    Amazing chai and pankora this place is authentic, amazing and you can tell that they cook with love.

    Friendly from start to finish everyone here was working with a smile and putting out great quality food

    Amazing Food!! I've found my new bestie. The food, atmosphere, and service are all A+! They brought out a free chai tea right away. Delicious. I got Tandoori Chicken, which was sooooo good!! I'm surprised by the amount of space inside. The plaza is deceiving from the outside. Perfect for a sit-down meal.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while since it has the word express in it's name. I'm always looking for fast casual restaurants to eat at before work and I can definitely see myself frequenting this eatery a lot. The interior is a nice bright green. The space is not large by any means, but just enough incase it gets busy. One thing I would suggest for the business is to invest in some sun shades. The sun was bursting in the restaurant and it was incredibly hot and bouncing light off the tables and into our faces. Zaika Indian Express has lots of options to choose from and the service is quick and met with a smile. Once I ordered, the food was out no later than five minutes. They may be considered more expensive, but the portions are large enough that I got two meals for the price of one. Chicken Saag is usually my go to and I was not disappointed. It was creamy and the chicken was tender and pulled apart easily. I went with a 1 for spicyness out of 5 and for me it was pretty spicy. Made me question if that was really a 1 or if they messed up. Either way it was still really good. Plus, I got two large pieces of naan which must have been included in the $17 meal. What a steal! I would gladly give Zaika Indian my money any day. This place is awesome!

    After a characteristically long debate about whether I would be responsible for feeding myself dinner, I decided to order some Indian delivery. I went to pull up one of my usual places and realized I hadn't ever had Zaika Indian Express before, and that they would deliver to my address. Given the positive reviews, I took the leap of faith and decided to try something new. I was definitely not disappointed. The delivery arrived in 45 minutes, and the food was still nice and hot. I ordered Lamb Vindaloo, Paneer Makhni, Kale Aur Baingan (like Baingan Bharta but instead of just eggplant, Kale too), and garlic naan. The Vindaloo was tangy and spicy, the makhni nice and creamy. Entrees were very plentiful with meat/paneer. I thought the kale addition to the eggplant was a nice touch to round things out, and it was less oily (but also less silky) than some Baingan I've had before. The garlic naan was some of the best I've had. The leftovers made for several meals (though I was quick to add some additional veg so I didn't feel too guilty--highly recommend trying). The ordering process was excellent! You could specify the heat-level for each dish individually, no matter the type (hot is actually hot). Also, they use ChowNow as an interface, so all of the proceeds went directly to the restaurant. This is a huge plus, as I'm finding myself more and more compelled not to order delivery because of huge delivery site % takes from restaurants. Definitely adding this to the rotation. Great job Zaika!

    New state, new Indian food to try! Unfortunately I picked a bad place to eat. We started off with a mango lassi that was the highlight of this meal. After that it all went downhill from there... the vegetable samosa was a bit dry and heavily dusted with spices. We also ordered chana masala and lamb korma with butter naan. The dishes were both watery and nothing great about the flavors . The naan was horrible, it was dry, salt less and overall just awful! Very disappointed in this place based on all the other good reviews.

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

After a quick search for Indian restaurants in Denver, we came across Sukoon--and we are so glad we did. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet with only a few tables occupied, which made us a bit uncertain at first. However, we were warmly greeted and seated by a gentleman who, I believe, was the owner. His hospitality set a welcoming tone for the evening. We decided to try a variety of appetizers, including samosas, papadi chaat, stuffed mushrooms, gobi Manchurian, and dal soup, as well as shrimp tandoori for our entrée. Every dish was exceptionally well-prepared--beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. Each bite was truly delightful. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but wonder why the restaurant wasn't busier. Sukoon is one of those rare finds you want to see thrive: outstanding food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. When we finished, the owner stopped by to ask if it was our first visit. We told him it was--but certainly not our last. Sukoon is an excellent addition to Denver's dining scene, and I hope more people discover this gem. Highly recommended.

