About Indian Food in Auraria Campus

The Auraria Campus hosts three institutions — Metropolitan State University of Denver, the University of Colorado Denver, and the Community College of Denver — serving over 40,000 students in the heart of the city. Our Highlands location on 38th Ave is 6-10 minutes north, and the campus community has embraced our authentic Indian cuisine.

Student budgets align with our generous portions and reasonable prices — a plate of butter chicken and garlic naan provides genuine value. Study group dinners, club celebrations, and department events all bring Auraria students to SPICE ROOM. We offer a student discount with valid campus ID.

Faculty and staff from all three institutions order lunch delivery and catering for department events. The Tivoli Student Union's food court has competition, but students seeking authentic Indian food beyond the campus make the short trip to our restaurant. We've catered Auraria campus events, student organization celebrations, and graduation dinners for all three schools.
