1st visit – 4th Qrtr 2025
Late afternoon, early evening on a weekend and we were the only customers. A few more diners came after.
No fuss decor, clean and good for any number of diners.
We ordered:
Samosas and the Gobi Manchurian (mushrooms) to start with and both, personally, were the best of all the items we ate.
We also had the Naan bread, which, I found a little bit more sweeter and less garlicky for my taste.
For our main entrees:
Chicken Vindaloo
Curry Chicken
What we appreciated was the consideration for diner’s level of spice preference. The server asked us our spice level preference.
I opted for medium spicy for my Vindaloo but, it was very mild and I would have preferred a bit more of a kick.
My friend’s Curry got a from her.
I definitely will return to try more dishes but, more importantly, to again have some of the samosas and the gobi Manchurian.

Got delivery (via grubhub) and everything arrived perfect! Tell me a better way to end the week on a snowy night!
*Garlic Naan 10/10
*Chicken Tikka Masala w/rice 8/10 (first time trying this restaurant so I did no spice, next time I’ll know I can level up)
*Paneer Pakoras 10/10 (first time having this dish, absolutely delicious. Came with black and green sauces for dipping on the side both upped the flavor will definitely get again)

I very rarely leave negative reviews but in this case I feel obligated as we have had a truly terrible experience with this restaurant. I cannot understand the high score they have, there are quality Indian restaurants in the Denver area. We got stale naan, chicken tikka masala, and saag paneer. Flavors are just bland and inauthentic, no chance the chicken was cooked in a tandoori oven. We just moved a block away from the restaurant and were hoping to find a new go to Indian spot. Just incredibly disappointing especially considering their prices are a bit higher than some much better places that provide actual quality flavorful food. Please save your money.

The food here is absolutely amazing. We got garlic naan 10/10, we ordered fried rice (without egg) and it was the best fried rice I’ve had in the last 12 years. The tandoori chicken tika was beautifully cooked and seasoned and with a slice of lemon it couldn’t have been better. Definitely worth going in and sitting down and experiencing this place.

Garlic Naan is delicious!!!! I’ve worked with a lot of Indian families and have eaten a lot of Indian food. This place makes excellent excellent food!! I highly recommend that you get the garlic, cheese naan and what ever main course you love. I’ve tried a number of different menu items here and they have all been absolutely delicious! Good service and clean restaurant. Thank you and can’t wait to see you all again!

Truly disappointing experience. Burnt naan and chicken. Not even mixing the Biryani up so that the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Not at all authentic Indian flavors. 1000% not worth the $120 I paid for dinner.
Edit: I called and left a message with the managers voicemail. And it’s been 2 weeks and I’ve never received a returned phone call. So they obviously don’t care much about their customers. I won’t be back. Too bad I wasted so much money on food that was all tossed in the trash.

We recently dined at garlic, naan, Indian and Nepalese restaurant & bar and were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the service. with each food item was masterpiece of flavor. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about their craft. We can’t wait to return!”

I really like this place. I figured it was new but didn’t know how new. I love that it’s casual, yet the ambiance is relaxing and private/ peaceful. It’s all booth seating! Service was quick. We got chatpate (rare for a Nepali/ Indian restaurant to have chatpate so this was a treat), veg momo (sauce a little spicy) but both sauce and momo were a super yummy combo (I would argue this is one of the better places for momo compared to many other longer established Nepali/ Indian restaurants, did not disappoint), chicken chow mein (they use cabbage and roasted chickpeas so it reminded me of authentic chow mein from Nepal :), also I feel a rare find), samosa chaat (my first time trying! Pretty good) and rasbari (THIS was the REAL surprise. Nepali/ Indian restaurants usually serve gulab jamun and while that’s ALRIGHT, I’ve ALWAYS naturally loved rasgulla/ rasbari more and FINALLY a restaurant that serves it!!!!). The reason I gave food 4/5 was because we asked for mild chatpate and it was really spicy. 🙁 overall, nice people and customer service 🙂 I enjoyed it and will be returning

I’ve been waiting for months for this to open and I happened to drive by and see the open sign and I’m so happy I did! They opened 3 days ago and as I was waiting for my to go order, 4 more patrons came in to order and 2 came in to eat. It’s an actual restaurant and bar and not a fast food place. They cook the food to order and to your desired spice level. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic cheese naan. Being a wimp, I asked for no spice. It took about 25 mins to get my food and it was worth the wait. The portions are big and enough for 2 meals at least. The sauce was very flavorful and not spicy at all. There was 2 slices of naan and you could taste the garlic and the cheese. Will definitely be coming here weekly.
