The Flaming Grill has a grab bag of flavors.
“We’ve got everything covered,” said Sahansila Karki, who owns the spot with her husband, Gokul Tiwari.
Since opening May 8, their Indian fusion spot has been serving everything from staples like butter chicken masala to pizzas, pastas and salmon dishes. The Flaming Grill, which fills 3,600 square feet in the Spire condo building at 891 14th St., also has an in-house pastry chef who makes tiramisus, tres leches cups and cakes with a South Asian twist.
Karki and Tiwari, who also own several liquor stores across the metro, are Nepal natives who signed a five-year lease in December. The Flaming Grill is across the street from the convention center and was formerly home to Terra, an American concept open from mid-2022 through the fall of 2023.
“We just did some minor touch-ups and repairs,” Karki said of the space.
She and Tiwari came up with the concept alongside Vinni Reddy, who manages the day-to-day of The Flaming Grill. Originally from India, Reddy and came to Denver five years ago to study at the University of Denver, where she received her master’s in health informatics.
The trio met through mutual friends and started planning out the concept over a year ago. Now, they are open from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
So far, Reddy said evenings have been the most popular for The Flaming Grill, which also offers catering. She, Karki and Tiwari hope convention center traffic will be a large part of the customer base, but they see themselves as being a staple for locals too.
“We’re a more experiential restaurant than you just come and have food,” Reddy said. “We have a great ambiance.”
