This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

Visiting from the east coast, my husband and I are both gluten free and love Indian food. The menu clearly states vegan, gluten free, etc. We tried the Spice Room based on reviews online. Our waitress, Sabi, was PHENOMENAL!! The food was nothing short of amazing. Sabi made excellent recommendations and ensured gluten free appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We HIGHLY recommend!!

Food was good. Service was consciously slow. Server declined to take our order when we said we were ready to order, citing not wanting to overwhelm the kitchen. Upon getting out food we wanted to confirm it was gluten free, the server took several minutes to confirm to safety of the food. We had to rely on another customer to get the server's attention. Food was good but not worth the service.Overall, felt like our business wasn't valued.

We will start with food. The bacon was stellar. Got a bacon flight it was delicious. We went here because we read a review that said it was the best gluten free pancake someone had ever had, and that the gluten free options were great. They weren’t and it wasn’t. The pancake was hands down the worst GF pancake I have ever had. It was super dense, pretty sure it had cornmeal in it and it was heavy. They also cross contaminate their fryer. So make sure you don’t get anything fried here. My eggs were overcooked and dry. Service was wonderful, they were just super busy. Our guy was awesome, really nice. And friendly. But I never got a refill on my coffee. Which would have been nice. Hostesses were friendly and full of smiles. Service overall was a highlight. Atmosphere was nice but it was so LOUD. We had to speak with our voices raised pretty much the whole time.

The staff was super fast and really cared about our request for gluten free options of which they had many. The bonus was that they didn’t seem to be annoyed and were really willing to help us which is not always the case. Food was excellent. A little expensive but well worth it for the atmosphere, food and service. I was so amazed by the dinner we ordered, I forgot to take a photo! I’ll take a picture next time, we are definitely coming back!

I am quite shocked at the positive reviews. The ciders were simply not good. They were watery and had a vinegary quality that I did not enjoy. I tried a flight of all the ciders and found them all to be this way. The addition of cherry made for the best tasting one that I had. I didn’t try all the other versions with other flavors but given the weakness of the base I could see trying to add other flavors to make it better. All the positive reviews make me wonder if they had a bad batch and poor quality control. The atmosphere seemed set up for the staff not the customers even though my friend was having a birthday party. They were playing loud grating music though they were willing to turn it down when asked. The customer service seemed like they were doing us a favor by serving us. The chairs were very uncomfortable for any length of time. The food was pretty good but the potato pancake was overcooked and it took about 35 minutes though it did not seem that busy. I’d prefer not to have to walk out to a food truck and then carry in my food on a paper plate. I wanted to love this place as I enjoy cider and can’t drink beer due to gluten sensitivity. But it was simply not an enjoyable experience.

LOVE the gluten free and vegan options! GF bun is really, really good;soft but not crumbly or soggy. I ordered the Vegan Boujee and it was packed full of flavor. Manager and order taker were kind and patient with my questions. Food came out quick. Music kinda loud but I guess that’s the vibe they’re going for. Really cool place and I will return 🤩

It's in a little restaurant type stripmall in a gentrified neighborhood in NW Denver. It's pretty unassuming when you walk in. However, the food, the server, and the owner were all just fantastic. My wife absolutely loves Indian food and we've been to several in the Denver metro area as well as some around the county and this was the best food we've ever had. My wife loves the leftovers so we always get 3 entrees. Her go-to's are always butter chicken and chicken korma. They were as good as any we've ever had. The vegie pakora appetizer was crispy, not at all greasy and just wonderful. My entree was lamb Rogan Josh (which I'd never had before) and it was outstanding! All our items were gluten free and they have a lot of options to choose from. We will go back.

I recently ordered the Green Curry (labeled gluten-free and vegan) and was shocked to find only three tiny pieces of meat, all of which tasted gamey and rubbery. The chicken satay (also advertised as gluten-free) was equally rubbery with an unpleasant aftertaste. Beyond the poor quality, the portion sizes were almost half of what I’m used to getting at other nearby bistros, making the price seem downright absurd. It’s baffling that this restaurant is comfortable sending out food like this. Given the disappointing quality, tiny portions, and lack of value, I would strongly advise staying away. I spent more than 30$ for the worst asian food ive ever had.

By far the one of the best ice cream spots in Denver! Rosies had lots of flavors to choose from, and super friendly staff that let me try as many flavors as I wanted. This is in such a beautiful location, I was able to eat my ice cream and then go take a walk at Sloans Lake. I hope to go there again! Are there gluten-free cones? My cone was delicious, I was just wondering what all the options are. Excited to come back to my new favorite summer spot.

I often get salads here for lunch, since I work nearby. The food is fresh and delicious as well as very filling! They also have great juices, gluten free donuts, and delicious breakfast options. I've not tried their meal planning services, but based on the quality of their menu options I may soon!
