The restroom is gender-inclusive. There are a few steps I could not avoid, awkward with my rollator. We enjoyed our meals very much, and were pleased to experience Vital Root. Now if there were only a store on the south side of metro Denver so we could visit more often.

This is maybe the most convoluted review I've ever written:…read moreWe were happy to get a spot here on OpenTable for Mother's Day. Fortunately, it is close to our home and the reviews looked great. When we arrived, we redirected from the main dining room to another space the restaurant owns 2 doors down. I wonder if we may have had a more attentive experience had we been in the original? The first disappointment was that our meal took 40 minutes to arrive from the time that we sat down. Our waiter consistently forgot that my husband had ordered a Diet Coke or to refill the drink when he had offered. The tables around us seemingly were served earlier, even though we all placed our orders around the same time. I ordered the Thai Pork Belly Benedict, which was absolutely delectable and definitely something write home about! And the country potatoes side was perfectly seasoned and crispy. I would absolutely go back for this, just maybe on a weekday brunch due to the wait. I thought it was extremely unique how the children's menu was plated in a muffin tin, with 6 different food choices for just $12. Great deal! My husband had a Belgian waffle topped with fruit, which was really unremarkable. Reminiscent of something that you might self-make at a hotel breakfast. Unfortunately, his waffle was cold, and he requested that they remake, which our server made sure was done in a timely manner. All in all, our meal was very reasonably priced at around $43. I just wish it hadn't been such a long wait, both to receive the initial order and for drink refills.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Spice Room Arvada, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, but the real stars of the night was our incredible waitress. Managing a group of lively birthday guests is no easy task, yet they handled everything with patience, professionalism. Not only was the service top-notch, but the food was also absolutely delicious. Every dish was packed with bold flavors, and the spice levels were just right. The butter chicken and tandoori chicken were crowd favorites, and the naan was perfectly warm and fluffy. Despite our group being a bit extra at times, the waitress made sure we were well taken care of with constant refills, great recommendations, and genuine smiles. A huge thank you to our lovely waitress for making my birthday so special! I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing Indian food! read more

I personally can't stand white-washed food and got my fair share of it living in FL with most cuisines outside of Latin American, so I can sniff it a mile away. I was really hoping it wasn't one of those "thai" establishments serving overly sweetened watered down dishes. I ordered a Singha which came in a frozen glass. One point there. I then ordered summer rolls. Nicely packed and fresh tasting with peanut sauce on the side. My Tom Kha was heavenly. Lemongrass and kafir tangy flavors, subtly creamy with plump shrimp. The white rice had a lovely jasmine fragrance and perfectly textured. Took 2 stir fry meals to go. My hubby who doesn't love Thai food raved about his meal. I'm yet to try mine. All in all great presentation, quality and freshness. Service also solid. The place itself can use some small enhancements to improve the ambience but I'm definitely coming back for some good Tha in the future!

They didn't seem to know how to balance different things people were asking for. We had to ask for the naan we ordered when it never came out. A table across from us had to ask for boxes twice before getting them. Another table had to yell out to get their attention for more to drink. It was hard to get his attention for something. Generally the service was a little frustrating, other people in the restaurant seemed to think so too. I got the Boti Kabab and it's the more expensive item on the menu. The vegetables were lightly sautéed onions and bell peppers with very little flavor. The lamb was extremely chewy and was clearly only cooked only in a tomato paste and red chili flake mixture, it didn't even taste like it was marinated in the sauce it said it's marinated in. There was a cold yogurt garlic dipping sauce on the side that I assume was the marinade that was just kinda okay, but I asked for hot and it was barely mild. It was kinda upsetting for the lamb to be as chewy as it was with barely any flavor outside the cold dipping sauce. I'm also 99% sure it was supposed to come with rice and I never got rice, though I could be wrong. Other meals probably would have been better, the photos look good and the other person with me got tikka, and it tastes pretty good. It was a little upsetting that the more expensive meal was crazy low quality compared to chicken tikka. The naan was also okay but it was kind of thin and cracker-like.
