The food, service and ambiance were fabulous. The food was excellent. I will definitely return to Tikka. It's the best Indian food in Denver. There are several locations. read more

Solid Indian food option in between downtown and Cherry Creek. We have eaten here several times and always a good friendly experience. The menu has all the usual Options and some favorites that are unique to the location. We had a spread... Chicken tikka masala was pretty typical in a good way. Gobi Lasoni was excellent. Five stars. Think chili chicken only with cauliflower and not as salty. Veg noodles mild were so good. Samosa chaat was great Chicken korma was very good Garlic cheese naan was good but not the best I've ever had Service here is fast and genuinely nice. The restaurant is large with lots of space and would be great for a big group. They have outdoor seating but it's westerly facing and likely hot in the afternoons. I've never seen anyone sit outside. I would say this is reliable, reasonably priced with great menu options and great service. read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Vegetable noodles - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Gaia Masala & Burger: Where Smash Burgers Meet Curry House Comfort Gaia Masala & Burger has built an intriguing niche by blending Indian comfort food with American fast-casual favorites. With locations stretching from San Francisco to Kansas City and New York City, plus four outposts across Northern Colorado, the concept has clearly found an audience eager for culinary crossovers. Our visit took us to the Denver location at 6th Avenue and Grant Street, tucked into a modest strip mall parking lot shared with a Wendy's--a decidedly unassuming setting for a menu that promises far more adventure than its surroundings suggest. The dining experience begins with a bit of uncertainty. Upon entering, it's not immediately clear whether guests should seat themselves or order first. A small "Order Here" sign pointed us toward the register, but we were escorted to a table by a server who proceeded to take the order there. It wasn't a major issue, but it set the tone for a service experience that felt a little disjointed throughout the meal. Fortunately, the menu quickly shifted our attention. Gaia's offerings are expansive, ranging from traditional Indian dishes to playful fusion creations. To get a broad sense of what they do, we ordered a signature item, something entirely new to us, and a classic Indian entrée. The signature choice was the Beef Tikka Masala Burger, a creation that perfectly captures the restaurant's concept--recently featured in Denver Post's "5 of the most underrated burgers in Denver." Built in the style of a juicy smash burger, it arrived topped with marinated cucumbers and a creamy masala sauce. Guests choose both the burger's temperature and spice level; we opted for well-done and mild. Despite the well-done preparation, the burger remained impressively juicy and flavorful. The masala brought warmth and depth without overwhelming the beef. Next time, I'd probably venture up to the "Mild Plus" spice level for a little extra kick. Our adventurous selection was the Dry Chili Paneer, an appetizer that immediately became one of the highlights of the meal. Despite its name, there was nothing remotely dry about it. Large cubes of paneer were sautéed in a savory soy-based sauce packed with fresh chilies and vibrant flavor. Spice levels range from one to six, and even at level one, a few bites carried a surprising spark of heat. The balance of richness, saltiness, and spice made this dish both addictive and memorable. For our traditional entrée, we chose the Chicken Korma. Served alongside rice, the korma leaned slightly more turmeric-forward than many versions I've encountered, but the flavor was warm, comforting, and well-rounded. Generous pieces of chicken and chunks of cashew throughout the sauce added both substance and texture, making it a satisfying and flavorful classic. The timing of the meal, however, was somewhat unusual. The burger arrived nearly five minutes before either the appetizer or the korma, which disrupted the flow of sharing dishes at the table, as well as the delay of utensils. Seeing a soda fountain in the dining room, we ordered fountain drinks, but were a little confused it was not self-serve nor were free refills offered. Another eyesore was the heap of dirty dishes that were bussed from the empty tables to the area right next to the soda fountain, instead of hidden and out of sight. Service remained pleasant but somewhat inattentive, and we ultimately had to flag down our server to request the check. While the dine-in experience left room for improvement, the food itself made a strong impression. Gaia Masala & Burger succeeds where it matters most: delivering bold flavors and creative combinations that feel more thoughtful than gimmicky. The menu still offers plenty of territory worth exploring, including fusion items like Mediterranean pizzas and calzones that further showcase the restaurant's willingness to experiment. For us, Gaia feels less like a destination dining experience and more like a future delivery favorite. With availability across all major delivery platforms and a menu packed with craveable options, it's easy to imagine these dishes becoming regular additions to a takeout rotation. The service may not inspire a special trip back to dine in, but the food is compelling enough that we'll certainly be ordering again. read more

