44 Best Indian Restaurants near Lakewood

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Little India in Belmar was our favorite Indian restaurant when we lived in Lakewood, and it still is now that we moved up north. The whole family of five loves it. The food is exceptional, the service perfect. Whatever we have ordered, it tasted heavenly. We have never been disappointed by anything over the years. I forgot taking a photo before much was eaten - the formidable food set other priorities.
If somebody expects that the waiter asks every three minutes if everything is alright, he or she might be disappointed. At out last visit, it happened only once, I think. This was very enjoyable as the constant intrusions during our meal we would find annoying. Service was there when we needed it.“

“One of the best place in denver for delicious Indian,Nepali and tibetian flavors.don’t miss this wow taste.“

“Dined here for the first time last night. Great meal!! We had the 3 veg/vegan dishes. I will definitely return and try some of the chicken dishes. Relaxing atmosphere, calm and no feeling of being rushed. Glad to support a local, small business. I will be returning many times!“

“My DU student and I recommend everything! The food is amazing (I recommend the eggplant Ragu), the price is right, and the family that owns and works are lovely and want everyone to be happy and to enjoy their food. It’s amazing!“

“Best Indian restaurants I never had before. The staff was so friendly ??“

“Variety like I have never seen before! Menu offers so many choices that I had to venture beyond my tried and true favorites. I usually have Palak or Saag Paneer. I tried a different paneer and the honey curry. Chef noted my desire to stay on the mild spice side. The tandoori chicken wings were among the tops of my wings experience. If you are there for happy hour (starts at 3 pm), you must try them! I ordered a large amount of food so I’d have leftovers to take home.“

“Extremely friendly staff, nice music, and open LATE. The lamb and saag are great, the dry chili tofu appetizer is hands down the best tofu dish I've had to date. Looking forward to exploring the burgers and Greco-Mediterranian parts of the menu in future visits. If you're there during bar hours, The mango chili cocktail is also great.“

“Stopped in with a friend and had a delightful dinner. We started with the curry fries which were very hot and fresh and came with a delicious dipping sauce. We also enjoyed their complimentary veggie soup. We ordered palak paneer, yellow Dahl and garlic naan all of which were fantastic. The service was wonderful. The place is brand new so it was pretty quiet for a Friday night but i am hopeful that more people will discover this new cap hill gem! I highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: Our dinner was completely vegetarian, there was a very large vegetarian menu with lots of options.“

“"The absolute best wings of my life," said by all three of my table mates (one an absolute wing connoisseur) regarding the Achari wings.

Excellent saag, naan, lamb, tandoori, and chai. Service and staff terrific. Made with great care and attention, fresh, and terrific.

There is adequate parking, and very easy access to/from Hwy 6. This place will be our new go-to without question!

Vegetarian options: Great, diverse vegetarian menu with abundant variety.

Dietary restrictions: We went with friends who have Celiac and were pleased that all items were clearly labeled for folks needing gluten free/vegetarian options.

Parking: Plenty of places to park around this small outcropping of stores.“

“Lamb Korma was on another level! Service was great too! Highly recommend 👍“

“We love this place! The Tiki Masala and the samosa are delicious! Reasonable prices on food and drinks. We will definitely keep coming back!

Kid-friendliness: Several kid friendly options like chicken tenders, fries, and Mac and cheese!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Wow! My partner and I were visiting from out of town and just looking for a nice, reasonably priced Indian resteraunt when we stumbled across this food truck. This place is spectacular! Highly reccomend the coconut chicken with Garlic Naan 😋

Extremely kind staff

Thanks so much!“

“Very affordable lunch buffet. Great service. Super clean and the food was good. My favorites were the saag paneer and butter chicken. Sundays are free streetside parking and we found parking around the corner.“

“Haveli has been our go to Indian place for years. We’ve always ordered to go but stopped by today and the in person service was outstanding. The restaurant has amazing people working there and the food is -always- phenomenal. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great experience Chris & crew- we will see you very soon!!“

“Great traditional food!“

“I cannot highly recommend this place enough. Customer service was phenomenal but even better than that were their chicken wings. I order wings everywhere I go because it's hard to find a good wing. As soon as I smelt the chicken wings I was like alright. Took one bite, The crispiness and spice level was there. Meat slid right off the bone. They really were fantastic! I live 45 minutes 1 direction away from this place and I'm up at 5 in the morning thinking about the chicken wings I got yesterday writing this review. Honestly debating if I need to go back today or wait until this weekend. If they can cook a wing this delicious, I cannot wait to try their vindaloo! 10 out of 10! If your reading this, go here!“

“Indian fast food with a twist, very clean & hip with healthy options reasonably priced yet super tasty. Must try their heavenly Butter Naan. Marshall ,the owner/chef & host has stayed open through pandemic, he is a fighter and this is a true American success story.“

“Another fine dining experience at Spuntino. Daniel, our server for the evening, did an outstanding job and is so fun to interact with! The food was delicious and the new Spring menu should not be missed! Yummy pastas! Wine was delicious as well. Thank you Spuntino!“

“Our favorite local food, and there is a lot of competition nearby! Their mixed grill plate has yet to disappoint anyone we’ve had try it, and I love all of the eggplant dishes. Great naan, great apps, everything’s great.“

“Every time I order from this restaurant, they knock it out of the park. The sweet potato masala is the smoothest, creamiest, best tasting I've had. The garlic naan is always perfect. Honestly though, I have never had anything from Himchuli RINO that wasn't wonderful. The food and the service are equally terrific.“

“Great food superbly done. Attentive staff. Food presented well and hot. If you're in the neighborhood, I recommend this restaurant.“

“Best place for masala and burger“

“My date and I had such a wonderful time and experience. We felt as though we were so wanted. I asked for the server's recommendations and he did not fail us... just simply awesome! This is our date night spot. Chef Tony McCummings“

“We stopped in on a whim because our daughter wanted to try Indian food. Very impressed with this place on all levels. Food, service and atmosphere were all great. Tons of regulars in the place is always a good sign. We will be back!“

“They have one of the best Birayani I have ever tasted in the US. They are very friendly, clean, and nice place to sit and eat. Lots of Nepalese music and vibes and run by Nepali owners.“

“Best service and Best food“

“The patio is gorgeous! And I can find gf/df options. Delicious!“

“Wasn't happy that I reserved ahead of time and got in but a couple without a reservation and seated after us were served first. Understandably it was very busy, but I felt that the staff were unprepared for how busy it was. Food was great! Drinks were tasty! And booths were comfortable! Service could have been better. I would need to come back to see how service is when not busy.“

“I delivered mail to this restaurant one day, and it smelled delicious. I had been wanting to try it ever since and waz not disappointed. The food waz delicious and the service waz great, very friendly and helpful staff. The Lamb Sikh cabob waz SOOOO good! A little spice to it, but not hot, borderline mild-medium. The portionz were very generous and even the yellow rice waz delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal at a fair price. Will definitely be going back!!!“

“The food was amazing Spices on point Service excellent Atmosphere very culturally appealing Lots of food and reasonable price Recommended 👌🏽“

“With a vast menu with Indian and Mediterranean fusion dishes, it's quite delicious! If you like heat with your food, go Medium and Hot. We had Mango Lassi, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Calzones. There are vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. Baklava is also really great.“

“Very beautiful interior, with dim lighting. Really enjoyed Lamb Biryani and Mango Lassi (highly recommend if you like fresh mangos).“

“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!“
