Boulder
Gurkhas serves up authentic home-style Indian fare, some of the best in town. Think buttered and honeyed naan, creamy tikka masala, tender, fresh coconut fish, and special veggie curries. The bummer is that it's way out in the Gunbarrel neighborhood, in the bowels of the tech parks and warehouses. Bottom line: if you've got a car, it's worth a trip.
Near Avery Brewing Company and Celestial Seasonings, this makes for a good post-tour lunch spot.