I met up with some friends to catch up over Indian food. It was cold and snowy, but we sat on the covered, heated patio. Felt nice, actually. I ordered Lamb Korma (or Rogan Josh) - can't remember which one of my favorite dishes I choose. It was pretty good. Not standout but would come back again if someone suggested. The highlight was obviously the company I was with. read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Lamb Korma (or Rogan Josh) - I can't remember! - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ordered this place on uber eats and let me tell it was solid. The jalapeño roti was excellent and I thought the masala cheesesteak was also great. The bhindi masala was also nice, flavorful and interesting stir fry with okras. Next time I will definitely add lamb. Overall prices are reasonable and I liked the flavorful profile. Next time I will have the full experience when I dine in. read more

Still amazing and our go-to Indian food restaurant in Denver. We get them pretty regularly - typically always get a Saag, then change it up with other things (can't go wrong with a Samosa - Vege is my favorite), and others such as Jalfrezi, Madrass, and now a new favorite (and the staff made a point when I picked it up, it was good too!) is the Shahenshah. If you're ordering pickup, try to use their website to avoid fees with Grubhub, DoorDash, etc - they notice and appreciate that. read more

Food was not impressive, the place is very old, not very clean and so the ambiance rates at a minimum. Do not recommend. read more

Something has changed within the last few months, and I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think I'll be ordering from here anymore. I'm genuinely sad. This was my favorite place to eat. We used to get takeout from here two or three times a month, but the last several times have been just terrible. We usually get saag paneer. What used to be a creamy, spicy, flavorful, and delicious meal has been replaced with something bland, watered down, and sometimes disgusting. Our last order tasted like burnt plastic. It was nearly inedible, if not for the cheese naan. We used to get so excited to order Tikka and we'd be sitting there eating it talking about how amazing it was with big smiles. The first time something was off we thought it was a fluke, so we tried again a few times. We tried until the excitement was dead. I am so, so sad to say we will not be back. read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Chicken korma, saag paneer, cheese naan - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Tikka and Grill (all 3 locations) has become our family's favorite go-to restaurant. With several vegans and vegetarians in the family, we always find lots of options. Almost everything can be made vegan if you ask, and they easily adjust the level of spice to every member of the family. We love the saag tofu and the masalas and the curries and the Mushroom Manchurian and the ... oh no, now I am hungry again! Wonderful, wonderful menu and excellent service. Try it! read more

The garlic cheese naan from here is a 5/5. Chicken tikka masala sauce also a 5/5, the actual chicken though 3/5 toughness. I previsoukt visited their location on South Broadway and was enamored by how vibrant and flavorful their curries are. I have only ordered takeout from this location, they have coupons on their website! They were super timely and kind when I picked up my order. The tikka masala is so thick and rich, really my only complaint was the chewiness of the chicken. Will be coming back to try these dishes in person. read more

This place is amazing. Order samosas, saag paneer and chicken korma. The garlic naan is also excellent and big pieces. Don't forget the chai - and the staff is excellent!!! read more

So I already left a review for delivery but this place was so good I went back for lunch and dinner The servings are very generous and I can't stop eating the Tikka Masala And the service was great!!! read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Tikka Masala so good.... And nan - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great Indian food. Parents said it was the best they've ever had. Lamb masala and korma were great. Do not confuse with restaurant on South Broadway which is not nearly as good. read more

