Karma Kitchen

I accidentally ordered from this restaurant but was so happily surprised! They have the best garlic cheese naan in town, by far the cheesiest and most flavorful. I also got their chicken korma which was divine. I’ve never had to pick what the korma is braised in before and what a kick! I googled what they’re normally made of it and the internet said yogurt, so I went with it. So flavorful, so delicious, so creamy, so filling! And it was still hot when I drove all the way out to fruita and home (I which takes about 50 minutes, so that’s saying something). I would most definitely recommend!

We stopped here on the way back to Colorado. We arrived when they were very busy, but the short wait was worth it. Both the chicken biriyani and chicken curry were delicious and the portions were generous enough to take home for another meal.

It was so delicious, best Indian food we’ve had in a long time! We called ahead as we were driving there and they had a table set for our hungry family and fired up the naan on arrival. Everything was hot and delicious and they were so kind! Would recommend!

Excellent food and service! Really appreciated them helping navigate food restrictions on the menu and being so willing to accommodate! We loved each dish we tried - the food was well made, good quality and full of flavor. We had a great experience and are so happy we have another “go to” restaurant in Fruita

It's one thing to be charging high prices if the service, atmosphere, and food make it feel worth it. That's not what it's like to eat at Karma Kitchen.. The biggest thing is that they're exceptionally rude to us. Doubly so if we use doordash to order pick up with them. The food quality is also highly variable. Most recently, we found our food smelled and tasted bad, the "boneless" chicken had bones and joints, and the food was overall bland and flavorless. I really do want to like this a lot more than I do. I've had good food from them once before but have ultimately been disappointed on the other several times I've ordered from them for one reason or another. Unfortunately, our family is choosing not to support this restaurant moving forward

Most incredible masala I've ever eaten! I would drink it if they let me. Lots of variety on the menu, not just the staples you'd typically expect. This place is worth traveling out of your way for. I was in town for one night and will certainly return hungry.

My 1/1 experience says this place is overhyped. Service was lackluster, food was underwhelming, nothing special. But maybe in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. So don’t skip it if you don’t find a better option. Vegans have good choice. Had the soup, though I might order something different because it was salty and made me feel very full. All least there were veggies. Ordered onion bhaji but unfortunately that never came to the table. We were not given silverware for soup or momos and had to ask for it. Momos and samoas were very tasty and would order again. Not a terrible place, I was was expecting more given rating >4.5 stars.

Told me the food would be ready in an hour, sat there for 2 tonight. Did nothing to make it right, or talk to me. We loved this place, but won’t be returning, and will be telling everyone we know.

The service was fast and efficient and the food was full of flavor. I sat on the patio facing the Main Street. A festival was going on one block away so I had the added benefit of live music. The ambience inside was nice with spacious booths and plenty of good-looking Indian decor. Bonus: they had one of the nicest public restrooms I've ever seen in a restaurant.

I had the lamb and noodle Nepalese dish at a heat of number 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 it was absolutely fabulous! Putting this on my radar to come again every time I'm in town!

This is a little gem of a restaurant in the small community of Fruita, CO. Karma Kitchen's food is outstanding; it can compete with the best higher-end restaurants in big cities. I love ethnic food and frequently eat at several Indian, Korean, and Asian restaurants in other states. The food at Karma's can compete successfully with big, high-end restaurants that cater to this type of food. The menu offers a variety of choices, as well as vegan dishes. The food was hot, fresh, well-seasoned, and priced at the lower end of comparative places. The service was prompt, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the room was soundproof, so conversations could be had. The dining room and other facilities were spotlessly clean, with pleasant and comfortable chairs. All in all, I highly recommend Karma's Kitchen in Fruita, Colorado

My husband and I love Indian cuisine and decided to order the Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Tikka Saag curries from Karma Kitchen to go for dinner. The food was wrapped impeccably for car transportation and we were really looking forward to our meal, however, it was unfortunately very bland tasting overall. The curries were cooked well, but did not give me a lasting impression from a flavor standpoint. The Garlic Naan was okay.

Really great experience and food! I like the saag paneer. My husband and I ordered the sampler and everything was great! We will be back!

