Pretty good deal for a quick lunch in the DTC. Â $8.95 gets you an all you can eat buffet at lunchtime and the food seemed pretty hot and fresh.
I spend a lot of time in this particular strip mall (my all time favorite Whole Foods is right there) and have never thought to stop into India's (because my all time favorite Whole Foods is right there). Â The lunch club brought me in.
I had heard ravings about the saag here and it did not disappoint. Â Bright green spinach, just enough cream, and it didn't taste like it had been sitting out for too long. Â Also tasty was the chana masala as well as the pakora like fritter things with peppers in them. Â Not good at all was the daal soup. Â It tasted like nothing but....mouth coating. Â The actual daal lentils (lentils lentils?) were what I was actually looking for and they were pretty standard.
The buffet is just the right size and suitable for everyone. Â It has the requisite unnecessary "salad bar" that all Indian buffets seem to have that people only visit for the chutneys (or at least I do).
The servers/water fillers are not the friendliness nor do they fill your water more than once. Â However, paying was painless and lunch easily fit into a lunch hour. Â When craving Indian buffet in the DTC area, India's is not a bad bet.
Maybe my expectations were too high.
Maybe I wasn't starving.
Maybe the food is boring.
Maybe the food is really boring.
Maybe I don't understand Indian food.
Maybe even $8.95 for the lunch buffet seemed way too much.
Maybe it was almost a one star.
Maybe the place was really clean.
Maybe the water refill service was good.
Maybe I won't go back.
Luckily, I was dining with wonderful friends.
I went here on the personal recommendation of a friend. Â It was good, but I must say that India's Castle on Arapahoe is still the #1 leader of Indian Food in my book.
I found India's food to be somewhat bland. Â I love my Indian spices, and whether you order the dish mild, medium, or hot, I still want to taste hefty amounts of cardamom, coriander, cumin, clove, turmeric, etc. Â
I love my Indian food to "sing" and sadly, my Saag Paneer just tasted like sauteed spinach with cream with very little saag and the Chicken Tikka Masala honestly tasted burnt. Â I have had Tikka at many Indian restaurants and I have never had it taste like this before. Â Perhaps they actually burnt the sauce or perhaps a weird spice was added to make it taste burnt?
It was also interesting that the rice was a flavored rice (saffron perhaps?). Â I prefer the delicate white Basmati with Indian food.
On a good note, the service was very friendly and attentive. Â The Sweet Lassi was the best I have had in quite a long time, as was the Kheer (rice dessert), with almond slivers and raisins.
Rather mediocre. Â We came here for lunch, and everyone had the buffet. Â I don't recall anyone particularly raving about any one offering. Â For me, the best two things were probably that the tandoori chicken had a nice smoky element to the flavor, and that there were a fair number of dishes being offered. Â That said, the tandoori chicken was rather dry, and they were using some fairly small chicken parts. Â The chicken curry was quite bland and was skimpy on chicken. Â The shrimp vindaloo was rather tasteless, and although I dug for shrimp, the only chunks I found were potato. The saag paneer was average. Â The dal soup was boring. Â The lentils were uninspired. Â The service was fine and the restaurant space is similarly acceptable.
Review Source:We were the first to arrive for their lunch buffet, but the spot was quick to fill up! We enjoyed the intimate setting with low lighting, smartly dress waitstaff, and upscale decor. The buffet featured loads of hot, steaming options. All of the entrees featured a rich, deep flavor without being too oily or creamy. Cheap price, excellent food. Not only "Denver's First Indian Restaurant," but the best!
Review Source:I can't vouch for the authenticity of this place, but my British husband and I order take-out from here at least once a month - if not more. Â The food is consistently yummy, with rich, flavorful sauces, delicious naan, and fresh side dishes. Â My favorites are the chicken tikka masala and the chicken makhani murg. Â If you're looking for vegetarian options, there are plenty here as well. Â The chana masala, saag paneer, and dum aloo are delicious. Â The cinnamon bread pudding is fantastic - not overly sweet, but the perfect ending to the meal.
Take out usually takes 30-45 minutes from the time of the order. Â There are some carry out parking spots in front of the building, which are so handy since the lot can often be packed from the other nearby businesses. Â
If you are dining in, plan at least 90 minutes for the experience. Â Staff is efficient, but not overly kind, which is more cultural than anything - they're not rude, they are just all business. Â
Dinner for two will run about $60 - more if you're having drinks and dessert. Â It's worth every penny, in my book!
