"I was craving Indian food during my recent trip to Denver and came across SPICE ROOM. The Thali caught my eye — a traditional platter with rice, potatoes, dal soup and dessert. I got it with Butter Chicken which was so good — creamy, medium spicy, and very aromatic. The street-style chaat was creamy, crunchy and loaded with flavor."

"My husband opted for the lamb tikka masala and I opted for the eggplant (Baingan Bharta) Thali. The dal soup and spiced potatoes that came in the Thali were incredible. My favorite part was the chai — one of the best chais I have had in my life."

"Food was fresh and full flavored. We got Butter Chicken and Lamb Madras, both came with rice. We got medium spice and it wasn't overbearing. The Garlic Cheese Naan was sooo soft! The Mango Lassi was really good, not too sour."