If you're in Grand Junction, Colorado, or planning a visit, Karma Kitchen is an absolute must! This was my first experience with Nepalese cuisine, and it completely exceeded my expectations--every bite was a revelation for my taste buds. My husband and I flew in from Hawaii to watch our son play football at CMU during Homecoming, and Karma Kitchen was the perfect choice to celebrate. Normally, I snap photos of everything I order at restaurants, but this time, the food vanished as soon as it hit the table--it was that good! Here's what we enjoyed... We kicked off with the Samosa, a crispy, golden turnover filled with seasoned potatoes, vegetables, and spices. It came with a sweet tamarind sauce and a mild chili sauce that perfectly balanced the flavors. Next up were the chicken noodles--our favorite! The noodles had a texture similar to udon but were clearly pasta, mixed with carrots, other fresh veggies, and tender shreds of roasted chicken. The Chicken Tikka Korma was a standout too, with a rich, creamy sauce that reminded me of Thai curry, thanks to the coconut milk base. I savored every bite, especially over a bed of fragrant Basmati rice. Just when I thought I couldn't eat more, the Chicken Tandoori arrived, sizzling on a cast iron platter. It was perfectly roasted, sweet, and marinated in aromatic spices, served with bell peppers, red onions, cilantro, and tomatoes. The garlic cheese naan was beyond addictive, baked in one of those traditional open ovens where the bread is seared against the wall for that perfect crispy texture. We also tried the Chili Chicken and Tadka Daal (lentil soup), and even my picky-eater son couldn't get enough. His review? "Omg, this is soooo good!" By the end, we were completely stuffed, but we made room for dessert: Mango and Pistachio Kulfi. The texture was lighter than traditional ice cream, almost like a frozen puree. The mango tasted like fresh, ripe fruit, and the pistachio kulfi, as my husband put it, was simply "mean!" (his way of saying delicious). The restaurant has an open, welcoming vibe, complete with a bar. It was buzzing with both dine-in customers and takeout orders. We even tried a Nepalese beer for the first time, and the decorative bottles were so unique that I took them home to use as vases for my garden flowers. We'll definitely be back in May for my son's graduation, and you can bet we'll be celebrating at Karma Kitchen--and yes, this time I'll take photos!

Authentic Indian, just what we were looking for and expected. Garlic naan (lots of garlic and loved the cilantro), saag with cheese nicely complemented lamb Jalfrezi. Ate every bite and cleaned the bowls with the naan. Service was sober but gracious and helpful. The space felt classic and comfortable. It was pleasant enough to consider eating outside, but preferred to be amongst the other guests and the aromas. I nice treat in an otherwise uncreative culinary town.

my first time here and i can't wait to come back ! tried two dishes (a chicken one and a vegetarian/eggplant one) and both were delicious ! there was only one other party there with us but service was fast and friendly. we also got a chai and it was delicious. the naan is a little crispier than i'd like but still tasty. the price is comparable to namaste and gurus. they also give you a good amount of rice to share for the table.

Wow this place is great! We had a very large group and the service was speedy and good. I tried the cheese naan bread and it was fabulous. It's one large piece cut into four slices. You could probably split one with someone. I also ordered the tikka chicken karma with a level 5 spice and I thought that was the best of all the dishes we ordered. My kids ordered the butter chicken and they loved that as well. Check this place out!

Wow what a treat. Fantastic Local Indian cuisine. Loved the chicken mo mo and chicken korma. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. Lived here for five years and this was my first visit. Definitely highly recommend.

Ordered Mulligatawny soup and garlic naan for takeout. The soup was pretty tasteless, and the garlic naan had too much garlic but no salt.

Delicious! A phenomenal vegetarian menu plus all the other meat dishes. Had vegetable korma with rice and added garlic naan. It is among the best I have ever eaten! I am eager to return and try the Himalayan noodles!

The Indian food was amazing, excellent service, and quiet ambiance. I highly recommend this fine dining in downtown Fruita.

After looking at the reviews, I am surprised that this place has been so amazing for so many people. I was craving Indian, and this restaurant was super convenient. However, I was surprised at how bland the food was at this restaurant. The chicken seemed like an old thigh that had been cooked a few days ago and was reheated and cut into small strips. I found several large piece of fat attached to the thin pieces of meat. The waitress brought me my naan, and pronounced it nann like Ann. It seemed like a pretty popular place while we were there . May have to try some of their other dishes in the hopes they might have a little more flavor.