Came here with a group of girls one afternoon for their lunch buffet. I am never too certain about Indian lunch buffets because sometimes that can mean only a couple options. I was pleased with India's because they had many options and never stopped bringing out different dishes. We made a few trips up before throwing in the towel and calling it quits. My favorite dish was the Chicken Masala and the Naan was fresh and perfectly soft. Will be back for lunch buffet for sure.
Review Source:I still liked the original place behind Tamarac Square. Â it certainly was more intimate. This place is huge. Â The buffet lunch was pretty good. Â Love their red chicken. Â When the old one was first opened every table would get a plate oft his moist chicken before you even ordered and you could watch them making it and I thought that was cool.
From the little I know of Indian food this is one of my favorites at least in Denver. Â I love all the vegetable items. Â My husband loves the Vindaloo. Â Before walking out of the restaurant I grab a hand full of the herbs. Â I love those little red things. I guess I am into red.
All in all I am glad to have made it to this new place that houses Indias.  When in the mood for this type of food I am sure I will head back here.  Only wish I knew more of the  different foods.
Now well settled in its pleasant new location, India's has hit its stride. Our meal was wonderful -- we practically licked the plates. I don't think you can go wrong here.
We didn't ask for special spicing. It was tasty with lots of nuances, not killer-hot. Later I asked if it was the mild spice level and yes, it was. If you want hotter, just ask.
It's not cheap, but it is definitely wonderful food.
This was way outside the box for me, but I gave it a try. Â The staff was helpful in helping us figure out what to order. Â I had a chicken (what else) ticcoBhoona, which was like a smokey marinated sauce. Â It comes with spicy rice and slaw. Â Jileasa ordered a Lamb Kashimirri, which comes almost like a stew. Â The atmosphere was casual and family dining, all the staff was Indian, spoke English but was very hard for me to understand. I am always a fan of giving something a try and it was a good experience in trying something different.
Review Source:This was some of the best Indian food I've ever had (sadly did not eat the buffet because it was din-din time). I'm not rating it a 5 because 1) The food took FOREVER to arrive and 2) They charge for naan.
On the plus side:
1) The food was sooooo good.
2) Servers were attentive and refilled our drinks often.
3) Nice ambiance.
4) Comparative pricing to other Indian restaurants.
5) Everyone except the one person we were with that didn't like Indian really enjoyed their food and commented on it often.
Indian food at its finest this place is not ..... Having been here 4 times now, I find myself thinking the following every time I leave: why do I go here? The food is about as typical as it gets. Saag Paneer, Vindaloo, Tiki Masaala are all of typical preparation. The beer (old monk and taj mahal) are overpriced but not too bad.
The naan are pretty good (garlic, plain and stuffed) and should not be missed.
The location although better than it was accross the street is somewhat scetchy in the back of the mall. The wait staff take away from the overall experience as they do make it seems like you are bothering them with your presence.
Overall, a typical Indian restaurant with average food. I would recommend lunch over dinner but would not travel cross town to visit this
Overall, a greasy and average dining experience that simply lacks that special oooomph!
We visited from out of town and went here because we thought it might be the best Indian in Denver. Â It may be - but if it is, Denver has REALLY bad Indian. Â It just didn't work for us.
We began with my favorite appetizer - Paneer Pakora - heavy batter created a thick crunchy outer layer. Â I prefer a thinner batter personally. Â Their paneer is definitely whole milk - which is too creamy. Â I prefer 2% - which most places use.
We had 2 entrees:
1. vegetables in a cream sauce - veggies were inconsistently cooked (i.e. carrots over cooked, cauliflower under cooked).
2. Paneer Malkani - one of their 'signature dishes' - again the paneer waaaaay too creamy.
We also decided to try an Indian beer - we went with their recommendation - the Taj Majal beer. Â The only beer I have ever had I couldn't take more than 2 sips of. Â I told the guy I like hoppier, more bitter beers. Â We got very yellowy sweet, unhoppy. Â I don't fault them on this one - it's not their beer.
The atmosphere is WIERD. Â They have huge black industrial ceiling with floating rectangular platforms with cheapo lights that look like they belong in a hallway of a rental apartment. Â Surrounding them is all kinds of paper globes and Indian decor. Â Very tacky.
The chairs were very uncomfortable. Â The traditional tamarind and mint sauces sit on glass ash trays on the table - tacky.
Service was poor. Â We had to flag down waiters for everything. Â They were slow but somehow so was the food and service.
