Taz Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (278) • $$

"This by far is our favorite and go to Indian place! We always get the butter chicken (medium is a good amount of spice for someone who can't have too much spice) and it's perfect to share for 2 people. We've also gotten the saag paneer, samosas, naan and paratha. They are always generous with the rice (packed to the brim, open the box over a bowl so the rice doesn't spill out!) This is my favorite meal to order during the week as theres plenty leftover."

V Revolution

★★★★☆ 4.4 (204)

"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."

Snarf’s Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48)

"We got into town late and didn't know what to eat. The guys at the local dispensary directed me here when I said I wanted salad. I was a little skeptical but the salad with rotisserie chicken was really good, and the girls working were super sweet and friendly."

Vital Root

★★★★☆ 4.4 (542) • $$

"Stopped in for lunch. Cute trendy vegan spot. A little on the pricey side, but quality ingredients and all dishes adjustable to accommodate food allergies/special diet restrictions. Left feeling full, but not heavy, and better knowing we fueled with good-for-you foods. Ordered the chagaccino, mushroom coffee. Delicious! A little sweet, hint of cinnamon, alkalinity of the shrooms cuts the espresso acidity. One of my new faves!! Also ordered the huge Vital Cobb bowl add "chicken," crispy bits like bacon, creamy dressing. Yummm. Friend had a Pad Thai. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked good, tacos, bowls, sandwiches. Great friendly service, staff is knowledgeable of the menu. All around A+ pick if you are in the area."

★★★★☆ 4.1 (381) • $$

"Excellent Authentic Thai, This spot has been our go-to for a number of years now I'm just now getting around to getting a review done. I get a sense of soup *azi vibe when ordering over the phone or online, outside of that they know their cuisine well."

Root Down

★★★★☆ 4.4 (4019) • $$

"While visiting Denver for a conference, I had a chance to meet up with a friend who moved here from NYC and his partner. He's an excellent chef in his own right and a verified foodie, so I let him pick a place and he suggested Root Down and it was stellar.I immediately loved the vibe of the place when we walked in...bustling and fun but not shrill. The serving staff was very nice. Drinks were terrific and the food was superior. I had the fried chicken and goat cheese biscuit and could have easily eaten another serving it was so good. The fried chicken was heavenly and I loved the biscuit with the goat cheese. Everything was just spot on.My friends and I split a banana cream pie for dessert. It's not like the traditional pie you'd think of when you hear "banana cream pie" but it was delicious and we may or may not have fought over the last scrumptious bite!I really liked this place and would definitely return. If I lived in Denver, this would be in my regular rotation for sure."

Serendipity Coffee Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (11)

"I didn't intentionally find this coffee shop; I literally stumbled into it one day. As in, I stumbled into their sign as I was walking by and discovered it tucked away just inside the entrance of the Alliance Center, close by the Union Station. It turned out to be a great find! This is one of the very few places downtown that I know of that serves Pablo's Coffee, which is what piqued my interest since I am a big fan of their light roast. The menu items are standard for most coffee shops: au lait, cappuccino, the works. I chose the au lait in the light roast with extra foam. Creamy and light without any bitterness, which is exactly my version of a great cup of joe. You know they definitely brew their coffee well here when you don't need to add any sugar for it to taste good.They also have some tasty pastries that go well with their drinks; I chose the pineapple coconut bread that was the perfect touch of sweetness to my unsweetened coffee. The people are nice and are accommodating to your preferences, which was very welcoming as a first time customer! I'll be coming back, intentionally this time, in the future."

"Those sweet potato fries, though! If you're looking for low carb, whole grain vegan food, look no further. We had the Twister Wrap and the Orange Cauliflower Bowl yesterday -- absolute yumminess. The Twister Wrap is a low-carb option for those of you who care, but it's the most flavorful crispy "chicken" wrap I've had in a while. You get all the textures, which makes this handheld food perfect. (You get the option of grilled or buffalo style as well.) I highly recommend the chipotle sauce option! The wrap comes with a side, and of course I chose sweet potato fries (see my note below).The Orange Cauliflower Bowl looks like real orange chicken and the mix of corn, brown rice, scramble was just the perfect mix. The knowledgeable ladies who took our orders were super accommodating and just very cool about our requests. Our food was executed perfectly. Portion-wise, were both noticing that it was just the right amount.Bonus, which gave this place a 5 stars right away was their decaf and no-sugar iced tea option: hibiscus tea. Hoping their dessert parfaits options will come sugar free some day, or at least low sugar, because I want to destroy those in the best way possible.Also, hat tip to our Uber driver who recommended the sweet potato fries (LOL). They were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. That salt, pepper, herb and cinnamon (?) sprinkle over the fries was just... wow. I'm going to try to recreate it at home because I can't stop thinking about it.Came here for dinner yesterday on a windy evening in Denver! Got specific here as I heard they're planning to expand elsewhere, so I hope they come to L.A.!"

