes awhile to come out.But all things considered the place offers value, variety and its got healthy options.The place itself is located in a strip mall in Broomfield. It's nice inside, I like the decorations.Ultimately, it's not the best Indian food I've had, but it is good and for the price I think they deserve a 5 star.If you like buffets or Indian food I would recommend trying it.I'll be back, happy eating!"

India's Kitchen III

★★★★☆ 4.2 (223) • $$

"Food was wonderful! We came in during a weekday lunch to use a coupon and to catch up with each other (three of us girlfriends). We shared chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, saag paneer, and cheese naan (YUM!!). We saw a 50% off wine bottles sign and went for it! The wine definitely enhanced our meal and was only $12 for the bottle of Chardonnay. No lunch buffet during these pandemic days. Hoping that India's Kitchen III gains some traction as it's somewhat hidden off Arapahoe Road. I see the restaurant is trying its best to promote themselves (with coupons/deals). Definitely would come back and recommend it to others!!"

"Great food and service. Casual, small seating area with comfy chairs. Got the plater and it was perfect amount of food for 2 and were able to sample several things. Their mango lassi was loved by my partner. I enjoyed the horchata. Family ran business which I plan to return to support. Parking is in a large lot out front. Located right off Wadsworth and 92nd."

"World class Indian food. The best lamb masala ever. I come here every time I travel. The naan is light and amazing. A true find."

Fishtail Cuisine of India & Nepal

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Give this place a try, you will be hooked. I have dined in and had takeout from here --great experience each time. Food is fresh, lovely, generous, and delicious. You can taste all the spice notes in every dish (not just the heat note common at most other Indian restaurants). Place is clean and service top notch. I recommend the vindaloo and aloo saag in particular. Most Indian/Nepalese places either make the food too hot or not hot at all, no matter what spice level you choose. Here, you request a medium spice level you get a medium spice level. And other small details tell you ownership takes pride in what they serve. As an example, for takeout they wrap all the containers in plastic shrink wrap and label each container -- this keeps the food warm longer, prevents leak, and you don't have to guess at what is in the containers."

Himchuli RINO - Indian & Nepali Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (116) • $$

"Fantastic lunch special - for $16 it's a ton of food, and allows you to taste a few of the different offerings. The chicken was incredibly tender in both preparations, and the samosa was stuffed with filling! Had plenty to take home as leftovers for dinner, which was a good "problem" to have. Waitress was also the hostess, greeting was friendly and she refilled water without needing to be asked. A big clean restaurant. Did notice a number of takeout orders being picked up!"

The Yak and Yeti - Westminster

★★★★☆ 3.9 (565) • $$

"You cannot beat The Yak when it comes to fantastic, consistent across locations, Indian food. Yak & Yeti is our go to as a family. Our daughter was home for the weekend from college and had been missing Indian food. This location has plenty of parking and is easy to get to. There is ample seating in the dining room. The staff is welcoming and our waters were never empty.We ordered three entrees for the four of us to share, but we all got our own order of Naan. Because, naan, right? Cannot get enough of that stuff. They give you Papadams when you sit down with several chutneys. The cilantro and the tamarind are my favorites.We had both chicken and sweet potato Tikka Masala as well as Tandoori chicken. It was paired with their seasoned rice. The onions and peppers that came with the Tandoori were tasty. Go, just go! If you have not had the wonderful food at a Yak & Yeti location, you need to go!"

India Nepal Oven

★★★★☆ 4.2 (254)

"Fabulous experience! We ended getting take out at the last minute and so happy we did! The flavors were insanely good, everything tasted fresh (I got a vegan dish, husband the chicken) & we have no regrets. What a great local staple!"

Spice Mix

★★☆☆☆ 2 (1)

"Unfortunately not great. We had delivery via one of the platforms and both our chicken curry and Chana curry were delivered with a thick layer of oil on the top. While I didn't expect the food to be super healthy, the amount of oil was excessive and the food did not taste good. I appreciated that they offered us a credit, but it was bad enough that I will not be re-ordering again even with a credit."

Namaste Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (232)

"BUFFET IS OPEN! It's delicious! So happy the Indian buffet is open again. I've missed it so much. I guess I got spoiled having a little bit of everything. And all the Riata I want! The Naan was so delicious! They also have a great outdoor space too. There's setback from the road so you have to look for them but they're right there! I'd be a lovely quiet spot to eat outside and have some of the best Indian food in town."

