They offer a fairly substantial buffet, condiment bar and dessert station. It's difficult for me to describe the food holders but they were top shelf...the food wasn't open to the air nor topped with a cumbersome lid one had to wrestle with. That said, I didn't have the buffet because I had a particular idea of what I wanted to eat and wasn't interested in the expanse the buffet offered. I order salt Lassi, excellent exactly how I like it. For appetizer, I ordered "Gol gappa chaat", which has chick peas, potatoes and put into a light crispy shell. Delicious! The chutney add a little extra oomph to every bit. For my main, I ordered Anarkali, whose spices penetrated the vegetables as well as the shrimp. Delicious! I ordered Coconut naan and Chili naan mostly out of curiosity...as it's not something that is often available at Indian restaurants I've visited among my travels. That said, I could not enjoy them because they arrive at my table very early and without my main...almost as if the naan was an appetizer...which is very unusual in my experience. Lastly, I could not chose between a dessert I've never had (Rasmalai) and a dessert I alway have (gulab jamun)...so I ordered them both, which was a tremendous indulgence that I enjoyed in every sweet bite. The ambiance is second to none! But the restaurant for me doesn't get 5 stars because of the service...not that the server wasn't good, she was fine, attentive etc. but the long wait for the main that literally spoiled my naan ( it was cold) is something I'm not willing to forgive. The place was busy and perhaps thats why the kitchen was so slow. The food that I had though for the most part was delicious ! Very enjoyable, I'd certainly recommend them to anyone I know going to Winnipeg's downtown area.

3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more I'd say this is up there for Indian restaurants in Winnipeg. I've been to Shahi Flames a few times now, and usually the restaurant itself isn't too busy, but they do a lot of take out orders. It's a pretty large restaurant, so it concerns me slightly at how quiet it is each time. However the food's been consistent here and I've never had issues with food quality at all. My go-to dishes here have been the lamb dishes. I've had their Lamb Curry, Lamb Tikka Masala, and Lamb Vindaloo. All excellent, and you can adjust the spice levels as needed (I usually go medium; spicy is REALLY spicy). If anything I wish the glasses (for filling in water) were a bit bigger, and the water was not so...lukewarm. That's about my only complaint though, everything else about this place I love. Service has always been good here. Will continue to return for sure.

It is spacious but also intimate. When I was there I saw couples cuddling while they ate their meals. My friend and I loved our dishes. I tried the Vegetable Biryani with a side of raita. The waitress asked me if I wanted it spicy and I said no. The meal wasn't too spicy hot just a little bit which was good for me because I don't enjoy very hot things. I mixed the raita with the rice which cooled the flavor down a bit. I loved the big paneer chunks mixed in with the veggies in my rice. The pomegranate juice was okay, my friend's mango juice was sweeter and tastier though. My friend is from India and he said this restaurant has authentic Indian food. He completely approved his meal too, he had the Vegetarian Thali. He let me try some of the veggie purées and the rice pudding and both were super yummy. I'd love to come back and try more meals!

Started with samosas which were prepared with chickpeas and sauce which I had not had that way. Very good and provides excellent additional flavor. Next was butter chicken which I found a bit sweet for my taste and was the same sauce on the paneer. The lamb vindaloo was cooked well but not spicy enough for a vindaloo in my opinion. Overall great experience and will go back.

Vegetable korma was basically frozen veg in a broth. I can excuse frozen veg-they're pretty common in this dish-but again, the sauce was flavorless and watery.

We ordered a lot of food and everything was delicious! The Mango Lassi is excellent and so was my Iced Masala Chai. They were served in large mason jars which was kind of unique. My favorite meal was the Vegetable Pakora. The Hara Bhara Kebab is really interesting because it's green, even the inside of it. My friend ate some of my food and then ate the Masala Papadam which were like very oily big chips that you put vegetable pieces on. I'd love to check the ambiance this place has at night and try their alcoholic drinks. The waitress was nice and helpful. Feel free to ask her for advice on what to eat like we did.
