This is my FAVORITE Indian food that I've had in Colorado!!! I've had such a hard time finding good Indian. Coming from the east coast where the food was incredible, this spot is definitely a must. The restaurant is so vibey and beautifully decorated. I love that the menu suggests drink pairings for the food. The staff were so kind and attentive. My friend and I went for lunch and we got tandoori chicken, and veggie samosas. I will definitely be back soon to try more. read more

Truly blown away by our dinner this week- we have ordered takeout a few times and always liked the food but haven't had a chance to eat in and finally decided to last week. It's large space and used to be a 50s diner, they have done such a cute job making it uniquely their own AND they saved the booths which I loved. We got there at 5:30 on a Thursday and it was filling up, by the time we left most seats were taken so next time I might call ahead just to be safe. I didn't expect the crowd but so glad to see it. The food was AMAZING - the menu is extensive so they have all of your favorites and then some. Our waitress was very helpful in sharing ideas on what to order so we got a few classics and a few new dishes and really loved it all. Saag Paneer, Jalfrezi with chicken and a few others from the "house specialty entrees". The online menu isn't as extensive as the in person menu so be prepared to put some time into decisions once you arrive! read more

Lamb!! Went hot on the lamb vindaloo and loved it! Very tender. Chicken korma - was very good too. Onion kulcha was warm and had a touch oil that made it legit. Solid all around! Large, large dining area - diner style. Modern and clean, too, including the restrooms. read more

Wow!!! Everything was delicious! I met up a friend and we were both craving Indian food so I suggested the Spice Room. We both have never been. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. But we still got sat right away. Our server was attentive. I ordered a chicken tikka masala and i can't remember what my friend ordered. We also got garlic cheese naan. The flavors were there the naan was so delicious, that I could eat it with every meal. I will definitely be back. It was so good. Definitely one of the better places I've eaten around town in awhile. read more

On Wednesday, April 29 my friend and I met to have dinner at 530pm. This was my first time at your restaurant. The food was very enjoyable and thr chai I had was amazing. At 640pm we were approached by someone who wasn't our waiter and were told we needed to leave as there was a reservation coming in. No one was waiting - in fact there were a few empty tables. We were there 70 minutes. I was so disappointed. Is this common? It would be one thing if we were told prior to sitting down, but we had just paid our bill and I had not yet drank my chai. While our waiter is great that one bad move certainly overshadowed everything else. read more

Met a friend for lunch. There is plenty of parking in the back. They had just opened, so no wait. We were greeted and seated right away. I liked the lunch portion. Even with it being smaller, I still has some to bring home. My first choice was Masala Dosa, but those are not available until after noon and it was 11. I chose Palak Paneer instead. Delish! I went for medium heat and it was just right. I love the spinach and cheese cubes. The rice was hot and fluffy. We had Papadams to start with some chutneys for dipping. Always a nice treat. read more

I have gotten takeout here several times but haven't eaten inside yet. The restaurant looks fine inside, props to the decorator! So far I have had my go-to orders for Indian takeout places, namely Tandoori chicken, goat vindaloo, and malai kofta. The malai kofta had a tiny amount of raisins and some spices that I don't find in the same dish at other restaurants, so it was not what I expected but I could get used to it. They have a tandoori wings appetizer, which is not typical, but not rare, either. It is quite good and I have ordered it twice now. The samosas are acceptable but not the best I've had. The spicy levels are very low compared to elsewhere. I ultimately got the 5/5 for a couple entrees and they were about as hot as a 3/5 elsewhere. I think next time I should ask if they can give me a side of the sauce or spice blend that would make the food hotter. I don't particularly enjoy the front desk experience; I feel like the people greeting me have been uncomfortably brusque. This is not a deal breaker because I only have to exchange 7 words with them, but I feel like they are unhappy to see customers who are walking in. read more