I've been to the other South Broadway location and this has the same menu. I'd call the menu huge! So many options and so many meat/non-meat options for the dishes. I've honestly never seen so many choice at an Indian restaurant before! It will surely please everyone with such variety. Just give yourself time for perusing so much. The drink prices are excellent here. I tried a Chai Martini, it was sweet and tasty if that's your thing. I am glad they opened a spot on 6th St, so much closer to me and right by The Esquire. So, if you're checking out a movie there, this is the perfect before or after spot! My last meal I swapped out the beloved paneer with tofu in my palak/saag just because I already had so much cheese that day and I was so surprised how great it was! The tofu really took on a similar taste and texture of the paneer I typically get! Also, if you like samosas but want to try an amped up version, try the samosa chat! Many places do offer this, so I was excited to see it and have it again. See my pic of it! The food is great here and it will be a place I go to often that is for sure. read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Samosa chat -- it's a cut up samosa with Chana (chickpeas) and sauces on top. A deluxe samosa really! - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I had enjoyed the original Tikka and Grill location, but after some extensive delivery experimentation, I can now say the same of the new location too. When I first tried this location, I think my excitement to dabble overtook me a bit. I got the goan fish curry, the bhindi masala, and the baigan bharta. All of which were good (the eggplant a little less impressive than the prior version I had), but perhaps just too varied a combination of items. After some time, I gave into a craving last week and ordered a few curries and samosas one evening and was blown away. Then this week, I did it all over again. (I may have eaten my weight in curries this month. ) If I were to summarize my experiences and adoration, it would go something like this: unparalleled selection of vegetarian and vegan adaptable options (you want vindaloo, korma, masala, saag, all of it can be done veg, multiple ways); generous portions at fair pricing (My gosh look at that pakora appetizer! Biryani for days!); tender proteins when you do want meat; and chutneys to boot (some places won't even spot you some tamarind with samosas, boo!). Delivery has always been nice and quick too, and well packaged. The new location is certainly convenient. I still need to check it out in person, but I have to say regardless it's been making my evenings at home. read more

My partner and I decided last minute to eat here because we drive by it and always say we should try it one day. Today on 10/25/25 we finally decided to give it a shot. We walked in, and the restaurant was completely empty except for one table. This did throw me off because we usually see people eating through the windows when driving by. But regardless I wasn't expecting that.. We walk in and a man walks over to "greet" us while looking at us with a facial expression of annoyance & disgust.. so instantly I was off put by that.. mind you, he never said one word to us!! So I said we'll just take a booth.. and he said nothing. Just walked to a table and put menus. He comes back, fills up our water cups and still says nothing even after my partner said thank you she still has said nothing to us at this point. The vibe was just so off and our initial interaction with him was extremely offputting and while sitting there we were kind of looking at each other thinking should we go somewhere else and I was like no like maybe we should just stay and see what happens. But it just wasn't looking promising so we ended up walking out of there and we NEVER do that. I'm not saying anything bad about the food. We never tried the food. This is our only experience there, but we were about to spend our good hard earned money there and we always tip well. My partner and I are both in the service industry and so this was very strange to us. We don't ask for over the top expectations, but simple Kindness and decent service would be appreciated. Never going back. read more

An amazing Indian and Nepali conventional cuisine! I've been to all 3 Tikka and Grills and thoroughly enjoyed each location. The pictures I have are from the 6th Ave location, all very clean and welcoming. The customer service is very nice and accommodating, they start you with a soup that I can't have but I'm told it's delightful. My favorite dish is the Lamb Korma, you really can't go wrong - I could eat it every day! 1000/10 recommend. And on certain apps they have BOGO deals for pick up or delivery! Take advantage of it! And don't forget to order the ONION BHAJI for starters read more

