We had a wonderful dining experience! Iliana - the cute little bubbly hispanic girl - was absolutely exceptional, incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The other 2 girls, helping Iliana, Adyson with the beautiful curls and Hazel, the redhead. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The food was excellent, and the outstanding customer service made the experience even better. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant not only to my friends and family, but to my patients as well. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

We came in for the lunch buffet and we were not disappointed! The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I think we have a new Sunday brunch spot. read more

Dark woods and comfortable seating is just the beginning. Our server was absolutely wonderful and had drink refills ready and cleared the plates quickly so they didn't pile up. We had the buffet and were very pleased with the options and the flavors. The food was really good. Highly recommend this place whether for lunch or dinner. I love Indian food and was not disappointed. read more

The Buffet was a bit limited, but everything was tasty. Did they core was excellent and the boost were very comfortable and I did like the atmosphere. Next time I think I'll order off the menu and see how well they do with their signature dishes. read more

While the menu is quite extensive, you are unable to customize any dish. This leads me to believe that the dishes are made well in advance and not "fresh". For example, I could not have any lamb dish without the "gravy". Having said that the condiments, appetizers, and main course were good. The spiced minced beef pastry was quite dry and wasn't flavorful but that's where the condiments came in. The prices and service were great, however the entry way/foyer seemed dirty and forgotten. Not a very welcoming first impression. read more

Because of overall great reviews, we decided to make the drive to eat at Flame. We were there on a Thursday at 11 when they opened. We were the only customers until another couple arrived just as we were leaving. The restaurant is quite fancy and large. We ordered the buffet, which was @ $16. The food was hit and miss. The server made sure our waters were always full. The food was on the warm to lukewarm warm side. Round 1: The Vegetable Samosas were anything but crispy. Dal Soup was tasteless. The Naan was also tasteless. The Saag was tasty, but bland. The Vegetable Jalfrezi was delicious! The Tandoori Chicken was tender. Round 2: More Vegetable Jalfrezi and Dal Makhani, which was flavorful. Another piece of Tandoori Chicken and a side of Raita. The Raita was outstanding. It was thick, which seemed delightfully unusual. Round 3: Tomato soup was temperature hot, which was a bonus. It was a bit sweet and overall quite yummy. The Kheer was very good. I noted it had a lovely floral flavor, confirmed as a touch of rose water on the menu. Generally, the food on the buffet was bland. I guess this makes sense as I'm sure they are trying to appeal to the masses. That said, the dishes would have benefited from more spice. read more

Good food and great service. Last night was my first time to Flame India. My husband has been previously with coworkers. The interior looks kind of fancy compared to the strip mall exterior. They have a bar in the back and a cocktail/alcohol menu. We ordered the Vegetable Pakoras for an appetizer and they were really good. So were the chutneys served with it. I ordered the Basant Chicken. I have never had it before but I thought that it was really tasty. My husband with the Lamb Vindaloo. He enjoyed his, as well. The spice level was 0-6 and I ordered mine on a 3 and my husband on a 5. We thought the levels were what we expected. The Kashmiri Naan was great. Thin, crispy and flavorful. Overall - enjoyable meal and I'll stop back to try more of their menu. read more

It is a nice place but I thought for the lunch buffet price it could have had more variety and more refreshing on some items. It was kind of a slow day so that could've been why. read more

I recently hosted 12 friends at this restaurant, and was again blown away by their sophisticated decor, their hospitality, and the fresh authentic food. They were able to seat us at one table in their "party room," a small alcove to the right of the entrance way. It had a privacy curtain; the table was set beautifully, and it all gave the impression of privacy, comfort and elegance. Our waiter was prompt and helpful, and gave great suggestions to many of us ordering. And then there was the food: there were so many choices on the menu that each of us ordered something different. OMG, the dishes were generous, the meats were tender, and the dishes were uniquely and authentically spiced. The big hits were the fish pakora, the Veggie Flame Special, and the Mixed Platter, Chicken Mango, Chicken Curry, the Salmon Masala, and the Lamb Korma. We sat together, we ate, we shared each other's menu discoveries and meals, and we left happy and satiated!! read more

Just wonderful! Chai tea hits the spot, great chutney, and the chicken makhani tasted sooo good. We will bring back!

