"Lunch buffet was awesome and was reasonably priced. My favorites were the hot tea,mango dessert, and the tandoori chicken. They had a full bar, but I wasn't up for a drink yet. The service was fine and we were seated quickly. Note that the bathroom is outside, shared with a few of the other businesses there, I assume."

"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!"

"It is nice they have a buffet here. After getting a recommendation to dine at this restaurant, I've come to the realization, it must have been for dinner. At that hour, surely I presume, dishes are prepared to order and hot from the kitchen. Unfortunately, the lunch time buffet is lackluster. While the buffet options reach the level of just enough, the temperatures do not. Hot food is critical. I hope they make improvements. We were one of four tables here at lunch. I do not have to wonder why."

"Based on recent recommendations, I came here for some chaat. We got the sev puri and dahi puri and the dahi puri was really good. What disappointed me is the sev puri was just dahi puri without the dahi - that's not sev puri! You don't serve sev puri in a golgappa puri. Filter coffee was good. I did however try their Vijaywada biryani recently and that was very good. Service is slow! Increasing a star only for their biryani!"

"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!"

"Love, love, love Zaika's! For a gluten free person it's so wonderful going to a place where everything is marked gluten free or not. I had the curry with tofu and medium spice. It had a real zing to it. My husband also had curry with crabmeat. It had chunks of meat in it. It looked so good! Large enough portions so we have dinner tomorrow night also. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant looked very clean. We will be back!"

Little India Restaurant & Bar Wash Park/DU

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (460) • $$

"First time ordering from here, and I'm only giving a 3/5 because the food was hot and delivered quickly over DoorDash. But based on the food alone, my rating would be closer to a 1 or 2/5. The garlic naan was really dry, tasted old--it was so dry and stale it tasted almost more like a cracker and actually CRUNCHED in my mouth--and did not have much garlic flavor. My partner had the chicken tikka masala. The chicken was tender but because the chunks are so large, it tasted dry and wouldn't be palatable without drowning it in sauce, and unfortunately, the sauce itself wasn't very flavorful. I did appreciate that the saag paneer wasn't too salty, though it was a bit bland and flavorless. The papadam was perfect, although we didn't receive any chutney with our order, which I'm used to other Indian restaurants giving. Overall, the food is decent enough if you're really, really craving Indian food and there's no other fast option. But given the price (~$18 per entree), I don't think I would order from here again. Note: the price of the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer includes rice! We didn't know this and ended up with way too much rice because we'd ordered a bowl separately."

"We were in Denver for a short trip and I brought my husband here because he loves a good buffet for his birthday. The ambience was nice as you can see from all the decor. The food was halal which is why we stopped by and there were a lot of veg and non veg options at the buffet. Parking was super easy and if you check in on Yelp you get free chai which was the high point!"

Masalaa

★★★★☆ 3.7 (340) • $$

"I worked in India during my career and fell in love with the food. One of my favorite breakfast/brunch dishes is sambhar and idli. I have been eating at Masalaa for years pre-COVID at their buffet. Now that they are on my drive from the stable, I stopped to order sambhar and idli as it had been a favorite of mine on the buffet. I was greeted with a smile and a nod, my order taken, and I was talked into a Chai to go. I was so pleased with my brunch, two large idli, a nice container of sambhar, and two sauces, tamarind and cilantro. And of course, the chai was as advertised, delicious. I paid around $10 for my meal and thought it was a great deal by today's standards. The dining room is small and cozy for when I decide to eat in. I know this will become a regular."

India's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (309) • $$

"Takeout dinner delivered after holiday swim. The rice was so beautiful and flavorful that I went back for more, then more again. If even the rice receives such attention from the chefs, how wonderful must the entrees be? (Hint: VERY wonderful!). No photos, because we were all too hungry (and I forgot). This is the best Indian meal I've ever enjoyed, from the naan to the lamb samosas to the amazing creamy saag paneer. Did I mention the rice?"

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!!"

"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."

Little Nepal Indian Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (251) • $$

"This place has won every award for years and the food is delicious. That being said, the portions are a giant rip off. The sauce is great but you will only get about an ounce of actual meat in a $20+ entree. The portion for take out is even SMALLER! Absolute rip off.The place is cozy inside. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. Just expect to pay a premium for the absolute minimum. This is unfortunate as we love supporting local businesses and we love the cuisine, but damn. $20+ for about a cup and a half of sauce and an ounce of meat. This is unacceptable. I can go to any local Taco Star and order a $4 taco and get as much protein as a $20 entree from this place."

"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."

