About Our Food

Our Commitment to Quality

From sourcing the finest ingredients to honoring traditional recipes, discover the care and passion behind every SPICE ROOM dish.

If you have a food allergy or specific dietary requirement, please inform your server or contact us by phone or online before placing your order. Our kitchen uses common allergens, including milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. While we take great care to accommodate dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that any dish will be completely free of gluten or other allergens. We are happy to provide detailed ingredient information to help you make an informed choice.

— SPICE ROOM Management

We believe that a dish's quality relies on its ingredients, and the best ingredients typically come from local sources. That's why we prioritize collaborating with local farmers and suppliers whenever possible. This commitment to quality enhances our customers' dining experiences. Every day, we make multiple decisions regarding our meals, and each food choice involves ethical and environmental considerations. Interestingly, making positive food choices that benefit our land, communities, environment, mind, and body also turns out to be delicious and satisfying.

The SPICE ROOM is a renowned Indian restaurant located in Arvada and Denver, Colorado. We offer a variety of dishes that showcase India's rich culinary traditions, all crafted to order with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. We are committed to providing you with an outstanding dining experience every time you visit. Our friendly and attentive staff are always ready to offer personalized recommendations based on your tastes. While we do not offer a buffet, we take pride in our freshly prepared lunch and dinner specials, ensuring each dish is made to perfection.

"Our delicious food is made from scratch using premium ingredients. You can taste the difference."

At SPICE ROOM, we are dedicated to using only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients in our offerings. We roast and grind our own spice blends and prepare all our chutneys and sauces in-house. This practice allows us to maintain strict control over the quality of our ingredients, ensuring that our products are consistently fresh and flavorful. We source as much all-natural, hormone-free, vegetarian-fed, antibiotic-free, free-range chicken as possible. Our responsibly raised chicken is sourced from local companies, and we include halal meats in our dishes. Every day, we prioritize sourcing local and organic ingredients whenever possible. Our cooking oils include non-GMO rice bran oil, olive oil, and ghee (clarified butter), and we do not use MSG in any of our cooking.

The used oil is recycled into locally produced and consumed biodiesel. We package our to-go orders in environmentally friendly recycled paper containers, most of which are compostable. We also used to offer reusable plastic to-go containers for our takeout meals in partnership with companies like DeliverZero. We hope to offer similar services in the future.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to enhancing these practices. Your support enables us to do even better in the future!
