    Food: We ordered Pakora Makhani in starters and Paneer Makhani with Naan for main course. The gravy in both, the starter and the paneer makhani was same, though it tasted good. Paneer was rubber like and hard. Service: I have never been to a restaurant with service as slow as this one. The server didn't really care to ask us what we needed or if the food was good or not. We waited for 10-15 mins to get the check and still the guy didn't turn up. At last we had to pay at the counter. Best example of poor service. Highly disappointed. Ambience: The ambience was calm and the interiors were beautiful. Overall Experience: Highly Disappointed

    So first off $18 and change is way too much for the buffet. $12 would be fair. The samosas and tandoori chicken are amazing! They bring out fresh naan if you’re eating the buffet which is nice. They usually only have 1 non-vegetarian main entree option on the buffet which is either curry chicken or butter chicken and most days the sauce is very watery and not very flavorful. It would be nice to see some Vindaloo on the buffet. The servers are always very nice. With the naan, tandoori chicken and samosas that most folks have to eat with their hands they really should switch from cloth to paper napkins. Cloth napkins tend to smear food more than absorb and clean it from your hands and mouth plus they only have so much surface area. I’m sure that if they lowered the price of the buffet that they would get more business, the servers would get bigger tips and I’d go there a lot more often.

    Service: very slow service totally disappointed 😞. Waited for 20 minutes with a menu in hand and finally someone showed up to ask "what are you eating today?" Food: ordered pakora masala, the gravy was good in taste but pakora were undercooked. Everything else was good.. Authenticity: the restaurant looks authentic Indian restaurant, ambience is very good but I won't say the food is authentic. They used same gravy for pakora masala and paneer makhani. Cost: pokara is overpriced for the quantity and quality Overall experience: It's ok for one time visit but won't recommend as a go to Indian restaurant.

    I've been going to this restaurant since they opened in 1998. Excellent food and service. Their lamb korma and chicken masala are the best. Try the Flying Horse beer from India. They have no need for gimmicks or specials to get people in. Once you try them you're hooked! 😉 Both locations are fantastic.

    Food was not good. We were given raw food. Couldn't eat and we live far away from restaurant. All our chicken was under cooked. Could not eat. The lamb birayani could be fed to a vegan as there was no lamb and pieces of bone in it. Very expensive food to not be able to eat

    Place,, ambiance,, service, were Excellent. Food, was super,, extremely spicy. Honestly, we all (group of 4 people) who love spicy food & know very well Indian food, were disappointed by the amount of red hot chilli that was used. We had biryani, different types of Masalas, all were too spicy that we couldn't finish our dinner.

    Buffet is available Saturday. $10.79 including tax. Great deal. Only a few main dishes, but more sides than I've ever seen at an Indian buffet, so you won't leave hungry. Nothing was real spicy except one bite which ranked as one of the most spicy things I've ever eaten. But I recovered and enjoyed the rest.

    I had an amazing experience here. Our waiter Yaphet, was extremely helpful in recommending dishes. The food was extremely delicious. Yaphet knew all of the ingredients to the dishes and was able to recommend food to accommodate for a dietary restriction. He warn of the spiciness of the madras which was very spicy and truly authentic. I highly recommend this establishment as both the food and service were amazing 👏🏿 🙌🏿 😍

    Just an all around pleasant experience. Very friendly staff. We were well cared for but not hovered over. The food was fantastic both the meat and vegetarian dishes. Lunch is a buffet, well worth the price

    Whoa, this is really good, and what a great place to eat. Everything looks fantastic, from the internal architecture to the outer design. The staff members are also incredibly helpful and kind. Kunle was our server, and he was really attentive to us; we will definitely see him again. There are many alternatives to pick from and the cuisine is wonderful.

    We came in here on a late late Saturday night. The staff was super friendly. But the music was so loud and so annoying that we really just wanted to eat and leave. I understand they play the music that’s comfortable for the restaurant. But this was super loud and it was like some rapping going on with gunshots. And I understand word a younger crowd at night. But I just felt like it was not appropriate. The food was good. They provided a free yogurt sauce. It was really delicious. We’d had a ginger beer which I do not recommend it because it was very sweet.

    I tried the chicken tikka masala with rice, delicious. There is a buffet which I think you can pay for the buffet or pay for what's in the menu. I got the chicken tikka masala bc that's not in the buffet. Will come back!

  • 3/5 Robert F. 2 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    The food is great but it is not cheap, $20 per dish. I like to pick up my food and I tipped and paid a bag fee. My food is 30 minutes later then the pick up time I was given. It’s been a long time since I ordered from here and it will be a long time until I order again. I need to be somewhere and planned accordingly and drove here to pick up. If they charge top dollar and ask for a tip when picking up they need to do better

    I feel like I’ve seen this place called a dive and it’s way above that. It’s one of the top Indian food dinners I’ve ever had ever, the service was some of the best I’ve had in Denver!

