“The apps, desserts and drinks were fabulous. There was WAY too much going on in the entrees, and none of the 6 of us were particularly blown away by our meal. The burratta app, the cheese plate and every dessert and cocktail were FABULOUS. Our server Janine was WONDERFUL, friendly, knowledgeable and took care to call out the included gratuity. Every staff member was very friendly and the vibe and noise level were great. I would return for drinks and apps!“

“BEST India food in Colorado, atmosphere is welcome, our waiter was awesome. My food was spicy good, he even offered to remake it for me if too spicy but I declined, 10/10. This was my first time trying butter chicken and samosa, they are must try.“

“My new favorite late night spot. They have a creative menu and everything is delicious, you have to try the cheesy masala fries! Nita and Pravesh are very friendly and aways make me feel welcome every time I come by.Vegetarian options: It’s an Indian restaurant so they have vegetarian options for just about everything on the menu.“

“First time, not the last time at Unique Indian. We were greeted by their friendly staff when we picked up our order. We had a most delicious assortment of items including their veggie momo, butter chicken, chicken saag, shrimp noodles, butter naan and garlic naan. Can't wait to try new things next time. Everything was so tasty!“

“Madan was an incredible waiter even though he is new! Our first time here, all the food was incredible. Try the mild+ option if you want a bit of spice but are little afraid.Rashmalai was decadent. Yummy! Will be back.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options availabke“

“Enjoyed lunch at Haveli today. This was our first time at the restaurant and the food was wonderful. What made the experience for us was the friendly and attentive staff. We felt so welcome to be there and came away feeling like VIP customers. We will gladly return to Haveli very soon.“

“Indian fast food with a twist, very clean & hip with healthy options reasonably priced yet super tasty. Must try their heavenly Butter Naan. Marshall ,the owner/chef & host has stayed open through pandemic, he is a fighter and this is a true American success story.“

“I come here and get the lunch buffet. It's good. It's a good price. Even though it went from $9.99 to $12.99, it's still worth it. As with any buffet, getting there earlier is better than the very last minutes. I recommend it for a tasty lunch.“

“Their chicken Tikka masala is absolutely incredible. hands down the best Indian restaurant I've ever been in.“

“They have one of the best Birayani I have ever tasted in the US. They are very friendly, clean, and nice place to sit and eat. Lots of Nepalese music and vibes and run by Nepali owners.“

“Deserves 10 stars really! Our favorite Indian restaurant just keeps getting better! We've been eating here since they opened in the Highlands and we're so happy to have this location in Arvada. In addition to their already stellar menu, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian options they've added and extensive cocktail list and Dosas! No more long drives to south Denver because the northwest metro has a place for proper Dosa fix! Tried a few already and they're a must, and Arvada is the only location that has them on the menu. Can't say enough good things about this place. Only downside might be the hit to our finances because we love this place so much!“

“Some of the best Indian food I've had. The chicken marsala is delicious and it comes with naan, but I substitute my naan for garlic naan since I like that a little bit more. The rice is great too! There was a line when I was there but it moves fast and the food comes out quickly to! I only waited for a few minutes, definitely less than 5 minutes. If you work near here and are able to stop here for lunch you won't miss out! Also they accept cards which is great since I was assuming they were cash only, but they aren't! Amazing food at a great price, it's really the best around!“

“The patio is gorgeous! And I can find gf/df options. Delicious!“

“Great traditional food!“

“Great food superbly done. Attentive staff. Food presented well and hot. If you're in the neighborhood, I recommend this restaurant.“

“We went here for the first time after a hike. The food was soo delicious !!!! The owner made us feel very special. He was truly kind and treated us like family. The silverware and atmosphere were pretty as well. The restroom was clean. I couldn't wait to finish my left overs the next day!“

“Our favorite local food, and there is a lot of competition nearby! Their mixed grill plate has yet to disappoint anyone we’ve had try it, and I love all of the eggplant dishes. Great naan, great apps, everything’s great.“

“We stopped in on a whim because our daughter wanted to try Indian food. Very impressed with this place on all levels. Food, service and atmosphere were all great. Tons of regulars in the place is always a good sign. We will be back!“

“The owner of the restaurant just called me a working class driver (in a tone that sounded like he was talking to his slave from a throne) for asking him about a wait time on a delivery order for uber. I don't think my son or I will be eating here for a 7th time, we will take our hard earned lower class money to Yak & Yetti for some better made food and company. People like him that are dismissive of another persons right to service based on financial class will come back as a snake...“

“They have one of the best Birayani I have ever tasted in the US. They are very friendly, clean, and nice place to sit and eat. Lots of Nepalese music and vibes and run by Nepali owners.“

