Tikka masala cheesesteaks, lamb masala fries and more.
Gaia Masala & Burger
opened two months ago in the spot formerly occupied by Illegal Burger. The fast-casual restaurant offers straight-up Indian dishes, a smattering of Mediterranean entrees like falafel and shawarma, and a handful of burgers. But dig deeper into the menu and you'll find the stuff that got us excited: neon-orange tikka masala cheesesteaks ; a burger topped with mint, cucumber and tikka masala sauce; and cheesy masala fries served plain or loaded up with a choice of chicken, lamb or cheesesteak.
The restaurant also offers three different burger variations for both vegetarians and vegans, as well as a vegetarian jackfruit cheesesteak. And you can get most of its Indian entrees made vegan, too. But in addition to wooing plant-based eaters, Gaia is one of the few Denver spots angling for late-night diners.
The Mile High City was a go-to-bed-early town even before COVID took its toll on nightlife, but Gaia's kitchen is open until 2 a.m. daily. Its small bar is currently serving under a temporary liquor license . If you're visiting in person, don't be misled by the lack of a sign: Just make a beeline for the north end of the strip mall and order some cheesy lamb masala fries, stat. Call it Indian-Philly-bar food-all-American fusion.
Little Star Mart is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Denver's Gaia Masala & Burger is open daily from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., and its Boulder store is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
