It's been awhile since I gave Tiffin's a shout out!! Dang, their food is so good!! Went for lunch today with my sister. We also had chai and a lassi. Everything was great - Kind staff, tables were clean (they've made some nice updates in the dining area), food is consistently delish. read more

Tiffins India Café Boulder - Masala Dosa - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

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 read more

My partner and I are literally addicted to Tiffins India Cafe. The food never disappoints! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good Indian food in Boulder. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is nice: The aroma of the food is amazing, they have a beautiful mural, play nice music, and they have lots of cozy booths to choose from. The service is always super quick and the employees are always very nice. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tiffins India Café Boulder - Masala Dosa - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

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 :)!! read more

I'm going to review the food only we didn't need service, it's fast food. Delicious Indian food. Great fresh naan. I had the saag paneers. Food take a little bit longer to cook but totally worth it. Bon Appetite read more

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. read more

good dosa in boulder. did not expect it. Also the idlies are very soft and the podi is very good. the kebab is pretty good too. read more

Tiffin's Indian food is an awesome place to get Indian food. I have had several of their dishes and their curries are all solid. What I like most about Tiffins is the fact that they make really great Dosa. Dosa is a very thin Rice and Lentil crepe which is then filled with potatoes and herbs and or cheese. Dosa is not made by many Indian restaurants in the Boulder area so this is one of the few places we can pick up Dosa. My wife is gluten free so she love them and the kids love them too as they get to tear of pieces of the Dosa and dunk them in sauces. (kids love this ! ) If you want to grab some excellent Indian food especially Dosa this is a good choice! read more

I tried this place on a whim and felt sick after eating there. Food was ok, not something I would seek out again. Ambience was austere. The counter ladies were nice but service was sloooooow. I guess people like it but I wont go back and risk getting sick again. Better options available in Boulder. read more

Somebody I met strongly recommended Tiffins as being very authentic. I love dosas, and not many restaurants here offer dosas. All curries were good, and rice was cooked appropriately. Bad rice can completely ruin the experience. One issue we had was that the containers that had dal soup (I think) could not be opened at all - Boyle-Charle's law? Finally I could open one, and had it with dosas and samosas. I see another Tiffins in Longmont now. Related? read more

Came in for some evening snacks. The word tiffin is predominantly used in south India and South Indian staple is filter coffee. This restaurant does not serve any type of coffee and the tea is premade and stored in a flask. One star off for that. We got mango lassi, chai and samosa chaat. Mango lassi was good, chai was too sugary! Samosa chat was very good, big quantity and spicy! The chole was hot and quite spicy and we loved it! read more

Food was not tasty, bland lacking Indian spices/touch. Service was slow and non-accommodating. read more

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. read more

Tiffins India Café Boulder - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

The restaurant is located in a strip mall, therefore has plenty of parking spots. The restaurant inside is not fancy but tables are nicely spaced out. The food was excellent. The masala dosa is the best, the flavor and the texture of the potato stuffing was perfect. The dosa wrap was light and crispy. I recommend to share the dosa dish with someone because the portion is very big. We also had goat curry, tandoori chicken and the mixed biryani. All were delicious. The mango lassi was refreshing. The butter naan was a little burnt and dry. Service was fast and the price was reasonable. If you like Indian food but don't like it too hot this is the place for you. I find the food here very flavorful but not overly spicy. read more

At their admission preparation order is: online, at tables, then walk in to take out --sadly that's not posted anywhere My "waiting times may be as much as 25 minutes" order took just over 50 minutes to appear. worst of all I ordered two veggie meals and just bit into a piece of MEAT I would have let all of this go until that happened read more

This place was my local haunt all through college. Amazing dal tarka, tikka masala, naan, and other curries. Good service is quick, lunch deals are great, and food is amazing. Highly recommend you go if you are in the area! read more

Talk about a room with zero ambiance and a host with the charm of a Bored Bobcat, Tiffins. Then after quite a lengthy wait the entrees arrived. I'm a person who loves vindaloo and Yes, Hot! This was fiery and perhaps the best vindaloo I've ever had. The chicken masala (medium) was fabulous and the garlic naan the best! They seem to be doing a robust take out delivery. I get it. So maybe order take out?! Great Indian food! read more

Walked in and walked out ..their new locale in longmont is a 180 of this board of health risk . Tables were unclear.i quickly observed the tali dish others had on their tables and it did not look appetizing ..the door didn't even come close to hitting me on the way out to sherpas adventure . read more

The best in town! I've been eating here for the past ten years and their dishes are always so flavorful. The staff are friendly and super sweet. The dining room has comfortable booths to sit at; if you dine in definitely get the lunch plate. The curry and korma with garlic naan are our favorites. Their chai is the perfect balance of spices and a touch of sweetness. This place feels like home. read more

