    Chicken shawarma

    I know for a FACT this is a smaller portion than a year ago. I used to love this place but clearly it's gone downhill. I went in about 12:30 and it was EMPTY which should have been a sign. There was one worker there who did not look pleased to be there and did not understand what I wanted. I ordered the chicken shawarma and the chicken masala and she did not ask what sauces I wanted and did not include pita bread. I don't think I can continue to support this business, the food is not the same.

    Very delicious meal and quick service! I was very impressed with my experience and the inside was very clean. I would definitely go back.

    Chai & Chai is one of my favorite Indian/Arabic restaurants in the Denver/Aurora areas. I seriously get it once a week. Everything is delicious, but I love the chicken tiki masala and the baba ganoush. The workers are always so kind and helpful too!

    Lamb shanks for a group event
    Heather T.

    Our international food group came here tonight. We had the choice of a buffet or ordering off the menu. The hubs and I have never had Jordanian food before so we wanted to try as much as we could. The buffet was our pick. We had so much food to sample. The lamb shank with yogurt sauce is a very traditional food from Jordan. The lamb fell off the bone and onto a bed of delicious yellow rice with vermicelli and almonds. A ladle of the yogurt sauce transformed the dish into something magical with no hint of the lamb gaminess. I also really liked the cheese samosa and potato samosa. The cheese was salty almost like a feta but not quite. The potato samosa was in a really nice pastry and jam packed with potato. The food was both Indian and Jordanian but so good. Other tasty dishes were the baba ganoush, hummus, paneer in tomato sauce and a Jordanian eggplant, tomato and beef dish. The baklava was good too and a sweet way to end the meal, however it was doughier than other baklavas I've had. Overall a stellar night and I would recommend this to anyone. Very, very friendly staff too!

    The Menu, we had for my friends who do not do the BUFFET, May 17th 2014
    Riza H. C.

    We had our MEETUP here. That evening was on Saturday May 17th 2014. I have spoken to one of the Chef, and she is willing to provide BUFFET for us. At $25 per person is DEFINITELY A STEAL DEAL! Chef Enas indeed go ALL WAY out to provide ALOT OF FOOD for us. Some of my friends also opt to order OFF the Menu, in which majority liked what they had. All in all it was a Successful Event. Then why the 4 stars? Actually it is 4.5 stars coz at the beginning, we have to repeatly requesting for water. Its organized chaos. Furthermore, with limited parking space, coz a lot of my friends are UNFAMILIAR with this Neighborhood, let alone location. They are indeed short-handed in terms of Staffs. Even one of the Staffs happened to be one of our Meetup members, in which I found out on this actual day of May 17th 2014. If I am NOT mistaken, during this evening, even the Owner, Venu also helped in the running of this event. The Food everyone like. Its a mixture of both Indian and Jordanian Cuisine, that contains, lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes. By the end of our Feasting Dinner, we are given Mint Tea and some Desserts such as Baklava. We are indeed stuffed! Now to return is definitely, "YES" but it will be awhile. I am hoping they can make the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani as a REGULAR Menu instead as a Monthly, or Seasonally... From there who knows this establishment deserved that 5 stars in our books. Furthermore, I grew up eating Hyderabadi Dum Biryani back in Singapore. I do hope those Hyderabadi Dum Biryani can blow my taste bud to the Max! Thank you Chai & Chai for providing a memorable evening for us, to enjoy. We did enjoyed the FEASTING! Above anything else, we hope and pray for your business undertakings to prosper to many more years to come and to give a fresh take of the cuisine that you offer on Colorado Soil. Thank you. @134/2014

    Chicken tikka masala with dal and fritters

    Chai & Chai = Yum & Yum. Reason enough for prospective med students to consider applying to UC Denver. Excellent lunch combo, bang for buck. Savory orange goo made from aromatic spices and with these contraptions I'd never reproduce in my own kitchen. I really wish I could speak more intelligently about Indian food. This place is definitely up there of all the take out places I've tasted.

    Mansaf was AMAZING! with kibbeh, hummus, babaganoush & some chai!  ^.^ im one happy camper here.

    Flavor was very good but I am giving it two stars for their portion sizes including their bread which was so tiny, it was very ridiculous.

