    Garlic Naan
    Lyric L.

    I came to Tiffins because other reviews have noted it's one of the few places in Boulder that is genuinely good and consistent. I was not disappointed! I got an order of garlic naan, alongside chicken masala (I asked for the hottest spice level). Both were very flavorful and definitely satisfied my need for some decent Indian food. While appearing somewhat pricey upon checking out, the portions are quite acceptable for the price. In fact, I only ate one naan (3 leftover) and half of my meal.. so now I have dinner for tomorrow!! The employees who helped me order were very kind and even brought my food over to my table (which I did not expect for a quick service restaurant). Restaurant is decently clean, with the only exception to this being stacked boxes in customer view due to what I can guess is a lack of storage space. In my opinion.. who cares? Food and service were both good! Is this place something what blew me away? No. But I am very happy with my visit. One other fun note: they for some reason had Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please" on repeat the entire time I was there, which was interesting. I mean.. good song! But I was there for about 30 minutes. LOL

    Nice little cafe offering North Indian and South Indian food varieties. We ordered chicken curry with rice and veg biryani. The biryani portion was huge but it was quite spicy even though we asked to make it mild. The staff is very rude so don't expect much in terms of customer service.

    I stopped by Tiffins before seeing a show at Fiske with a friend. We needed something somewhat fast, so she suggested Tiffins. It's kind of like a fast casual type of Indian restaurant. The portions were huge, which I appreciated since it is actually quite expensive. I think my friend and I could've shared a meal rather than getting two of the same thing. I also tried the masala dosa and it was good! The garlic naan wasn't my favorite since it was crispier than I prefer, but not a showstopper. I'd go back. The service was friendly too.

    Came around opening and it took nearly 30 minutes to get our food after ordering. The food tastes slightly different than other Indian restaurants, but I loved it. If you have time on your hands I would definitely recommend.

    Goat curry

    If we don't include the Nepalese restaurants serving Indian food, there aren't many Indian restaurants in Boulder proper. That said, this place is a blessing that serves good quality, flavorful, legit Indian food! The mango lassi uses too much mango purée but let's just not dwell on that. I usually go there when I have snack/street food cravings but I got the opportunity to try their goat curry. Excellenct food, as always not disappointed. Be mindful of what you order, the cost adds up pretty quickly! That is the only downside, considering it's a pretty humble sit down restaurant (I.e you don't go there for the ambiance) it costs quite a bit. But it's Boulder!! And everything is expensive. Another thing to be mindful of is when you go. It gets really busy especially with the take out orders, which is a positive sign. I ordered the below: Goat curry, Garlic Naan, Chai, samosa chat (5/5) Mango lassi (2/5) ... too much purée try to pick the lighter colored ones from fridge Kheer/rice pudding (3/5) fresh, but nothing exceptional flavor wise Samosa chat can be spicy and I always order it with extra raita Enjoy a great local Indian restaurant in Boulder :)!!

    Stopped by and had a chicken saag and a chai latte. Both were the best we had ever had!! The people were so nice, and the food came pretty quickly. It's such a cozy, simple place where you can come to get a quick snack and hang out. I highly recommend this place for catering, or to come with friends. And finally, their menu, they have soooo many options to be sure everyone gets something to their taste.

    Kheer (rice pudding) with chai for dessert

    Great food, excellent flavors, polite and pleasant servers, great atmosphere. Stopped here for dinner in Boulder, and I really enjoyed my meal!

    Decided to try this spot out after hearing good things about the masala dishes from my little brother. Despite some hesitation to try indian food again since i haven't in a long time, i decided to try it and keep an open mind without thinking about prior poor experiences. Little brother and i wanted to binge horror films, so we ordered delivery from this spot. we ordered two of the chicken masala dishes with their homemade tomato based curry and basmati rice. i also added on the naan and garlic naan sides after my little brother recommended we get it. the chicken masala was fairly good with a creamy tomato base, but it did lack some depth in flavor compared to other places i've tried with a tomato based curry. the spices were super subtle, which i didn't care for and overall the dish lacked depth to have me craving for more with each bite. the chicken pieces were kind of dry, but they were alright because they weren't over-cooked. the naan and garlic naan came cold and they were so over-toasted that i couldn't taste much of it outside its charred and smokey essence. both naan were disappointing and i would never get it again to be honest. the texture was like burnt flour tortillas with too much butter. overall, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't terrible either. decent indian style food & service seemed timely for delivery. i doubt i'd crave this place, but it was worth having on a simple night to stay in for movies.

    Yummy food but slow service. If you plan to order food to go or to stay be prepared for a long walk!

    Excellent food. Solid ambiance. They have recently changed how people go about getting food from…read morethem, so the line area is strangely blocked off. But I'd go back any time. Love their teas and they variety of healthy options. A Flower Child is opening in my area of the KC metro - my family and I are SO excited to have one in the neighborhood!

    The friend I had lunch with today is vegan, and she suggested this place. It's loud and rather…read morestark, but inside is air-conditioned, which was needed in this 100-degree day. However, there were people sitting on their outside patio. Hardy folks, I guess! My friend was nursing a sore tummy, so she just had some grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. She loves everything she's had here. It was my first time. I ordered the chicken bowl with yakisoba noodles. It was lukewarm, but that's fine for me. I think they must have microwaved it because it was steamier as you ate down the bowl. The veggies were crisp, the noodles perfect, the chicken was tender. It was spiced at what I'd call a medium level, and quite yummy. My friend then ordered their vegan chocolate pudding, which we shared. Yummy and light. My one big criticism is that they charge $4 for iced tea. I questioned it and the cashier was kind of snippy about it, but the customer behind me approached after I dispensed my tea and said she agreed it's too expensive. The meal was appropriately priced and there is plenty of food, but the drinks? C'mon. It's worth maybe $2.50. They really should reevaluate that. It's the main reason that I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5. The other people who work there were nice and helpful. I didn't grab a fork but the server who brought my bowl cheerfully went and got me a fork and napkin. Very nice. It's obviously popular, it filled up as we sat, with quite a variety of people, from babies to seniors. I might go back, but perhaps next time I'll just get water. I hope they don't charge for that!
