17 Best Indian Restaurants near Golden

“I ordered the same thing I order at every Indian restaurant: lamb saag with naan. And this restaurant by far exceeded my expectations for food and service. Their cocktails are excellent with complex flavors and the mango chutney is a mind blowing addition to any dish.“

“I am new to Himalayan food. The food here was delicious! The staff was so helpful in explaining the food and the traditions. I can’t wait to go back!“

“The food is good, the staff are very friendly, I do however think the portions are small for the prices that are charging. The spice level is definitely mild, I like very spicy food and the hot is more like a mild-medium, so keep that in mind if you like your vindaloo nice and hot.“

“The owner of the restaurant just called me a working class driver (in a tone that sounded like he was talking to his slave from a throne) for asking him about a wait time on a delivery order for uber. I don't think my son or I will be eating here for a 7th time, we will take our hard earned lower class money to Yak & Yetti for some better made food and company. People like him that are dismissive of another persons right to service based on financial class will come back as a snake...“

“We got takeout here last night and I am glad we did. The food was outstanding!! I am so so so glad this opened in our neighborhood.

Definitely worth a shot! Our favorites were the momos, the samosas, and the vindaloo. Very good and definitely recommend.“

“Really nice, clean, and re-modeled place. The food is fresh and wonderful and reasonably priced. If you are looking for an Indian Food Buffet, all you can eat, this place is outstanding! Actually Indian Buffet's are hard to find now. When ever I am in Denver this is my go-to spot for their wide selection Buffet. I recently enjoyed the spicy Shrimp and several Vegetable dishes. The Chicken dishes were varied and delicious. I noticed they have $5 Draft Beer on tap. Nothing beats a cold beer and spicy Indian food. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely the best Indian food I have ever had in my life!! Sooo yummy - you have to try it!“

“This really is the BEST indian food in the Denver area!!!! My boyfriend and I fell in love with it and the employees are amazing!🧡“

“We ordered from here last night. Full disclosure before I begin: we're Indian, we cook A LOT of Indian food, therefore we're really picky about our Indian food. The flavor for both dishes was good (saag paneer and lamb masala) but I was disappointed with how little meat and paneer we got in our dishes. Our food took an hour to be ready when they said 30 minutes. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up our order, there were six people in front of me grumbling that it was taking a really long time. Whoever packed our food used a cracked lid on one of the curry containers, which lead to a mess all over the paper bag not to mention wasted food (that we spent $15 on). My kids liked the paneer and safron rice; they were happy it wasn't too spicy. We didn't dine in obviously but the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was beautiful. I'll probably give them one more chance given they're close by and they're NOT Little India.“

“Best service and Best food“

“Had the fried fish appetizer that had great spice with a perfect green chutney (cilantro mint?) to take the edge off.

Also had the lamb vindaloo (spicy as advertised - had a kick but was not overpowering) and the butter chicken was on point. Alongside some garlic naan and some cheese naan - this was comfort food at its best! Had enough to take home some leftovers, too.

This is the same couple (Meena and her husband) who ran Mini India's restaurant in Westminster before it moved - and it was well worth it to track them down again.

They had one of the larger menus I've seen then, but serve a slightly smaller one here (their chicken tikka masala is fantastic, and though I didn't get that this visit, it is always a favorite to get people to try - particularly if they are new to Indian food).

Don't let the small space or limited tables scare you off from trying this gem (take it to go if you have a picky date that stands far too much on ambiance). For those who let the quality of the food impress more than the decor, you'll gain serious points for knowing about this hole-in-the-wall place where the food speaks for itself - before everyone else does.“

“I had such a great experience here. I have been to Nepal for trekking and had such an amazing time there. I loved the food there, their culture and the whole experience as a whole was really amazing. Ever since getting back to US, I have been looking for a place that felt like being in Nepal, and Namaste really hit the spot. The staff there are amazing, the chef even took time to greet me. Absolutely loved it. Their food and atmosphere is amazing. Make sure to order their MoMos!“

“Great food! Just delicious!“

“Still some of the best South Asian cuisine in the Denver Metro Area!“

“i went for their all.day weekend buffet, and it was delicious! The sagg paneer, lamb curry, and vegetable pakora were my favorites as well as the selection of sauces and chutneys! the nann and raita were so cooling and refreshing for a hot day and help if you accidentally make your food too spicy, like I did!“

“Just tried this place and it was amazing! Definitely go if you are in the mood for delicious nepalese food:)“

“I love Spice Trade. it's pretty far to travel for me to get there, but well.worth or every time. I bring everyone who comes to visit us in CO there, it's perfect for my Girls Nights Out, and perfect for lunch with family and friends as well. My fellow likes to go there for the brews, I love the foods (ok, and brews...meads...wines...and cocktails too 😉). Chris the GM is outstanding and he probably doesn't know it but he's offered me 3 tours of the brewery when I was there with my girls/fam/friends. I've taken him up on that every time. 😊 I also love the wait staff, they're personable and often times it's a family affair. I highly recommend this place!“
