“This place is an absolute hidden gem in the 32nd Ave neighborhood. My partner and I found it online through some searching and visited for dinner. We were sat right away, the server was very prompt in asking for our drink order and explaining the menu. Both the food and drink were out of this world. Highly recommend going and we will be back soon!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I cannot stop eating here! I’m so glad I popped in one night with my boyfriend and we tried it out because the food here is top notch. It’s hands down the best Indian /Nepali restaurant in Denver and I will continue to eat here weekly whether it’s dine in or take out so I can keep trying new things on the menu! If you like spicy, go for Hot or more, they don’t disappoint! Thank you so much to the whole crew who works here, you all are amazing and the food is magical.“

“Best place for masala and burger“

“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!🧡“

“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!“

“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...“

“The best Indian restaurant in Colorado. Excellent food. Unforgettable flavors that make you want to go back there again and again. A highly experienced Indian chef and excellent service and attentiveness to customers makes you feel the vibes (no pun intended). All their meat is cooked so tender in flavorful spices, they just melt in your mouth. It’s our highlight of every week. I can’t recommend this enough. The best part, they have the most reasonably priced lunch buffet in town on weekends and they alter the menu each week to give you the best variety of the cuisine.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Spice level just right/as ordered on the Saag paneer, appetizers super tasty!! Excellent, friendly customer service!!“

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

“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“

“great food just love this place so much“

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

“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“

“Delicious food 😋 fantastic desserts 🍨“

“Delicious! Excellent service and very pleasant atmosphere!“

“Our food was phenomenal! The flavors were amazing and everything was cooked perfectly!“

“Yum. I am not a picky eater, I am a particular eater. I like quality and flavor. Chai & Chai covered those. The flavor was wonderful and not too spicy (I do love spice). The ingredients are fresh and quality. The cafeteria style service makes for a quicker visit. Our group had the Chicken Shawarma on pita, Turkish Gyro on pita, and the Chicken Tikka Masala and a Samosa. They were all equally tasty, though I would choose rice next time just for convenience sake. The location is walkable if visiting someone at Anschutz Hospiral.“

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

“Just had the best momo in town at Mountain Bites Eatery! The Chicken Jhol Momo was perfect – soft, tender momos filled with juicy chicken, paired with a rich and flavorful jhol sauce. The sauce had the right amount of spice and made every bite satisfying.

I also tried their Popping Boba Mango Lassi for the first time, and it was a game changer! The creamy mango lassi was sweet and refreshing, while the popping boba added a fun burst of flavor with each sip. This unique combo made for a perfect meal. If you love momos or want to try something new, this place is a must-visit!“

“This was one of my absolute favorite places to go until last night 2/28/2025. Sat down for dinner and seen a pregnant mouse come out from underneath the booth by the bathroom. Didn't believe what I had seen until it ran out in front of the waitress while she was bringing out our food🤢 We still had to pay for the food too after telling them we had just seen a mouse, they brought out rice pudding as if that would help the situation. Who would want to eat the food after seeing a mouse? I gladly paid for the meal just because I know that I will never dine here again sadly. Disgusted and saddened by this as I genuinely liked coming here.“

“Part of the fantastic Mango House food hall. Dined there last night with family and friends, and had a fantastic curry, while my son very much enjoyed the momos. Good food, good-sized servings, friendly service -- would definitely go again.“

“Stopped by around 2 a.m. and was really thankful they were open 24 hours. I was hungry, and the chef was kind enough to make a few adjustments to my dish. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the whole experience was great. I'll definitely be back!“

“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!“