Go!!! Ignore the very temporary sign on the outside! Really good Indian/Nepalese cuisine. I like that they will spice it up so you can taste it....medium was good not crazy hot. Most customers were getting it low...so there you go. Portions are huge....this is such a huge plus I cannot scream it loud enough. The Lamb vindaloo was loaded with tender meat. The Tandoori chicken had so much chicken it lasted three days....and the quality was fantastic. Great veggie dishes. Great Naan. Pro Tip: Parking is a little tough so if you are picking up use the Safeway parking lot next door. read more

I ordered to go. The Naan was burnt. We were very sad. I am wrapping my head around why the Biryani and Saag cost just around the same but we received a very small saag and an extra large Biryani, does spinach cost that much? Lol. Although the taste of the Biryani was good, I do not think I could order from here again read more

Tikka & Grill 6Th Ave - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

One of my favorite Indian food spots in Denver, always hits the spot. I love that they have the option to make ALOT of their dishes vegan. Really helps make it a spot you can go to with everyone. Highly recommend! read more

The best Indian food in Denver. I love the saag paneer and butter chicken medium. A side of garlic naan is essential.

There a two Indian restaurants of Denver that everyone goes HAM for, ifykyk. Tikka and Grill is one of those, and they really did live up to my expectations. This is a second location that they just opened up, and it's a great space with a bar and plenty of seating. Before I get into the food I have to say that the service was amazing! My party of three stayed for an hour chit chatting after we paid our bill, and our server welcomed us to stay as long as we'd like since they weren't busy, and even filled up our waters while we sat (catching up with an old friend, don't judge!) Started out with three types of naan (garlic, date, and jalapeño cheddar). I loved their variety of options, they had about six types to choose from! I will say that the only reason I'm holding back on five stars is because the naan was a little stiff for me, we ordered so much (went home with it don't worry) but it was a bit hard to scoop our meals with. We also ordered samosas as an appetizer and those were the bomb dot com. The dough was like nothing I'd had before, pillowy yet crispy? Incredible. For curries we ordered the sweet potato curry, jalfrezi, and chicken madras. All of them were perfect in our opinions, and we couldn't have asked for more. The sweet potato was a crowd favorite, and so unexpected! With our curries came turmeric rice - fluffy and kept great with leftovers! Last thing on our list was the aloo gobi -- I can't even describe the spices but they were perfect. I've been on a cauliflower kick lately, and there's just took the top of my list. It's no question why Tikka and Grill is a favorite of so many! Incredible service, food, and location! read more

Delicious and amazing food service! Thank you Tikka & Grill team! I ordered the chicken tikka masala & it was the best thing ever!

The food was amazing, and the sauces were full of flavor! Service was super fast, and the staff were all very friendly. It's a bit pricier than what I usually pay for Indian cuisine, but the quality definitely made it worthwhile. read more

It was delicious, and the menu is extremely large and varied. Parking is primarily on the street but it's in a relatively quiet neighborhood. The ambience was fine. I was there for a lateish dinner with several other people, somthe larger tables worked out well for us. read more

Overall very good food!!! Good portions, fresh, and very flavorful. The place is very big, when we first got in we thought it was empty but theres another side by the street with higher booths and it was completely full. It was a little confusing in terms of who was our server because multiple people came around to double check if we were doing okay. This was good but ended up in some confusion later on. We let the first guy that came around know we had a nut allergy and then pointed out some of the items with nuts. We weren't ready to order yet so he left and another server came by later. When the other server took our order he also asked what spice level we wanted. Our food came pretty quickly and everything was super yummy. The pani puri is diy style which was very fun and customizable. However, shortly, we had an allergic reaction to the shahi paneer. The menu does not specify it containing any sort of nuts, but the first server said it has cashews. When he found out of the allergic reaction, he offered to make it without the cashews which was very nice but we had to leave. When I was paying my bill, I asked again with the server that actually took our order, if the shahi paneer had any nuts in it and he said it did not. This made it a little confusing and I'm guessing he didn't fully understand what I was asking. However, everyone was very nice and helpful getting us out quick since we had to leave 5 minutes into the entree. I still think the taste of the food was very good I would just be careful if you have any allergies and double check with multiple people. read more

