We had our rehearsal dinner at Indian Bites II in Lyons and it was perfect! The food is incredible, and the service was wonderful. We are so grateful for their flexibility and support as we planned our special night with them.

Indian Bites is hands down, no questions asked the best restaurant in town!! I have never been disappointed by anything here! The staff is kind, friendly, helpful! The restaurant is quaint and nicely decorated. Convenient location for locals or for those passing through. Ample free parking in the area. They also have a new Estes Park location! I usually order on the vegetarian menu, but my partner has enjoyed anything he has gotten as well (usually lamb). The Malai Kofta is a brilliant blend of spices and flavors! The Mattar Paneer is like a symphony of exquisite flavors! I have had a lot of Indian food, and may not be an expert, but I know this is top quality food!

Afternoon lunch treat was extra special at Indian Bites ll. I knew right when I walked in that this was the place. Bright colors, healthy people and the aroma of time earned perfecting the craft of fine cuisine. The staff greeted me with gratitude and love which made me feel welcomed and ready to have a great meal. After ordering, I received my first cup of chai tea that was fresh and as tasteful as the peaceful ambiance in the restaurant. The chicken tikka masala was the creamiest tomato curry spice that made each bite better than the last. I soothed my hunger with native flute music by legendary musicians and had the most nourishing food experience in Lyons. So good and good for you. I could tell this is how it is suppose to be. Thank you. Can’t wait to return.

Outstanding food and wonderful hospitality

Indian Bites was an absolute highlight of our time in Lyons. The food was excellent—rich flavors, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was fantastic.

What made the experience even more special was the great conversation with the owner. You can really feel the pride and passion behind the restaurant, and that hospitality carries through to the entire dining experience.

We’re in town for our son’s wedding, and Indian Bites was chosen as the location for our rehearsal dinner. It couldn’t have been a better choice. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or local—this place is a gem.

I’ve been a regular at Indian Bites Restaurant & Bar in Lyons, Colorado, and it’s always a wonderful experience. The food is consistently delicious—curries, tandoori, biryani, and vegetarian dishes are all full of authentic flavor. Their imported and local beer, and wine selection complements the meals perfectly, making the bar just as impressive as the kitchen.

The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel welcoming and comfortable. Whether dining in or picking up takeout, the service is prompt and professional.
What truly sets Indian Bites apart is their music selection, which is always on point. From jazz, classical, Indian classical, funk, folk, handpan, to world music and evergreen classics, their beautiful collection perfectly matches the weather and atmosphere, creating a unique and immersive dining and bar experience.

For anyone on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park or Estes Park, Indian Bites is a perfect stop to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine and drinks before heading into the mountains. This is truly a must-visit spot in Lyons for both locals and travelers alike.

Overall, Indian Bites offers not just incredible food but a chic restaurant and bar experience in Northern Colorado. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine and drinks near Lyons, Boulder County, and the Front Range. *****
