Westword: Bada Bing Grill Serves Up an Odd Culinary Trifecta

Westword | Gil Asakawa | October 9, 2025

Sometimes, restaurants with a loyal customer base can change and evolve their menus while staying popular. Sometimes, a place like that can even keep its name even as its identity morphs. But it’s not often that a restaurant can keep its loyal customer base and its name while adding an entirely new cuisine. That’s what has happened at Bada Bing Grill in Arvada, located off Ward Road and 58th Avenue in a blandly anonymous professional building.

A decade ago, it opened in a location that had served pizza, but as Bada Bing, it added Greek food to the mix. Its owner at the time was both Greek and Italian, and the eatery built a following for both cuisines. In late 2024, Sajal KC, an entrepreneur who has experience as an accountant and a real estate broker, took over the space. His family operates restaurants in Nepal, and earlier this year, with the help of family member Luna Thapa, Bada Bing added its newest culinary twist: Indian and Nepalese fare.

Thapa is the assistant manager and webmaster for the restaurant. She explains that when he bought the restaurant, KC decided to keep the pizza and Greek food on the menu because he had been wanting to open a pizza restaurant (pizza has high profit margins), and the gyros sandwich was the best seller.

“Last summer, the owner and his wife decided to sell the place and then move to another state,” Thapa says. “That’s why, when the restaurant was sold to Sajal, it was a Greek and Italian restaurant. So the oven and everything for the pizza existed before he took over, and because the previous owner was Greek and Italian, that’s why the restaurant served both.”
