Little India Restaurant & Bar

What Little India Restaurant & Bar does

Little India Restaurant & Bar is a single-location Indian restaurant and bar operating in Lakewood, Colorado under One World Cuisine LLC since 2010. The business serves local diners with dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering, and private dining service lines, anchored by a ~90-seat dining room and a bar program. It has sustained "Best Indian Restaurant" recognition in the Denver-area market for 15+ years, reflecting durable local brand equity.

The company operates a multi-channel ordering stack that combines a proprietary mobile app with third-party delivery partnerships (ChowNow, Uber Eats) and Clover as its point-of-sale platform. The technology footprint is consumer-facing and operational rather than proprietary; it does not include disclosed AI, data, or software products. The offering is delivered from one physical location, supported by a lean team of roughly 6 employees.

The business model is a conventional full-service restaurant economics structure: revenue is generated per cover through dine-in traffic, alcohol sales at the bar, takeout and delivery orders routed through owned and third-party channels, and event-based catering and private dining engagements. There is no outside funding, the company is privately held, and unit expansion, franchising, or wholesale distribution are not indicated in the available data.
