17 Best Indian Restaurants near Golden

“My husband and I have gone to this Indian restaurant a handful of times and it is always a great experience, amazing food, and attentive service. One of the best Indian food restaurants we have been to in a long time. If you are debating on going definitely go.“

“I had a great experience at India’s Best Curry & Grill and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for flavorful Indian food.

We started with the chilli chicken—initially it was a bit chewy, but what really stood out was the service. As soon as we mentioned it, our server replaced it immediately without hesitation. That level of attentiveness made a big impression.

The highlight of the meal was the thukpa noodles—absolutely a must-try when you visit. The flavors were rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced.

We also tried the Kerala chicken gravy, which was outstanding—full of authentic taste and cooked to perfection.

The best part of our visit, though, was our server, Dhiraj. He was incredibly humble, attentive, and took the time to have a genuine conversation with us. His honest recommendations really enhanced our dining experience.

Overall, amazing food paired with exceptional service. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“Food was great, plenty of it, well seasoned, lots of ingredients and lots of option.“

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

“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...“

“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!“

“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!🧡“

“This place is the best Indian food I have ever had. I ordered here one night craving some Indian (which normally is about once every 6 months), and now I get this once a week. The Tikka Masala is spiced just right, as is the curry. The naan is also incredibly good. I may start venturing out and trying some more dishes just because of how great this place is.“

“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“

“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!“

“I have been going to Cuisine of the Himalayas for years and they are always hospitable, friendly and the food is delicious!“

“Delicious food 😋 fantastic desserts 🍨“

“Very good and flavorful food! Hospitality was excellent and the place was very clean and inviting!“

“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!“