“I am not going to lie. I have been to like maybe 5 different Indian food restaurants, so I really am no expert. But this has been my go to for years and years and is my favorite spot. In fact my whole family loves it and we come probably once a month, if not more. I love their curry fries, samosas and the Vindaloo. The family will always get the tikka masala or makhani. I think I honestly have eaten close to everything on this menu. It never disappoints, well like they are humans making the food so like maybe one time I got a curry that was lil watery and not as good as we usually get it. But I was like literally one out of 200 orders at this point. And I think it was even during or after the pandemic so like they get a hard pass on that. If you come for a lunch here you should definitely do the buffet. For the price you can seriously try a lot of the menu. It also seems to change a bit from time to time which I think is great. It's always fresh and the service is good. The beers are also great, I like the something giant its got hibiscus in it it's so good. Then the jalapeno pilsner is wild good. Like drinking spicy beer and eating spicy vindaloo on a cold winter day is grand.“

“Really nice, clean, and re-modeled place. The food is fresh and wonderful and reasonably priced. If you are looking for an Indian Food Buffet, all you can eat, this place is outstanding! Actually Indian Buffet's are hard to find now. When ever I am in Denver this is my go-to spot for their wide selection Buffet. I recently enjoyed the spicy Shrimp and several Vegetable dishes. The Chicken dishes were varied and delicious. I noticed they have $5 Draft Beer on tap. Nothing beats a cold beer and spicy Indian food. Highly recommend!“

“Such good food! The buffet is amazing! There is plenty of variety to please everyone. The saag paneer is delicious. One of my favorites. I have celiac but almost everything is gluten free. There's also plenty of vegetarian options. Plus meat dishes that are chicken and lamb. All of it is just delicious! Only complaint is that the raita is spicy. Usually that's what I use as a fire extinguisher because I love spicy food as long as there's something to cool down a little. It really surprised me.“

“great food just love this place so much“

“My date and I had such a wonderful time and experience. We felt as though we were so wanted. I asked for the server's recommendations and he did not fail us... just simply awesome! This is our date night spot. Chef Tony McCummings“

“The customer service and attentiveness of the waiter was exceptional. We did come pretty late and managed to still serve our party delicious meals. Will definitely come back!“

“We took our friend here for a celebratory dinner, none of us had been here before. we were delighted! the service was top notch! The food was exceptional and the ambience was elegant and cozy at the same time. when I walked in, I just stood for a moment breathing in the beautiful atmosphere. very affordable! we met the new owner who personally brought our meals to the table! highly recommended!!“

“Their buffet is amazing! It was great to sample dishes I wanted to try but not be stuck with if I didn’t like them. Needless to say it was all delicious and freshly made. Our server was attentive and I will definitely be going back, we usually just DoorDash from them. So glad we did the dine in option.“

“The lunch buffet on a sunday cost about $20 per person. It was so worth it. I had to get seconds of the Lamb Ragan Josh and the Alu Gobi. The chicken soup was amazing as well. When I went it wasn't very busy. Our server was very nice and I don't think my water was ever less than half full. The fruit tasted fresh and delicious. I would definitely come again.“

“I love Indian food and this place was excellent. I knew the minutes I walked in and my eyes started burning because of the spice in the air that it would be good. Great service. Lamb vindaloo was delicious. I had a couple of Taj Mahal beers, because of course I did. Garlic naan was good and garlicey.“

“Their rice is infused by cumin seeds, and it's delicious and aromatic every time. Their main courses are flavorful, and they have a 0-10 spice scale so patrons can dial in the spiciness they would prefer. The naan is among the best in the Denver area -- crispy, airy, buttery.The staff has always been engaging whether I've dined in or taken out. The atmosphere is welcoming. It's a wonder that this place isn't jam-packed constantly because it's high-quality Indian food and a great place to start for people looking to dip their toes into this incredible cuisine.Vegetarian options: Tons of great vegetarian options.“

“My friend & I both ordered lunch specials, which for $20 included appetizers, entrees (with rice as needed), nan bread, dessert and a fountain drink. Not cheap but good value. The dishes were fresh and flavorful, the restaurant is beautifully furnished and quiet, all worthy of a premium price.“

“Great food, nice variety of buffet options, affordable prices, inviting staff and well-decorated dining area. You can either choose from the menu or the buffet. Really liked the garlic naan bread! Not visible from Colorado Blvd, it’s located east of Sprouts. The buffet price is hard to beat, especially with how expensive restaurants have gotten in Denver. Make sure to check the days and hours when they’re open.“

“Very beautiful interior, with dim lighting. Really enjoyed Lamb Biryani and Mango Lassi (highly recommend if you like fresh mangos).“
