3. Find The Crown Jewel Of India
At the risk of sounding incredibly cliché, Jewel of India is a Westminster gem. You’ll start off with a basket of fresh naan that is nothing short of warm, fluffy bliss that will make you forget there’s a menu full of more amazing food to order because you’ll be busy ordering seconds.
Once you make your way past the bread and onto the main courses, you’ll find yourself choosing between Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Lamb Vindaloo, all of which are consistently good enough to have you planning your next visit before you even clear your plate. And anyone with a sweet tooth is going to want to save some room for something off of the massive dessert menu.

But the donuts and other baked goods at LaMars are so good, you’ll never accept any other donut substitutes as long as you’re in Westminster. The shelves full of amazing flavors and varieties of everyone’s favorite baked-good might seem a little overwhelming at first, but you don’t have to worry because everything you order here will be awesome.

8. Find Food That Will Have You Snarfing … And That’s A Good Thing
A snarf might sound like a noise you make after you eat something that you don’t particularly enjoy. But Snarf’s sandwiches never considers themselves one of the crowd anyway. The bread alone is enough to to blow your mind—but obviously that’s not the main reason to try this place.
With Snarf’s always waiting for your visit, locals and out-of-towners alike flock here to keep themselves running strong throughout the day with options like the corned beef with hot peppers and the prime rib. It is a great to find some of the most unique restaurants in all of Westminster while also maintaining everyone’s favorite foods.

One part seafood mixed with one part Caribbean flare equals the awesome concoction that is Mig Ma & Little Lu’s Seafood. The Caribbean flavors really ramp up the flavor of the fish here, with the shrimp extra spicy and the red snapper even snappier.
Order up the calamari to start, too, which is some of the best in the city. And you can feel free to bring the kids to Big Ma’s, since their menu accommodates the little eaters in all of our lives who aren’t quite ready for all that spice.

It is on the pricier side of this list, but when you have it in the budget to splurge, then you’ll agree that it’s definitely worth it.
Pair your steak with savory sides like the French onion soup and a big glass of red wine off of the extensive menu. If you’re not in the mood for beef, you can still find some really amazing dishes including the lobster, haricot vert, and grasshoppers. Don’t knock it ‘til you try it!

Afghan Kabob’s offers the option of an Indian buffet lunch for under $10 and is a pretty remarkable deal, considering how much tasty food you get. But the best reason to come here is ordering the kabob platters off of the menu.
With a variety of different meats, seasoned to perfection and melt in your mouth, you’ll quickly wonder if you have any room left over for the sides. But definitely leave some, because they’re just as good, too. And the house made hummus will knock your chickpea-loving socks off.

If you’ve never tried a kimchee fried rice ball, then get to Dae Gee’s and put an end to that as soon as possible. The unique combination of Korean staples is a fun and delicious way to mix up your weekly menu.
But the AYCE barbecue is the shining star at Dae Gee. Your server will bring out a variety of meats for you, everything from tender chicken to savory beef bulgogi and everything in between. If you like it spicy, then you’ll love the spicy pork bulgogi. On a weekend night, you can get the unlimited barbecue for under $20. On the weeknights, it’s even less.

14. Visit Sushi Heaven At Hana Matsuri
Hana Matsuri doesn’t just have the best sushi in Westminster. Some would argue that they have some of the best sushi in all of Colorado. It’s a claim that sushi joints tend to abuse as much as coffee shops do, but make a visit and decide for yourself just how much is true and how much is hyperbole. Here’s a hint: it’s all true.
The sushi dinner allows you to mix and match their huge variety of unique rolls. The Mexican Roll and Crispy Spicy Tuna Roll are two of the most popular on the menu, but whatever your preference, you’ll think that you died and went to sushi heaven.
