India's Castle Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Greenwood Village

If you're in Denver and craving authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine, you have to check this spot out. I went all out at this place in my last trip to Denver, and let me tell you, every single dish was a winner.

Vegetarian dish: Paalak Paneer!

Their paalak paneer was beyond excellent. The spinach was perfectly pureed, vibrant green, and tasted incredibly fresh – none of that overly creamy, bland stuff you sometimes find. The paneer itself was melt-in-your-mouth soft and perfectly absorbed the flavors of the rich, subtly spiced spinach gravy. It was comforting, earthy, and truly a masterclass in this classic dish. Seriously, if you're a paalak paneer fan, you need to give it a try.

Meat dish: Goat Curry!

Now, I'm a big fan of goat curry, and this restaurant absolutely nailed it. The goat was incredibly tender, falling off the bone with barely any effort. The curry itself was a symphony of spices – aromatic, complex, and just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting without overwhelming the palate. You could taste the depth of flavor that comes from slow cooking, and it was just pure, unadulterated comfort in a bowl. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good, hearty meat curry.

Accoutrements: Garlic Naan, Papad, Raita, and Chutney!

The Garlic Naan was phenomenal. Freshly baked, piping hot, with those beautiful blistered spots, and perfectly infused with garlic. It was fluffy yet chewy, and the ideal vehicle for scooping up every last drop of that delicious curry and paalak paneer.

The Papad was exactly what you want – thin, crispy, and lightly spiced, providing that satisfying crunch and a nice textural contrast to the richer dishes.

The Raita was cool, creamy, and subtly tangy, providing a perfect counterpoint to the spice. And the Chutney selection – a mix of sweet and savory – added those little bursts of flavor that really complete the experience. They clearly make their chutneys in-house, and it makes all the difference.

Dessert: Rice Pudding!

It was the perfect sweet ending. It was creamy, rich, and beautifully fragrant with cardamom, and just the right amount of sweetness. It felt like a warm, comforting hug in a bowl – a truly satisfying and authentic way to finish off an incredible meal.

Overall Impression:

India's Castle Restaurant and Bar truly delivered a royal feast every time I visited them. Every dish was prepared with care and packed with authentic flavors. The quality of ingredients shines through, and you can tell there's a real passion for traditional Indian cooking here. The service was also excellent, attentive but not intrusive, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience.

If you're looking for fantastic paalak paneer, a deeply flavorful goat curry, and all the perfect trimmings, then this restaurant is your spot....

MOST HORRIBLE customer service on the face of the earth! The owners are down right RUDE.

I and my friend visited the restaurant today evening around 5 pm. We were greeted by a waiter, who seated us. The restaurant was almost empty, with just one table occupied by two customers. We ordered 2 cups of tea and two starters - a plate of veg samosa and a plate of chicken pakora. After a few minutes, the owner came and asked us about our order and we said we have already told our order to other waiter. He still insisted that we tell him the order and we obliged. On listening to our order, he said, "Come on now, order some more. Order for the main course". The tone was downright condescending! I was taken aback for a moment. I expect people to be polite to me, especially in a restaurant, where I am the customer. I politely responded, "Sir, that is our order. For now, we are good with what we have ordered". The owner said "How can you come to the restaurant for just this order?". I was again startled by his words, but I calmly answered "Its a snowy day and we are in a mood for some pakoras, samosas and hot tea and hence thought of visiting your restaurant". The owner said "No, you cannot be here for just this order!". I asked him, " Is there a problem?" ( i clearly knew by this time that he had definitely had a problem with our order or us, but I wanted hime to explicitly agree that he has a problem ). He said "Yes! For this order you cannot occupy a table". I looked around, the restaurant had just one other table occupied and if I can't have a table to eat at a restaurant, for me, that does not qualify as a restaurant!. I said "If that is the case, I won't have anything at your restaurant!" and left.

I would not recommend this restaurant to any one! (not even to my worst enemy!) I would have preferred to give -5 stars, but yelp does not have that option. So, I would settle for 1 star.

Recommendation for those who want to have Indian food near this place: If you want to have Indian food, there are other restaurants with much much better customer service and good food. You may want to try "New India Cafe", which would be less than 2 minutes drive from this restaurant. For Indian-Punjabi food, you may also try India Clay Oven in Lone tree, which would be 8-10 minutes drive from this place. Khazaana, another better restaurant, is also 8-10 minutes drive from this place. (Khazaana and India Clay Oven are near to each other).

I hope this review saves someone from experiencing the HORRIBLE...
