Little India Restaurant & Bar Downing

The Little India Restaurant & Bar was established in 1998 and since that time has been voted ‘Best Indian Restaurant’ and ‘Best Lunch Buffet’ for 16 consecutive years! This unparalleled success led to the opening of an additional restaurant and the birth of a Denver legend.

The Baidwan family has been in Colorado for more than 20 years, and in 1998 decided to open Little India because of their love of cooking. Since then, they have been serving Denver the most authentic fine Indian cuisine and have quickly become an area favorite. The Chefs began their careers in Northern India and use only the freshest meats and ingredients. A friendly, charming staff rounds out the dining experience at Little India-an experience that combines exotic and simple tastes for an unforgettable effect. The sense of authenticity is undeniably evident in Little India’s atmosphere, where Indian art and music accent the casual dining rooms. There’s a reason Little India has been named “Best Indian Restaurant” and “Best Lunch Buffet” by local critics and Denver patrons for the past sixteen years.

We have succeeded remarkably in bringing the true flavors of India to the masses of Denver, while still remaining true to the family recipes handed down generations. Our spices are imported exclusively from India and slow roasted in house to make all our spice blends and marinades. We don’t just bake our breads- our naans are prepared in a custom-made Indian tandoor or clay oven. These tandoors lend an authentic flavor, that is difficult if not impossible to reproduce in conventional ovens.

Others can only make claims but we have actually brought a little piece of India to the heart of Denver! So, join us soon for an experience that mingles exotic and simple tastes to unforgettable effects.
