Little India Restaurant - Downtown
Voted Denver's Best Indian Restaurant fourteen years straight, Little India Restaurant offers a unique experience in authentic Indian cuisine in a comfortable and friendly environment. Located in downtown Denver, half a block from the 16th Street Mall, and two blocks from the Colorado Convention Center and Denver Performing Arts Complex. This charming and colloquial establishment sits in an unobtrusive lot, quietly waiting to surprise guests with a bold mix of exotic flavors. The simple exterior gives way to a pleasantly adorned interior setting that feels warm and intimate, replete with tasteful selections of Indian artwork.
The lunch buffet is an all-you-can-eat experience, featuring appetizers, curries, masalas, vindaloos, specialty dishes and more all for the incredibly modest price of $8.99. In general, the Little India Restaurant is a very moderately priced destination, allowing guests to indulge in the sensational tastes of India without breaking their banks.

"I was pleasantly surprised. The lamb madras had a good flavour. The menu indicated it was a very hot, which it should be, but I did not find it to be that hot. But I like very hot spices so my sense of hot is skewed from what other consider hot."

"I would not recommend this location! If you want a good Little India try the one in Belmar..the ambience is nice, the wait staff is professional and you don't feel like a sardine on the street, with the bonus of free parking! This was not worth the money!!"

"My husband and I decided to come here for restaurant week since we both enjoy Indian food.
From the beginning, our service was very abrupt. One of the servers practically threw our waters at the table. Then our waitress ran by our table and said she'd be right with us. To start we were given their complimentary app of seeded bread/crackers, which came with two sauces. The green sauce was incredibly hot...I mean crazy hot and we weren't given any warning. Though it put a bad taste in my mouth, we enjoyed the rest of our meal."

"I wanted someplace close to DCPA for dinner before a show. I told the staff we were a little pressed for time due to the show and they helped us get out on time. The food and the service were both great. I'm looking forward to eating there again."

"I really enjoy Indian food and Little India was no exception. The food was really good, but very standard Indian fare. The service was good - we didn't wait for anything (drinks or apps) and our waitress was nice. I would note two things. (1) They stuffed our party of four into a small table that didn't even fit all of our entrees (hence the "fair" for ambiance - that is never comfortable. While I know why places do this, I really wish they wouldn't). (2) I wouldn't bother going for 5280 Denver restaurant week because it was definitely not a deal. We ended up eating off the regular menu and getting more food for the money."
