Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro | Our Story

Spices, craft, and the story behind every plate

Durbar means Royal Palace in Nepali — and that name has carried a promise since the very first meal we served in Loveland, Colorado. This is the story of the spices, the craft, and the family behind every plate.
The name behind the door

The name behind the door

In Nepali, “Durbar” means Royal Palace — and from the beginning, that word set the standard for how every guest would be received. Not as a customer, but as someone worth feeding with intention and care.
The craft in every spice

The craft in every spice

Herbs and spices are sourced directly from Nepal and India, then ground in-house to release their full depth — a practice that separates a memorable curry from an ordinary one. A dedicated tandoor chef tends the clay oven daily, coaxing smoky perfection that only comes from years of discipline.
Two cuisines, one table

Two cuisines, one table

The menu honors both traditions without compromise. Pillowy momos sit alongside fragrant biryanis, and a vindaloo spiced to order shares the page with Himalayan chowmein — each dish authentic on its own terms.
From Loveland to the Rockies

What started as a single bistro in Loveland has grown into four locations across Colorado and Wyoming — bringing South Asian cuisine to mountain towns where it was once nearly impossible to find.

The owner visits every table, greets regulars by name, and is always ready to talk about the food. This restaurant has always felt more like an extension of home — Namaste, we're glad you're here.
