I thought this was pretty authentic and hole in the wall Indian food! The place to eat in the back of a grocery store so it might not necessary have the best amenities, but food was truly authentic and I thought their Chole Bhatura was some of the most authentic that I've had in the US. I also shared a vada pav and the chutney that came with it felt home made. Their butter chicken and garlic naan was also great and I loved their mango lassi. I would say this restaurant is pretty authentic towards what real Indian food is like which I appreciated! read more

I can't take good food photos (I'm sorry) but I really want to let you know a few things about India's Harvest 1. The Alloo Tikki Chaat is to die for 2. The batura is just like being back in India 3. Everything trends a little mild so order spicier than your usual 4. Pickup is the way to go; it's mostly a grocery store so there's only a few dinky tables in the back to dine-in at. 5. It is all SO GOOD and so affordable. It's barely cheaper to make it all yourself. Go, enjoy, be shocked at the receipt - it's a great experience. read more

India's Harvest - Paneer Tikka masala, Alloo Tikki Chaat & batura - Grocery Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place is full of scammers!! they literally stole $2,500 from me. This was the only store I visited and they stole my money and card information. be careful they have a fake card reader, they even tried to turn off their WiFi to have one of my friends writs down her card information claiming their WiFi was not working, when she said she didn't want the items their machine suddenly started working. this store is full of creeps who I've caught stealing the sweets and up charging their customers. Do not trust them... as they will also steal your card information. They also stole my friends EBT card information, and used all her money. She was not able to get her money back. be careful with these thieves. DO NOT VISIT THEM!! read more

I really wanted to like this place! We were so excited to try a more affordable Indian food, but you really get what you pay for. Paneer Naan barely had cheese and was dry and tasteless. The Panner Masala was half paneer and half bell peppers, but the flavor was ok. The mango lassi tasted really expired and old, like sour milk. The Veg Samosa was delicious, hence the 3 stars. But the basmati rice was hard, old and had no flavor or seasoning. Overall, you pay less for mediocre food and if you're used to delicious premium Indian food, I would skip this place. read more

India's Harvest - Paneer Naan, Mango Lassi, Paneer Tikka masala - Grocery Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Heard a lot about this place .Checked out .Its good. Highly recommended and worth visiting

What haunted me today was cleanliness, or in fact, the sheer lack of it. They were never the best at it but today was different. None of the 5 tables were clean. The floor around the table was dirty, napkins and bits of food everywhere. It is probably not this bad everyday but not even one day should go by, when cleanliness is not given importance in a place where people eat. The food as always was good. Delhi chaat was delicious. They have the best chaat around. read more

Hands down the best Indian food I've had in many years. Place your food order then wander the rest of the store to shop for the treats you'll want later. Lot's of frozen, many chutneys and spices. Small seating area, only three tables, but worth it. So delicious. read more

I went there today to get some tamarind concentrate. The clerk knew just where it was and showed me 2 different sizes. (Sounds silly but the last store I went into, listed as Afghani and Indian, the man had no idea what it was.) Nice store - lots of packaged products and frozen foods. I'll be back. FYI, I'm not of Indian descent but we enjoy Indian food. read more

Scam artists. Overcharged us by $60, admitted their error, said they would process a credit, never did. In the process of disputing with bank. read more

I love this funky little place. What it lacks in decor, it more than makes up for with charm, and a kind staff. The restaurant in the back is my favorite Indian food in Denver. I will drive all the way from Cap Hill to sit in the strange mini cafeteria style eating area to have lunch. It is completely worth it especially for the prices. Portions are generous. The flavors and consistencies are amazing every time. Yommm!!! read more

India's Harvest - This combo! - Grocery Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It is a grocery shop with a small Vegetarian restaurant in a corner. Ambience is not appealing, but the food is good. People sometimes even wait in line for the food. They have the best Indian Chaat Items in Colorado. Samosa chaat, bhel puri, pav bhaji etc. They also serve Dosas, biryani, south Indian / north Indian Thaali. Food - 4 stars, ambience - 1 star, energy - 2 stars, service -2 stars, cleanliness - 0 stars, Prices - 4 stars And don't even think about going to the restroom, it's the worst part. Even the grocery store is disorganised. read more