    The food was really nice and the staff is really friendly and helpful. We had a great experience with cool cocktails and dish suggestions by our server Deep. Loved the mango mango drink and samosa chat.

    I couldn’t ask for anything better. I came in and needed to charge my phone, and Perry sat me at a table—specifically to charge my phone. I decided to order food, and it was legit the best I’ve had anywhere. Perry introduced me to the cooks, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Most professional and relaxing atmosphere I could ask for. Nothing but 10 stars from me!!

    Have been here for dinner and lunch buffet. The food is very flavorful and traditional. Staff is incredibly kind. Today at lunch we even received complimentary mimosas and an onion dish. Delicious, consistent Indian in Denver, only have been to their 6th Ave location.

  • 5/5 Utsav S. 11 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is a pleasant place to visit, especially since it is open until 1 AM on Sundays. I highly recommend trying their momos as they are fantastic! Additionally, their sizzling dishes are delightful, although they may be slightly burned. This is uncommon in most Indian restaurants in the US, which adds to the uniqueness of the experience. I also had their lamb biryani, which was decent, although I've had better elsewhere. Overall, it's a great spot to explore, and they offer a good selection of drinks as well.

  • 5/5 Christian W. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time here the service was great and the food was as well. I would highly recommend the combo curry as it is very good. The Turtle Molten Bundt Cake we had was also amazing

  • 3/5 Steve R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by for the lunch buffet, which was very affordable. The selections were mostly appealing and tasty. The naan was chewy and crunchy in the best way. I thought the samosas were the best part, especially when dipped in Tamarind chutney. Some of the vegetable dishes seem to have been sitting out perhaps too long, so that their flavor and texture was all similar. The staff were helpful and courteous.

  • 5/5 Riya V. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my boyfriend came to Denver from Texas, and we made it a priority to try out as many cuisines as we can. We stumbled upon this Indian restaurant and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I’ve grown up in edison and Plano and they’re both known for his soaring Indian population but this place out does them all. The best Indian food we have ever had! Wait is really long, I suggest taking it to go

  • 5/5 JB B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been eating here nearly every Friday for over 10 years. The family and staff are so friendly the food is unbelievably consistent and of the highest standard. Everybody in there treats me like family. I can't recommend this restaurant enough and I can't thank Little India enough for all the hard work over the years !

  • 5/5 Richie M. 2 years ago on Google
    We were recommended this place by the locals. We scheduled a delivery and I thought they would be late, like most restaurants. The delivery was 10 minutes early! That's wonderful! The customer service at Little India was amazing. I asked whom to refer to, and they let me know to mention Lonnie. Thank you, Little India. We will definitely be ordering again!

  • 4/5 Tabjula A. 2 years ago on Google
    If you love mid level spicy Indian food, then add this to your bucket list. Ambience is so nice and service is super good. No wonder this was chosen as best Indian food place in Colorado for consecutive years . But, If you need higher spicy level (like south indian spicy level - Give a heads up before you order)

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Little India, and I must say it was an exceptional experience that exceeded my expectations. As a lover of Indian cuisine, I am always on the lookout for restaurants that deliver authentic flavors and a memorable dining experience. Little India did not disappoint. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by warm and welcoming staff members who exuded genuine hospitality. The restaurant had a beautifully decorated interior, reflecting the vibrant and rich culture of India. The cozy lighting, comfortable seating, and tasteful decor added to the overall ambiance, creating a delightful atmosphere for an enjoyable evening. The service at Little India was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to assist. They were well-versed in the menu and provided excellent recommendations based on my preferences. Throughout the evening, the servers made sure that my dining experience was seamless, ensuring that my water glass was always filled and promptly attending to any requests. The highlight of my visit to Little India was undoubtedly the exceptional cuisine. The menu boasted an extensive selection of traditional Indian dishes, showcasing the diverse flavors from various regions of India. Each dish I sampled was a masterpiece in itself, prepared with care and precision. Starters like samosas and pakoras were perfectly crispy and filled with deliciously spiced fillings. The aromatic and flavorful biryanis were a symphony of fragrant rice, tender meat, and aromatic spices. The curries, whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian, were an absolute delight, with luscious gravies that complemented the tender meat and fresh vegetables. The balance of flavors in each dish was impeccable, and the use of authentic spices transported me to the streets of India. The presentation of the food was also commendable, with attention given to every detail. Considering the quality of the food, the impeccable service, and the overall experience, I found Little India to be excellent value for money. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable, given the authentic flavors and the top-notch dining experience provided. In conclusion, Little India is a hidden gem that captures the essence of Indian cuisine beautifully. From the moment you enter, you are greeted with warmth and hospitality, leading to an exceptional culinary journey. The authenticity, flavors, and attention to detail make it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable Indian dining experience. I highly recommend all 4 Little India locations to all food enthusiasts, and I am already looking forward to my next visit.
