Good food - terrible to women!!!
Posted by tallamazon on 06/17/2009
My husband and I visited for lunch a few weeks ago, especially as we both very much love Indian food. The waiter spoke to my husband and did not acknowledge me. As he was taking our (?!) drink order, I asked for a soda. You'd have thought I had asked him to cut his hand off or something. He looked at me with such hatred in his eyes and walked away. He did bring our drinks, again, without acknowledging me at all. I went to the buffet area and was placing some lunch items on my plate. A waiter knocked into me, and rather than issue a statement of any kind to me, he glared at me, swore under his breath and proceeded to stock items in the buffet. I thought between the two waiters, perhaps I was just imagining such rude behavior, but my husband noticed as well, especially when our table waiter stopped back by and continued ignoring me. I made eye contact with him, took the bill from him and paid for our food. Normally I leave a very nice tip...not this time! Here's a tip for you: Good food only gets you so far...there's certainly enough competition. You'd do well to treat women customers with at least the same courtesy you reserve for your male customers! Needless to say, we won't be back.

Came for lunch
Posted by xstineonthescene on 05/26/2009
I wanted to treat my boyfriend for the first time and was REALLY disappointed when I saw like 4 items to chose from from the buffet. The food was good though for what they had, but I was really sad when they didn't have the blocks of cheese in the spinach dish. And only ONE desert?!! Come on :(

Highly Disappointed
Posted by MA123456 on 01/29/2009
I read the reviews and decided to check this place out. As I entered the restaurant, the atmosphere was really nice, but the waitstaff don't have personalities. My boyfriend is not a picky eater, and was not impressed with this place. We ordered an apetizer and I was disappointed because I felt like I was eating grease over and over. The only thing I enjoyed about the meal was the Tandoori bread, and the salad which I could make at home. I ended up paying $64 for an apetizer, a glass of wine, and 2 meals. For this price, I should have taken him downtown.
I would definitely think twice before dining here.

Good service (as long as your not a woman), very good food

I am a huge fan of Indian food and was very happy with the quality of the food. However, I was absolutely treated like a 2nd class citizen when my husband and I had dinner on a Friday night, several months ago. The only members of the all-male waitstaff who even acknowledged my presence or bothered to speak to me were the busboys, and the water servers (they were clearly Latin-American). The waiters (of either Bangladeshi, Indian or Pakistani decent) only addressed my husband and the only time the waiter looked at me was to take my order. When the waiter came back late in the meal to check on how "we" were doing he asked, "How is everything, sir?" and didn't even look at me for my response. My husband was also very aware of it and we just sat there amazed, watching this bizarre, backward drama play itself out. I didn't complain and neither of us asked any of the staff about it and remained polite and cheerful so as not to disturb the ongoing weirdness. I also wanted to see if any of these men would warm up to a friendly customer. Even on the way out of the restaurant the only person that the waiter or maitre'd said thank you to ("Thank you, sir!") was my husband. At that point, I gave up and started walking out of the restaurant as the maitre'd and waitstaff crowded around my husband to thank him. I felt like I'd entered a 14-century patriarchal society (or modern-day Afghanistan) in the middle of southsuburban Denver. The finest restaurants in the United States always treat women with respect, chivalry, and dignity. I experienced the exact opposite.

Finally, really great Indian food
Posted by BRRainmaker on 06/20/2008
This is the best Indian restaurant we've been to in the Denver area. The atmosphere is very nice, the service is prompt but not in-your-face, and the food is truly spectacular. It was deeply flavorful and not simply hacked together or dumbed down like so many other ethnic restaurants. It was a delight dining here.

Very bad customer service
Posted by dsfoodie on 02/29/2008
We made a reservation and had to wait 30 minutes when we arrived on time. Obviously reservations do not mean much at this restaurant. We waited almost an hour for our food and had to flag the waiter down. He did not come back until 45 minutes later. We only got our food after we asked for it again after waiting. When we complained about waiting almost an hour on our food we were told that it usually takes 45 minutes to get the food so they suggest appetizers. Our server never told us that and we ordered naan originally and we did not get that until after we got our food. The food was very good but the service was horrible. We did not receive an apology and because of the bad service we will not be returning. Had management at India's given an apology and good customer service we would have came back.

Simply the best!!!!!!

The Best Indian Restaurant in Colorado.. Amazing food. great service...
In my 14 years of eating Indian food, this place, by far offers the best indian food.
If you live in Colorado and want to try Indian food, make this the place to do so..
only other place that I can compare to this indian restaurant is India's Castle in Greenwood Village, but India's is simply the best...
I been a customer here for more than 5 years... I love the samosa, they have lamb samosa too.. Its an apptizer stuffed with potatoes in crispy crust (veggie) and/or lamb(non-veggie) both are excellent.. and the Ticca Marsala.. is delicious.. and the Jhangir - with shrimp and chicken..
Great wine list..
Excellent.....

my most favorite restaurant
Posted by nicholeschittone on 12/31/2007
i've never been to india, so i really wouldn't know if i've ever had "authentic" indian cuisine, but i do know that i had been to 3 indian restaurants before coming to India's, 12 years ago, kicking and screaming that i HATED indian food. this was deliciousness like i had never had before. and to everyone posting that the service is lackluster,... i have no clue what you're talking about!!?? perhaps YOU'RE being rude and loud and demanding and the staff just doesn't care to take that from you. i had waited tables for eons and only ask for my water to be filled, for my order to be right, and for the server to genuinely care when they ask how everything is. i get above and beyond that with my experiences in this restaurant.
my husband and i get take out from india's almost every friday night. i don't know if the "older", (because he can't really be all that old), bald guy is the owner or has just been the manager for 12 years, but he's always wonderful and super nice.
wonderful food and excellent service. to anyone who says the service is anything but, i would wonder about them.

Excellent excellent excellent!

I've seen other reviews on here about the poor service, and my husband and I went there last nite expecting good food and not much else. We found the service impeccable, the wait staff very friendly, and the food was amazing. Having been in the restaurant business for years, I know that some customers demand the staff wait on them hand and foot, and other customers want to be left alone to eat in peace. I think that the service was a happy medium between the two, and our food came out reasonably fast. I would recommend ordering an appetizer first if you are really hungry so that the wait doesn't seem as long. Also, it's wise to make reservations to make sure you get right in, otherwise you could wait awhile to be seated as the place was jam packed. Excellent decorum and great ambiance. Two thumbs way up!

Never a disappointment, always phenomenal!
Posted by bananny on 10/19/2007
My love of this restaurant started when I was in High School (over 10 years ago). My parents love this place and have taken me numerous times, driving all the way down to Denver from Greeley just because they love it so much. Now that I live in Denver, I try to stop by as much as I can.
In the multiple times I have been to India's I have NEVER, not once, been disappointed. The food is always extremely delicious, the service is top notch & we've never had to wait for a table. I highly recommend a mango lasse with an onion salad to start topped off with some garlic naan. I have ordered many different dishes during my many different visits and every last one of them has exceeded my expectations. I think the lamb tikka masala is my favorite with a tomato soup to start.
Such delicately & perfectly flavored dishes. Just thinking about it makes me wish I was there right now.
