    Tocabe, an American Indian Eatery on concourse A
    Bennett P.

    First time at Tocabe. I have been intending to visit their Denver location. Good comfort food. I wanted a high protein meal before sleeping on my night flight to Iceland. For $22.15, I chose quinoa & wheatberry for the base. I added black beans and shredded bison for proteins and topped the bowl with their green chile and hot tomato salsa. Perfect amounts, not too filling. The shredded bison was great. All the food items are simmering in Dutch oven pots. All clean. No tables nearby. I sat nearby facing the restaurant. I added the yogurt parfait for dessert. It was made with Wojapi, a mix of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. Good crunchy granola. Yummy.

    My latest go to when I'm flying out of A terminal in Denver - Tocabe is a unique restaurant that offers traditional Native American options. Think building a bowl with bison as your protein and hominy as a topping. I feel like it can be healthier than other airport food and is quick service too. If you've got enough time, walk to the end of the terminal and enjoy it plane spotting from the outdoor patio

    My bowl with fry bread
    Cassandra N.

    Walked by and did a double take- definitely not something you see at every airport! I got a bowl with ground beef (I would've strayed but didn't want to risk my stomach on the plane) and lots of veggies, and a fry bread on the side. Service was efficient. The bowl was delicious and super fresh and filling. Would love to try other proteins next time. The fry bread was a little too oily for me but had a nice flavor.

    The Denver International Airport lacks a good selection of food. That is just a known thing and it is not limited to Denver's airport. I was super excited to see that Tocabe opened up a location here because the one in Denver is one of my favorite fast-ish food places to go to. Unfortunately, I did not find this location to be at the same 5 star quality like the original location. The ground bison was flavorless and extremely dry. It was not quite like chewing on sand but close. Not even the sauces could cover the lack of flavor. The other ingredients like beans, hominy, etc were all lacking flavor too. I have quite an appetite and found it difficult to finish the bowl. It does seem like fried bread is good according to other reviews but I did not try it. Add in the inflated airport pricing and it is hard to recommend this place unfortunately.

    Excellent Native American Cuisine stand at the DEN airport - the wojapi berry sauce you can get in a cup or with Greek yogurt and seeds is amazing and very delicious. You can also get bowls with bison beef, corn, rice or quinoa and beans - and the bowls with bison beef are great. Moreover, they have fry bread, powdered fry bread nuggets, chips & salsa, salads and much more - service also very prompt and you order at a counter. Located conveniently in the Denver airport as well, near the hustle and bustle of the crowd stream - and there are plenty of seats nearby. Highly recommended!

    You can't beat this spot for quick grab n go at the airport. The food is nutrient dense and delicious! The dishes were very customizable as it is a Build Your Own Bowl or Burrito place. Tocabe can be tailored for everyone! I've never had NATAM food before. The shredded bison paired with the berries and wild rice with ancho sauce was a perfect mixture of flavors. Note if you order frybread, it is quite large and may take additional time. The Wojabi sauce is not too sweet and very berry tasty. The atmosphere is bright to match the flavors of the cuisine.

    Almost as good as the original location. You have to get the fried bread. They have all the classics but the menu is a little less extensive and frankly less flavorful at the airport location. Prices are little bit on the higher end but hey I'm sure the taxes of The staff could use a little bit of training on customer service and friendliness. Overall I do recommend despite being 30 percent more than the panda it feels good to support a local business.

    Fry bread + cup of green chili--yum!!!
    Wendy G.

    I was stoked to see that frybread is at the heart of Tocabe's menu, which features many options to make frybread tacos topped with veg or proteins such as bison and beef. But I wanted chili, and the server kindly let me sample both the chipotle bison and green chili beef options--both were hearty and yummy, but green chiles always win with me so I got a cup of that plus an a la carte piece of fry bread. Both tasted great, and I was happy to get the chance to try these regional specialties right at the airport. Only improvements are that the chili could have been served warmer and spicier, but I know that the latter is not widely tolerated. Overall, unique, delicious food and good service make Tocabe a recommended spot to try at DEN.

    So awesome to have a quick serve real food option that also caters to vegetarian diets! The fry bread is made fresh upon order. Fresh vegetables, seed mixes, delicious sauce. Friendly service. Eat here in terminal A - just off the center concourse.