In a grid liberally dotted with purveyors of South Asian food items (Bombay Bazaar, Masalaa, Ananda Bazaar, Star of India, oh wow!), India's Harvest stands out as a fascinating example of multitasking at work. Yes, there is the expected array of digestive biscuits, henna dye, prepackaged veggie meals, Pakistani Rooh-Afza herbal syrup and, er, psyllium husk (for those less-than-regular interludes). But tucked at the back of the shop is something more. Yes, you guessed it - a chaat-wallah. Don't tell me to wash my mouth out with Clorox! Chaat-wallah is the Hindi term for a snack vendor, and the charming husband-and-wife proprietors of India's Harvest ensure that hungry shoppers can be satiated by a tableaux of all-vegetarian offerings. (And if you spend at least $15 in the store itself, you get a discount in the canteen! Neat, huh?) For a change of pace, feast on Sabudana Vada (pearly sago grains lovingly formed into cutlets, then fresh-fried). Or a Samosa Chaat - an enormous potato pastry liberally drenched in tamarind chutney, coriander chutney and sundry other delights. And verily, the Ragda Pattice (fried pea patties awash in a memorable Masala) has its admirers too, yours truly among them. But these are just a few of the items that will entice you. Truly, the snackbar at India's Harvest will give you blessings without the bloat. read more

Very good customer service, This is a well kept , well stocked, very clean store and the staff behind the counter are very helpful and nice to interact with. Their selection of desi snacks is amazing and it is well organized. Please visit this store and support this small business , you will be pleasantly surprised. Their prices are reasonable as well and remember its Ok to pay a little bit extra for good selection and good customer service. read more

Normally you wouldn't expect there to be a "HIDDEN" place to eat in the very back of of grocery store but if your lucky enough to find it then your also lucky enough to get a real taste of India! Foods great & original! If you need help reading the menu then their more then happy to explain everything to you too! Give this a try & taste the real India! read more

Had a very bad experience today, they have charged me for chaat but did not gave me, tried to called couple of times. Do not answer phone calls. I took chole batore to be honest it sucks. read more

We sat at the restaurant and the food was good. We ordered some masala dosas. I wish the seating area was nicer as it was hard to find a spot. The service was okay as it took some time. It is convenient though that you have a grocery store. The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner as well and I feel that the hand soap was watered down soap, not hygiene friendly for sure. read more

I've eaten Indian food for 45 years, including during 6-7 trips to India over the years. I can also cook a pretty good, if limited, menu myself, although I would never admit to being able to open an Indian restaurant. I've eaten at a dozen or more Indian restaurants in the Denver area, and have found them all lacking, either in taste, aroma, or both. Some are also quite expensive. If you're looking for absolutely authentic VEGETARIAN Indian food in the area, stay away from the restaurants and stop in at this little Indian grocery store. There are a few tables in the back where you can eat freshly prepared food that measures up to the best family cooking I've ever eaten... as good as my mother-in-law's! Don't look for a buffet that keeps food warm for hours. Instead, have "dhaba" type food at India's Harvest. Try the Delhi Chaat and the Chhole Batura, which are my favorites, but you'll find tasty food no matter what you order. This place is great, and the people who work there are friendly and welcoming. I don't understand how anyone could review this place and make negative comments about the staff because I've eaten there perhaps 25 times and they are always friendly. Perhaps that reviewer caught them on an exceptionally busy day, or maybe that reviewer simply believes he/she needs special executive treatment! read more

The grocery itself is in a small space, but go to the back and order some amazing, authentic Indian food that will leave you coming back again and again. read more

If you are used to frequenting Indian grocery stores in Denver area, you are probably also used to the thick skinned, rude and downright condescending attitudes of their owners/staffs. Think Bombay Bazaar, Masala (just yards away on the other side of the complex). After all they are the great people who provide us our daily bread (kinda). Well thankfully, this one is a welcome change. The staff is friendly, selection is huge, prices are competitive and in many cases also better than Bombay Bazaar. Their Cafe with awesome chaat is cherry on the cake. That said, this being another desi establishment, service is not their forte. At least not yet. While the staff is well meaning and friendly; often not very efficient. More apparent in the Cafe where even an order queue of 2-3 tables could mean a wait of 20-30 mins. My suggestion would be to order at the Cafe - shop - when your order is ready, eat - shop :) Overall, I recommend them, definitely over Masala and Bombay Bazaar and would be a regular for near future. read more

