Dear Little India Family,

Well... this is a tough one.😢

After five incredible years in the neighborhood, Little India Highlands will be closing its doors on June 1st.

This weekend will be our final weekend of service.

Five years may not sound like a lifetime, but in restaurant years it's approximately 37 years, 14 emotional support cases of naan, one global pandemic😷, countless staff meetings, and enough Chicken Tikka Masala to keep Denver warm through at least two winters.

We've had first dates, last dates, family celebrations, awkward family celebrations, birthday dinners, engagement dinners, "we're just getting one appetizer" dinners that somehow turned into a full feast, and more takeout orders than we can count.

To our regulars who don't even need menus anymore, thank you.❤️

To the guests who ordered "Indian spicy" after being warned three separate times, thank you.🌶️😂

To everyone who trusted us with dinner plans, celebrations, and those nights when cooking felt like an act of violence, thank you.🙏

You helped make this place special.

Now comes the important part:

We need your help.

The restaurant is closing, and frankly, we are trying to avoid moving a suspicious amount of liquor.

So this weekend we're asking Denver to do what Denver does best:

🍹 Help us drain the bar.🍹

🍹 Order the Tamarind Margarita

🥭 Grab a Mango Mango

🍷 Have a glass of wine

🥃 Order that cocktail you've been thinking about

👯 Bring a friend

👯‍♂️ Bring several friends

Bring that one friend who always says, "I don't really drink" and somehow ends up ordering 4 martinis.

This is not financial advice.

This is community service.

While this chapter is ending, Little India isn't going anywhere. Our other locations will continue serving Denver, including our 24-hour location on 6th Avenue, because the city's relationship with late-night butter chicken remains stronger than ever.

If you've been saying, "We should really go back to Little India sometime," consider this your official notice from the universe.

The clock is ticking.

The bar is full.

The Tandoori ovens are hot.

And we'd love to see you one more time.

Thank you for an unforgettable five years, Highlands.

With love, gratitude, and slightly fewer storage concerns if you help us with the bar,

The Little India Highlands Team ❤️

P.S. Seriously. Help us drain the bar. We believe in you.

P.P.S. If you've ever wanted "just one more basket of garlic naan," this is your moment. 🍛🥂
