Cherry Creek Harbor

This place was great, had the smothered catfish absolutely delicious. The staff was very accommodating and the cook «Sydney» one word Wow. Sydney is amazing. I’ll definitely go back and try something else on the menu.

Ordered red beans and rice entrée for takeout. Side options were cole slaw, cornbread or home fries and I chose home fries. Got about a pint of red beans and rice and the «home fries» were French fries. What a rip off for $ 13.

Very sultry place to go on a romantic date. This little hideaway is tucked in the corner of a shopping center & the décor is comfortable & elegant. Though we just had cocktails, the menu is quite unique in that they serve Indian & New Orleans cuisine. A must try!

Bayou burger is awesome! It’s cooked perfectly and the service is fast. Last time I came here it was a small bar that held concerts. So to see the changes that they made were amazing. It looked very nice and the server was friendly

Such an amazing place. So unique. Food was great. Drink the Happy Buddha. Owners and staff are cool!

What a delightful surprise to find a restaurant in a strip mall with such lovely ambiance. Nice dining music. Enjoyed paneer masala on the recommendation of our very attentive, very personable server Beckham (a delightfully professional server in every sense of the word). My date enjoyed jerk chicken and raved about the flavors. The cornbread is very dense and sweet. But the Bayou Fries rocked our world. We’ll be back.

Friendly service, beautiful décor, and the food was good. Not bad for a place my hubs just happened to think of. I had the smothered catfish. Was a blackened catfish smothered with shrimp etouffe… He had the masala… For dessert we had the mango ice cream, and the goat cheese balls in cardamom and saffron syrup… I am a HUGE fan of Indian food, and grew up on Cajun food… Pretty darn good… My only gripe would be that they didn’t have palak paneer. My fave of all time. We’ll be bringing friends next time.

the concept of having two restaurants under the same roof? definitely didn’t fly on my visit for lunch buffet recently.
cons: most of the food was gone and they didn’t refill. option was very limited. get there early when you have more food.
pros: good service, very huge area for big groups.
it will be awhile before my next visit.

My family and I love Cherry Creek Harbor! The garlic naan is soft and delicious, the tandoori chicken and tikka masala are savory (and you can tailor the amount of heat), and the Indian margaritas had great taste and a special kick. On my last visit, I ordered the chicken vindaloo, hot, and it was packed with both flavor and heat; simply phenomenal. And to top it off, we came on a day where all proceeds went to the earthquake victims in Nepal. It felt wonderful to enjoy good food in support of a good cause.

This is a little hidden in the corner of the shopping center. Beautiful décor! This place was a surprise. It is a very nice restaurant. I had the vegetable Korma and garlic naan bread. It was very tasty and I will come back for sure. Service was wonderful!

It looks very nice inside. Never thought it would look like this from the outside. The Shrimp and Grits are DELICIOUS

I have now been here twice. Last week i ordered the crawfish boil and this week I went Indian. Tikka Masala, Curry with MahiMahi, saag paneer and of course naan. It was amazing. I was a little suspect of two totally different cuisines being housed in the same restaurant but wow they are both a hit. I will definitely be back.

This place is a contradiction in the purest sense. You want Indian food, you order from an Indian restaurant right? You want Cajun, you order from one of the (very rare here in Colorado) Cajun restaurants right?
So I see this place on grubhub and say to myself «Lets give it a try. I am in the mood for Indian and Cajun and want enough for leftovers tomorrow.»
And you know what? I was not disappointed. I am not sure who thought up the mixed ethnicity concept, and I don’t know who is in the kitchen (I will go in and say hi some day) but it works. And it works well. I love this place and I am very picky about food.
So here I am with a fully belly giving them a thumbs up right afterwards because they deserve it.

Service is friendly and if a little slow, it’s because they are making your food fresh.
If you want fast food go in the 7 – 11 in the same complex.
The Nepalese/​Indian dishes are packed with flavor — you choose the level of heat you want.
This day I had Korma, mild, lip-​smacking good.
Naan was extraordinary, hot & fresh.
Fried plate, Cajun catfish & shrimp was very good, crust flavorful & light.
Banana pudding was ok, Kheer (rice pudding) very good.
The FISHBOWL drink was flavorful and packed a wallop for $ 8.33.
Will return…

This place is a restaurant when it isn’t rented out for private events. Absolutely fabulous food! Nice dining room with soft background music and quiet acoustics so it’s easy to carry on a conversation. We were there at 6pm on a Wednesday and it was not crowded. Perfect amount of attention from the wait staff. Our new favorite restaurant! We loved Bayou Fries, Tomato Soup, Smothered Catfish, Baigan Bharta.

