If spicy curry is your thing, look no further than India Tavern. Darshan Singh, the former owner of LoDo’s India House, opened this restaurant near the Tech Center almost two years ago and spiced up the offerings with phaal, the Mile High City’s hottest curry. Put in an order and you’ll have to acknowledge a verbal disclaimer that relieves the restaurant of liability for any physical or emotional repercussions. If that’s not Indian cuisine at its boldest, we don’t know what is. Can’t stand the heat? Fear not: The less-fiery tikka masala is tasty as well. 5062 S. Syracuse St., 720-287-5211, indiatavern.com
