Excellent spot for authentic delicious Indian dishes. We sampled 5 different entrees, samosas, and naan and all was great. Rajan's help with awesome service made the experience a good one for my family. Definitely recommend.

This has become my go-to lunch spot during the week. Good for smaller groups. Parking available (unlike the RiNo area). The food is awesome - both sweet and savory items. And great drink options with so many different kinds of mimosas to chose from.

Definitely coming back here once it’s warmer outside. The service was amazing and attentive. The catfish bites were the star for me. I’m loving the music at this venue too. I knew a lot of the artists played and not a lot of people know of them since it’s alternative r&b. The date I had was perfect and we both plan on coming back with friends. This is great place to take someone that has dimmed lighting upstairs so it’s not overwhelmingly bright. Thankful that you guys exist and cultivated a space that’s welcoming, low-key, and feels good to be in.

I loved the ambience, the appetizer, main meal of ribeye steak with mash potatoes and carrots, and the peach bread pudding!!!!! My husband and I were celebrating our 35th anniversary. It was outstanding. The service was spectacular, but my favorite part of the entire evening was meeting and talking with the chef. He was incredible. He shared how he had just been married and after our meal, he brought his wife to meet us. I shared with them both how marriage is an adventure and is so worth the ups and downs. This was our favorite place to dine in Snowmass. Your restaurant represents class, top notch service, excellent food and authenticity!!! Thank you SOOOO much!!

I would love to recommend Hard Rock Cafe Denver, if they weren't closing at the end of this month. Always a great time, and good food! Such a shame that this was the last time for us! Hope you open somewhere else in Denver soon!

Overall our experience at Studio was fun and different. The atmosphere was unique and Josh our server was fun to talk to, he did however charge us for an additional drink we didn't order. Some food menu options were better than others but overall the food was very unique and yummy. We'd recommend this place to others.