The food is outstanding! The service is great, you feel like they truly you came in to their restaurant. And it's a cute decor makes it all tie together perfectly. This is a must try

I called in a take-out order on the phone. The representative told me my order would be ready in 20 minutes. I was there to pick up the order in 20 minutes. I sat there for an additional 25 minutes before my order was ready. I would've had more empathy if the restaurant was busy. There were people at two tables while I waited for my order. I told the manager about my extended wait time, thinking he might want to offer a discount on the meal for the long wait..he did not. The one order was made of thighs and drumsticks. My wife wouldn't eat it. Once was enough

We arrived just before 6pm on a Friday night, so we understood that they would likely be having a rush and were prepared to wait a little longer, which was fine. We started out with the fried onion appetizer and, of course, the garlic naan. The onions were good, but the naan was the star. For entrees we had the Mango Chicken and Chicken Tikka Saag, both were flavorful and tender. We're looking forward to returning and sampling more items on the menu. Very reasonably priced too.

Our whole table shared an array of different dishes from this restaurant and everything was very good. The service was terrific and I would definitely visit again.

We ordered the goat curry, chicken biryani with a side if samosa. The samosa was the worst but the other two dishes was pretty tasty! I am quite surprised! The location was in a cute downtown area and the service was a-ok, but I did not expect much and it exceeded my expectations.

While visiting from the Central Coast of California, we were craving some good Indian food and came upon Karma Kitchen after a Yelp search. Well, the reviews weren't wrong, what a fantastic place. Very neat and clean with nice booths and tables. After perusing the extensive menu, we ordered our favorites, which included Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb Saag, Chicken Kawab, which is like Chicken Tikka, and a dish we haven't had before, Lamb Noodles, which was incredible. We added Garlic Naan and a side of their green mint sauce. The staff, which appeared to be all family, was friendly and attentive during our entire visit. We have enjoyed Indian food for many years in many locations, and this is one of the best by far. The only disappointment is that we live 900 miles away, but we'll be back !!

Very good food ! The tandoori wings were the best - highly recommend. Everything seemed very fresh . A little background music would have been nice .... It was a slow Tuesday evening and no music made it to where you could hear other conversations as if you were sitting at their table . We will definitely be back !

Food is spectacular here! We had the vegetable korma and Chana masala and both dishes were so tasty!

I love their Saag Paneer! I eaten Indian food as much and as many different restaurants I can. India is both large geographically and population so the recipe variance in similar named dishes within India vary greatly region to region. I hear sometimes people refer to it as North and South Indian food. This place does it well but I would recommend making sure the buffet is full at all times and watch for trays that run out. Besides that, great food.

Awesome food. Incredible service. Great background music too. The ambiance is amazing. Would come again soon. Namaste

I don't know how Fruita got so lucky to have the most amazing restaurant. Even our tween asks for Karma Kitchen for his birthday dinner. We love the noodles and the vindaloo! I dream about this food!

Great Service!!! Food was amazing!! If you don't go eat here, what are you doing? Go get you some yummy food!

My wife and I ate here for the first time. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The waitstaff was very welcoming and also very helpful in suggesting what to try We had the Karma's combo platter appetizer and the Karma's sampler for entree to share. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We arrived hungry and left completely satisfied I would absolutely recommend this restaurant if you are in Fruita. We will definitely be going back

We e eaten here twice now this week, the food is rich and flavorful....perfect amount of spice. The meat (lamb and chicken) were both fall apart tender. I love the atmosphere and authenticity inside, service was courteous and attentive. Highly recommend!

My chicken bhuteko and strawberry lassi (think along the lines of strawberry milkshake) were simply amazing! Compliments to the chef! The food was so good, I wish these guys were located in Seattle so I could come back any time I crave superior food.

We almost always get food to go but once in awhile dine in. Both experiences are delightful. The food is hot and fresh and the portions are more than enough. Very friendly staff.

Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The alu gobi, chicken curry, naan, and samosas were all fabulous. Cannot recommend enough if you're in the area!

Very delicious! The cheese naan was incredible as well as the dumplings! The chicken curry was pretty good. Excited to go back and try more! Also got the chai tea which was delicious!