Food is amazing, staff is beyond welcoming. Indian has a bit of a different flavor with the nepalese background, but the best I’ve had in denver. If you like cajun, it’s always spot on. The two flavors actually blend really well. Restaurant is clean family or date friendly and beautifully appointed. The bread and butter comes from events which they do well too.

I visited this restaurant last sunday after church. I’d have to say that the food was great although it seemed to take a while for the food to be brought to us. The ambiance was quite nice and it looks like it could be a real nice party at night as there was a stage that looked like it was band ready.
I will try this again but I hope the service delivery time are better.

We love CRH for mainly two reasons. One, the ambiance is impressive. One would never guess such a nice place could be found tucked away in a shopping center. Secondly, we crave many of the menu items when we haven’t visited for a while. The Indian food is incredibly good. As for the Cajun menu, their catfish is amazing. It is so worth visiting and trying!

Two great tastes, that taste great together. No, in this case, I’m not mimicking an old candy commercial — I’m instead waxing about the joint Indian/​Nepalese and Cajun/​Creole stylings of Cherry Creek Harbor in Aurora.
«Wait, they have *what* kind of food there?» I hear you ask. Well, here’s the explanation. Do you remember how, a while back, there was a stripmall near Smoky Hill & Buckley that had restaurants called Kathmandu Kitchen and Bayou Snack Shack (sometimes also known as Bayou Café)? It turns out that the owners of these two establishments are very good friends, and when they both had to leave their old spaces, they decided to pool their resources and invest in the exact same spot at Quincy/​Parker. And boy, have they gussied it up! Gushing waterfalls, glittery sconces, muted lighting — it’s classy. In fact, it’s become a hotbed for local R&B/soul/jazz performances, and even the occasional fashion show or two. But let’s backtrack a bit and discuss the food in more detail.
Possible starters from the South Asian side include the springy veggie or chicken dumplings called Momo or the creamy cheese nuggets known as Paneer Pakora. Meanwhile, more Bayou-​style beginnings can be had with a cup of chicken/​sausage or seafood gumbo, or even some chicken wings with their secret-​recipe «Crazy Cajun» sauce. But that’s just a small sampling of what you’ll find. Why, you could try some creamy seasonal-​vegetable curry (Navrattan Korma) or the Chicken Jwano which gets its particular oomph from the exotic seed sometimes referred to as carom or ajwain. Or, you can always laissez les bons temps rouler with some smoky red beans and rice, or a hearty oyster po’boy. And don’t forget to save room for a little Kheer (rice pudding) or even the fresh-​fried donut cousins called beignets.

I still love the indian food here, but the problems with the wait staff and communication in the kitchen is growing very tiresome. The only wait staff member who seems to know the menu and knows how to provide good service is the young white guy behind the bar (I got his name, but am drawing a blank on it right now). We’ve gone a few times with friends and have CONSISTENTLY had service issues. I’m thinking that in the future, we’ll order the food as take out and host our friends at home, where we can provide better service. The owners are super nice, and I get that they are trying to train new staff… but how long do you hold onto people who just aren’t getting it (and are giving attitude to your customers to boot?!?).