Azafran Indian Cuisine - Azitra

★★★★☆ 4.2 (645) • $$

"I've been here before when it was still Azitra. They re-branded sometime after the pandemic. It's in a strip mall and parking is plenty! Delicious food and amazing cocktails. They got square footage here! Azafran is an Urdu word for saffron.My fave find here was their Rara Lamb Shank and their very unique and amazing desserts. First off I've never tried a Carrot Pudding like this! It's like what the description says. It's velvety! To make this dessert is a labor of love from what I heard. The difference in temperature between the plate and the pudding surprised us! The House made ice cream shaped like a cheese and soo creamy! The rest of the dishes were equally good but I'm a lamb girl and this is it! Very memorable. Kudos to @chefsauravm for the yummy dishes!"

Tandoori Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (253) • $$

"The lunch buffet is back, hooray! It is laid out the way I remember from before COVID, with about a half dozen entrees and a half dozen sides, plus a cold table of fresh vegetables and kheer. They bring you fresh-baked naan while you are eating, as well as having naan on the buffet table. My favorite dish here is still the chicken tikka masala, which is one of the choices in the buffet. The buffet is available during lunch time (11-2 Tuesday through Friday) for $14.99."

Tarasco's

★★★★★ 4.5 (423) • $$

"I searched this place up wanting to get a quality smothered burrito experience that was also vegetarian-friendly. This was clearly the right place, with ample vegan variations on the menu (though I got mine vegetarian with a sprinkling of cheese on top). Options were distinctive, and I loaded up. My burrito was quite beautiful, and the sauce elevated the array of plant-based ingredients inside. A chocolate corn drink delivered the promised mix of flavors. I didn't need to add a lentil soup, and while it wasn't fancy, it was hearty and satisfying and lentil soup remains an underutilized food offering in my estimation. This place was in a fairly anonymous suburban area but was brightly decorated inside. I could have ordered a dozen other things if I'd had room."

Unofficial Translation

"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."

The Steamin' Demon

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"I'm pretty sure the creative geniuses (yeah, I said it, they're GENIUSES) behind Watercourse and City O City crept into my food dreams one night, Inception style, and extracted the Loco Moco right out.Okay, okay, I'm fully aware that it's actually a Hawaiian plate lunch dish....not something that I would ever conceive of. But could a veggie version seriously get more perfect? I can't stop thinking about it or about how I can get some more.I finally got to check this place out at the Justice League for Street Food party over by the Metro apartments. I had the idea of it in my head all day the day before (I was hungover, it happens) and was first in line when the carts started serving food.It was more than I hoped. Every bite was amazing. They take a bowl, put in a scoop of sticky rice, a perfectly crispy on the outside pinto bean/quinoa patty, a generous amount of their delicious gravy, an overeasy (and perfectly runny) fried egg, a dollop of guac, and hot chile paste to your prefence. It reminds me of something I'd do at home only they get every element down perfectly (sometimes my veggie gravy is too sweet...theirs is not....as I mentioned before, they are geniuses). The chile paste provided just enough burn when incorporated into every bite and I ate way too much before I knew it.Since then, I've managed to commit their daily schedule to memory so I can figure out where to stalk them next. I'd like to try the bahn mi someday, I really would....but I can't stop thinking about the Loco Moco."

Snarf's Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.7 (705) • $$

"Snarfs is my favorite local sandwich shop/chain in Colorado! Each sandwich is handcrafted with love and fills me up every single time. I've tried most of what they offer but a couple stands out particularly their motherclucker and Italian sandwiches. Their house peppers are to die for and adds a nice little zing to each bite! In the photo was their special which was the Italian but with meatballs and marinara which was amazing.Ok but what about their off menu offerings? Boy get the Mother clucker now! Rotisserie chicken, veggies and the secret ingredient...honey! It adds a nice little sweetness which cuts into the saltiness to the toppings. You won't be disappointed! We've only been two of their locations, which are the cherry Creek and University shops, but both provide amazing service and good eats."

"Went to a business event and they were kind enough to serve lunch. They ordered Mad Greens catering. It was my first time seeing the catering from the restaurant and I liked the packaging. So easy to set up. The food came in boxes which could be unfolded to become a food station. And the salad dressing in bottles. Quick set up and easy clean up. The wraps they ordered were half wraps of various types. I had the Albert E's BLT and it was delish. Sometimes wraps can be dry but this one was just right. Not swimming in sauce/dressing and not dry. The build your own salad bar was great with blt and avocado and meats to choose from. And the cookies - had a chocolate chip cookie and went back for one more. Soft and moist and not too sweet. Definite win for business lunch."

