"My husband and I came here pretty late one night and felt so welcomed, even though they were about to close. Ali was really helpful, friendly, and fun! He hooked us up with some delicious dishes (we ordered the meat combo and added a couple of vegetable sides as well). We also got a couple of appetizers and were really impressed. The decor on the walls is interesting and it's awesome that they play music videos from Ethiopia and other countries! I really love this spot, and look forward to coming back here again."
"This is a plant-based vegan/vegetarian casual eatery that serves Asian fusion food. Until my new friend suggested this to be our little lunch get-together place the past Wednesday, I had no clue about its existence (or I had heard about it but the knowledge somehow fell into oblivion.) Therefore, I owe my friend huge thanks.I couldn't wait to dine here. I browsed the menu a few times online beforehand so that I wouldn't be so indecisive when I got here on the day of. Japanese Katsu Rice Bowl caught my attention but I thought I'd try to be spontaneous was my intention.I jinxed it. I got me the Katus Bowl when I got here. I mean at least that would be a great starter item to pick for my very first visit.My friend said what she likes about this place is that they serve food in a to-go container even if it's a dine-in. That way, people would not feel so obligated to finish all of their food; they can always take the rest home with them to avoid food waste. I kind of agree with this concept because both my friend and I could not finish our food as the portions here are pretty generous.I truly enjoyed my Katus Rice Bowl. At the first impression, the entire food looked salty (I simply dislike salty food.) I was wrong (and glad to be wrong!!.) Although there was a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce over the katsu part, it wasn't salty at all. And the veggies that were underneath the katsu were cooked to the perfect texture. In other words, they weren't soggy or too raw.This restaurant is surrounded by hospitals and medical offices. It must be very popular amongst those workers from those places. Although on a Wednesday that seemed typical, we were one of the few people who dined here during the peak noon lunch time. The lady at the ordering counter said that this place opened during the peak of the pandemic. I truly hope that they are getting enough foot traffic. For a restaurant that focuses on plant-based only food, they should get more accolades from people who prefer this type of diet. With that said, they have my utmost support for sure!! I'll definitely be back soon. I will try one of the noodle bowls at my next visit."

"Love this place and these people. We're very lucky to have a vegan spot like this in Denver. Others have come and gone but they keep it going despite all the things thrown at them"
"First time trying this place since moving to this area. Only got take out, the food is delicious. I should've gotten hot, the medium is mild, but like I said first time trying here. Their garlic is more puffy than some other Indian places and their samosas are a little smaller but flavorful. Will try them again, my food was ready for pickup in 20 minutes."
"The food! The sushi was nice and flavorful and just the right amount. The ramen!!!!!! Yes, i'm screaming because it was that good-too 3 in Denver periodddd"
"Family owned, quaint and cute! The service is impeccable although sometimes they can get overwhelmed on busy nights! Some of the best Indian in Denver area! I always get the Shrimp Korma and the Old Monk beer is awesome! Hugely underrated restaurant in castle pines!"
"I've never met a pizza I didn't like.. until now. Seriously, if you know me, you know I love pizza. Anything from a major chain, to a walk up spot, to a gourmet pie. I love it all. I really don't think you can go wrong with crust and cheese and toppings. Well, sadly I have been mistaken.We were in the area for some drinks and I had not tried this spot yet so we decided to order a few slices. My fiancé got two slices of cheese and I got a slice of margherita. The patio was pretty packed, but there was no one in line at the walk up window, so we walked on up and placed our order. Our slices came out about 2 minutes later. Immediately, I noticed my margherita looked absolutely devastating. If you peep the photo I took, you can see there is zero sauce and the toppings are so dried up and sad looking. I thought maybe I'd still give it chance and hopefully it tasted better than it looked. Well, biting into it tasted like it had been sitting out all day. It was cold and stale. I was so bummed because this spot has been on my list for quite some time. I'm hoping we just went on an off night. I do know that it wasn't just my slice that was off, because I tasted my fiancés cheese pizza and it was bland, cold, and also stale. This may be the first time ever that I didn't finish my pizza. Not sure if I'll be back to give it another chance. But hoping others have better luck than we did."

I was hesitant to try Ethiopian in an out of restaurant context, but man did Abyssinia deliver!! I placed a delivery order through Grubhub, it arrived very promptly. The portions were sizeable (I got the 3-meat and 7-Veg samplers) with plentiful Injera (will make for three large meals). The flavors were bold! I could pick up the ginger, cardamom and garlic distinctly in the various vegetable sides. Beyond delicious! They even threw in a small house salad, which was dressed perfectly. Yum. I am surprised to say I think this delivery order was actually the best Ethiopian I've had in Denver so far. And I'm definitely looking forward to picking up food here in the future. Go for it!

This place has been on my list for awhile and I finally got to stop here for lunch the other week. So pleased to see the menu is all Asian food ranging from appetizers to bowls to noodles. I didn't come in with a game plan so I asked the cashier what was popular/good because I honestly had no idea what I was feeling. She recommended the beyond meat dan dan noodles and mentioned it was spicy, I love spicy so that sounded good.Waited a little, got the food and it was piping hot with the dan dan mixture/sauce along with some bok choy. I took a few bites and wasn't in love with it, the bok choy pieces were huge so had to cut through (was eating with chopsticks) but really the thing I noticed was an overwhelming taste of mustard which was a turn off. I was expecting the heat from the sauce which definitely was there but I couldn't get over the taste of mustard so I took the rest to go.I am a person who loves leftovers and usually excited to have them. I really had to hype myself up to have these and not throw it away. But I persevered and doctored them up with some additional veggies, spring rolls and chili oil a few days later and it was a lot better. I would come back again even though I am not a vegetarian, the reviews are amazing and the menu looks solid. I'll be sticking the bao next time around.