The food is okay but the ambience is too dark for my liking, romantic outing or not, and the staff (which is all male) makes me somewhat uncomfortable either due to hitting on me or completely ignoring me when I am one party of two in which the other party is male. I wouldn't mind getting hit on IF I was interested but it becomes irritating when I make it clear I am not interested and the person continues to persist. ugh*
This was my second time dining here and only at the suggestion of my date so I will most likely not be back.
Best Indian food in Denver - much better than Little India. I have been here at least 50 times and it is always good
I have never tried the lunch buffet and I don't intend to. If you are looking for quality don't bother with buffets.
Samosas are fresh and crispy.
I always get the Rogan Josh, Chicken or Lamb Bhoona, or Vindaloo
Bhindi Masala and Aloo Gobi are good too if you are vegetarian.
You can request white meat chicken only which I recommend
Another one of denver's over-estimated restaurants.
I went here for the lunch buffet, and was greeted by the banner "Denver's oldest Indian restaurant". The decor is very rajasthani, but the food was nothing great.
First of all, this is a smaller buffet compared to other buffets in Denver. Out of all the dishes, only thing i could like was the Saag (which tasted like any other Saag).
If you are going with a GPS to this place, know that the GPS will most probably drop you in front of the Home Depot. You need to go around that building to where the Elvis theaters is.
Wow... the food was so bland. Â
I've been to India - so, I've been spoiled!
Great location, very clean, but the food - not authentic.
The lunch buffet offered a very limited selection. Â And, most of the options were not the best dishes.
If I had to pick the best dish available - the chicken curry. Â Decent flavors in the sauce, but no spice...at all. Â Some butter on the nan would not hurt either. Â
My first and last time. Â Disappointing.
A colleague was trying to remember a restaurant in Denver that he had enjoyed long ago (over 10 years). Â While visiting Denver on a business trip earlier this year he stopped by another Indian restaurant for dinner and asked the manager if knew of the other restaurant. Â The manager mentioned India's Restaurant and provided the address. Â Since we thought getting a recommendation of an Indian restaurant from another Indian restaurant might be a favorable sign that the place was good, we decided to give it a try recently. Â Joined by three other co-workers we stopped by on a Monday night.
The restaurant is in a strip mall that includes a Whole Foods Market, a Fitness club and several other stores. Â India's Restaurant is in the back next to the Elvis Cinemas. Â The mall has a sizable parking lot and we didn't have any problems finding a spot across from the restaurant.
We ordered a few different Indian beers - Kingfisher, Old Monk 10000, Flying Horse and one other. Â They were all quite good. Â Since I ordered a combination Thali ($19.95) which is sample of several dishes, I didn't bother to order an appetizer. Â The dinner included salad, rice & peas, lentils, chicken curry, potato/pea curry, a lamb dish (lamb vindaloo?), tandoori chicken and another lamb dish (lamb sheikh kabab?). Â The waiter had asked how I wanted it prepared and said that the hot was really hot. Â So, I ordered "medium." Â However, it was not hot at all. Â Each of my dishes ranged from okay to pretty good. Â The lamb dishes were particularly tasty. Â The nan good but I have had better.
<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/c8BHCl7PrB81Wyf5WxIQfA?select=DBhwex_COzWO1oIQr8009A">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>
Two others ordered a three-course combo for two ($40) which included an appetizer, a few different dishes and Kheer (rice pudding with almonds and raisins). Â They ordered the Keem Samosa appetizer (minced lamb). They really enjoyed their appetizer and entrees (Tandoori chicken, salad, rice & peas, lentils and a curry dish) but they raved that the dessert was absolutely superb.
The waiter was attentive and helpful. Â The menu has numerous entrees, appetizers and desserts to choose from, plus a variety of different beers were available. Â All in all, we really had enjoyed our dinner very much.
What did the chickpea say to the lentil bean?
Can you peas len me a hand with this all-you-can eat Indian buffet?
Alright, so I'm not exactly a comedian and I certainly won't quit my day job. Â But when it comes to really good solid Indian food, India's Restaurant is no laughing matter. Â What you will want to chuckle over is the price. Â $8.95 all you can eat lunch buffet. Â For real?!
This is some seriously good food. Â I've been eyeballing it for some time now and after a session of yoga at the gym next door I decided to continue my namaste.
I found out quickly that their lunch is only a buffet and the menu is reserved for dinner. Â No problem. Â I passed the salad section and headed right for the good stuff.
Saag Paneer - spinach cooked with cheese and spices. Â So good I went back for seconds!
Bengan Bharta - grlled eggplant with peas, potatoes and onions. Â Great flavor and my second favorite.