This is the best deal in town. I got the combo platter (forget its exact name) which comes on a 'silver platter.' All that food in the photo? $22. Plus I think they gave us a free appetizer. Service was swift. Have enough for at least two meals. read more

Wow, wow, wow! My husband & I just dined here for the first time this evening & we will 100% be back!! Th atmosphere is casual, the music is upbeat, & I feel like you can get away with wearing whatever, really. The service was excellent. Our waitress was extremely pleasant, attentive, & willing to make recommendations. I ordered the Hurricane to drink. She informed us they had just gotten their liquor license & asked how the strength of the drink was when she noticed I had a lot of the drink remaining by the end of the meal. In all honesty, the food was so amazing I wasn't even thinking about the drink, which was also very good. I ordered my go-to, tried & true chicken tikka masala. It had the perfect amount of heat (I got a spice level of 4 out of 6) & the fresh cilantro combined with the creamy, rich, delicious sauce & tender chicken was next-level. My husband & I shared the paneer naan, which tasted fresh, fluffy, & delicious. He had the lamb vindaloo & oh my goodness - the layers of flavor in the dish were unreal. So, so good. He also had a spice level of 4 out of 6 & we both agreed it was perfect. We also agreed this is easily in our top two favorite Indian restaurants we have been to. Truly can't recommend this place enough!! read more

This review is for the buffet only. On a windy Thursday, I found myself in WC. In town for the week and a coworker that has limited dining options: I was left to get my Indian fix on my own. Food: Quite possibly the skimpiest Indian buffet I have ever seen. Even a tiny strip mall place in Westport had more protein options. In addition to the lack of options, what little was on the buffet was also LITTLE on the buffet. The only decent option was the chicken masala. The 4 small chunks/pieces of Tandori did not look good, I took one just to try. It was dry and cold. Naan was a bit dry, probably from sitting too long in the bin. Service: He took my dirty plate away and filled the first glass of water. That was it. Ambiance: Well the place had a total of 5 people dining at around 12:30. One ordered off the menu, not sure what the rest were having. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. Overall: Sorry but for $17 this was not worth it. Maybe ordering off the menu at dinner time is a better option. read more

The service was really quick and friendly, which is always hit or miss at Indian restaurants. They had no issues splitting a check (work dinner) and were very helpful in explaining the menu to some folks who have never ventured into Indian food. The food itself was delicious and pretty large portions. Would absolutely go back, everyone enjoyed it. read more

Got there on a Saturday night around 6. Not a lot of people in the restaurant but noticed a lot of takeout while we were there. I got the chicken tikka masala saag spice level 6 and the wife got the chicken tikka masala spice level 1. And we got the garlic naan. At first I thought that was very little food but eating the rice the main dish and the naan, it was plenty. The disk spice level was perfect for me. Hot but not too hot to enjoy my dinner. The food was good and the restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. The only complaint was my wife like the chicken shredded versus cubed. I like the place but it was a far drive for us and there is an Indian restaurant closer which is very good as well that we frequent. I saw they have a buffet but it looks small and may not be worth the drive for me. I do wish all the Indian restaurants come back with the buffet which was the reason why we tried it and love the food. That is a way to get new customers that may never had Indian food and too scared to try it. read more

3/4/23 I came here with my husband for our date night dinner Saturday evening. The restaurant was 80% empty. We were greeted and seated immediately as we walked in. We ordered; Flame India Special Thal medium level 3 heat, mushroom Mater, garlic naan and mango lassi. The food was very delicious and made to order. We had so much food. Next time we will be ordering just one entree as we had a lot of leftover. The 3 condiments that are provided with your meal is very tasty. The tomato chili chutney is spicier than the level 3 spice on our food so beware. The rice is refilled upon request. Our waitress was very attentive and encouraged various things for us to try since we both enjoy Indian food. The ambiance is great, very causal, no music. I believe they have a lunch buffet here as they had a setup that looked like that's what they offer. Overall, the food and the experience was great. We would both most definitely return here in the future. read more

The food was really good I had the fish korma it was one of of my favorite Indian I have had I had level 2 this was middle but tasty

The buffet is excellent, definitely a 5 star. I appreciate an Indian place finally reopening a buffet. I had issues with a carryout of mine though. The dal lentil soup I got was tasty, but just a tiny little cup for $6 wasn't worth it. Paneer Tikka masala was tasty, but it was mostly soup/gravy. There were only 5 pieces of paneer in the entire portion which isn't acceptable. I will try the buffet again but no more carryout for me. read more

Flame India Restaurant - Soup was tasty but small portion for $6. More of a $3 price point. Curry was good but only 5 pieces of cheese in the entire entree. - Indian Near Me - West Chester Township, Ohio

Before the pandemic, Indian Buffets were a staple stop for me. I loved being able to try a variety of items as I love Indian food. Since most of the spots in my area stopped serving buffets and never reopened, Flame stepped up to the plate. They offer a lunch buffet every day 11-2:30 (starts at 11:30 on Sundays). The quality of food in this buffet is up to par, and there is no drought on variety. There's Saag, butter chicken, naan, all the classics and some other options as well. They even have a sauce station with Raita and all the chutneys. Everything is cooked fresh and comes out in rotation as everyone eats. Definitely recommend to get your Indian Fix! Come hungry read more

Last night our neighborhood get together was held at Flame in West Chester. I am the lucky one that gets to book these events and find the restaurants. Well, let me tell ya this is the best!!! I have never worked with a more accommodating group then these guys!! They were so pleasant and the food was excellent!! Everyone raved about all the different entries we got and the bar was amazing!! Great place, would go back in a minute and there were 17 of us . Really good!! read more