We have now been here twice and have been thoroughly pleased both times. The service was incredible-our server was working so hard and they were quite busy both times we went. The menu is a little overwhelming, with lots of options, but I like reading the little notes about the dishes! The food is soo delicious! I tried the vegetable korma, mild and my husband had the chicken tikka masala, mild. On our second time there, I just had to get the veg korma again and we shared that and a sweet potato tikka masala. Chef's kiss, scrumptious!! And with the rice, good portions, so great leftovers too. We also shared garlic naan and some veg samosas. We love how they redecorated what used to be a diner. It is so gorgeous and unique inside. They did a great job redesigning the place. Will definitely make this a regular spot! read more

This is probably the best Indian food I've had in Colorado. The dosa masala is HUGE, cooked well and tasted phenomenal. Absolutely loved it. Chana masala is very flavorful, and the garbanzo was cooked how I liked it. The lamb jalfrezie is also really delicious. Flavor is delicious and lamb was really juicy. Portions, staff and everything is worth the cost. Love the interior design with a vibe of a diner. Will be back for sure! read more

This is our go to place for dinner out as well as take out! Dining in is so much fun, but be aware it's not the quietest of places if you're sensitive to noise. The restaurant has a fun vibe and the service is good. As for the food, it is my favorite Indian in Denver. The naan is the best I've had and I haven't been disappointed by any dish I've tried. Worth mentioning is the chai. delish! read more

Don't be fooled by the diner-esque floor plan; this amazing restaurant is beautifully decorated and classily comfortable. We stopped in before going to see a play at Arvada Center, based on the wonderful yelp reviews. It was a little hard to find because the Address lead us to a small strip center when the restaurant actually sat as a standalone building behind the strip center, and facing the road. The inside is quite lovely And the people and staff are friendly and helpful. I was so taken by the decor, I had to stop and take pictures of everything as we went to our table. We decided to try a few different items. We had the Saag/Palak Paneer (medium), the tandoori chicken tikka (boneless) with a side of tikka masala sauce, some vegetable Momo, and garlic naan. Every bite was absolutely delicious. I think that may be some of the best sideburner I have ever had. And the prices were very reasonable. read more

Its classic American diner turned Indian restaurant. The staff is extremely attentive. Opted to get a mango lassi and the lunch special Thali with butter chicken and garlic naan. Everything was delicious and large portions for a thali imo (compared to LA). If you are near Old Town Arvada, definitely worth checking out. read more

4.5 stars. Woohoo, there's now an Arvada location of Spice Room! So happy this restaurant keeps expanding. This definitely used to be an old diner. Interesting choice of place to repurpose. Love that there's a huge parking lot. Came here with friends one evening and enjoyed our experience. I got the Lamb Biryani, while my partner ordered his usual Baingan Bharta. Both were phenomenal. Also got Kheer for dessert to share, which was a special treat for everyone. Customer service I think is still working through the new restaurant stages, but I know they'll only improve! read more

This Spice Room is fantastic: I have written two other reviews. Do visit, there are plenty of booths and tables, and the service is impecable. Have a party, or special time with friends, only service dogs are allowed. Most of all BRING YOUR APPETITE!!! Please read my other reviews, Spice room with plenty of parking, easy to find is a difficult place not to WISH TO GO EVERYTIME YOU ARE IN ARVADA BON APPETITE or as in Hindi read more

Second time eating here and it was still amazing!! It's honestly the best Indian we have had in the entire Denver metro area! Just go. Have all of the things. Enjoy the beautiful lanterns and old school diner like booths. The servers were friendly and helpful both times. And the pani puri is our favorite appetizer. We love love loved it!! read more

My partner and I have eaten here a few times. We don't live nearby but it's worth the extra drive. They are set up in an old diner which still has much of its original design incorporated which works well. The host and all staff are friendly. The food is amazing and high quality. Lots of different styles of Indian food available with excellent descriptions on the menu. read more

