Longmont Indian Kitchen

Where Craft Becomes Comfort, and Every Dish Holds a Memory

Longmont Indian Kitchen is the signature expression of Chef Sheel Joshi, an award winning, Michelin recognized chef whose career has been defined by mastery, curiosity, and heart. For more than three decades, he has shaped a culinary style that blends the depth of Indian flavors with the finesse of European technique. The result is a modern Indian kitchen rooted in heritage and elevated by craft.

Before bringing his vision to Colorado, Sheel built a loyal following in Los Angeles and Houston, where his restaurants became known for thoughtful cooking and genuine hospitality. His work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle, Houstonia Magazine, and on the Food Network. Across every city and every accolade, his purpose remained the same: create food that feels personal, and spaces that feel like home.

Sheel has opened and led four successful restaurants, guiding large teams, designing menus that told stories, and shaping dining rooms into places where people connected. Over time, his journey led him toward something more focused and more intimate — a restaurant that reflects his roots, his craft, and his belief that food is a bridge between people.

Longmont Indian Kitchen is that vision brought to life.

Here, Sheel cooks with intention. With memory. With gratitude. Every dish is built on the flavors that shaped him: the vibrant markets of his childhood, the fast‑paced kitchens of Los Angeles, and the bold, diverse food culture of Houston. Each plate is designed to be both comforting and surprising, familiar yet new.

This is more than a restaurant.
It is a brand built on heritage and innovation.
A gathering place shaped by story and technique.
A kitchen defined by heart.

Welcome to Longmont Indian Kitchen.
Where tradition meets artistry, and every meal feels like coming home.