Chana Masala - spiced chick peas. Â Wonderful texture and well rounded taste.
Chicken Curry - Beautiful golden curry with hints of spice to liven it up.
Shahi Bhajia - deep fried veggie fritters. Â A little too crispy for my liking but great once I softened it up with some sauce off the other dishes.
And the naan....obviously homemade with a nice chewy texture and soft and spongy inside.
With such outstanding dishes I could easily become a vegetarian and not bat an eyelash.
It's been awhile since a meal brought tears to my eyes. Â While living in Portland many years, I had to come to terms with the fact there there isn't good Indian food there. Â Such a food town, yet that seems to be the one kind you just can't find, excepting only a couple of ok foodcarts. Â
Arriving in Denver today and not wanting to be a bossy guest, I really had to bite my tongue from blurting out "Take me to India's, now, jerks!" the second I was picked up from the airport. Â Â Karma, and korma for that matter, must have been on my side today, because as luck would have it... that's where my hosts picked. Â I had nothing to do with it, I swear! Â I've been dreaming of eating here again forever, and the stars finally aligned. Â
When you need the full Indian food experience, not-counting-calories tonight, gimme-one-of-every-Kashmir-flavor-that-exists, yes, please I'll take pappadums AND naan, thanks... this is the spot. Â
Do yourself a favor and go with a group and order a wide variety. Â Indian food is best shared, for starters, and best when you have 5-6 different things to try on one plate so you can mix 'em up together, right? Â You simply cannot go wrong here. Â Meat-eaters and veg alike will ooh and ahh at the samosas, chutneys, aloo chaat, masalas, roti and all manner of curries, plus everything that goes along with, including their amazing, super spicy condiment. Â Mango lassi will even that out for ya. Â
I could go on and on. Â I think what did it, what brought the actual tear to my eye, was the saag paneer. Â Best. Â Ever. Â Ever. Â Ever. Â Food of the sub-continent, so amazing. Â India's... there's a reason they've been rockin' it for twenty years. Â Oh and prices are way decent for how amazing this food is. Â
*sniff... tears of joy, wishing there were any leftovers.
Excellent Indian food and a place I used to visit all the time for the lunch buffet when I worked nearby, but this was back when they were in their old location. Â Unfortunately, I'd never made it for dinner until recently. Â A fairly large group of friends showed up for a friend's birthday dinner. Â Service was reasonable as we got some drinks, Samosas, and breads. Â
For the dinner, I got an assortment of tandoori and curry dishes along with more Nan. Â Everything was cooked well and had a ton of flavor as expected from Indian food. Â Overall, the food was wonderful. Â I don't think anyone was disappointed. Â Birthday boy also got a little dark thing with a candle in it as well. Â I think it was edible, but I was drunk.
An interesting trivia fact my friends found out is that the 69 without the sauce is apparently the 24.
Food is quite tasty, but the waiters and the manager/owner are sorely lacking in welcoming and accommodating guests. Â Seems that customer service has a completely different definition or is irrelevant in their minds. Â We currently boycott India's because DH and I were made aware of the fact that the staff is underpaid and the manager told one of our close friends that he needed to tip more.... Â Huh? Â For poor service? Â Oh, yeah, reward bad behavior in order to make up for the manager's not paying enough.......real nice!
We personally observed the waitstaff spitting out snide remarks to guests who arrived at the buffet less than 30 minutes before it was supposed to be over. Â I'm sorry, but if someone is willing to pay full price for a buffet when they are eating the "leftovers" that should otherwise be thrown out/wasted, you should be grateful.
IMHO, if anyone there deserves generous tips, it would be the cooks and only the cooks.
UPDATE 4/2/2010: Â If you like the food and flavors at India's, but want better service, try India's Castle on Arapahoe (just E of I-25, in a strip mall near Home Depot). Â Their rice pudding is to die for!
I am very new to indian food but it is quickly becoming a favorite. My boyfriend has been coming here for years upon years like some of the other reviews when it was located in Tamarac Square. So now its in Tiffany Plaza, and the restaurant is very nice inside. Pretty open for space, neatly decorated, clean, everything one could ask for at an eating establishment. There also is a neat little window on the way to the restroom where you can see them cooking the nann and you can see right into the kitchen and how clean it is. Also a plus in my book.
Wonderful chicken tikka masala. Samosas were yummy and the Aloo Gobi was delicious.