The 6th ave restaurant is totally different experience than the Broadway restaurant. Highly recommend Broadway but stay away from 6th ave. They totally messed up our order and did not bring us what we ordered. I ordered boneless tandoori chicken - I don't know what they served me but it was not the same as Broadway. Tried to explain that to server and they essentially sent me the same dish on a cast iron platter. They had broccoli and carrots, cabbage on the platter- none of which I was expecting the dish is typical served with cooked tomatoes there were no tomatoes in my dish and they gave me a small saucer of the butter sauce (they actually forgot that til I asked) my friend ordered a hamburger and they brought him a cheeseburger when he told them he is lactose intolerant they told him it was vegan cheese, don't worry !!! read more

Forgot to take pictures but we got the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas. All three were very good. The tikka masala had very good flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked. You also get complementary rice pudding which is very yummy! Service was fast and the servers checked up regularly. It's a large place so it doesn't get too loud. We will be back! read more

Food: We love this place. We have been experimenting with Indian restaurants and this place has by far the most flavor. We love their tiki masala, paneer. I will say that we get their "hot" for spice level and it's really not that spicy which is a bit disappointing for Indian food but we still enjoy it! Service: We had order from DoorDash mostly, but just went in this weekend and they were very attentive. And the food came out quick. Really good prices overall too for their alcohol and food. Ambiance: The vibe is okay. The bar actually looked really nice since it's so big but the booths we were in were SUPER narrow and your knees would touch the table legs. I'd recommend they spread them out more. I'm excited this place opened this new location and I wish them all the luck! read more

The same company as Spice Room and India Express- all the same. It's good quality food but we order medium and it is always so SPICY and not GOOD spicy- not flavorful, just hot. My husband is Indian and we keep wishing it would be MILD when we order mild; butter chicken shouldn't be hot! read more

Ramen is always my husbands go to on a cold winter night but my go to is Indian and we definitely needed something warm and comforting yesterday during our polar vortex! My husband and I ordered carry out of several of our favs: Chicken Saag, Chicken tikka masala, cheese naan, and daal soup. I loved the deep red color of the tikka masala even though we only ordered medium spice. The standout was probably the daal soup... deep rich flavors that made you feel like it had been cooking for hours! Sadly, just like anywhere else, naan just doesn't travel well. It was fine but I definitely would like to try it while dining in to really compare to our fav Indian spot that is only a short drive away! read more

I've had some of the best meals of my life here. Zero exaggeration. The Broadway location is close to my kung fu school. This location is walking distance from my apartment, and as soon as it opened up, I was right there. I've seen some people comment that the staff are rude, and I disagree. They are a little more formal than people in this part of the world are used to, but they are (in my opinion) lovely people and you should get to know them. Even if they were jerks, I'd not care. The food is that damned good. Really. They could slap it on the table and call me a dumb SOB and I still wouldn't care. Be quiet and eat. read more

It's sad they decided to rest on their laurels they first received from us and forget quality of food. This WAS the new place to go, 6th ave and S. Broadway. We started when they first opened, sent several people there, complimented everyone...they expanded due to everything being AWESOME and the word was out...6th ave opened, then Englewood....growing. Unfortunately we have been to S Broadway twice and 6th ave twice in the last 3 months.....every meal was bad, how in the world do you do that? The shrimps, no matter Tandoor or otherwise, soggy, sloppy mushy. The chicken dishes were sooo dry I was in shock; overcooked until the chicken was dry, hard, inedible. We're sad because this WAS better than Denvers standby, Little India. Does anyone know if you can get this type food in Denver thats GOOD/GREAT?? read more

We loved this place. We had the Lamb Korma and Chicken Mahkani. Both excellent choices. Portion sizes were very large so the price is worth it. Service was great and our food came out within 10 minutes. This place has convenient and free parking since it's just outside of a Safeway. read more
