Really awesome Indian food. I only order from the menu here and do not recommend the buffet (however my friends do enjoy their buffet). They have an awesome curry and a terrific vindaloo. Their spice levels are very traditional - keep this in mind if you order hot.

This place is very cool. Yak & Yeti is the only Tibetan / Indian / Nepali restaurant, I have visited, that is also a brewpub. They brew about 10 different beers on site and cover a wide range of beer types. Their food is pretty damn tasty, too. I really recommend the Vindaloo and the Chili Mo-Mo (if you like spicy dishes). Be careful if you order anything above HOT spice level.

I just relocated from Downtown Denver (where I lived for the last 10 years) to Arvada. If you have any questions or need recommendations please feel free to ask. You can travel to downtown via driving (20 minutes), train (from Olde Town 20 minutes), uber/lyft and RTD buses (best to check the RTD App or Google Maps for this info).

The place to go for beer drinkers. Or drinkers in general. Lots of breweries, two cideries, a winery or two. A distillery and a Sake Bar. Many many restaurants, little shops and a random smattering of "graffiti" on the buildings and in alley ways. This neighborhood was my home for the last 10 years - I have watched it change from a crime infested area to one of the wealthiest and most gentrified neighborhoods in Denver. Rino sits next to Coors Field, where the Colorado Rockies (baseball) team has their games.

They make a great cup of coffee - if you get a steamed drink, ask them to take it easy with the steam or else you will have to wait 15 minutes to drink your cup. They really love their steam.

Drinking
Elevated is the only seltzery that I know of (think White Claw). They brew their own seltzers on site, dry to sweet, and usually have about 8 different seltzers on tap. If you are on a diet this may be the perfect, refreshing, alcohol drink for you - 100 calories per serving.