For well over 20 years (basically since it first opened in fact), India's has been a family favorite. It began life in Tamarac Square before moving in 2009 to Tiffany Plaza, where it now sits in a space formerly occupied by an Armenian restaurant called Jubilee as well as another entity called Kermen which made delicious hand-pulled Chinese noodles and dumplings.
The service at India's is polite, but to-the-point - no small talk here. The ever-changing lunch buffet is always a nice option (particularly if you may not be terribly familiar with North Indian cuisines), and the large menu is sure to tickle your fancy in one way or another.
Roghan Josh is one item which has always been popular on our visits. Originating way up in Kashmir but mutating somewhat as it travelled through north India, this dish consists here of slow-stewed lamb with ginger, garlic and other delectables. Another favorite is the creamy and vibrantly red-hued Chicken Tikka Masala, which was actually "birthed" in Scotland but is based upon much-loved Indian classics.
As befits a nation where vegetarianism is widely practiced, India's also gives you a number of meatless offerings. I like the smoky sweetness of Bengan Bharta (roasted eggplant), the chewy thickness of Bhindi Masala (stewed okra) and of course the Khumbi (mushroom) Curry which throws peas and potatoes in for good measure.
Each meal comes with cute little metal cups of Basmati rice, a tomato and lettuce salad, and Raita (a cucumber-yogurt condiment particularly useful if you ordered something just a little too spicy). You can also order one of their breads,. slapped on the inside wall of the Tandoor (inhumanly hot clay oven) and baked to perfection. I particularly like Peshwari Naan with coconut and raisins - but I may be a little biased since my grandfather was actually from the city of Peshawar in what is now Pakistan.
End your feast with something sweet. Many South Asian desserts are based on Khoya - milk cooked down in a very intensive process until it is thick and sweet. This is indeed the basis for India's chewy Kulfi (ice cream) - the pistachio and mango flavors are the best. Or maybe an aromatic Kheer (rice pudding with raisins and almonds) is the one for you.
For a Mughal masterpiece, it's hard to beat India's.
India's Restaurant's "Saag Paneer" was listed by Denver Magazine as one of the top 100 must eats in Denver, so I gave it a shot:
Rating: 6.5 (out of 10)
Price: $8
The Skinny: I love Indian food. Â I love the sauces, the curry, the westernized flavors from years of English influence... mmmm - imperialism never tasted so good.
India's Restaurant gets it all right and their Saag Panner definitely lives up to their excellent reputation. Â It was creamy and smooth, and seasoned just perfectly. Â In another life, it could have been a centerpiece - surrounded by chips and served as a spinach dip at any number of restaurants. Â Here it is just another well made component in a deep bench of good dishes at India's. Â Solid effort and execution.
I've got a picture of it up on the blog on my profile
jko
I had dinner at India's. Â The new location is nice and more spacious than the old location across the street. Â I don't think this is the best Indian restaurant in Denver, but if you find yourself there, I think the following things are good:
Onion Bhaji (Fritters).
Bengan Bhartha (Eggplant).
Coconut Shrimp Curry.
Tandoori Murg (Chicken).
Nan.
I got to hit this place again last night for my birthday dinner. Â Once again, it failed to disappoint me! Â It was absolutely delicious and spicy! Â It burned my face off and I loved it! Â At least for those of you that are afraid of a little spice, you can order to your liking from mild to extra hot. Â I ordered my dish hot... oh yeah!
The service was a little weak, but the food was so good that it didn't matter too much. Â I had the "Boti Saag" which is lamb in a cream spinach sauce. Â OH MY GOD it was so good! Â If you're a connoisseur of Indian cuisine, you absolutely must try India's!
On a side note, they mentioned that they will be moving from Tamarac Square soon. Â I think they said they will be moving to Tiffany Plaza, but I don't remember. Â So, in the near future, make sure you confirm the location before heading over!
Fine dining should be all about atmosphere and service and offcourse good food. I stopped by India's on a Wednesday night at 7:40 p.m. for dinner with my wife. I intended to eat Sheekh Kabab and Naan and a cup of Indian milk tea. The Naan were the best of all, the Sheekh kabab was good but at times I felt it was undercooked and milk tea was very sub-standard as it was watery and not enough milk!
The worst part of the visit was the waiter. I have seen him work there during another visit and I was hoping I wouldn't have him to serve this time. My bad luck, it was him again! This guy doesn't know how to greet customers and attend to their needs. There's always a sense of rudeness in his approach. At the end of our meal, he was just standing and peaking at our table waiting to grab the empty plates as if he was in a hurry to go home. he even took away our sauces before we finished our meals!
