Absolutely incredible. And bonus for me, lots of great vegan options! We had the pani puri, samosas, veg momo (some of the best I’ve ever had), coconut soup (insane), and thenthuk noodle soup (also insane). Will be back to try more ASAP.

I came to Pema for lunch with a few coworkers and we were all so impressed! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish we tried was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The restaurant was spotless and had a welcoming atmosphere. We also received our meals surprisingly fast, which made it a perfect lunch spot. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend!

In my 8 years of eating out in Denver, Pema is up there in my top five. Everything on the menu is outstanding. My favorite right now is the Thenthuk, an incredibly delicious vegetable soup.

New resturant in our block.So tasty we are gonna make this a regular spot. We tried most of the waiter’s suggestion and they were all good. Lamb curry and keema noodles stood out. Pani puri was not to our taste but really interesting to have atleast once to experience the unique wasting style. We came back to finalize our review. Lamb tikka and lamb himalayan curry are both amazing.