I thought the food was good. I had a lot of great flavors. Unfortunately, the waiter has such a strong accent. It was hard to understand anything he was saying. They also did not do a very good job of explaining a lot of stuff so I had no idea what to order when asking questions. read more

Service 8/10 food 7/10 I might've ordered the wrong things because there is a lot of options. I recommend you look at their menu before going in! Loved how many diff things they have. The chai tea is a MUST. Best chai ever. I got true veggie curry and it was mid. Platter was also mid. JALAPEÑO CHEESE NAAN WAS THE BEST THING EVER read more

Yum!! The food was spectacular, the decorations are gorgeous, and the service was stellar. I honestly can't remember such great service. I typically get chicken tiki masala when I'm at an Indian restaurant, but this time I decided to mix it up. We had the Chicken Shahenshah. Marinated in spices and yogurt then slowly cooked in a coconut and cashew gravy. Outstanding!! I can't wait for my left overs. For dessert we shared 2. Rice pudding is a favorite and theirs did not disappoint, one of the best I have ever had. We tried their carrot pudding, warm, and it was even better than the rice pudding. It was all so delicious that I forgot to take pictures:) Highly recommend checking this place out!! read more

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 Naan Everything was delicious and full of flavor. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu. read more

Great choice of Indian food, the wait staff need to up their game a little, the service was a bit hit or miss. They repeat your order back to you then when your waiting for your main course, they come and tell you it was taken to another table. And you still end up waiting and sit there picking at your rice and naan bread. Would give it another try and hopefully it would be better next time. read more

Holy YUM!!! My grown daughter asked to eat here for her birthday. So I just met her. What a delightful surprise both and the atmosphere AND the magnificent food! It seems like Spice Room (in Arvada) prides themselves on their vegetarian offerings with quite a bit also classified as vegan. When I order Masala Chai the server made sure that I knew that it has dairy. I'm not a veggie but I very much enjoy Indian veg dishes! And I am a huge fan of southern Indian food which is hard to find in NW Denver. Wowza! The dosa and also the idli are screamingly fantastic! I love the sambar and we also had Chaat- the aloo tikka option. I've never had it before but the spice profile was sensational! Ah, therefore the name =Spice Room! I'll be back and soon! Highly recommend read more

Just had dinner here for the first time it was very good. Our Niru server was so pleasant and nice. I'm the type of guy that likes to try food that most Americans don't. when you walk in and the menu is so extensive it's really hard to pick stuff especially when you have no idea what 90% of it is everybody orders the same stuff the butter chicken and of course my wife had to because she loves it and it was really really good. I had to have something different so I asked my server Niru what I should order and she recommended it they're really really good and I have no idea what they were lol but they were lamb and chicken and crazy I highly recommend you go here read more

This new location is very popular, and rightfully so. On both of my recent visits, the place was packed. The parking lot is large, but it was still pretty much completely filled. Service is solid. The food is outstanding. All of my traditional favorites, are quite good here. They do an exceptional job with their Momo. I see myself returning here quite a bit in the future. read more

Delicious Indian food!!! The menu is voluminous - like the Cheesecake Factory of Indian food almost. It's a little hard to see for those of with older eyes - it's small print on a black background. Definitely needed to use the light on my phone. Vegan items are pretty well marked. I also had the mango cooler cocktail and it was amazing - I love mango so this was perfect for me. Service was helpful with questions & suggestions. The restaurant is pretty large & it's a little loud. Not sure if they have quieter areas to sit. I had the samosas and the Methi Mushroom Masala and, let me tell you, that was so good I had it for breakfast the next 2 days! When can I get a Spice Room in Dallas, TX?! read more

Great service raquis was helpful and friendly. The food was amazing it was my families first time trying this type of food and everyone enjoyed it ! read more

