A word from 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.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "The food was mucky at best - it was not hot when it arrived and it took a long time - the restaurant was half empty so not sure what was going on. Not going there again that's for sure!"

  • "Sauces/condiments were very good although I preferred mint chutney at other restaurants that I've eaten at much more. Tamarind Chutney was very good. They offered a really good deal on a 3 course dinner for two which we decided not to order which included a bottle of wine which we wouldn't have drank. I am surprised that the main dinner items don't come with a soup choice. It was not a big deal, I guess I'm just used to it at other places. Main dish was very good, Shrimp Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka were outstanding. I didn't really like being seated right next to another couple. Impossible to not overhear their conversation. Excellent service. Arrived early, seated right away. I will look forward to eating here again when in Denver."

  • "Lamb saag and shrimp vindaloo were outstanding. Service was attentive. Sitar player on the floor was a nice touch. Enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner. A nice Indian experience, reasonably priced."

  • "The food here is incredible and authentic. Their menu offered a nice variety- great for people who know their Indian food or if you're new to the food. The only problem is that I ate too much so leftovers weren't an option. :) Their drinks were generous and offered a great variety. Loved the live sitar music."

  • "Little India has great food and a good atmosphere. It's delicious and I would recommend it for anyone looking to try something new or if you like spice."

  • "We recently met friends for a casual and enjoyable evening of dining at Little India Downtown. We expected the food to be very good and it was. Little Inda at the South Downing location is one of our favorites and has more ambience, but this downtown location is an excellent choice for the savory smells and tastes of Indian food in Central Denver."

  • "They didn't have a table for us as requested. Our neighbors were loud. The service was very slow. Overall not as good as I hoped but if you have time to kill and I mean plenty of it go here. If not don't bother."

  • "Great location and good food if you are interested in New Years dining before or after the fireworks on Denver's 16th Street Mall."

  • "We have really enjoyed Little India in other parts of Denver (both near Belmar and most often on 6th Ave), but the downtown location nearest our home has never held the same quality regarding food, service, atmosphere, or just overall experience for us to enjoy a night out. Plans changed late for New Years Eve so we decided to try it again since a table was open, and everyone was impressed. The meal was excellent and the restaurant ran smoothly despite such a crowded event downtown, so this location is definitely back on our list for an enjoyable evening."

  • "My husband and I enjoyed this restaurant for dinner on Saturday. It was a very early dinner, so it was pretty empty. We enjoyed being taken care of by the wait staff, they were very attentive. We will consider returning again when we go downtown!"

  • "Tried Little India in downtown Denver based on well-deserved great reviews on the Web. The menu was extensive. My vegan husband found many options among the entrees. I had Ginger Chicken Kabob and loved it -- so richly flavorful and grilled perfectly. Our side dishes also were well-prepared. Also loved the Garlic Naan. Our waitperson was knowledgable, lively and attentive. We booked our last-minute reservation through Open Table. It was a good thing because there was a line at the door. I look forward to another meal at Little India next time I'm in Denver. Highly recommend this restaurant."

  • "We live in sunny California, we discovered this Gem on accident via Open Table. The food was awesome. My husband had Lamb Vindaloo and I had Chicken Tikka Marsala. It was the best, the wine was cold, the waiter very friendly and it was very reasonable."

  • "Nothing special but very good food. Great service. I didn't like how you have to basically sit on top of each other but it wasn't crowded."
    Dined on 9/26/2013
  • "The normal Indian fair. Nothing special or unique. Didn't like the water in the metal cups. Tasted metallic. Also, we didn't appreciate the seating of small children at the table next to us. The kids were crawling all over!"

  • "LI consistently provides a great Indian meal! LoDo location is perfect before a show at the Denver Performing Arts!"

  • "Great India flavor with delicious mango lassis, nann bread and curry dishes. I absolutely loved all of it and I am a seasoned India food lover."

  • "Good quality. Really good, enough to justify the price. Bur the flavors were too subdued. They weren't shy with the capsicum(god bless them), but it had nothing to accentuate. The rice was prepared perfectly. So good I might just eat that next time as the entree. Ooh! Interesting papadam, and notable tamarind chutney."

  • "Bachelorette party began here. They served us great food in a festive atmosphere ... and plenty of vegetarian choices."
    Dined on 6/28/2013
  • "Vindaloo, Mixed Grill Tandoor, Garlic Naan & Taj Mahol constituted a wonderful feast , coupled with timely and welcoming service."

  • "It was nice food and an enjoyable location. Though I didn't sit there they did have a street side outdoor area that would be nice as long as you like the busy street life."

  • "We love this place. The veggie options make it a favorite."

  • "We came with a party of 8 though not all of us came in at the same time. The staff was very awesome about waiting until everyone was there before taking our orders. Once we did order the food came quickly and it was delicious. Those in the group who were trying Indian food for the first time were astounded they waited so long to try it. I wouldn't go here everyday due to the price, though the lunch buffet is tempting. It was an overall great experience."

  • "Terrific food, good service, and a nice atmosphere combine to make Little India a definite Yes!"

  • "The Chicken Tikka is always a treat. My wife and I share this meal with a vegetable korma. I recommend making reservations late at night."
    Dined on 4/26/2013
  • "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."
    Dined on 4/16/2013
  • "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!!"
    Dined on 4/12/2013