"This place is inside mango house, if you are coming from del Mar st then Park in the back, there is no parking in the front of Mango house. Now about food! The food is good, I recommend the chatpate if you can handle the spice and jhol momo. The owner is super friendly, too!"

Durbar Nepalese & Indian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (247) • $$

"Great restaurant with friendly people and yummy food. Been here and ordered takeout several times. I usually always order saag paneer (palak paneer) when I go to Indian/Nepalese restaurants. The one they have here is really good and I love getting hot. The butter chicken, vindaloo, and tikka are also good options. Not crowded at all on a Friday night. We got cheese garlic naan for the first time and I couldn't really tell the difference between that one an normal garlic naan. Good ambiance overall."

Yak and Yeti Restaurant and Brewpub

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1142) • $$

"3.5 stars. Customer service was fantastic when I came here with a group of friends to explore the Indian/Nepalese buffet. There were a few things I really liked off the buffet, especially the Vegetarian Korma (which is surprising for a meat eater!) and I mostly appreciated the wide selection. We ordered momo's on top of that. I want to try the beer at this location next time. It was a decent time, but I think this place is overhyped overall!"

Sherpa House Restaurant & Cultural Center

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1031) • $$

"Nepalese cuisine? A lot of what is on the menu is similar to Indian food, but there are some items that I have not seen elsewhere. First off, you can have yak meat in many of the dishesIt is worth noting that Tarkari is basically a curry dish and daal is the same lentil soup that you'd find at many Indian restaurants. So, Daal Bhat Tarkari is a set meal that consists of lentil soup, rice, and curry. Apparently, this is a national dish of Nepal. One of our fellow diners got this and it looked very good. He was happy with his choice. As with many places, they offer several spice levels, depending on your preference. The momo (dumplings) are a traditional street food and are a nice way to start the meal, though not really required since the dinner portions are generous. Of our group, most people ordered either a curry or a vindaloo at various levels of spiciness and meats ranging from chicken to yak. Yak is mostly like beef to me, and at a high spice level, it was difficult to tell the difference. I think everyone enjoyed their meals as the plates were clean at the end of the meal. We ate in the "garden" area outside and it was nice. They seem to allow pets in that area. I'd like to eat inside next time since on our way through, it looked to be very interestingly decorated. The service was good throughout the meal, although once our plates were cleared, it seemed like we were forgotten and we had to just about grab a server to get them to let us pay. They were pretty busy, but I'd think you'd want to turn a table to get more people in faster. I recommend a reservation, especially if there is something going on at the nearby school or if you have more than a few people in your party. Either that or be ready to wait for a while."

Bajeko Sekuwa - The Himalayan Grill

★★★★★ 4.9 (62)

"Came here on a weeknight and it was pretty empty. After some deliberation, I got jhol chicken momos. It came with 8 momos with decent filling and good wrapper/filling ratio. I was VERY full after my meal! I wasn't the biggest fan of the special bajeko sekuwa sauce but my friends were and drank up every last bit so your mileage can vary! My friends got the roganjosh, butter chicken masala, palak paneer, and mixed chow mein and enjoyed them all! Naan also was good! Portions were big for everything (proportionate to the price since the prices were on the higher end). While the price is on the higher end, the portion is fitting. Not the best Indian food I've had but good momos!! Service was kind of poor, they did not refill our water for awhile despite a pretty empty restaurant but that's just me being nit picky!"

India's Kitchen II - Centennial

★★★★☆ 4.4 (285) • $$

"I cannot express enough how great of an experience we always have at India's Kitchen II:Tonight, we ordered a Kingfisher beer, two mulligatawny soups (one hot and one mild), tandoori chicken, chicken curry, chicken mo mo, and garlic naan. Absolutely fantastic. As usual.The service is fast and friendly. The food is delicious and when you ask for mild, they make it mild. When you ask for hot, they make it hot. I just wish they had their pre-COVID buffet available. It was like like the star on top of a beautiful Christmas tree. (This is me me remembering the greatness.)We come here often, and for a reason. I have never - not once - had a remotely unpleasant meal or experience here. If you haven't already, please try it!"