Naan Curry Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (195) • $$

"When I utilized this business a little while back, I really didn't have a great experience; it was mostly not so great service where the lady who assisted me had no friendliness in her facial expression or words she uttered. My daughter who recently got a takeout from here pretty much agreed with me when it came to service (although she absolutely enjoyed the food itself.) I, however, believe in giving people or businesses a second chance so I went here just the other night to get myself a quick dinner (to which my daughter accompanied me.) To my surprise, I had a much better experience this time. The male worker upfront immediately greeted us upon arrival; he was polite with professionalism. He didn't rush me in any way; he patiently waited until I knew what I wanted. Once I had told him what I wanted he immediately transacted the order to which I settled the tab. While I was waiting for my food, I took the time to look around the restaurant to notice everything inside the it. The restaurant was very clean. The long/skinny layout of it is somewhat modern. It also has a good size patio seating. All the way back to the end (east side of it) there is a party area/room. It appears it can possibly hold 30-40 people. There was a customer who dines here on a regular basis (he also identified himself a friend to the business owner) and he friendlily spoke to us as he noticed us when walked in. He was sort of acting like the spokesperson of the restaurant and he said to talk to the manager if we had any questions or problems with anything with this place as the manager/owner truly cares about their customers' needs and satisfaction. What a nice guys!! After 10-15 minutes, my food was finally ready. At home, I immediately started my meal. Let's get to the main topic of this review: the food!!!Vegetable samosas: my daughter made a recommendation on this. When it comes to samosas I like chunky/dense ones. This restaurant makes their samosas thin. They tasted good but I still like my samosas made chunky stuffed with all kinds of ingredients with more density. These are 7 out of 10.Kari Pakora: Lemony curry with a good amount of kick (its spiciness is quite noticeable.) Unlike other typical curries, this one is not as heavily stewed so the texture is closely resembling to soups (more like) so in that sense, it's a light curry. I've never had a curry like this and I dig this very much; 8.5 out of 10 (the rice that accompanied the curry had a lot of saffron in it. In a way, I like my rice more plain so that it's not too overpowering to kill the flavors of the curry. It wasn't bad though!)To conclude my experience this time, it was quite good; 8 out of 10 for everything I had experienced. This place definitely made the list of my favorite Indian restaurants in Denver for sure."

"Mausam in Old Colorado City is an absolute gem for Indian cuisine! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.We started with the samosas, which were perfectly crisp on the outside and packed with flavorful, spiced potato filling. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken tikka masala and paneer butter masala, and both were phenomenal. The chicken tikka masala had tender, juicy pieces of chicken in a rich, creamy sauce that was perfectly balanced with spices. The paneer butter masala was equally delicious -- the paneer was fresh and the buttery tomato sauce was so good we found ourselves savoring every bite.The portions were generous, and the dishes paired wonderfully with gluten free chickpea bread and fragrant basmati rice. The staff were attentive and kind, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal.Mausam is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors in Old Colorado City. We'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! Highly recommended!"

Everest Nepal Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (169) • $$

"Everest Nepal is the PERFECT antidote to a cold night in downtown. My husband and I ordered paneer korma (recommended by waiter), chicken Nepalese curry, and onion kulcha (recommended by waiter). Every dish exploded with flavor.There are some reviews here about their negative experiences with hosts and servers. That wasn't my experience, but that could've been because I went fairly early (6ish) on a Saturday evening .When I come back, it'll be a challenge for me to not order the exact same things because of how delicious everything was this time around."

"One doesn't usually think of a health sciences campus as a place for delicious food. Chai and Chai blows up that preconception. The food is fast, hot, and delicious. It's a nice lunch departure from the usual sandwich/pizza/American options. And healthy to boot. Don't miss this gem of a place. I would rate this up there with ANY Indian restaurant, bar none. Best dishes: potato curry, saag paneer, lentils. If they agree to make it when they're not too busy: garlic naan! Soooooooo good."

Paradise Tavern

"This restaurant is a hidden gem with a diverse menu! This is a sports bar, bakery with Indian cuisine.We came on Wednesday night and they were pretty busy. Perhaps it was because they were broadcasting the first hockey game of the season. Overall the service was very good. Their menu offers a wide variety of items, ranging from chicken wings to butter chicken, with homemade desserts to finish.We ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and cheese kulcha, and everything was bursting with flavor. The samosas were perfectly crispy, and the mint chutney added a refreshing touch of flavor.The chicken tikka masala had a rich, creamy sauce. The naan and kulcha were the perfect complement. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic and flavorful dishes!"

Gurkhas Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (70)

"This place is decent. It's about $20 for the buffet. There are a couple of different chicken dishes, lamb, and some vegetarian options and soups. A small vegetable selection and free chai. The service is friendly and accommodating, and the booths are cozy and clean.That being said, the lamb was extremely gamey, and the yellow rice tasted gamey as well. It was almost as if the lamb fat was cooked into it. This gave the rice an off-putting flavor, almost stinky. There is white rice as an option next to it, I recommend instead. The naan bread was fresh and hot and very tasty. All in all, I would visit again. The chicken was quite good and the chai tea was very good!"

King Restaurant Indian Kitchen & Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (47)

"We ventured out yesterday and wanted to hit our favorite traditional Indian restaurant but they don't open until 12:00.So we called an audible and decided to give King a try! We had been tracking the great Yelp reviews and said let's do it.The restaurant is decorated very cool like the umbrellas from the ceilings and the bar area. We noticed they had Red Leg Brewery a local craft beer on draw! The lagers were icy cold!Our server, Rakesh, was super friendly and took the time to explain every new dish we wanted to try. We started with an order of the Manchurian Fries and they surely did not disappoint. The fries were crunchy with nice red sauce that also had a wonderful cream sauce. The more fries you ate the heat kept increasing. Well done as we love heat but not when it takes over the taste of the dish.We also tried the Dhai Puri from the Chef's specials! Rakesh shuttled them out and asked if we knew how to eat them. He said to pop the entire shell into our mouths! What a unique dish...the combination was a flavor bomb in my mouth - crunchy shell, potatoes with the cool yogurt and onion/chutney was over the top. Would definitely order again!We also ordered a papdum which was pretty good next time we go with their samosas which looked fantastic at a table next to us!The last item we shared was the Peas Pulao rice dish! Did it deliver...peas, tomatoes, onions the cook was something! The onion had a nice char and color with amazing spice level! We thought the restaurant was immaculate and well attended to, Rakesh was great, and the kitchen team delivers. Don't think you will be able to rush in and rush out the food is cooked to order so be ready to enjoy a relaxed and fantastic menu!"
