The Baidwan and Malhotra families have been in Colorado for more than 20 years, and in 1998 they came together in their love for cooking to open Little India. Since that time, the two families have been serving Denver its most authentic fine Indian cuisine in a restaurant that has quickly become an area favorite. After all, 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 eleven years. The sense of authenticity is undeniably evident in Little India's atmosphere, where Indian art and music accent the casual dining. Then there's the food: the chefs who began their careers in Northern India, use only the freshest meats and ingredients and are known for mixing their own signature curry. A friendly, charming staff rounds out the dining experience at Little India - an experience that mingles exotic and simple tastes to unforgettable effect.
My family and I love Little India. Our personal favorites: Chicken Tikka Masala with an order of Onion Kulcha. - Adam Itchkawich

For a true Colorado dining experience, The Fort is well worth the drive 20 miles southwest of Downtown Denver. In 1959, the Fort's founder, the late Sam Arnold, purchased property close to Red Rocks Park with the intention of building a family home. What emerged was an adobe-brick replica of Bent's Fort that became one of Colorado's most famous restaurants. Known for Western delicacies, such as Elk Chops and roasted buffalo and its lively atmosphere, The Fort offers a generous portion of Colorado sights, character and food.

The Palm is regarded as the place where Downtown's elite go to "power lunch." Despite its status as a New York-based steakhouse, Denverites regard The Palm as its own. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. But when in Denver, it's best to consume mouthwatering steak at every available opportunity.

Honored as by Denver publications as one of Denver's best places to eat, Panzano is a great venue for a relaxed power lunch. The eatery's Italian cuisine is typically heavy on meat and fresh herbs and light on garlic and tomato sauce. A characteristic dish is Tonna Tartare, ahi tuna with avocado, white truffle oil, aged balsamic vinegar and crostini. Those with a heartier appetite might appreciate the Agnello Griglia, grilled lamb T-bones with rosemary, mint and red wine. The lighthearted mood of Panzano's staff and clientele might entice even the most reserved lunchtime colleagues to order a glass of wine.