Amazing food. Special mention to chhole bhature. It tasted serene. Mango lassi was good too. We ordered vada pav and Delhi chaat as well. Both were amazing. We have tried dosas here as well. They taste good as well. Overall 5/5 for food. Service 5/5. You have to wait a long time for your order but that's understandable since this is a grocery store which also has a kitchen so not being harsh to them and giving not getting disappointed by the wait. Overall a good experience. read more

Amazing food and the store owner is just too friendly. I have tried lot of places where they have the food stalls inside the store and they suck - But this place is a gem and and the food tastes just right Try the dosa's - the perfect taste Even the chaat items are too good Sairam read more

It is unbelievable how many Indian shops/restaurents we have in these couple of blocks. Bombay Grocery, Masaala, Star of India, Anandh Bazaar and India's harvest. I have actually found a shortcut (shorter than already!) for getting from India's Harvest to Bombay Grocery. Just travel for a minute on E Dartmouth from Indias Harvest.If you look to your left, you will see the backside of the dive bar near Bombay Grocery. There is a entrance to the parking lot there. Why i like India's Harvest? 1. They stock the Rotiland chapatis which work well with my limited cooking skills. (I have found that Costco also has'em!) 2. They stock some vegetables which are good quality, if i am lazy to drive to H Mart. 3. The mini-restaurent inside. The dosas and Chana Bhaturas they serve are pretty good. Yummy! One problem: If your bill is below a certain limit, they don't accept cards. I understand why many local small shops have this problem, but still an annoyance. read more

My wife and I moved out from California a year and a half ago. We had only heard of Bombay Bazaar and were stuck with it. Then we heard about India's Harvest and their amazing chaat. This is hands down the best place in denver if you're craving chole bhaturey, papri chaat, samosa chaat, or any other chaat you can think of. Prices are also very reasonable (MUCH more so than masalaa next door). Not only that the aunty that makes the food makes it absolutely perfect. I highly recommend the papri chaat--they put some annar (pomegranate) in it which adds to the awesome flavor. Definitely plan on returning every week! read more

This is one of the worst organized grocery store I have even been to. Avoid it if you can just because there is another good one right across the street. read more

Love the food here. Agree the ambience isn't so attractive but once you taste the food nothing matters. All the indian snacks taste yummy here. I have tried their pondicherry dosa, pav bajis, gobi 65,chats and chole baturas. All of them were fresh melting and good. read more

India's Harvest - Yummyy !! - Grocery Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Not easy to find, tucked between a tattoo parlor and a liquor store. It is on south Peoria in one of Aurora's typical strips. The eatery is in the back of a amazing grocery store, 4 tales, a small kitchen area and a very helpful manager owner. Not your typical Americanized East Indian fare, more like Mumbai street foods. Terrific. We will go back. read more

This is an excellent hidden gem in Aurora. The restaurant/eatery itself is hidden nicely inside a humongous Indian grocery store. It is a vegetarian spot, but the options are numerous and very accommodating. They a decent set of Indian tiffin items (light food) i.e dosas, pooris, idli, etc. They also have a good number of chat items, quite possible the best in Colorado. Their prices are more than reasonable, giving you a ridiculous discount when you shop their groceries as well. The service is friendly and extremely courteous. The Aloo Tikki Chole Chaat and their Pani Puri is a personal favorite. I did notice that their most popular item was the Chole Batura. I will be back for more. Delicious food. 5 stars. read more

