India’s Harvest

I wish I cloud give then 0 star but I can’t. This is the worse grocery and Indian food I ever tried.
The owner of this place do not know how to take care of their customer. He said that their food is the best in city I think he don’t know that there is the other Indians restaurant in town. They have lack of service and the food. I will not recommended this place for anyone.

This place is so disgusting And the owner is so rude with costumer I will not Recommended this place for other people. Most of their worker are not even clean. this place it so dirty and most of their materials are expired but still they sells. Their service to costumer was the worse service ever. worker and owner is so rude I never will come to this place again. If there is 0 star I might give them that but three is not 0 star that why I give them 1 star. I talk to the owner to the way he talk omg he was so rude to me and I think that what he do to other too.

Best place to have Indian snacks! I was a bit reluctant to eat there when I went there for the first time as I was concerned about the hygiene. But food was fresh and everything tasted really good. And I never fell ill after eating from this place (phew!)They must do something about the ambience though! If they can’t afford to invest a lot they should atleast make sure that people feel like sitting there by making sure that the place is clean and looks a bit better than it is right now.

best indian food in denver… grocery…not always fresh… owner talks a lot… Gujju Sirji… pls take it easy

Used to be good. Today had a horrible experience. Tried to order a small to go order but the person at the counter refused to take it because it was 25 mins before close. Very rude.
Wow.never going again.

Really like their chat items… very tasty and pretty cheap. For $ 12, had samosa chat and plain dosa, which will cost $ 20 in other Indian restaurant in denver area.

Excellent place for Indian Chaat around Denver. The service could be a little better given that it is inside a grocery store. Do try Sabudana Vada and Pav Bhaji Dosa.

I’ve eaten Indian food for 45 years, including during 6 – 7 trips to India over the years. I can also cook a pretty good, if limited, menu myself, although I would never admit to being able to open an Indian restaurant. I’ve eaten at a dozen or more Indian restaurants in the Denver area, and have found them all lacking, either in taste, aroma, or both. Some are also quite expensive.
If you’re looking for absolutely authentic VEGETARIAN Indian food in the area, stay away from the restaurants and stop in at this little Indian grocery store. There are a few tables in the back where you can eat freshly prepared food that measures up to the best family cooking I’ve ever eaten… as good as my mother-in-law’s! Don’t look for a buffet that keeps food warm for hours. Instead, have «dhaba» type food at India’s Harvest. Try the Delhi Chaat and the Chhole Batura, which are my favorites, but you’ll find tasty food no matter what you order.
This place is great, and the people who work there are friendly and welcoming. I don’t understand how anyone could review this place and make negative comments about the staff because I’ve eaten there perhaps 25 times and they are always friendly. Perhaps that reviewer caught them on an exceptionally busy day, or maybe that reviewer simply believes he/​she needs special executive treatment!

This place is horrible customer service wise. They are so rude and ignorant. Its not worth your self respect.

If you are used to frequenting Indian grocery stores in Denver area, you are probably also used to the thick skinned, rude and downright condescending attitudes of their owners/​staffs. Think Bombay Bazaar, Masala (just yards away on the other side of the complex). After all they are the great people who provide us our daily bread (kinda).
Well thankfully, this one is a welcome change. The staff is friendly, selection is huge, prices are competitive and in many cases also better than Bombay Bazaar. Their Café with awesome chaat is cherry on the cake.
That said, this being another desi establishment, service is not their forte. At least not yet. While the staff is well meaning and friendly; often not very efficient. More apparent in the Café where even an order queue of 2 – 3 tables could mean a wait of 20 – 30 mins. My suggestion would be to order at the Café — shop — when your order is ready, eat — shop :)
Overall, I recommend them, definitely over Masala and Bombay Bazaar and would be a regular for near future.

My wife and I moved out from California a year and a half ago. We had only heard of Bombay Bazaar and were stuck with it. Then we heard about India’s Harvest and their amazing chaat.
This is hands down the best place in denver if you’re craving chole bhaturey, papri chaat, samosa chaat, or any other chaat you can think of. Prices are also very reasonable (MUCH more so than masalaa next door). Not only that the aunty that makes the food makes it absolutely perfect. I highly recommend the papri chaat – they put some annar (pomegranate) in it which adds to the awesome flavor.
Definitely plan on returning every week!

Love this place for Indian groceries and in house indian fast food kitchen serving awesome Indian food.
The owner us very polite and nice.
Great indian food options and grocery choices.
Place looks a little worn down though.