    We decided to have lunch here to try the new place. We chose to build our meals. She went with salad and I decided on an Indian taco. Selected the shredded bison as the meat of choice on a bed of salad, chick peas, medium salsa, cheese, sour cream, beans. I believe I had ancho chipotle too. I left it up to the expertise of the servers who were helpful and recommended best choices. Clean and neat serving station. Picked water to drink. Only bottled choices. It was tasty. Full of flavor and a slight spice level. Maybe I'll try the fry bread nuggets next. Sounds intriguing.

    if you have an hour in denver airport, you should definitely come over to terminal A and try this amazing indigenous food. i stopped into denver with a 3 hour layover at the end of my holiday trip and was in the domestic terminal C. i looked around at the mcdonald's, starbucks, and chic fil a and was like please does this airport have more options. i looked at the map and saw that terminal A has international flights so i was like there's gotta be something better. so im wandering through terminal C and saw bison on the menu and was like omg in an airport yes!!! it was gloomy that day and i was cold so i went with the bison chipotle chili with fry bread. the service was kind and swift, they offer cheese and sour cream on the soup, the sour cream i took. the fry bread was amazing, reminds me of a palestinian bread called taboon if it were fried instead of on a clay oven. the chipotle was there but not overpowering. the ground bison meat was delicious, tastes like a leaner beef and absorbed seasoning well. i went to the second level of the airport and found a bunch of staff sitting on the carpeted floor taking their breaks and sat there so i could eat it without making a mess. and soaked up all the bottom with the fry bread. would so try the bowls next time and get the chili again. i was not hungry until i got home hours later. if you get a cup of the soup its half the size and it's half the price of the bowl so they price it accurately no psychological markups. but the bowl and bread was worth the $16.

    Picked up a shredded bison taco and the powdered sugar nuggets. 10000/10 it was so yummy!! Did not taste like "airport food". The service was great too, super friendly and quick. Will definitely be back!

I first stumbled upon Coriander about a year ago. It is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever come across. The Chicken Tikka Masala is very good and flavorful, but the lamb masala and lamb curry are crazy good. Then there is the garlic naan... IT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Light, buttery, crispy, thin but still somehow fluffy AND chewy. Their food is so good that I asked to eat inside instead of taking my to go order. Even though it was Sunday afternoon on Mother's Day they were extremely accommodating. The interior is great; solid playlist, nice atmosphere. If there is any takeaway from my review it's that you should stop looking and try them out ASAP. I may start to plan my trips around them, out of 75-100 Indian restaurants so far this is probably #1

The service was okay. It met our minimum expectation. But, the worst part of our experience was being automatically charged a "Large Party" charge of 20%. We had a party of 4 adults and a 3-yr old. Most restaurants charge a "Large Party" charge when the party is 6 people or more. The tipping culture has gotten so out-of-hand now. People who "just do their" job are wanting/expecting 20% or more tip??? Because of this, we're not returning to Coriander.

All pointing to an excellent experience. The timing was right for my husband and I to come for a Sunday lunch. The service was fast and friendly.

The dal soup and spiced potatoes that came in the Thali were incredible. My favorite part was the chai though. I cannot drink milk and the alternative was oat milk.

The Thali caught my eye as it's essentially a traditional platter with a variety of balanced small plates from rice to potatoes to dal soup and even dessert all on a single tray. I got it with Butter Chicken which was so good! Highly recommend as it was creamy, medium spicy, and very aromatic. I absolutely loved the street-style chaat! It's creamy, crunchy, cold, and loaded with flavors and textures. Such a satisfying bite and I almost couldn't stop until it was gone. I love that this Thali came with both rice & naan as I usually want both and can't decide lol! The rice was fluffy and aromatic from the cumin while the garlic naan was fresh, soft, and delicately brushed with garlic & parsley. I didn't care for the dal soup (bit too watery) or the jeera potatoes (bit undercooked) but the dessert was a nice way to end the meal. Their options included rice pudding and gulab jamun; I went with the "healthier" option lol. It was creamy, sweet, and cooled down my palate after the various dishes. The Lamb Biryani was another good try! The lamb chunks were tender and seasoned, the rice was aromatic, and it paired well with the onions and raita (yogurt sauce). This definitely satisfied my craving and I'm glad I stopped by before the long day I had ahead!

This place was packed but we manage to be able to snag a table during rush hour. The thing that I find strange is that they were selling mango lasso drinks kept in a cooler refrigerator display and some other items you can purchase. I wish they would just have that part of the buffet. There seems to be a lot of them and people weren't buying those items because they already paid $$ for the buffet. Do I recommend this place? Yes!

I will say they heavily push the buffet, making it seem that ordering off the menu will take up to 45 minutes. However, we saw those who ordered from the menu get their food in half that time. Great ambiance, although a little hectic through the buffet!