Absolute fire food and service. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 2pm and they let us indulge ourselves with the buffet. Got a little of everything and whoa so much complex flavors. Complementary naan and dessert. Beats the hunger. Would come again.

So I'm not vegan but I have been trying some of Yelp's Top 100 list if I end up visiting a certain city on my normal travels.I stopped in and ordered an Ebi Tempura Roll to go. OH. MY. I feel like I could be vegan and just eat this - I'd be absolutely happy with that! I sometimes lean on the picky side of eating but this could have fooled me. Whatever they used as the "shrimp tempura" was great and I would definitely order it again. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I would say though, I ordered online and it gave me a pick up time but I got a text about 20 min sooner than that, saying it was ready but I wasn't planning until arriving just before the ETA. I just get a little cautious of my food waiting so long so that was a little off putting. Other than that, would probably return on my next Denver trip!

What do you learn from cows, buffalos and elephants? You cannot reduce weight by eating grass and walking. It's impossible. So might as well splurge and enjoy the good food out there. So happy Tandoori Flames is my hidden neighborhood gem and one of the best ethnic restaurants in Castle Pines. Tucked in the smaller strip mall coincidentally next to my favorite nail shop, you will find Ruby slaving ingredients from scratch over a hot stove serving some of the best Indian food I have had in awhile. Authentic, fresh and so worth the drive here. But most of all, you'll come to chat up with Ruby. She's darling, one of a kind and certainly one of the most friendly welcoming owners and restaurateurs. Start with the garlic naan and cheese naan. Yummy for the tummy. And perfect for dipping in the chicken tikka masala sauce. Perfection honestly. Hands down, I am a big fan of the sizzling kabob dinner platters. So tender and flavorful, generous in size I would recommend the Seekh kabob. Naturally I couldn't wait to finish my meal so I could have the masala chai tea and kheer dessert. Ooeemmggee I went to heaven. The honey and sugar in the kheer is not too sweet, just the right balance of delishness only a fantastic cook like Ruby can capture. This chai is how every tea should be made. The delicate marrying of ginger, cinnamon and cardamom achieved truly a cup of happiness. We did also get to try local Indian beer and my favorite was the Bira comparable to a Hefeweizen. The Old Monk 10000 Super Beer pours a golden light but has sweetness of more a malt beer. Tandoori Flames has been on my list but not everyone is adventurous and a fan of Indian food like I am. Thank goodness this cute guy I snagged loves Indian food. Walking in, it's like being invited into Ruby's home for an intimate get together. So if you are craving homemade Indian food or need a pick me upper after a rough day, come sit and eat Ruby's cooking. Your energy and vibe will change entirely walking in here.

Located on the corner next to the 715 Club in the historic Five Points neighborhood, Famous Original J's takes you to the streets of NYC where pizza by the slice is commonplace. Look for the to-go window along Welton to place your order. There is an outside area with picnic tables you can sit at while you eat your slice. Or hop into the 715 Club with your pizza and order a drink- also fun! Slices are around $5 or you can get a whole pie for less than $30. Pizza by the slice comes out pretty quickly and orders are taken by friendly folk. I crave this pizza! There are a few Famous J's around the metro area, so I would highly recommend stopping in when you see one. It's worth it!

Still loving this place. Tried two "new to me" items of their menu: Classic burger and Chili. Wow! Move over chickin burger I found new favs! The chili is quinoa based and the burger was super juicy. Left super satiated and happy as usual.Clean. Organized layout. Cashier was very patient and helpful.Forgot to take pics but next time I will for sure!

"Im not vegan but my aunt is and she asked if we could go here for lunch so I was happy to try it.You order on a little kiosk, which was convenient. The food was a bit expensive but I know it's not normal fast food. It came out pretty quickly and everything was so good. I would have never known it's wasn't real meat. My burger did fall apart kind of easily but it was so good I didn't care!I'd definitely go back if I saw another location."
"We had such a lovely experience here. The server was wonderful - very attentive. If you get nothing else - get the cauliflower. It was so delicious. It was the star of the meal and we tried many things.The tacos had good flavor but they were the least memorable item we had. Pineapple fried rice - YUM!!!I also had a phenomenal old fashioned as well. As a gluten-free person it was a carefully selected restaurant and 60% of the menu is gluten-free but another 30% could be made to be gluten-free. I was not expecting this cute, trendy, hipster, place from the unassuming front but it was wonderful. I wished that I had more time in Denver to be able to make it to their brunch; next time?The only annoying part about this is that the parking in the area is a PITA and we went during the week during the day."
"Great to finally have a fully vegan restaurant in highlands ranch. Food is greatThe rewards points is also great for discounts I wish they were on door dash"
"This is hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Denver area. My husband and I got takeout and shared:- Shahi Paneer- Mysore Masala Crispy Dosa- Dahi Papari Chaat- Garlic NaanEverything was delicious and full of flavor. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu."
"Delicious Thai food at this little restaurant near Pindustry and Carerra's tacos. I got the massaman curry with chicken which had very delicious flavors. The carrots were particularly amazing to me. Great flavors! I also had their raspberry basil lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. Will be back next time I'm in the area."
"New staff, super fast and kind! Major improvement over a few years ago. Cajun turkey sandwich was great."
"Ordered takeout online. The website says delivery only, but they just mean you can't get the food from this pop-up as dine-in at the caribbean restaurant it shares a kitchen with.The Munashe Curry and Laziji Nuggets were spicyz funky, and unique, and the sesame tofu was well-executed normcore food, smart to have on the menu. Attention to detail with the branding is appreciated as well. Value was shockingly excellent for something so trendy. I'm going to make more rice and get a second meal out of the curry.Excited to see what they do next."
