We are an immigrant-owned local, small business. Madhoo Seth aka Spice Girl is the founder and Executive Chef of Roots. She is from New Delhi, India and is the driving force behind the outstanding flavors, creativity and customer experience that we strive to provide through our Restaurant and Catering operations. We are committed to environmental sustainability, fair wages, income equality, community wellbeing & inclusiveness.
Roots is a culmination of almost 2 decades of food and hospitality experience. We began as a full-service catering company "The Gourmet Kitchen" in Feb 2003, serving a variety of multicultural and fusion food to our clients in Denver Metro and Front Range. In December 2014 we opened Copper Leaf Gardens & Event Center. COVID-19 severely impacted our event and catering business, so in true immigrant fashion, we opened Roots Restaurant in July 2020.
Roots is about authentic flavors from around the world, humility, and caring about our community & environment. We recognize that everything is connected, and our action or inaction has consequences. That is why we decided that environmental sustainability, fair wages, income equality, community wellbeing & inclusiveness will be our core values. These core values are our North Star and are our guide while we work hard to fulfill our promise of providing outstanding flavors and hospitality to our guests. There will be an automatic 22% employee & environment sustainability (EES) fee on the check. This is NOT a tip. EES fees pay for fair wages, paid time off, wellness allowance/ health insurance, our sustainability efforts, and making your meal carbon neutral.