I gave these guys a bad review because my food wasn't very good and I really got sick later and then I noticed how dirty the place was, you couldn't even see out the door because of all the grease on it and then I realized that my review disappeared all of a sudden so here I am trying it again. read more

Came in last week for some korma. It was amazing. Ordered the chicken korma extra hot and garlic naan. I think it was the best Indian food I've ever had. The korma was thick and creamy with a lot of flavor. The naan was moist and emanating delicious garlicy fumes. Just really good. Service was great and fast. Place was very clean. Great experience and highly recommend. read more

We have always enjoyed the food here in the past. And I'm sure it's still good. We were able to order when they were closed last week for some reason and got an email confirmation of our order but when we went to pick it up they were closed. I emailed Tiffins immediately about what happened and called and talked to someone who said I would be refunded for the charge and a dinner we never got. I am still waiting for the refund or an explanation of why it has not yet happened. read more

Tried this place for the first time and coconut chutney was too much salty and vada was dense instead of crispy. Masala Dosa was better compared to idli and vada. read more

Giving 3 stars for North Indian.Not good experience, we came to eat South Indian and we were told they can make only 2 dosa as they don't have batter. So we ordered idli sambhar, coconut chutney was spoiled and sambhar was not even near to sambhar. Ended ordering North Indian saag panner, and makhani with garlic naan and butter roti, which was good. Moral come here if you want quick northindian meal. No no place for South Indian food. It's self service place with average ambiance. read more

Hmmm, this time around is a mixed feeling review... First and foremost, I call them in advance saying that I want to bring like 10 guests or so. I know its a tiny establishment that can at least accommodate more than 15 people at one seating. Anyways, way before Sunday August 17th 2014, I call them again saying I am coming that afternoon. When I arrived, none of the seating are set up. Hence I inform Tiffins Staff, that I have 7 guests to arrive for our 12 NOON Lunch. This event was on Sunday August 17th 2014. The way they arrange the tables though I feel a little cramped for my friends was in a "Diagonal Manner" aka AWKWARD!... Hmm... *BIG SIGH* The service was OK, though it does takes awhile for the food to come out. YES, you order at the Counter and the staffs will send your order to where you are seating. By the time everyone at our Party arrives, many more other Patrons came in and out either for Lunch Dining or TO GO Order. Okies, now with the food.. Over all, from my friends Feedbacks. Some like it, some don't. Particularly for those who order the Lunch Deal For the Day, its more underwhelming.. aka Lunch Specials of the Day. Once again, I order the Masala Dosa ($8.95) with tax is ($9.71). Had my lunch there and TO GO Order aka Lamb Biryani ($12.95) with tax ($14.05) for Hubs. Ask for Extra Spicy for both dishes. YES, they deliver in terms of Spice level.. but I am indeed torn coz, to recommend this establishment to my friends. To some who live all the way in Parker, Colorado, was a little underwhelmed... Even I see unfinished food of what my friends ordered especially for the "Set Menu". Could they have ordered the wrong things that afternoon. I wonder and ponder.. *DOUBLE BIG SIGH* Maybe it was an OFF Day for Tiffins that Sunday afternoon. Above anything else, I will support Local Business of Mom and Pop establishment and since this establishment offer Dosa, and even Biryani OR Vindaloo, I don't mind returning. As for the TO GO order it comes with "watered" down Raita... doable. Hence in conclusion, personally I WOULD Order OFF from their Menu. Not much on the Thali Menu or "set menu" since I prefer variety. As for the Cost of the Food, its Doable though definitely there can be improvement in terms of the dishes they offer. Please have more Variety and "expand" the Dosa Menu that would intrigued other Patrons appetite to explore on what Tiffins has to offer. Above anything else, I wish them ALL The Success in their Business and Future Undertakings and many more years to come especially in Boulder, Colorado! @165/2014 read more

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

Excellent Indian restaurant with many vegan and vegetarian options. The prices are very reasonable as well. Since I love love curry, I had the vegan curry lunch that had 2 different types of curries and rice, for just $10. Food service was very quick. It's located in a strip mall, nothing fancy but they have several tables and it was clean. You order at the cash register and they bring the food to your Worth a visit. read more

This cafe is interesting, its setup reminds me of Indian buffets yet cleaner; the counter with scoopable food choices is very similar to that of Biju's, but the food is more traditional than the street-style offerings at Biju's. However, compared to the more ubiquitous Little India, Tiffins offers more specialties such as the Dosa, which I've never had in my life and was so impressed by it that I got a to-go order to take home after dining for a full meal here. I also remember enjoying the Masala! read more