TIME: 13:30hrs ish
If I am NOT mistaken, this establishment has the Same Owners as the Bayou Snack Shack and Kathmandu Kitchen.
YES, this establishment featured 2 Cuisines — Indian and Cajun.
YES, this establishment is BIG aka HUGE to hold LARGE Parties, EVENTS what nots.
From the MENU we opt to have the following items :
* Tandoori Assorted ($ 15.00)
* Lamb Vindaloo ($ 15.00)
* Lamb Biryani ($ 15.00)
* Garlic Naan ($ 3.00)
* Coffee ($ 2.08)
* Masala Tea ($ 3.01)
Yes they offer Complimentary Papadum with 2 dipping sauces. This item arrive at our table about 13:35hrs ish.
The food did take awhile to be ready despite we are the only patrons there until mid way during dining then another party of 3 guests arrived at this establishment. At 13:50hrs ish, our Appetizer of Tandoori Assorted is being served to our table. Then followed by my order of Lamb Biryani and Hubs order of Lamb Vindaloo at 14:00hrs ish.
But does the food deliver for our taste bud. BIG NO! BIG Mistake to dine in to begin with. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT INDEED!
Furthermore they overcharged on certain items which is by the way, I should have taken the picture of the Menu, in which I did not. *SIGH* Hence what reflects on the receipt DOES NOT TALLY with what is in the Menu Pricing.
The Masala Chai Tea tasted more like Tea with Condensed Milk. NO FLAVOR of Masala Chai at all.
They tend to «skimp» on certain items…
In my entire life, I NEVER had Lamb Biryani that is filled with VEGETABLES instead of lamb pieces in the Biryani itself. Perhaps to make the Biryani more «filling» or to make the PORTIONS look Big, this establishment tends to filled it up with Vegetables instead. When our staff strike the conversations with us, I mentioned this issue about the Biryani. He mentioned that it was another Staff cooking this dish etc. Err for one, where is the consistency if you want me to return. No flavor at all, so bland…
In terms of spicy, NOT SPICY at all. But they offer SPICY Sauce at a side on a separate small plate/​bowl, which apparently is more like HOT SAUCE to boot! *DOUBLE SIGH*
This recent visit was on Sunday December 21^st 2014. NEVER TO RETURN, in which both Hubs and I agree. My apologies for this rant and this 2 STARS Generous Review.
Left this establishment MAJORLY Disappointed with our Lunch at 14:45hrs ish. *BIG SIGH INDEED* & *SAD FACE INDEED*
This establishment is open during the following hours :
* (LUNCH) — 11 am to 2:30 pm
* (HAPPY HOUR) — 3 pm to 5 pm
* (DINNER) — 5:30 pm to 9 pm

Amazing! Love everything about this place. I have never had better service. The Tikka masala is too good. I also love the seafood gumbo: it’s perfect, but the Bayou Fries make my mouth water the most. Great place to relax and try something different than what is normally around.

This is more of an event venue for large private parties than a restaurant to stop into.
The menu is half cajun, half Indian food strangely enough. I had only cajun items which were okay. The shrimp etoufee was probably the best item and really spicy… almost reminiscent of an Indian curry. All the seafood was frozen for a while and you can tell by the texture. I know they can’t help that because crawfish isn’t in season and the turnover doesn’t seem high enough here.
Beignets were really dense and slightly undercooked which is not like an authentic beignet.
Service was good because we were the only party eating there. The only others were there for a group dance lesson near the stage. I’m glad they were there otherwise it’d be even more quiet. Beautiful space though.

Went for brunch. What a great find! We decided on Chicken Tikka Masala, Sagg Panner, BBQ Po Boy and Gumbo. All the dishes where flavorful and tasty.
The combination of Indian and Cajun made a great eclectic mix. There are 2 Chefs in back.
They pulled it off with flying colors.
I will be back soon.
Thanks

Charming cuisine at Cherry Creek!
Located in a strip mall, don’t let your first impression fool you, Cherry Creek Harbor Restaurant is quite a gem, tucked away in Aurora and waiting to be discovered. The interior is straight out of a 1920’s Supper Club. The art deco grey and white decorations are flawless and beautiful. There is a large stage in the back and a separate dining room for parties. There is a long and stunning bar in the center right of the restaurant. (Reminiscent of the grand ballroom bar in Kubrick’s The Shining). The room is huge, but they had the forethought to carpet it, so it still feels intimate and your conversation doesn’t carry, nor do you hear the click clack of a hundred feet.
My date and I both ordered from the Cajun menu (there is also an India menu). Not authentic? Poppycock! I lived in Knoxville for several years and drove to New Orleans once a year for a foodie vacation. This meal brought back those memories. Perhaps a server might not have known the vocabulary, but the chef certainly does. Now, if only I can get them to make a muffuletta, I’ll be in Heaven.
My date, also a foodie, ordered the catfish and we were both extremely impressed. The breading was perfect, light and crispy, and the fish was snow white (not grey) and cooked perfectly! The accompanying rémoulade was so spectacular he ordered more.
I ordered the shrimp and grits, pure upscale comfort food and a complete delight. I cleaned my plate (on a date!).
The prices are completely reasonable for the delightful experience. You get what you pay for here. Our server was very attentive and eager to please. One of the owners, Mark, stopped by our table to chat and check on us. I am extremely impressed with both the food and service. Highly recommend!