The last review I noted on this website was by someone who went in and got a hamburger. He raved about it and I'm sure it was worth it. But if you're ordering a hamburger at Karma Kitchen you're missing the boat. I go there at least once every two weeks if not more often and I always order a different Himalayan selection off the menu. Now I have multiple favorites. I love this place! Food is excellent and the atmosphere is so friendly and colorful. You just have to try it. L Taylor

Had Chicken Tikka Masala, Daal soup and garlic naan. Top notch!. Will ask for some added heat on the side to kick it up another notch next time

Every new dish I have tried has been delicious. I like the waitress that brings me my food. She always has good recommendations.

They have a wonderful lunch special. You choose between dal soup or green salad and then your choice of two items that are served with flavorful basmati rice.

Favorite restaurant in Fruita 10/10!!! The chicken tandoori is crazy good

After a long day of traveling and experiencing colorful colorado my family decided to fuel up here at karma kitchen. i ordered an iced chai and it was out in a few seconds. the food was AMAZING we shared some curries with rice and it was wonderful. very chill place that felt very home-y... might just have to move to fruita!!

I got the lamb noodles and they were excellent! Lamb was cooked well and the flavors all worked well together.

Kinda pricey, but so is all the other restaurants around. Great flavor, but only 4stars because the portion sizes of the curry is small in comparison to other Indian restaurants.

This is a hoppin new place that recently opened! I was excited to come across Karma Kitchen driving back to the Front Range. Instead of the usual pizza pitstop, we had delicious, hunger satisfying, warming the soul plate(s) of happiness. We all started with a cup of the homemade chai tea which was perfect to escape the cold outside. Then came the garlic cheesy naan which is to live for! Between the different entrees, you can't go wrong. I really appreciated the presentation of the entrees in what appeared to be delicate and decorated silver bowls.

Wow! Amazing dishes. Welcome to Fruita, Karma Kitchen! We've been waiting too long for something other than pizza, burgers and Mexican! Opening night our meals were wonderful. That's an accomplishment because the place was packed. The fifteen minute pile of checks to be tendered at the register didn't matter one bit. The prevailing mood was joy. Our bill arrived with another diner's credit card attached. No problem. This is Fruita. People are honest. Anyway, we've dined here once a week since their opening. I recommend navigating the menu with a group and sampling each other's dish if you're unfamiliar with Nepalese cuisine. We've found our go-to entres and appetizers. You will too. It's such a pleasure to dine here.

I got the butter chicken and some nann, the food was delicious and the service was even better! I always eat here when I come to Fruita! Indian is my favorite and this place is amazing!!

This is some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The Napali chicken chili was great. Great selection of dishes. I'll return the next time I'm in town.

Really good food and a nice location, small portions sizes for the price.

A rare find. Ordered Chicken Bhuteko and it was very flavorful and yet delicate. Will come again for sure!

Good Indian food, but get spices on the side if you're not a fan. Very filling, so don't over order.

My husband and I have eaten at Karma Kitchen twice in the last 6 months. It is Indian Food that also has some foods from other surrounding areas of India. The first time we went we had the Karma Sampler which we split. It has several different types of Indian food. We were able to get an idea of what foods we liked best from it. It had a chicken curry, lamb curry, saag paneer, somosa, and other items. All were good, though we did enjoy some of the options more than others. We went again last night. I had been craving the Saag Paneer since we had the Karma Sampler a few months ago. I ordered it and my husband ordered the Chicken Chili. He didn't know what to expect. Both were excellent. The Chicken Chili was not any thing like an American Chili. He really liked the flavor of it. I did too. It could have been spicier for him but he likes really spicy foods. I found it very flavorful and not too spicy for me. The Saag Paneer was excellent. It satisfied my craving for it (at least for a few days). They served rice with cumin seasoning in it with the dishes. Both times we have gone it has been very empty and we have gone in the middle of the week both times. The atmosphere is nice, the people are very attentive, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend trying this restaurant in downtown Fruita.

This new restaurant has been open but a week. We arrived at 6 on Friday night and were lucky to get a table. Service was super friendly, but it was clear they were under some pressure from having a full house. It took some time for our food, but it was worth the wait. Everything was delicious, and prepared perfectly. I expect the kitchen to get up to speed and wait times to drop. If the quality of the food is maintained, we will be frequent customers. It's great to see they are this busy, and great to have another option in town. If you are impatient, wait a while while they work out the kinks.
