About Indian Food in Highlands

The Highlands is home — our West 38th Ave location sits right in the heart of this beloved Denver neighborhood. From Tennyson Street's independent shops to Highlands Square's restaurants, this community has embraced SPICE ROOM as their own since day one.

Walking to dinner at SPICE ROOM is a Highlands lifestyle ritual. Neighbors on Irving Street, Federal Boulevard, and the blocks around 38th Avenue pop in for weeknight dinners, weekend celebrations, and lazy Sunday takeout. We know many of our Highlands regulars by name and by their usual orders.

The Highlands' independent spirit — supporting local businesses over chains — perfectly aligns with our mission. Tennyson Street gallery owners, Berkeley Park families, and West Highland dog-walkers all contribute to our community feel. We've catered events at the Highlands Masonic Lodge, neighborhood block parties on every street from Osceola to Irving, and holiday celebrations throughout the neighborhood. Highlands Square's restaurant row keeps us competitive and inspired, pushing us to maintain the authentic quality that earned us this neighborhood's trust. From Sloan's Lake sunsets to Highlands farmer's market mornings, SPICE ROOM is woven into the fabric of this community. We're not just in the Highlands — we're part of it.