I have been going to Indias harvest for about 2 years. Lots of variety of food and we love the Vijaya brand chapattis that are far better than the pervasive Rotiland brand. I usually run into my colleagues from work since the prices are cheaper then Bombay Bazaar. The owner always helps me if i cannot find something and promises to stock things quickly . The chaat cafe is also another great reason to shop there . Food is delicious and comes out fresh and piping hot . The one time they gave me someone elses order accidentally , they let me order again for free . Service is prompt and courteous. I see other reviews where people sometimes get expired food. Let me tell you expired indian foodstuffs occur in every grocery store so stop blaming store owners for being rude . you should do a better job of checking expiry dates before you walk out the door. The only down side of this store is the lack of available parking . however its not the owners fault. The bar next door seems to have patrons at all times of the day and they usually hang around near the door smoking and littering the place. read more

I wish I cloud give then 0 star but I can't. This is the worse grocery and Indian food I ever tried. The owner of this place do not know how to take care of their customer. He said that their food is the best in city I think he don't know that there is the other Indians restaurant in town. They have lack of service and the food. I will not recommended this place for anyone. read more

After having been a loyal patron for years, my family has decided to take their business elsewhere. Although they boast a fair array of imported foods and have a chaat cafe, the service is horrendous (think rude, patronizing staff that project their issues onto other people), and the cafe is filthy. A dhaba on the side of a street in India is cleaner than this place. I feel bad for the folks who don't know that there are other options in Aurora where you can shop - a great example is Anand Bazaar, just down the street on Parker and Dartmouth. We'll see you there! read more

This was the worst experience of my entire life. I simply came here looking for roasted cumin (jeera). Upon entry, a short light complexion Indian man (perhaps the owner) offered me a basket. I thanked him but politely declined since I was only picking up 1-2 items. I didn't see the roasted cumin, so I asked if he had any. He said no but directed me to his cumin seeds. I told him thank you and since this was my first visit, I'll look at the general prices real quick and leave. He said, "Okay." He then creepily followed me around (closely during COVID-19), acting like he was keeping tidy (all within a minute or less). Apart from COVID-19, this was also a general invasion of space. I then said to him, "Do you want me to leave?" He hypocritically replied, "Yes. Considering the times, I want you to leave." Meanwhile, a white man was just strolling through the store in a very casual manner. I honestly wanted to push the "owner" back when he invaded my space, but I know in this context, I would appear as the aggressive one. So, I called the "owner" a "d**k," and left upon his request. I had an eerily similar experience at Laxmi Foods nearby. Everest Indian Groceries is the only place that treats me with respect like any human deserves. Just communicate and be clear instead of approaching people closely and being rude. I might have Corona now from how close he got to me. I was not planning on staying in this clustered store for long, so this was all disrespectful and worthy of being noted for the general public. read more

Used to be good.. Today had a horrible experience. Tried to order a small to go order but the person at the counter refused to take it because it was 25 mins before close.. Very rude.. Wow..never going again.. read more

One of the biggest Indian grocery stores I visited in Denver. Mostly all the Indian grocery items are available. They have a min restaurant inside the store. They have a limited menu and not like one in the restaurant. Try out the Dosa at this place. I ordered masala Dosa, to my surprise I found no curry (smashed potato curry) inside it and they gave it separately in a bowl. The food is fresh and piping hot. I also tried the south indian thali on the other day and the food is delicious. If you purchase the items from the store and you will get a discount on the food which you order. read more

The cafe in the back of the grocery store is very much worth checking out. I tried a few dishes, vegetarian Indian cuisine, very different from the usual fare at most Indian restaurants. read more

Excellent place for Indian Chaat around Denver. The service could be a little better given that it is inside a grocery store. Do try Sabudana Vada and Pav Bhaji Dosa. read more

Really like their chat items... very tasty and pretty cheap. For $12, had samosa chat and plain dosa, which will cost $20 in other Indian restaurant in denver area. read more

Did you ever had pani-puri / chaat on a road side bandi in India? If yes, then you shouldn't find the place messy at all:) Besides the ambiance, the snacks taste really good. All the dosas, chaats n thalis are really tasty and served hot. My personal favorite is samosa - super crispy n tasty. I can just stop by for samosas. Pros: Low prices, tasty food. Cons: Not good for big groups read more

Nice place to have indian snack. But always crowded on weekends making the space too small for people to move around.