Pros: Wonderful food, great flavors and no disappointment -- i think you maybe can't go wrong. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous! Con: Not going to lie, some of the most terrible service I've had in a long time. The waitress didn't have any pleasantries at all and had no suggestions for food. When I inquired on spice level so I could try to ascertain what kind of spice we're talking about (I guessed we would have serious spice lol) she didn't know what I meant and just said low to high. I don't expect anything amazing, but ugh read more

I generally dont post reviews but this the most horrible mockery of Indian food I have ever eaten. We ordered tomato soup, mushroom manchurian, and Achari paneer 1. In tomato soup we found curry leaves which is generally found in south indian dishes and the taste of tomato soup was overpowered by curry leaves. Funny part, we found full garlic pieces in soup. Can't imagine what else can go wrong with such a simple recipe, 2. Mushroom manchurian also had curry leaves. Now, any indo chinese dish NEVER EVER has curry leaves in it. I can accept fusions but fusions are supposed to taste good. These are horrible 3. Achari paneer - gravy was watery, it seemed like they literally put Achar ( mango pickle) in the curry. That's not how achari dishes are made. Look at any possible youtube video for recipe of these. Overall, just save your money and don't go here read more

10/10 recommend. I don't eat much Indian food but we were visiting some friends and he told us about this place. Let's just say NOW I want Indian all the time. This food was so delicious. We walked in and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. The place was packed! I love how it was an old diner and they kept the charm of the place. After being seated and looking at the menu, they had tons of options. My husband and I ordered an eggplant dish, a lamb dish, naan bread, and another appetizer. I don't remember any of the names of them but I know that they were so fricken delicious that I could cry When I'm back in town I will def be back to visit. Everything was so amazing here read more

Loved it. I went for lunch and tried their Thali (sampler). I am the only one in my family who likes Indian food and the Thali was such a treat. I was able to try a selection of dishes. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. I did a medium spice level and it was nice and spicy. read more

I got an order of samosas to sample their flavor profile and the order was not generous, dainty in fact, I rank the appetizer 6 of 10 stars and a 5 out of 10 for service. Drama- I paid for the order, sat down to wait. When the order was ready, I was bothered by being accused of not paying for the order. My day was bothered by the inefficiency and unnecessary drama. read more

Fantastic South Indian food including amazing dosas and an expansive, creative menu. I am a huge fan of Indian food and have eaten at dozens of restaurants all over the U.S. Spice Room is hands-down the best in the Boulder/Denver area and one of my all-time favorites. Tons of vegetarian, gluten-friendly, and vegan options. Amazingly fast, efficient, and friendly service. Funky location in a former diner (where my husband used to cook back in the day...) now jazzed up with South Asian decor. It can get busy and a little noisy (because it's awesome), so we go at off hours -- they're open all day. We always order way too much food so we have lots of leftovers. Cannot recommend highly enough! Well worth the drive to Arvada. (Just wish they had a buffet so we can try more dishes!) read more

The atmosphere was beyond amazing... and the food is always made from scratch and fresh to order .... and Rakesh ( our server was sweet and had an amazing smile the whole time) they were soooo busy ! !!!

The great reviews brought me in.. and my love for Indian. They also have decent happy hour specials, although the food items were primarily fried so I kept with wine. They give free pappadums to your table upon arrival which is a nice way to wake up your taste buds. I can't handle super spicy foods and my husband can't handle any. They were honest about what can be made with 0 spice level and were highly accommodating which is appreciated. Food wise I went for the edamame salad: 4 out of 5. Too limey but maybe because it lacked the other spices it was meant to have. Hubby loved this tho. Tika Masala with Paneer. 5 out of 5. Creamy and decadent. Lamb tandoori. 3 out of 5. Came out super dry unfortunately but great flavors. I would stick with lamb cooked in sauce or just vegetarian. And samosas. These were great. 5 out of 5. Love the place. Definitely coming back to try mushroom methi, their dosas and desserts! Even the manager came by to check on things so they definitely care to uphold service quality. Well done! read more