Had a great dinner here! Very delicious. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala which was creamy and full of flavor. Service was very nice and attentive. The restaurant is much bigger than it appears on the outside. If I was being picky, the men's restroom wasn't as clean as it could have been but it wasn't terrible either. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Recently checked out this new-ish Indian place while visiting my parents. Just a heads up if you're visiting soon, they don't have their liquor license yet, so drinks are not available. I'd recommend calling ahead if that's something you care about. To start we ordered the papdi chaat and flame special. The flame special was good, a mixture of veggies and chicken inside a puff pastry. The papdi chaat was pretty good too. You definitely need the sauces served on the side to add more flavor and spice. For dinner we ordered the chicken tikka masala, eggplant and mushroom curry and vegetable biryani along with spicy naan and garlic naan. We asked for the biryani without the nuts and raisins, which was still included but the waitress was quick to take it back and bring a fresh one, which was much appreciated. The food was pretty good, portions are slightly on the smaller side, however we still had leftovers from each dish with four people. Everything could have used a little more flavor and spice for us, but that could have been our fault for ordering a 4, though that's usually a pretty good spice level at other places (the scale is 1-6). The staff was really friendly and the space was really big with a nice atmosphere. Overall, it was good experience, but I've definitely had better Indian food in the area. read more

I went to the West Chester location for the first time in December 2025, and two weeks later I had a fraudulent charge on the credit card I used there. The charge was for $300 at Flame India Restaurant, so they're not even clever about it. read more

My favorite saag paneer! I also love their chicken tikka masala, vindaloo and jalfrezi.

Food was great! Service was just as good. Restaurant appeared clean and well kept. They should have definitely been busier than appeared but maybe we were just in between a rush. Will definitely return. read more

So good! There's nothing to say but, "yum"! Wonderful service, pretty decor, fair prices and amazing food! read more

Awesome restaurant for their buffet and takeout! It is super easy to order takeout or stop in for their lunch buffet. The inside of the restaurant is very elegant and is one of the best Indian restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area. One of my favorites is their garlic naan and onion naan. It goes great with everything on their menu! Every time I visit the servers are very polite and professional and the service is fast. When I order takeout it is also fast and on time! I highly recommend visiting Flame. read more

First of all, the service was perfection. Attentive, friendly, accurate, and accommodating. The food was also wonderful. And the mango lassi was both delicious and affordable. Folks are saying the ambiance is fancy, but I thought it just felt nice. Didn't feel intimidating at all. I love it here. Hoping to be back sooner rather than later. read more

Everything I had was really flavorful. I like that you have 6 spice levels to choose from. I want with 5, and next time I'd go with 4 lol but it was still good. The rice was perfectly cooked and once I dumped everything on my plate, it was a bigger portion than i realized which was a good thing The nan was great with the sauce or it's own. The mango lassi helped cool off my tongue when I needed it. read more

We came into the restaurant 30 minutes before they were scheduled to close for lunch.

Me and my husband have been looking for an Indian buffet, ever since Covid closed down all of our old regulars. It's a bit on the expensive side ($16 per person) but everything is these days.

We decided to try this place out. We were pleasantly surprised when we found out they had a buffet. We got to try things we maybe wouldn't have tried before.

Tried this place out for the first time and ordered our food for carry out. It was a little on the pricier side, but I think it's worth a try. Their spice levels is no joke! The chicken tikka masala was delicious, paired with garlic nan, rice and an order of samosas. I will definitely be coming again some day! read more

While waiting for an order from PF Chang's, we decided to get an appetizer from Flame India Restaurant. All I can say is: I'm so glad we did! The storefront restaurant looks small from the outside, but once we had entered, we got to see how large and clean it was. The décor was very inviting and spacious. In truth, I was actually disappointed we did not have the time to dine in. We ordered an appetizer, "Aloo Tikka Chat"- (Spiced Potatoes with Chickpeas and Yogurt), to go. Our food came out piping hot and smelled absolutely fantastic! The best news of all...it tasted as good as it smelled. The chickpeas mixed with the sauce, lentils and the spiced potatoes at the bottom, were really tasty. My wife, liked the taste of it also, with a few exceptions, (the Cilantro was a bit heavy, and the yogurt mixed in made it very thick). I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and I can't wait to try their actual entrees. A+! read more

Flame India Restaurant is THE best Indian Restaurant in Northern Cincinnati off Union Center Exit near Bravo and PF Changs. The interior is very nice and everyone is very nice with great selections on their menu. This is my second meal, first was Chicken Tikki Massala and this time Lamb Curry with garlic naan bread. Amazingly fresh, great flavor and very attentive. They have lunch buffet weekdays and Saturday. I wanna go back on a Saturday for the buffet. I had a 2 on a scale from 1-6 and it definitely had a kick so be cautious of your spice level but none the same it was delicious. Please support them as they are small and local!! Tell your friends!! Great experience!! read more