    I get to write about this wonderful Indian restaurant again. What a privilege!!…read more By using the coupon I got when I placed a delivery order for a few items only a week or so ago, my daughter and I got us... -Papadam -Daal Tadka -Steamed Chicken Momo (The code on the coupon discounted our total for 15%; dine-in rate is/was 10%) This was an online order for a pickup so we actually got to go to the store to pick it up. I have been inside it once before but I really didn't remember any of the interior. It's quite roomy with mostly red color. It's pretty clean as well. All the way to the south of the building is where the bar is located. Quite the ambiance for sure. The man behind the counter was very pleasant to me. He was still packing our food so he said it'd be a few minutes. No worries; I wasn't in a hurry or anything!! Once food was meticulously put in a large brown bag, he politely handed it to me with a very meaningful "Thank you!" What a nice gesture that was. The great smell of the food was emitting from the bag; the hearty smell filled the entire car where all we could think of was devouring the food. Once home, we immediately proceeded to the mother/daughter mealtime. -Steamed Chicken Momo: By far the best momo we have ever eaten. Amazing dish with no flaws. We almost fainted as we ate it (ha ha!!) I know this is a bit of an exaggeration but it was that good. -Daal Tadka (mild): I am a big fan of lentil based dishes and this (along with the other lentil based one named Daal Makhani on the menu) is a delightful non-meat option. Daal Makhani does have a noticeable amount of oil used in the dish but this yellow lentil dish is lighter in the oil content. This also mesmerized our palates where we became mute as we took each bite to savor it. Simply amazing. -Papadam: Indian version of tortilla chips is the best way to describe it. They are so light; these are guilty-free side dish to munch on with a sauces of your choice. -Rice Pudding: This was a shocking find. The chef's compliment or whatever it was, the restaurant kindly included this in our bag free of charge. What a nice gesture to appreciate us the customers!! Thank you,Chutney for this kind and lovely gift. 10 out of 10 takeout experience to say the least!

    We visited for the weekend buffet. The food had nice flavor, particularly the curries and naan, and…read morethe service was friendly and attentive. I was super excited to try this location because they had a later than average lunch hours (going til 4pm). Unfortunately, there were several food safety concerns. Many dishes were not properly chilled or warmed and appeared to be sitting out for long periods. Most items were only lukewarm unless they had just been freshly placed. I also noticed a small roach near the sauce area. I did not mention it to staff, as it was in plain sight and appeared to be a juvenile, so I assume they are already aware and possibly addressing the issue. Because of these issues, along with some dirty dishes and glasses, I would not recommend the lunch buffet or plan to return, despite enjoying the flavors and service.

Their namesake sekuwa dishes are phenomenal! Trust me and order the boar sekuwa and ask for a side of chatpate and be in heaven! There wasn't a single thing I ordered that wasn't delicious even the naan was some of the best I've had. The staff is so friendly and happy to explain anything unfamiliar on the menu. You can really tell how much love and passion they have for their food. I enjoyed everything so much I brought my whole family to try and they all loved everything too!

    We chose this place for dinner with friends on the strength of the reviews, and are so pleased to…read morehave discovered a new favorite. The four of us shared, well, too much food in the end, but left very satisfied. We started with an order of momos, and opted for the chicken steamed momos on the owner's recommendation, along with an order of the mustangee aalu, crispy fried potato wedges in a fiery spice blend. The kitchen made an order of the wrong momos, and our server (owner?...he seemed like he might be) brought them to the table on the house. These were delicious, swimming in a spicy sauce that was quite addictive. And those potato wedges? I'll be ordering those on every visit. The rest of the food we'd ordered; tandoori chicken, lamb chops, mixed veggie curry, some naan and the momos we had originally ordered, all hit the table at the same time, and we feasted. The tandoori chicken was some of the best I've had, with a deeply flavorful exterior and a tender, juicy interior. They serve theirs with a sauce that I've not had elsewhere which put this dish over the top. Same for the lamb chops, which were equally succulent and tasty, and which came with another delicious sauce. The only thing I'd pass on next time is the veg curry, which was a little too oily for my taste. No big deal, as there is so much more on this menu that I want to try, and everything else we had was so good that I don't even care. I really like the Nepali influence here, with spices that are slightly different than the Indian spice profile. The restaurant itself is very pleasant and comfortable, and we were made to feel very welcome. Service was exceptional; helpful, informative and appreciative of our appreciation. I'm guessing the only reason there wasn't a line out the door on a Saturday night is because of the amount of other dining choices in the area. This is some of the best Indian/Nepali food I've had in the Denver area, and I'll be returning often.

    While exploring the City Park area with my assistant this Saturday in search of a refined yet…read moreeffortless bite, we happened upon a delightful establishment that immediately caught my eye, The Spice Room. The prominent signage out front set a wonderful tone, and arrival was an absolute dream with effortlessly convenient parking available right outside. Stepping inside, one is instantly enveloped by a wonderfully authentic Indian ambiance that remains remarkably fresh, immaculate, and pristine throughout. The venue is thoughtfully arranged, featuring intimate private seating areas that provide a serene and comfortable atmosphere for a Saturday luncheon. I was also pleased to note their seamless takeout options for those on the move. The service was top-tier from the moment we crossed the threshold. Our waiter greeted us with such genuine warmth and gracious hospitality that we felt treated like cherished family my only slight regret of the afternoon was neglecting to ask for his name, though I shall most certainly make a point to do so on my next visit! To begin, we ordered two cups of traditional Masala Chai, which arrived wonderfully hot, fragrant, and impeccably spiced. For our courses, we selected the Chicken Shahenshah alongside the Lamb Vindaloo, accompanied by white rice. When the feast arrived a brief few minutes later, I was deeply impressed to see the rice beautifully presented in distinct, artistic hue a visually stunning touch! The dishes themselves were an absolute culinary triumph rich, exquisitely layered with flavor, and deeply satisfying. Between the spotless environment, charming aesthetic, sublime cuisine, and stellar hospitality, The Spice Room earns absolute full marks from me. A complete hit I shall most certainly be returning
