46 Best Indian Restaurants near Lakewood

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is excellent and deliciously spiced. The Basmati rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked. We ordered Lamb Masala ($20) and Chicken Korma ($18). Both dishes had nice portions except for the meat. The korma only had seven very small piece of chicken. The masala had only 5 pieces.

We will return to try the lunch buffet which rnds at 2:30. Overall great place!

We will return“

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

“Food is interesting and delicious. Servers are helpful though a bit theatrical. Noise level is much too high for me. I love the place but will never go back with more than two people total cause I don't like having to yell over dinner.“

“Our favorite Indian Cuisine. We love to go here after church with family and friends. The food is superb. 🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“The food was consistently fresh, and the staff were polite and efficient. The calm surroundings made the stay very comfortable.A high-quality stay with well-prepared food, attentive service, and a serene, clean environment. Excellent value.“

“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.“

“Just had a delicious lunch here, chicken tikka masala and seafood curry. come on over!“

“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...“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent atmosphere - Sam immediately welcomed us upon arrival and got us settled in quickly & with a positive attitude that continued throughout the course of the meal. Rather accommodating and the menu had several vegetarian options — which were incredible (I had the Veggie Momo — the sauce was EXCELLENT) medium spice was incredible and full of flavor. & the mango lassi —— GOODNESS!! So yum. Thank you thank you!“

“Best service and Best food“

“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“

“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.“

“Great traditional food!“

“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.“

“We loved our visit to Sukoon. 💛 Fantastic & flavorful food, authentic, naan bread is fabulous!, mild is actually mild!, so much flavor and wonderful service! Great atmosphere! Cocktails are unique and yummy! Go try it out! You won’t regret it! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is a 6 star restaurant. The food here is just amazing. In my opinion it’s the best Indian food in Denver. The flavors and spices they use are excellent and the food taste is consistent every time we go back. Then the owner Niran is top notch. One time our order was not perfect and he replaced our entire order which is not common these days. He even through in a special appetizer. I just feel it is rare you get customer service like that these days. Then we have never eaten at the restaurant, but when my wife went in t pick up food, she was very complimentary of the ambiance, so we may be dining in soon. If you want the best Indian in Denver, go here - great food, but even better service.“

“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!“

“The food was delicious, the portions were generous. Felt like a neighborhood. highly recommend.“

“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!“