Did you ever had pani-​puri /​chaat on a road side bandi in India? If yes, then you shouldn’t find the place messy at all:) Besides the ambiance, the snacks taste really good. All the dosas, chaats n thalis are really tasty and served hot. My personal favorite is samosa — super crispy n tasty. I can just stop by for samosas.
Pros: Low prices, tasty food.
Cons: Not good for big groups

One of the biggest Indian grocery stores I visited in Denver. Mostly all the Indian grocery items are available. They have a min restaurant inside the store. They have a limited menu and not like one in the restaurant. Try out the Dosa at this place. I ordered masala Dosa, to my surprise I found no curry (smashed potato curry) inside it and they gave it separately in a bowl. The food is fresh and piping hot. I also tried the south indian thali on the other day and the food is delicious.
If you purchase the items from the store and you will get a discount on the food which you order.

Amazing food and the store owner is just too friendly.
I have tried lot of places where they have the food stalls inside the store and they suck — But this place is a gem and and the food tastes just right
Try the dosa’s — the perfect taste
Even the chaat items are too good

I have been going to Indias harvest for about 2 years. Lots of variety of food and we love the Vijaya brand chapattis that are far better than the pervasive Rotiland brand. I usually run into my colleagues from work since the prices are cheaper then Bombay Bazaar. The owner always helps me if i cannot find something and promises to stock things quickly. The chaat café is also another great reason to shop there. Food is delicious and comes out fresh and piping hot. The one time they gave me someone elses order accidentally, they let me order again for free. Service is prompt and courteous. I see other reviews where people sometimes get expired food. Let me tell you expired indian foodstuffs occur in every grocery store so stop blaming store owners for being rude. you should do a better job of checking expiry dates before you walk out the door.
The only down side of this store is the lack of available parking. however its not the owners fault. The bar next door seems to have patrons at all times of the day and they usually hang around near the door smoking and littering the place.

It is unbelievable how many Indian shops/​restaurents we have in these couple of blocks. Bombay Grocery, Masaala, Star of India, Anandh Bazaar and India’s harvest. I have actually found a shortcut (shorter than already!) for getting from India’s Harvest to Bombay Grocery. Just travel for a minute on E Dartmouth from Indias Harvest. If you look to your left, you will see the backside of the dive bar near Bombay Grocery. There is a entrance to the parking lot there.
Why i like India’s Harvest?
1. They stock the Rotiland chapatis which work well with my limited cooking skills. (I have found that Costco also has’em!)
2. They stock some vegetables which are good quality, if i am lazy to drive to H Mart.
3. The mini-​restaurent inside. The dosas and Chana Bhaturas they serve are pretty good. Yummy!
One problem:
If your bill is below a certain limit, they don’t accept cards. I understand why many local small shops have this problem, but still an annoyance.

The restaurant is now being run by new folks and now is now
. The place is now super clean. I agree, it had been going seriously downhill. But the family just couldn’t cope with running the shop and raising their new kids and all.
Just tried the fare this weekend. The Delhi Chaat is slightly different than the former version but still delish. The menu is much more extensive and impressive.
We’ll be frequenting it, as we once did.

In a grid liberally dotted with purveyors of South Asian food items (Bombay Bazaar, Masalaa, Ananda Bazaar, Star of India, oh wow!), India’s Harvest stands out as a fascinating example of multitasking at work.
Yes, there is the expected array of digestive biscuits, henna dye, prepackaged veggie meals, Pakistani Rooh-​Afza herbal syrup and, er, psyllium husk (for those less-​than-​regular interludes).
But tucked at the back of the shop is something more. Yes, you guessed it — a chaat-​wallah.
Don’t tell me to wash my mouth out with Clorox! Chaat-​wallah is the Hindi term for a snack vendor, and the charming husband-​and-​wife proprietors of India’s Harvest ensure that hungry shoppers can be satiated by a tableaux of all-​vegetarian offerings. (And if you spend at least $ 15 in the store itself, you get a discount in the canteen! Neat, huh?)
For a change of pace, feast on Sabudana Vada (pearly sago grains lovingly formed into cutlets, then fresh-​fried). Or a Samosa Chaat — an enormous potato pastry liberally drenched in tamarind chutney, coriander chutney and sundry other delights. And verily, the Ragda Pattice (fried pea patties awash in a memorable Masala) has its admirers too, yours truly among them.
But these are just a few of the items that will entice you. Truly, the snackbar at India’s Harvest will give you blessings without the bloat.

After having been a loyal patron for years, my family has decided to take their business elsewhere. Although they boast a fair array of imported foods and have a chaat café, the service is horrendous (think rude, patronizing staff that project their issues onto other people), and the café is filthy. A dhaba on the side of a street in India is cleaner than this place. I feel bad for the folks who don’t know that there are other options in Aurora where you can shop — a great example is Anand Bazaar, just down the street on Parker and Dartmouth. We’ll see you there!
