Best Indian restaurant in Denver metro, hands down! I can't believe I haven't written a review…read moreyet!! The Spice Room in the Highlands is the best one too, the others are great but this one is the best. A fantastic meal with good service at a great price- hard to come by in Denver! A few dedicated parking spots in front or otherwise on the surrounding streets.. whatever it is, don't let it deter you from coming bc they won't let you down. There's ~15 tables & everything is so fresh! You're served complimentary sauces with a thin roti-like cracker, and the sauces are all so good- my favorite is the cilantro one or the tamarind sweet one.. and they all go great on your dishes. The best appetizers are the samsosa chhole chaat- it's like a deconstructed samosa with crunchy bits & sauces on top, soooo good you won't want a regular samosa again! My other favorites are Chicken 65 & the veggie pakora (fried veg nests). Those 3 alone are enough for 2 people, but if you're super hungry, the entrees won't let you down either! Chicken makhani, biryani, tandoori chicken &/or the curries are where you'll never go wrong. All in all, I suggest you prioritize this Spice Room if you're even slightly an Indian food fan! Their variety of northern & southern Indian foods along with street food dishes are phenomenal.

At level 2 (spiciness), I could have utilized a tad bit more of the heat even though I pretty much never describe myself as a spicy food fanatic. But what do people say? 80% satisfaction is the best way when consuming food (they say so especially in the amount or quantity) so the heat part should get equally be considered, right? Yeah, that sounds about right! Had I gotten me the level 3 the heat might have overtaken the whole enjoyable experience. Saag paneer is always the safest option at any Indian restaurant (at least for me) and this Unique Indian proved so as well. The accompanying yellow rice and the additional garlic naan entertained me to the point where I was simply satisfied. Whereas it wasn't exceptional everything was simply good. What I would like to do next is actually visit the store and see for myself as to the service and the interior of the restaurant because these two elements appear to check out as well (based on other people's experiences.) All in all, it was a good first experience with this restaurant. Since this place is fairly close from my house my next occasion will probably be an in-person visit either dine in or take out. Looking forward to that for sure.

Very high quality food, generous portions, lovely staff. This is my go-to and I have never been disappointed. Of course because it's Indian, what we call spicy and what they call spicy are two different things, so maybe go a little milder than you think. But definitely give it a try! You won't be disappointed. Update October 2026 : My first review was from 8 months ago. And while I eat there with some regularity, I had dinner there tonight with guests and everyone raved about the food, how fresh and delicious it was. One guest in particular was delighted with his lamb masala. The restaurant just never disappoints, always consistently delicious and amazing. Not to mention quiet enough to talk. They do a brisk takeout business (this was a Friday night) but it's also really nice to eat there. I just can't recommend this place highly enough.

Both came out around the same time about 15 mins after ordering. The soup was tasty--simple, reasonably flavourful, but nothing to set it apart. The tofu saag, however, was fantastic--not a dish you usually see. Adequately spicy for the "medium+" that I requested, with tofu, pureed spinach, and all sorts of spices, served with brown rice. Good portion and very satisfying overall. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Great spot in the not-so-food friendly (not to mention vegan-friendly) RiNo neighbourhood.

Made me feel right at home. And the server was very attentive and answered any and all the questions we had about the food! My go tos at an Indian restaurant are typically a mango lassi, garlic naan, and a lamb Rogan Josh or lamb curry. I saw they had something I hadn't heard of before so I had to try it, the Chettinad chicken curry. I think that was my favorite! Food was seasonable perfectly (not surprised) and medium was the perfect spice level for us. Would recommend if you're downtown and looking for GOOD Indian food!

It was delicious and came with well-seasoned fries and a tasty sauce. The baklava was also really yummy and a nice way to finish the meal. Unfortunately, the tofu korma was quite bland after the burger. We ordered both the burger and the korma at medium spice, but neither had much heat, so if you enjoy spicy food, you may want to request hot. The garlic naan had a nice, thin texture, but I was hoping for a stronger garlic flavor. The ambiance while we waited for our takeout was fun, with good music and a nice atmosphere. Service was friendly, although we did have to ask for utensils, so you may want to double-check that you have everything you need before leaving with your order.

Gave off a strong "I don't want to be here" vibe and was not particularly attentive (and was definitely not busy). We ordered two specials: lamb shank and the fish curry along with cilantro naan. Had really high hopes for both and they fell very flat. For the high price, portions were also a bit sad. The lamb was overcooked to the point of severe dryness and the fish was also overcooked, resulting in an almost rubbery texture. The rice was fine (kinda hard to ruin that) and the naan was also a bit overdone. We didn't order any dessert given the quality of the entrees. I'm really bummed. Indian is my favorite cuisine and I live within walking distance and could easily have become a regular. Unfortunately I will not be returning.
