"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."

"This has been the best Indian food experience in the Denver area. We went there for the first time over the weekend for my birthday. We did not have a reservation but they seated our 4-top with little hesitation."
"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."
"I had the Jalfrezi with chicken and garlic naan. It was delightful to say the least. The heat level was actually "Hot" as well, since most places have zero heat. It was perfect. I'll come back soon."
"This is my FAVORITE Indian food that I've had in Colorado!!! Coming from the east coast where the food was incredible, this spot is definitely a must. The restaurant is so vibey and beautifully decorated. I love that the menu suggests drink pairings for the food."
"The food was AMAZING — the menu is extensive so they have all of your favorites and then some. Our waitress was very helpful sharing ideas. We got Saag Paneer, Jalfrezi with chicken and a few others from the house specialty entrees and really loved it all."
"Went hot on the lamb vindaloo and loved it — very tender. Chicken korma was very good too. Onion kulcha was warm with a touch of oil that made it legit. Solid all around! Large dining area, modern and clean."
"I had Masala Dosa — not every place serves this. It was light and crispy. The filling had spiced mashed potato with onions, tomatoes, and more spices. It came with chutney, sambar, and tomato sauce. I enjoyed every bite!"
"It is really good. The service is very good. The food is really well-made — I have not had anything here that I did not think was well prepared. Conveniently located just two long blocks away from the Bluebird Theater."
"They have so many options of curries to choose from! Each curry comes with rice. The garlic and cheese naan tastes so fresh and soft. Curries are packed with flavor and the perfect take-out meal."
"The flavors were there — the naan was so delicious I could eat it with every meal. I went for medium heat and it was just right. The spinach and cheese cubes were excellent. Definitely one of the better places I've eaten around town in awhile."