My rating for this place is because of the poor customer service. Their food is good but can be better.
i've only had their lunch buffet since i work nearby. Very tasty and enjoyable, but not the friendliest service; Lurch from the Addams Family must be the service trainer.
-1 Star for the Franken-servers
-1 star for only having tried their buffet...maybe that should be against me i guess...meh, they can have it.
Went here on a saturday night. We went relatively early - 6pm. But thankfully we had a reservation.
I met a lady later in the rest room that had a reservation but that it had been "lost".
The decor is definitely fun! And the booths are pretty rooms! I'm sure we could have had a party of 6 with no trouble.
The staff is definitely on the ball. Our water glasses were always full - although the fella filling them seemed a little put off at our water intake.
The staff is definitely all about moving the meal along and getting you out the door! That kind of feeling left the meal slightly sub par.
We ordered a bottle of wine with the meal and it was very good. Nice price too!
We decided to have everyone pick a meal and go family style - which seemed typical, but was not when all of our plates arrived ready for a single person to eat...
We started with 2 orderes of somosas and they were fresh from the frier and pretty good!
For the meal portion we went with the
We went with makhani murg, gorst (lamb) paneer, chicken curry, and some other chicken vindaloo!
The paneer was wonderful, and makhani had a great flavor!
The garlic naan was great and just perfect for dipping! Â We went with 2 servings!
For desert they were out of the cinnamon bread pudding, but they didn't tell our companions till they delivered hubby's Gulab Jamun. Strange.
The entire time we were slowing down in our eating they would come over and attempt to take our plates (still plenty of food on the table and on our plates). It was disturbing. We got to wondering if perhaps they were out of plates or perhaps had served us incorrectly.
Good food, fun atmosphere, but the rushing and rude behavior would keep me from coming back. I gave it a 2 for those main reasons. What good is having a great meal if it isn't any fun?
This was my first visit.  I made a special trip over for the lunch buffet.  An Indian restaurants lunch buffet  is not always indicative of their overall quality, but it was lunch and i was hungry. Â
I arrived at 11:15 and was surprised that they weren't open yet, some people who work in offices take lunch between 10 and 11. Â
I was excited to be getting there at opening time because it would mean that the food would all be fresh. Â I enjoyed everything I had but didn't feel like there was a big selection. Â There was naan, tandoori chicken, vegetable pakoras, saag paneer, vegetable masala, garbanzo stuff and curry chicken. Â I like everything I had but I would have like another meat dish with a creamy sauce. Â The naan was better than I have had on the buffet at Little India. Â The pakoras were dense and very flavorful. Â '
Next time I will come for dinner so I can try my favorite Shahi Korma. Â Since I am so close I will probably even return for the buffet, I will probably call and ask if the selections change though. Â
Unfortunately, my husband does not like Indian food. Â He hasn't tryed a whole lot of it so I think I can still change him, but I would hate to take him here and have him not like it.
I like India's and I'm not sure there is a better Indian restaurant in Denver. Â The thing I really like about it is that each of the dishes from the eggplant to the vindaloos have different tastes and spices, and they aren't indistiguishable curries like other Indian restaurants. Â
Having said that, I'm not convinced that India's is a great value. Â Call me biased, but I have a constitutional disposition against spending 20 dollars per person on Indian food. Â The dishes are far from generous when you're sharing among the people at a table. Â And for gosh sakes, they don't need to skimp on rice the way they do.
It is with solomn countenance and heavy heart that I wirte this review. Â Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
India's used to be the best Indian restaurant in Denver, nay, the country. Â When I lived in Denver, I would go once a week. Â And when I travel back to Denver, it's always been one of my three must-eats (along wtih Piccolo's for pizza and Benny's for Mexican). Â Verily (verily!?), I'd eaten there as recently at 2006, with excellent result.
So I popped in last week for a lunch buffet and found the buffet had shrunk from 20 items in the 1990s to about 5! Â I helped myself to some chicken curry. Â They didn't bother to debone any of it and just dumped whole pieces of wing and breast (bone-in) into the (what I now know to be) slop. Â Scraping the meat off the bone and then grabbing it with the (not so fresh) naan, my last hopes faded. Â The curry was bland. Â Not only did it lack any kind of firey heat, it lacked spice. Â The pungent curry taste was gone.
Alas, India's has abdicated the throne, which now belongs solely to Amber India in Mountain View, C-A.
"Alas, Poor India's! I knew it, Horatio: a restaurant of infinite chai, of most excellent curry: it hath borne me on its buffet a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it."