Gave off a strong "I don't want to be here" vibe and was not particularly attentive (and was definitely not busy). We ordered two specials: lamb shank and the fish curry along with cilantro naan. Had really high hopes for both and they fell very flat. For the high price, portions were also a bit sad. The lamb was overcooked to the point of severe dryness and the fish was also overcooked, resulting in an almost rubbery texture. The rice was fine (kinda hard to ruin that) and the naan was also a bit overdone. We didn't order any dessert given the quality of the entrees. I'm really bummed. Indian is my favorite cuisine and I live within walking distance and could easily have become a regular. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

The Nepali chow mein is very flavorful, and they are generous with the meat portion. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and Jamaican goat curry at a 4/5 spice level, which ended up being a bit too spicy for my taste. I think a 3/5 would be perfect next time. Both curries were delicious, and the meats were very tender. The naan is excellent, though the rice was a little on the dry side. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and we'll definitely return soon.

    Gaia Masala & Burger was a great late-night find after a baseball game at Coors Field. One of the…read morebiggest advantages right off the bat: they're open until 3 a.m. We arrived around midnight with a group of five, ranging in age from our early 20s to 60, and even though the restaurant was fairly busy, we had no trouble getting a table. We decided this was the kind of menu that needed to be explored, so we ordered a broad selection and shared everything: the Masala Crusher, beef Philly cheesesteak, paneer pizza, vegan saag, baba ganoush, Philly masala cheese fries, garlic cheese naan, and honey naan. We ordered most things at about a 2 out of 4 spice level, and I would describe that as very mild. Nothing at that level was especially spicy to anyone in our group. The paneer pizza was my personal favorite. I absolutely loved it. The garlic cheese naan was also excellent. Several people at the table thought the saag was amazing, and the masala cheese fries were another big hit. The cheesesteak was probably the lowest on the list for me personally, but it was still good. That really describes the meal well: I had some definite winners and some dishes that were more "also-rans," while other people at the table had different favorites. We also had the baba ganoush, and I forgot to specifically ask for naan with it, so it came with pita. That was probably a little disappointing only because the naan here was so good. The Masala Mule was also very well received. I'm not really a drinker, but I had a sip and picked up a fairly strong grapefruit flavor. The people at our table who were actually drinking it enjoyed it quite a bit. Portions are generous. Very generous. The five of us ordered $103 worth of food before tax and tip, ate until everyone was satisfied, and still left with four boxes of leftovers. Our table was technically set for six, but it was fairly narrow, and once all of the dishes arrived there wasn't much extra room left. The one area where Gaia really did not work for me was the atmosphere. The music was very loud, with a lot of rap playing during our visit, and for me personally it made the meal less enjoyable. The younger members of our group were more comfortable with the vibe, although I wouldn't say everyone was completely into it. The metal chairs also were not especially comfortable. I think this is probably a much better fit for a 20- or 30-something late-night crowd than for someone looking for a relaxed dinner where conversation is part of the experience. That said, the food itself gave us plenty to like. Our group of five was overwhelmingly positive overall, averaging about 4.8 out of 5, so I'm giving Gaia five stars based on the group experience. Full disclosure, though: I was the outlier. Personally, I'd put it at about 4 out of 5. The loud atmosphere, uncomfortable chairs, and the fact that I had some clear favorites and some dishes I probably wouldn't rush to order again kept it from being a five-star experience for me personally. But the rest of the group was more enthusiastic across the board, and with five people trying this many different things and everyone finding something they really enjoyed, Gaia clearly did a lot right. If you're looking for adventurous late-night food in Denver, especially after a game or a night out, Gaia Masala & Burger is absolutely worth a try. And if I go back, the paneer pizza and garlic cheese naan will definitely be on my table again.

A beautiful interior is almost as important to me as the food - but I know this is not the case for everyone. Overall, this is a stand out restaurant worth giving a try.