The Corner Beet

★★★★☆ 4.2 (438) • $$

"This little darling in Caphil will be a decade old in its location this coming August. It's been quietly sitting at the corner of North Ogden and 14th Avenue. Serving creative made from scratch clean eats to their increasing fan base. It started as a cold pressed juice company. The owner realized the place can offer more than juice due to its size. They started offering coffee, toasts, salads and more! This plant loving spot has such a welcoming vibe. We dropped by for a quick brunch which they offer on weekends. True confession. We're meat eaters but we always strive to eat healthy. So here we go! Everything we tried was honest to goodness delicious! My fave was the Thai Peanut Salad. Texture and taste was above what I expected it to be. I'm ecstatic! The Falefel Wrap. Freshly cooked falafel is the way to go! Filling and oh so tasty! The Zaatar Flatbread was company's favorite.

"All these top notch reviews cannot be wrong. Curry Kitchen's food is amazing on every single level. You get what you pay for; flavorful, fresh and huge portions which make for great leftovers the next day. This is a family-owned business and you will get treated well here. They have a space for dining (no outdoor seating), ample parking that's free, and also offer takeout or delivery. They're open 365 days a year. You will get hot, fresh food that will make you look forward to your next experience."

Pho 95

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1514) • $$

"We stopped by here for a take out. Took about 15 minutes to order and walk out with the food. They give really big portions, lots of rice with huge pieces of cucumbers and tomatoes. Fish oil sauce is good too. I liked the grilled chicken they made, but couldn't enjoy the chicken satay. It was too dry and hard to chew. The grilled shrimp was good, not burnt. Overall it was a decent Vietnamese meal but no where close to the best ones we have previously dined in."

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."

Flower Child

★★★★☆ 4.4 (275) • $$

"Convenient location, spacious dining room, friendly staff, good selection of food and beverage items. What else should I mention about this healthy eatery? I don't know how many times I had passed by this place whenever I was in Cherry Creek. As much as I wanted to try it so badly, I got sidetracked each time. But finally, yesterday, I had a chance to check it out. And the experience was good. What I like about this place is the fact that they have several wines on tap. This is a huge plus for me. During a late lunch hour, on top of the several sides and the soup of the day (in a bowl) for us to share, I had to get me the Sauvignon Blanc on tap (they also have Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir on tap.) What we got were...Cauliflower Risotto (side), Sweet Potato (side), Brown Rice (side) and Daily Soup (Thai Chicken Curry with Mushroom, Coconut and Lime), Sauvignon Blanc (tap) and Arnold Palmer. Let me rate each one (except Arnold Palmer as I didn't taste this one.)-Sauvignon Blanc: This is a decent Sauv.Blanc. Crisp and light. For $8, I'll go back here just for this as a casual lunch or even early dinner.-Cauliflower Risotto: Is a bit too salty to my liking and yet, overall, this is not a bad dish to order as a side. The portion size is decent.-Sweet Potato: Enjoyed this one. I have never had sweet potato cooked with bok choy and they are paired well in my opinion. Not too salty at all.-Brown Rice: This is a simply rice dish. Plain and well cooked. Decent is the best way to describe it.-Daily Soup: Like I stated above, it's a Thai Chicken Curry with Mushroom, Coconut and Lime. This is a soup, not a curry dish so it's very soupy (since it's got the curry flavor, I wish this was a bit more curry-ish dish to be frank so I wasn't super impressed with this one and yet, it wasn't a bad dish either.) The portion size is good for the kind of price ($7.95).*Note: all the sides are $5. I'd say eat outside as long as the weather permits. The patio has a good number of tables. Yeah, you'll hear the traffic noise from the 1st Avenue but it's not too bad. It's a good place for all occasions: family dining, ladies' get-together, date, or even solo."

Pho Saigon Basil

★★★★☆ 3.8 (226)

"This is a staple here in Belmar. They have the best Pho. I always get their veggie pho which comes with vegetables(obvi) and tofu. Plus some razzle dazzle of bean sprouts and green onions. The food is always fresh and it never takes longer than 15 mins to get your order from when you placed it. Their spring rolls are also delicious. Again I get the veggie one which comes with tofu and my husband gets the shrimp one and we are always happy with how they look and how they taste. We've been coming here for years and it's definitely well worth it. Especially if you are under the weather come grab some of their pho and you are sure to feel better"
