Tibet's Restaurant & Bar

321 McCaslin Blvd., Louisville Boulder

303-665-2557

Afghan, Indian, Tibetan, Best Of, Sponsor, Menu

Tibet's is owned by Kami Sherpa and Pasang Sherpa, and related through blood (not money) to another great Tibetan restaurant: Sherpa's Adventurers Restaurant in Boulder. It's staffed by some of Sherpa's former waiters, and Pasang himself works the floor while the cooking is done by chef Uttam Lama, who has major cred: He got his training at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and once cooked for the Dalai Lama. The spacious dining room is lovely and comfortable, with the sounds of Tibetan music and the smells of Tibetan food filling the place.

India House

1514 Blake St. Downtown Denver

303-595-0680

Afghan, Indian, Tibetan, Recommended, Menu

Many of Denver's Indian restaurants seem content to keep to the low end of the food chain; they're little strip-mall spaces where you can get excellent grub, but not necessarily the feeling of being in a fine-dining environment. India House goes in the other direction, offering a truly fine-dining environment with a menu that goes far beyond the traditional saags, kormas and tandoori entrees.
Royal Peacock

5290 Arapahoe Ave. Boulder

303-447-1409

Afghan, Indian, Tibetan, Recommended, Menu

The first thing you notice about the Royal Peacock is the smell: incense and curry, old carpets and fresh cinnamon and ancient tandoor smoke. It's a warm, cloying and sweet smell, and a hint that the Peacock isn't your average strip-mall Indian outpost. The very traditional kitchen offers tastes of India straight out of Goa and Bombay. The curries are smoky-hot, the tandoori meats incredibly tender. The menu has inspired such a fierce loyalty among transplanted Coloradans that the kitchen also does a nice side business shipping out saags and kormas and thalis on ice.
