42 Best Indian Restaurants near Lakewood

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

“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!“

“Little India Restaurant and Bar is a nice place for flavorful Indian food in a comfortable sit-down setting. The menu has plenty of classic options, from curries and tandoori dishes to naan, rice, and vegetarian choices, making it easy to find something satisfying. The flavors feel rich and well-seasoned, and the atmosphere works well for dinner with friends, family, or a relaxed night out.“

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

“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!“

“Loved it here! The fusion between Indian spices and traditional Italian was one to remember. My friend and I really enjoyed our cocktails as well. Great service, the atmosphere was slightly too loud for my liking but still had a great overall experience. Will be back!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“A hidden gem. Fantastic food, wonderful staff. 5 stars!“

“We were traveling and Denver was our food stop — and this restaurant turned out to be a real surprise! It genuinely feels like a family-run place where they’ve put their heart and soul into both the food and the ambience. We ordered the Veg Thali (mild spice level — perfect for kids). Every single item was flavorful and comforting: • Paneer Butter Masala • Saag Paneer • Dal Tadka All were rich in taste and beautifully balanced. We also ordered extra garlic naan, which had the perfect crispness and softness. Even after it got cold, it didn’t turn chewy — that’s rare! Also, a note for future customers: the curry portions on the thali are generous for one person. Highly recommend this place for anyone passing through Denver or craving homely, flavorful Indian food. Will definitely return! 🙌“

“This restaurant is a true celebration of world flavors. The momo dumplings were tender, juicy, and packed with savory goodness. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The Thai green curry was a standout—aromatic, comforting, and full of fresh herbs and coconut flavor. Each dish honored its roots while coming together in a beautifully curated menu. The staff was warm and attentive, and the cozy ambiance made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold, authentic flavors and heartfelt hospitality!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, prices and atmosphere! Highly recommend“

“If you’re looking for authentic Nepali food, this is the place to go! The flavors are amazing, and every dish tastes fresh and homemade. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a cozy, relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. I can’t wait to come back and bring more of my family and friends to experience this wonderful restaurant!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best place for masala and burger“

“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...“

“This has been our 4th time eating at Tikka Masala. The place has an excellent authentic feel with great portion sizes. The Chicken Tikka Masala is amazing and I recommend it. The staff is friendly and the place is one of the better restaurants in the Arvada area.“

“Excellent food and very friendly staff. Small quiet place, with nice ambiance. Will be visiting again soon. Anxious to try out some different dishes! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by the truck earlier today and grabbed a Mango Lassi. 10/10 best I have had! The two staff members working in the truck were also incredibly friendly and made the experience that much better! Definitely would recommend to anybody who can get there and I know I will be back for food and another Lassi soon.“

“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“

“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 Indian food in Colorado. Amazing tikka masala and chicken tikka pizza. Amazing experience all around. Owner gave us samosas on the house and was so kind and hospitable. The samosas were amazing and came with a habanero sauce. Will be coming back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Best service and Best 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.“

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

“Delicious food 😋 fantastic desserts 🍨“

“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!“
